Now, you’re begging me for cash?”
Liam looked down at his feet. “It’s different now.”
“No,” I said firmly. “It’s exactly the same.
You screw up, and you expect me to bail you out.”
Madison scoffed. “Oh, come on. You have more than enough.
You’re just being greedy.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Greedy? You literally tried to steal from me.”
She rolled her eyes.
“Whatever. Enjoy your blood money.”
I didn’t say another word. I just slammed the door in their faces.
And for the first time in years, I felt zero guilt.
The next morning, I stepped outside and stopped cold.
All four of my tires?
Slashed.
Deep, jagged cuts, like someone had gone to town with a knife. I crouched down, running a finger along one of the slashes. The rubber was completely destroyed.
Any last bit of guilt I had?
Gone.
I pulled out my phone and called the police.
An officer arrived within the hour, took one look at the damage, and nodded. “You got any idea who might’ve done this?”
I let out a short laugh. “Oh, I have a very good idea.”
I gave them both names.
Later that day, I called my lawyer.
The moment I told him, he actually laughed.
“Oh, this just keeps getting better,” he said. “You realize we have her on record making legal threats against you, right?”
I grinned. “Sure do.”
“This is open-and-shut,” he said.
“Between the fraud, the vandalism, and the threats, they’re both in trouble now.”
Good. I was done playing nice.
Liam and Madison thought they could take what was mine. Now, they were going to learn the hard way that actions have consequences.
