Chapter 10
I laughed. “You probably won’t believe this, but I’m literally on the other side of the world right now.”
The three of them went dead silent on the other end.
For the first time in my life, I dropped my quiet, obedient act “I have a few confessions to make.”
“First, I found your Reddit account – TrainingMyDaughter’ of whatever sick username you picked. I’ve read every single disgusting post.”
Second, I deliberately put Tyler’s passport in my drawer. The moment you guys left that day, I watched you break into my room through the nanny cam. That’s why I rushed back to interrupt you before you could check whose passport you were about to destroy.”
Third, and most importantly that ID you took from me and the passport you burned? Both fake. I’ve been playing the victim this whole time just to get your money for my real study abroad fund.”
All three of them completely lost their shit.
Tyler was screaming: “You think you can just disappear and get away with this?!”
“I’m already reapplying for my visa! Once I get approved, I’m coming to hunt you down and make you fucking pay!”
I shrugged like I didn’t have a care in the world. “Good luck with that.”
“But heads up – I switched schools and countries while you were busy plotting. So finding me might take you a while!”
With that, I yanked out my SIM card and tossed it in the nearest trash can.
I had their money and my freedom. What more could I ask for?
Later, through old friends and social media stalking, I found out what happened to my toxic family.
Tyler racked up massive student loan debt trying to get into decent schools, but his grades were trash and he kept getting rejected. Steve and Karen blew through their retirement savings trying to help him, but it was a lost cause.
Eventually Tyler gave up on college entirely and started working at some chain restaurant. The stress destroyed Steve and Karen’s marriage, and now all three of them are barely speaking to each other.
From what I heard, they’re all pretty miserable.
