Sarah delivered the eviction notice, while I quietly informed the local authorities…
While I awaited the outcome, I received a call from an unexpected ally—Sierra’s father. He was a man of considerable influence, and though we had never been particularly close, he expressed an apology for his daughter’s behavior. “I never raised her to behave like this,” he confessed, a tinge of regret in his voice. “If…
A week later, I returned to the estate. This time, it was silent, devoid of the chaos that had greeted me before. The eviction had been successful, and Sierra, along with her entourage, had vacated the premises. As I walked through the house, I felt a sense of peace. My home was mine once more,…
