I only wanted to enjoy a peaceful weekend at my beach house. But when I arrived, my sister’s husband was already there with his entire family and shouted, “What is this parasite doing here? Leave right now!” I simply smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll go.” But what happened afterward made him deeply regret those words.

“Exactly.”

“And you, Camila? Do you agree?”

My sister avoided my eyes again.

“It’s only a weekend, Valeria. Don’t be dramatic.”

I nodded slowly.

Inside my mind, I was already planning my next move.

“Alright,” I said.
“Enjoy your weekend.”

I walked out, leaving the door wide open behind me.

When I got into my car, I could still hear their laughter inside the house.

They thought they had won.

They thought I would accept the humiliation like I always had.

They had no idea what was about to happen.

I drove exactly three minutes before pulling into a small roadside gas station.
