SLAP.
A loud slap landed on Gerald’s face—not from me, but from Beatrice.
“You shameless man!” she screamed. “You said you were rich! You said you owned everything! You’re a liar! I don’t want a loser who’s jobless and drowning in debt!”
She ripped off her engagement ring, threw it at his face, and stormed out of the ballroom with her politician parents.
Gerald was left in the middle of the room—crying, bride-less, jobless, and utterly humiliated in front of the ex-wife he once called a “starving nobody.”
I bent down and whispered my final words to him.
“You said I didn’t fit your ambitions. You were right—because I’m far above you now.”
I took the twins’ hands.
“Let’s go, kids. Let’s eat at Mommy’s restaurant. The food at a traitor’s wedding isn’t good.”
We walked away as everyone stood frozen. The only sound left was Gerald’s sobbing, heavy with regret.
Revenge doesn’t always need violence. Sometimes, you just have to succeed—until they destroy themselves.
MORAL: Never step on someone who is down, because you don’t know when the world will turn. The person you oppressed before might one day become your boss. Karma is like an elevator—if you go up by stepping on others, remember that you will eventually come back down.
