Chapter 9 - The Financial Collapse

Without my constant financial support, Brenda and Jessica’s world began to crumble rapidly.

I heard the updates through Aunt Linda, who occasionally checked in on them just to report back to me.

Jessica’s car was repossessed within a month.

She had completely relied on me to make the payments whenever she decided to spend her money on clothes and vacations.

Without a car, she had to take the bus to work, which she complained about endlessly on her new, private social media accounts.

Brenda’s situation was even worse.

She had been living in an apartment she couldn't afford, assuming I would always cover the difference.

When the landlord realized I was no longer backing the lease, he demanded proof of her income.

She couldn't provide it.

She was served with a thirty-day eviction notice.

Aunt Linda told me they were desperately trying to borrow money from extended relatives.

But because I had posted the receipts, everyone knew exactly who they were dealing with.

Nobody gave them a single dime.

They were finally facing the consequences of their own actions.

They had treated people like endless bank accounts, and now the accounts were permanently closed.

I listened to these updates without a single ounce of guilt.

I was too busy enjoying the pure joy of watching Maya discover the world.
