Chapter 2 - The Blocked Accounts
Back at the Vance house, chaos had completely erupted.
Eleanor stared at the ruined breakfast scattered all over her cheap linoleum floor.
"How dare she disrespect us like this!" Eleanor screamed, wiping coffee off her robe.
Marcus burst back through the front door, his face pale with panic.
"She left! She actually drove away!" he yelled, grabbing his hair.
Chloe rolled her eyes, still scrolling through her phone.
"Just call her and apologize, Marcus, I need her card to go shopping later."
Marcus pulled out his phone and dialed Elena's number.
It went straight to voicemail.
He tried again, but the automated voice confirmed he was blocked.
Panic began to settle deep in his chest.
He opened his digital wallet to check the balance on his platinum card.
A bright red error message popped up on the screen.
"Account Suspended. Please contact the primary cardholder."
Marcus felt the blood drain completely from his face.
"She froze the cards," he whispered in absolute horror.
Arthur finally looked up from his empty plate.
"What do you mean she froze the cards?" he asked nervously.
"She took all the money," Marcus said, his voice cracking.
Eleanor scoffed, crossing her arms stubbornly.
"She's just throwing a childish tantrum."

"She will come crawling back by tonight, you'll see."
But deep down, Marcus knew Elena was not the type to bluff.
