“I remember them all.
“The moment I had money, I wanted to come back and make life better for all of
- us.
“But the moment I said I was
unemployed, you were thinking about how to kick me out.
“And you dare to say you gave birth to and
raised me?
“Tell Colton to hurry up with the transfer. If he doesn’t, I’ll ruin his job. The same goes for Marcela. I won‘ t spare any of them!”
I hired a few tough–looking guys with tattoos, and they accompanied Colton to and from work every day. They were just waiting for my word to get him fired.

In the end, Colton was sentenced to death.
When my parents heard the news, they fainted on the spot.
I didn’t follow up on any of these events afterward.
Perhaps if they lived long enough to need support from me, I would give them the court–mandated 500 dollars per month.

Meanwhile, I began a journey around the world with Emily.
End.
