The police arrived within minutes and I handed them the digital recording. Mrs. Peterson gave her statement and Mr. Sullivan explained exactly what he had witnessed.

Megan tried to act as if she was just a bystander, but my phone had captured her laughter. Jason was arrested that night and taken away in handcuffs.

As they put him in the back of the patrol car, he looked at me with pure hatred. “You are going to regret this for the rest of your life,” he threatened.

I wiped the blood from my mouth and looked him in the eye. “No, Jason, I only regret not doing this many years ago,” I replied.

The next morning, I woke up in my parents’ guest room because the house felt too empty. My mother’s coffee cup was still by the sink and my father’s glasses were on the table.

For a moment, I cried so hard that I could barely catch my breath. Then my phone rang and it was Mr. Thompson, the family lawyer.

“Olivia, I need you to come to my office because there is something your father prepared months ago,” he said. I arrived two hours later with sunglasses to cover my swollen eyes.
