Chapter 13 - MOVING DAY FOR THE UNGRATEFUL

Fourteen days after the glass door shattered, two large moving trucks pulled up to the main house. Ethan and Vanessa were forced to pack their personal clothing and items into cardboard boxes under the watchful eye of a court-appointed bailiff. They had no access to cash to hire professional movers, and their high-society friends had already vanished the moment the foreclosure notices went live on public registries. As Vanessa dragged her designer luggage across the gravel driveway, she glared at me with pure venom, but I remained seated peacefully on the cottage porch, sipping my tea as they drove away into absolute obscurity.
