After Tiffany’s arrest, the company was in
turmoil.
Dad discovered that Tiffany had embezzled
eighty million!
Some of that money was spent on male
escorts!
He reported it, adding another charge against
Tiffany.
Unexpectedly, Tiffany didn’t implicate Tiffany,
who was released.
But Dad announced that Tiffany was no
longer part of the family.
Everyone Tiffany had wronged sought
revenge.
Some whose relationships she’d interfered
with beat her up.
Tiffany, once high and mighty, fell into the
mud.
A month and a half later, Lily was discharged.
I bought her sunflowers.
A celebration of her recovery, and our new
life.
“Thank you, sis!” Lily smiled, holding the
flowers. Ethan arrived.
For a month and a half, he’d come every day,
begging for forgiveness.
“Sarah, I’ve booked a restaurant, we should
celebrate Lily’s discharge.”

I ignored him. He stayed by my side, talking
incessantly.
“Sarah, it was my fault, I’ll compensate you,
okay?”
“Forgive me…”
But I couldn’t forgive him!
If the police hadn’t arrived, I didn’t want to
imagine what would have happened to Lily!
“Ethan, we’re over, don’t bother me again!”
Ethan looked at Lily for help.
Lily knew what he’d done to me, and ignored
him.
Then, a sharp female voice.
“You and your mother ruined everything!
Sarah, why don’t you just die!! I’ll kill you!!!”
Tiffany charged at us with a knife.
I instinctively shielded Lily, but Ethan was
faster, taking the knife for me!
The blade entered his abdomen!
Hospital security subdued Tiffany, and Ethan

was rushed to surgery.
“Sarah…”
Before being wheeled away, Ethan looked at
me longingly.
I said, “We’re even. Don’t see each other
again.”
I called Ethan’s parents.
After they arrived, I left with Lily.
