Megan returned from her trip a day early, craving comfort. Instead, she walked into her own home and found strangers touring it—her husband had secretly listed it for sale. Among the potential buyers stood Crystal, a woman Megan had seen laughing intimately with Tom, her husband, just weeks earlier.
Stunned but composed, Megan played along. Tom, unaware of her early return, invited her to a hotel room and pitched the sale as a dream opportunity. But Megan’s instincts screamed betrayal. She took the paperwork to her lawyer, who confirmed her worst fear: if she signed, she’d lose everything.
So Megan devised a plan. She signed fake documents—legally void but convincing. Tom, smug and triumphant, thought he’d won. Days later, he returned with Crystal, flaunting their takeover. Crystal mocked Megan, calling her an “old woman” and demanding she leave.
But Megan stood firm. Calmly, she revealed the truth: the papers were fake, the house was still hers, and every word of their fraud had been overheard—by Officer James, whom she’d invited for tea.
Tom and Crystal were arrested on the spot. Megan watched them go, her home intact, her dignity restored. She brewed tea, sat by the window, and whispered to the night: “Let the next chapter begin.”
