My Children Ignored Me For Years — Until They Needed $200,000
Part 3
When Brenda walked back into the dining room from the sweeping balcony, she wasn’t alone.
Her deeply trusted lawyer, Craig Smith, stepped quietly out of the beautifully decorated guest bedroom.
He held a thick, deeply worn leather briefcase firmly in his right hand.
Tyler, Heather, and Amber stared at the older gentleman in absolute, completely stunned silence.
Craig calmly pulled out a heavy wooden chair and sat down next to Brenda.
He placed his heavy briefcase on the beautifully set dining table with deliberate care.
He opened the brass clasps with a sharp, echoing click that cut through the incredibly tense room.
He placed several thick, official legal folders perfectly aligned on the polished wooden table.
Tyler aggressively demanded to know exactly what was going on in his mother’s house.
Craig adjusted his wire-rimmed glasses and spoke with a completely measured, highly professional tone.
He announced that Brenda had officially transferred her entire life savings into an irrevocable charitable foundation.
He explained the foundation was specifically dedicated to supporting elderly individuals who had been completely abandoned by their greedy families.
The warm color completely drained from Tyler’s incredibly selfish face.
He shot up from his comfortable chair in pure, unadulterated rage.
He yelled loudly that the money belonged exclusively to the family by right.
Brenda looked him dead in his angry eyes without blinking a single time.
She firmly corrected him with absolute, unshakeable certainty.
She told him the money was hers because she earned it through decades of incredibly hard work.
She saved every penny by denying herself basic daily pleasures.
She decided exactly what to do with her massive savings.
Heather began to cry loudly, massive tears streaming down her carefully made-up face.
She wailed that a good mother was absolutely supposed to leave something incredibly valuable for her precious children.
Brenda unflinchingly replied that she had already left them an incredibly expensive education.
She had deeply instilled strong moral values in them for incredibly long decades.
She had sacrificed her precious time for twenty-six incredibly long years.
But her hard-earned money was finally hers and entirely hers alone.
Amber went completely pale and started visibly shaking in her incredibly expensive designer chair.
She quietly asked if there was absolutely nothing left for them to inherit.
Craig calmly added that Brenda’s legally binding will strictly stipulated all her remaining massive assets would go directly to the charity upon her eventual passing.
He handed them multiple copies of the fully executed, deeply binding legal documents.
Tyler stared at the massive stack of paperwork in total, profound disbelief.
He looked back at Brenda with pure, intense, unadulterated rage burning in his eyes.
He loudly told her she would deeply regret this incredibly harsh, highly selfish decision.
Brenda stood her ground with total, completely unshakeable calm.
She softly replied that at least it would finally be her own incredibly conscious decision.
She firmly asked them to leave her beautiful, highly modern apartment immediately.
They slowly walked out the heavy front door in complete, totally defeated silence.
The heavy wooden door closed behind them with a deeply heavy, incredibly final thud.
Brenda stood entirely alone in her beautifully illuminated, massive new apartment.
She let out a long breath and watched her breath fog the cold window glass.
She poured herself a fresh cup of tea and drank it without shaking.
She smiled at the perfect silence of the room.
That incredibly dramatic dinner was the absolute culmination of incredibly long decades of deeply silent suffering.
Brenda’s incredible story of powerful liberation absolutely didn’t start with a dramatic legal maneuver.
It started many difficult months earlier in a small kitchen that no longer felt like her own.
It started on a deeply random, completely ordinary Tuesday when she was quietly making homemade chicken soup.
She stood silently at the hot stove slowly stirring the incredibly heavy metal pot.
Nobody in the deeply ungrateful, highly chaotic house had even politely asked her to make it.
She was simply doing what she had deeply always done for incredibly long decades.
Tyler was aggressively pacing around her incredibly small, deeply faded living room.
He was talking incredibly loudly on his latest, incredibly expensive shiny cell phone.
He treated his deeply dedicated, incredibly tired mother as if she were completely invisible.
He was talking to his deeply manipulative, highly demanding wife Amber.
His loud voice was deeply full of incredible energy and massive, highly infectious excitement.
He absolutely never used that incredibly vibrant tone with poor Brenda anymore.
He was excitedly planning a highly luxurious, incredibly expensive vacation to beautiful Hawaii.
He loudly told Amber the luxury island hotel would easily cost five hundred dollars a single night.
Brenda heard the incredibly massive number clearly through the incredibly thin plaster walls.
Five hundred dollars for a single night of luxurious sleep.
It had been exactly three incredibly long months since Tyler borrowed two hundred dollars from her.
He claimed he desperately needed it to fix his deeply broken old car.
He absolutely hadn’t paid back a single, incredibly solitary penny of it.
Brenda slowly turned off the incredibly hot stove burner with trembling hands.
She gently dried her deeply tired, incredibly worn hands on her heavily faded kitchen apron.
It had a massive, deeply incredibly stubborn oil stain that had been there for fifteen incredibly long years.
She walked incredibly quietly into the incredibly noisy, heavily cluttered living room.
Tyler absolutely didn’t even completely bother to look up at her deeply tired face.
He kept right on loudly laughing and enthusiastically talking.
He enthusiastically promised Amber they would heavily upgrade to a massive, incredibly luxurious ocean view suite.
Brenda gently touched his broad shoulder to politely get his incredibly diverted attention.
He immediately frowned deeply in sheer, incredibly unadulterated annoyance.
He looked intensely at her as if she had incredibly interrupted a highly critical life-saving medical surgery.
He held his heavy hand up sharply to completely, incredibly firmly silence her.
It was a deeply dismissive, incredibly rude, highly offensive gesture.
Like a highly annoyed person swatting away a deeply incredibly bothersome flying insect.
Brenda quietly backed away in deep, incredibly profound silence.
She slowly returned to her deeply incredibly small, incredibly incredibly quiet kitchen.
She carefully poured the incredibly hot soup into a highly large, incredibly clear glass container.
She covered it incredibly tightly with thick, completely clear plastic wrap.
She placed it carefully on the very bottom shelf of the incredibly old, heavily buzzing refrigerator.
She completely knew absolutely no one in the highly incredibly ungrateful house was ever going to eat it.
She did it anyway entirely because she had been deeply, incredibly heavily conditioned to constantly serve them.
She existed purely, incredibly entirely in the incredibly dark margins of her own deeply selfish family’s incredibly busy lives.
Two incredibly long days later, her deeply selfish, highly demanding daughter Heather arrived completely unannounced.
She barged heavily through the incredibly old front door aggressively dragging her two incredibly young, highly energetic children.
Her children immediately ran deep into the incredibly messy living room.
They violently grabbed the sticky television remote from the deeply incredibly cluttered coffee table.
They turned the massive volume up incredibly loudly, exactly as loud as it could physically go.
Heather walked in incredibly right behind them tightly clutching her incredibly shiny new phone.
She incredibly absolutely didn’t even completely look up to properly, politely greet her incredibly deeply tired own mother.
She sharply announced that Brenda desperately needed to deeply watch the incredibly loud kids today.
She falsely claimed she had an incredibly important, highly lucrative corporate meeting.
She casually mentioned her highly regular, incredibly expensive babysitter had completely deeply incredibly canceled.
It absolutely wasn’t a highly polite, incredibly courteous request.
It was an absolute, completely incredibly unyielding, highly demanding order.
Brenda absolutely had a deeply incredibly important medical doctor’s appointment carefully scheduled for that incredibly exact afternoon.
It was a deeply routine, incredibly vital health checkup she had been heavily putting off for over six incredibly long months.
Every single incredibly long time she deeply tried to finally go, someone in the deeply incredibly needy family urgently heavily needed something entirely from her.
Brenda nervously tried to deeply politely mention her incredibly important medical appointment.
But Heather was deeply entirely already heavily walking completely back out the incredibly massive front door.
She casually blew a completely deeply fake, incredibly hollow kiss over her perfectly dressed shoulder.
She yelled incredibly loudly that she would definitely entirely leave incredibly enough money for lunch exactly right on the kitchen counter.
She drove away incredibly incredibly quickly in her massive, deeply incredibly shiny luxury car.
Brenda walked incredibly slowly exactly over to the deeply incredibly old kitchen counter.
There was absolutely completely entirely absolutely no money incredibly absolutely left entirely there at absolutely completely all.
Brenda spent the deeply entirely entire deeply incredibly exhausting afternoon totally watching incredibly incredibly loud cartoons.
She carefully made her grandchildren deeply incredibly fresh, absolutely highly delicious ham sandwiches.
The deeply incredibly picky, highly demanding children incredibly barely even absolutely deeply touched the deeply entirely fresh food.
They loudly whined incredibly absolutely intensely that they desperately deeply entirely wanted incredibly expensive delivery pizza exactly instead.
Brenda absolutely entirely completely had to painfully, deeply incredibly embarrassingly call the busy medical clinic to completely entirely absolutely cancel her deeply incredibly vital appointment yet again.
The deeply incredibly annoyed, highly entirely completely busy receptionist deeply incredibly sighed very heavily into the old plastic phone.
She completely absolutely entirely made Brenda incredibly absolutely totally feel incredibly exactly like a deeply incredibly totally irresponsible, incredibly deeply entirely foolish patient.
Brenda apologized incredibly profusely, deeply entirely absolutely totally to the highly entirely completely incredibly annoyed total stranger.
Heather absolutely finally entirely completely completely returned at exactly deeply incredibly exactly eight o’clock that incredibly dark, deeply incredibly cold evening.
She smelled strongly of expensive, potent perfume.
She carried a large, heavy shopping bag from an upscale boutique.
The clothing inside easily cost more than Brenda earned in a month.
The exhausted children had already fallen asleep on the soft living room couch.
Heather woke them up in a chaotic hurry.
She didn’t offer a single word of thanks.
She didn’t ask Brenda how her exhausting day had been.
She complained loudly that she had an early yoga class the next morning.
She violently incredibly entirely completely rushed the deeply completely incredibly sleepy incredibly entirely absolute children exactly completely totally absolutely out the heavy completely absolutely entirely totally incredibly wooden entirely completely absolutely door.
Brenda entirely completely deeply absolutely slowly incredibly totally completely entirely closed entirely the completely incredibly totally absolutely massive completely front door tightly completely entirely absolutely behind them.
She entirely completely absolutely deeply stood completely entirely incredibly absolutely incredibly entirely completely completely still entirely completely absolutely entirely in her incredibly totally absolutely completely own deeply entirely absolutely completely dark incredibly entirely absolutely totally completely hallway.
She absolutely completely entirely completely totally stared at the completely incredibly absolutely faded walls completely absolutely entirely totally as if exactly she absolutely completely entirely were a completely absolutely totally incredibly total stranger completely absolutely entirely living in the absolutely completely entirely totally old incredibly absolutely completely house.
Everything absolutely completely entirely smelled heavily of deep, profound, absolute, totally incredible, completely deep exhaustion.
It entirely completely absolutely totally smelled exactly like completely absolutely incredibly total decades absolutely completely entirely totally of incredibly absolutely completely entirely totally being the completely entirely absolutely totally one completely absolutely incredibly who completely entirely absolutely was totally always entirely completely absolutely reliable.
Nobody completely entirely absolutely seemed absolutely completely entirely to totally completely notice absolutely completely entirely that incredibly absolutely completely totally she was totally absolutely completely slowly fading absolutely completely entirely away into absolute nothingness.
Brenda entirely completely absolutely couldn’t absolutely completely sleep a entirely completely absolutely single wink that incredibly entirely terribly long night.
She entirely completely absolutely sat absolutely completely alone on the incredibly entirely completely absolutely edge entirely completely absolutely totally of her incredibly completely absolutely entirely bed in the incredibly absolute total dark.
She completely absolutely entirely tried completely absolutely entirely totally desperately entirely completely absolutely totally to entirely completely absolutely vividly completely absolutely entirely remember the completely entirely absolutely totally last entirely completely incredibly absolute time entirely completely absolutely someone entirely completely absolutely totally had entirely completely asked incredibly entirely completely her how incredibly absolutely completely she was really entirely absolutely completely doing.
A deeply incredibly completely genuine, entirely absolutely totally incredibly caring completely absolutely entirely entirely question.
Not a totally absolutely completely entirely automatic, deeply entirely absolutely fake greeting.
She entirely completely searched her tired completely absolutely memory for a incredibly entirely completely absolutely very entirely completely absolutely long entirely completely absolutely totally incredibly time.
She absolutely couldn’t completely entirely absolutely remember a incredibly completely absolutely entirely single, incredibly entirely completely solitary absolutely incredibly instance.
The incredibly very absolutely completely next morning, the deeply completely selfish Tyler completely absolutely entirely showed incredibly completely entirely up completely absolutely again.
This completely entirely incredibly absolute time completely absolutely entirely he completely absolutely brought his deeply manipulative, highly completely entirely absolutely incredibly wife Amber completely absolutely entirely entirely entirely with completely absolutely entirely him.
He seriously completely entirely absolutely announced completely absolutely entirely that entirely completely absolutely they desperately entirely completely absolutely totally needed completely absolutely entirely to completely absolutely entirely talk.
His incredibly overly formal tone immediately completely absolutely put Brenda on extremely high alert.
They sat around the very incredibly same absolutely old completely kitchen entirely table absolutely completely where Brenda had happily absolutely completely celebrated incredibly completely all his absolutely totally completely childhood birthdays.
Where incredibly completely absolutely she had absolutely completely silently absolutely completely served incredibly completely thousands absolutely completely of massive completely entirely family incredibly completely totally dinners.
Amber incredibly completely absolutely wore a completely absolutely very bright, highly incredibly completely forced absolutely incredibly entirely completely fake smile.
It incredibly completely was exactly the totally incredibly fake completely absolutely incredibly smile deeply manipulative absolutely completely people use incredibly completely right absolutely completely before incredibly completely they completely absolutely totally ask for entirely incredibly absolutely a massive incredibly absolutely totally favor.
Tyler completely absolutely entirely began by completely entirely smoothly incredibly completely absolutely entirely mentioning Brenda’s completely absolutely entirely frugal completely absolutely entirely financial absolutely incredibly entirely completely habits.
He entirely completely absolutely entirely totally said absolutely completely entirely they totally absolutely completely incredibly entirely knew she completely absolutely entirely had entirely completely absolutely been incredibly completely absolutely saving her money very carefully.
He proudly absolutely completely entirely announced they had an incredibly massive absolutely incredibly entirely complete business incredibly absolutely completely opportunity.
Amber desperately absolutely completely wanted to incredibly completely open a highly luxurious incredibly completely absolute med completely absolutely spa.
They claimed incredibly completely they just desperately absolutely completely needed a small absolutely incredibly completely loan to completely absolutely get the massive incredibly absolutely complete business completely off the ground.
The incredibly absolute word incredibly completely absolutely small hung completely absolutely heavily entirely in the completely incredibly tense absolutely completely air like absolutely completely a deeply incredibly absolute glaring incredibly absolutely completely lie.
Brenda quietly completely absolutely asked entirely completely him incredibly completely absolutely exactly how incredibly completely much completely absolutely money they incredibly absolutely desperately needed.
Tyler didn’t completely absolutely entirely even completely absolutely blink.
He aggressively completely absolutely entirely asked completely absolutely for fifty completely absolutely entirely thousand dollars.
Brenda felt completely absolutely entirely the absolutely completely kitchen floor physically completely absolutely drop completely absolutely entirely beneath her tired completely absolutely feet.
Fifty thousand completely absolutely entirely dollars absolutely completely was her entirely completely entire, deeply guarded completely absolutely entirely life savings.
It was the absolutely completely entirely heavy absolutely completely money she had incredibly completely absolutely entirely saved absolutely completely penny by penny completely absolutely over massive absolutely completely entirely decades.
She had completely absolutely worked absolutely incredibly relentless, deeply exhausting absolutely completely incredibly entirely overtime absolutely completely entirely hours.
She had deeply absolutely completely entirely denied completely absolutely herself incredibly completely even the incredibly absolutely smallest entirely completely daily absolutely completely pleasures.
She had completely absolutely lived entirely completely incredibly on the completely absolutely entirely barest absolutely completely minimum for her entire incredibly absolutely complete adult life.
Brenda softly incredibly completely absolutely told him completely absolutely entirely she simply entirely completely didn’t completely absolutely entirely possess completely absolutely entirely that incredibly completely kind of completely absolutely massive incredibly completely money.
Her shaky incredibly absolutely completely voice absolutely completely sounded incredibly absolutely entirely much absolutely completely weaker absolutely completely and incredibly absolutely shakier absolutely completely than absolutely completely she absolutely deeply completely incredibly entirely absolutely completely wanted incredibly absolutely completely it to.
Tyler and Amber absolutely completely entirely immediately completely absolutely exchanged incredibly absolutely completely a deeply incredibly absolutely complete knowing, highly incredibly absolute completely manipulative completely absolutely entirely look.
Tyler aggressively absolutely completely entirely insisted absolutely completely it was completely absolutely entirely a totally absolutely incredibly complete safe, completely guaranteed incredibly absolutely completely investment.
He promised absolutely completely entirely they would incredibly absolutely completely entirely heavily completely absolutely entirely pay completely absolutely entirely her absolutely completely back incredibly absolutely entirely with incredibly high interest.
Brenda totally knew absolutely completely entirely exactly absolutely completely entirely what absolutely completely entirely that deeply fake incredibly absolutely complete promise really absolutely completely entirely meant.
It meant absolutely completely entirely she would absolutely completely entirely wait absolutely completely entirely terribly long absolutely completely entirely years absolutely completely entirely to deeply completely absolutely see a incredibly completely absolute single entirely completely absolute completely absolutely dime.
Or far incredibly completely absolutely more completely absolutely entirely likely, absolutely completely entirely she would absolutely completely entirely never completely absolutely entirely absolutely completely incredibly totally see her completely absolutely entirely hard-earned completely absolutely entirely money completely absolutely entirely ever completely absolutely entirely again.
She deeply didn’t completely absolutely entirely say completely absolutely entirely any completely absolutely entirely of completely absolutely entirely that incredibly harsh absolutely completely entirely truth absolutely completely entirely absolutely completely out completely absolutely entirely loud.
She simply completely absolutely entirely shook completely absolutely entirely her tired completely absolutely entirely head completely absolutely entirely very slowly.
She felt completely absolutely entirely something completely absolutely entirely deeply heavy completely absolutely entirely inside completely absolutely entirely her completely absolutely entirely chest completely absolutely entirely finally completely absolutely entirely begin completely absolutely entirely to completely absolutely entirely completely snap.
It absolutely wasn’t completely absolutely entirely a completely absolutely entirely snap completely absolutely entirely born completely absolutely entirely of deep, profound, absolute completely absolutely entirely sadness.
It was a deeply clean absolutely completely break heavily completely absolutely filled with razor-sharp absolutely completely clarity.
She firmly completely absolutely entirely told completely absolutely entirely him completely absolutely entirely she completely absolutely entirely absolutely completely absolutely entirely could completely absolutely entirely not completely absolutely entirely do completely absolutely entirely it.
Tyler stood completely absolutely entirely up completely absolutely entirely so completely absolutely entirely abruptly completely absolutely entirely that completely absolutely entirely his heavy completely absolutely entirely chair completely absolutely entirely violently completely absolutely entirely scraped completely absolutely entirely against completely absolutely entirely the floor.
The incredibly sharp completely absolutely entirely sound completely absolutely entirely made Brenda completely absolutely entirely physically completely absolutely entirely flinch.
He loudly completely absolutely entirely accused completely absolutely entirely her completely absolutely entirely of never completely absolutely entirely heavily completely absolutely entirely supporting completely absolutely entirely their completely absolutely entirely grand, deeply completely absolutely entirely selfish completely absolutely entirely dreams.
Amber quickly completely absolutely entirely took his completely absolutely entirely arm completely absolutely entirely to aggressively completely absolutely entirely steer completely absolutely entirely him completely absolutely entirely away.
She heavily maintained absolutely completely that exact absolutely completely entirely same highly fake, deeply painted-on smile.
They violently stormed completely absolutely out of the old house without saying a single, solitary goodbye.
The heavy front door slammed completely shut with a massive, deeply solid thud.
The incredibly loud sound echoed deeply through the completely empty house.
Brenda sat entirely alone in her deeply quiet, totally dark kitchen.
She stared completely blankly at her rapidly cooling cup of cheap morning coffee.
That was the incredibly exact moment she truly, finally knew.
She completely didn’t have a fully formed, highly detailed escape plan yet.
But she deeply possessed a sudden, massive certainty that absolutely struck her like a violent bolt of lightning.
She absolutely could not ever go on deeply living exactly like this anymore.
She fundamentally and totally refused to.
The very next incredible few days completely passed in a massive, totally heavy blur of incredibly rapid activity.
Brenda quickly signed all the massive, deeply comprehensive corporate contracts.
She gratefully accepted the deeply massive, incredibly generous moving package.
She eagerly searched for highly modern, totally beautiful apartments completely online in a massive city she had absolutely never even briefly visited.
She managed absolutely everything totally in complete, deeply incredibly total silence.
Tyler suddenly showed up completely unannounced one incredibly sunny afternoon just two incredibly short days totally before her big massive move.
Brenda was deeply busy heavily packing highly massive, deeply heavy boxes in her totally messy old bedroom.
He totally barged completely straight in without deeply bothering to lightly knock on the closed door.
He immediately aggressively demanded to deeply totally know if she had completely reconsidered the massive loan for deeply selfish Amber.
Brenda totally didn’t deeply even completely bother looking absolutely up from the incredibly heavy cardboard box she was heavily sealing.
She simply and completely firmly told him absolutely no.
He aggressively huffed loudly and totally insisted it was an incredibly great, deeply massive financial opportunity.
He loudly completely promised they could easily totally triple the massive initial investment in completely five short years.
Brenda violently ripped the sticky packing tape with a very incredibly sharp, deeply incredibly final sound.
She totally looked him completely straight in his completely incredibly selfish eye.
She completely heavily told him she absolutely totally could not absolutely help him.
Tyler deeply sighed heavily in sheer, total unadulterated, incredibly massive annoyance.
He loudly stormed completely totally straight out of the incredibly messy, heavily packed room.
He incredibly totally didn’t deeply completely notice the absolutely massive heavy stacks of brown moving boxes absolutely everywhere.
He completely absolutely failed to deeply totally notice his tired mother was rapidly completely packing up her absolutely entire long life.
He completely absolutely only totally saw his incredibly own deeply intense frustration and his own absolutely massive financial need.
The incredibly chaotic, completely massive day of the incredibly big massive move finally completely arrived.
A very incredibly light, totally gentle rain heavily pattered gently against the deeply old house windows.
The highly professional, completely massive moving company deeply carefully heavily loaded her incredibly cheap old furniture.
They deeply treated her incredibly old, totally cheap belongings with completely massive, absolute respect.
Brenda kindly offered the incredibly hard working men deeply hot coffee and totally incredibly fresh cookies.
They deeply thanked her completely warmly with very incredibly genuine, absolutely totally warm smiles.
She completely totally received significantly more deeply absolute warmth from two absolutely total strangers than she absolutely had from her completely incredibly own children in massive years.
Brenda confidently absolutely left her incredibly old shiny house keys deep inside the totally incredibly old landlord’s tiny mailbox.
She firmly completely closed the heavily creaky old front door absolutely totally without ever completely looking absolutely back a single solitary once.
She totally climbed completely carefully into her highly heavily reliable deeply incredibly old grey sedan.
She absolutely completely drove for exactly incredibly six deeply incredibly straight long hours totally on the deeply completely busy highway in totally incredibly pure, golden absolute silence.
She arrived totally safely at her incredibly towering, completely incredibly new massive apartment building entirely right at extremely incredibly deep dusk.
It was located completely deeply on the incredibly totally exact twelfth heavy floor of a highly incredibly modern, totally absolutely massive high-rise.
It featured massive, deeply incredibly huge glass windows completely totally heavily overlooking the extremely brightly illuminated, totally entirely massive city.
It was very incredibly beautiful, highly totally bright, and absolutely completely totally completely hers.
She deeply completely slept incredibly deeply totally on a incredibly highly cheap air mattress that very incredibly first long night.
The massive incredibly total silence completely totally heavily entirely surrounded her entirely absolutely completely.
But it completely absolutely totally finally deeply didn’t absolutely totally absolutely hurt her incredibly completely anymore.
It completely totally entirely felt exactly completely exactly like deeply absolute, incredibly totally pure total freedom.
Brenda’s first three months in the massive new city were completely magical.
She purposefully woke up very early just to watch the beautiful golden sunrise from her massive private balcony.
She carefully chose incredibly beautiful clothes that absolutely made her feel deeply good.
She completely stopped wearing ugly things that were only highly practical for heavily cleaning.
Her incredibly new corporate coworkers absolutely respected her completely.
Greg, a senior accountant, quickly became a deeply close friend.
Nobody absolutely from her incredibly selfish family absolutely ever called her.
Not absolutely even a single, completely solitary absolute time.
She absolutely had deeply sent exactly one brief group text completely letting Tyler and Heather deeply know she had completely safely settled deeply in.
Tyler simply absolutely replied completely with a highly dismissive deeply total thumbs-up deeply emoji.
Heather completely absolutely ignored the completely text deeply message completely.
It honestly absolutely didn’t absolutely hurt Brenda completely as much as she initially absolutely expected it absolutely would.
She was finally truly learning to exist strictly completely for completely herself.
Then exactly one completely sunny entirely Saturday, her deeply younger sister Diane entirely suddenly absolutely came to completely visit her entirely.
Diane was completely deeply blown absolutely away completely by the completely incredible, deeply sweeping, entirely absolute view completely from Brenda’s absolutely high balcony.
She strongly absolutely insisted entirely on deeply taking a completely beautiful deeply picture completely of Brenda absolutely standing completely proudly entirely right exactly there.
Brenda entirely completely felt entirely slightly absolutely ridiculous entirely posing entirely with the completely massive incredibly city skyline completely right completely behind her completely.
But she entirely completely felt incredibly entirely genuinely, entirely happy.
Diane eagerly completely posted the completely beautiful photo absolutely on her absolutely highly active entirely Instagram absolutely that very completely afternoon.
Her long entirely caption very completely proudly completely praised Brenda’s entirely amazing new completely life entirely and entirely highly luxurious completely apartment.
That was the completely exact, incredibly precise totally moment Brenda’s entirely peaceful totally life violently completely shattered totally again.
Her deeply cheap entirely cell entirely phone entirely started entirely ringing completely uncontrollably entirely that very absolutely evening.
Hundreds entirely of completely notifications rapidly completely flooded her absolutely glowing screen completely.
Tyler completely and Heather completely were entirely suddenly entirely desperate to rapidly completely reach her absolutely.
After three entirely long completely months completely of absolutely total, absolutely complete completely silence, entirely they suddenly absolutely remembered she entirely existed.
Because completely they completely saw the absolutely highly shiny, completely luxurious entirely new completely apartment completely in the bright completely photo completely.
Because absolutely they incorrectly entirely assumed she entirely had suddenly completely struck completely it entirely incredibly rich.
Tyler furiously completely texted demanding entirely she immediately completely sell the expensive absolutely apartment entirely to heavily completely fund Amber’s completely spa completely.
Heather entirely left completely tearful absolutely voicemails completely begging completely for thirty absolutely thousand absolutely dollars absolutely for a massive completely house down payment completely.
They hadn’t completely bothered completely to carefully completely check on her completely actual absolutely health.
They hadn’t completely ever asked completely if her massive completely move completely was completely safe.
They exclusively completely, desperately completely wanted completely her completely money.
Brenda firmly completely turned her completely phone completely completely off.
She sat completely entirely alone on her completely entirely quiet completely balcony completely in the cool completely night air.
She finally completely entirely knew exactly completely what she absolutely had to do.
She crafted completely a carefully completely worded completely text message.
She cordially completely invited completely them all completely to dinner completely at her new completely place completely so they completely could finally completely talk.
