A few years ago, Marcus had convinced my aunt to retire from her job at the company, and she followed his advice. But since then, too many of his relatives had wormed their way into positions within the company, like pests. The business had begun to spiral downward.

This forced Sarah back into the workforce. After much effort, she finally regained control of the company’s finances, ensuring that the Zack family could no longer exploit it for financial gain.

Her actions quickly turned her into their enemy. They started badmouthing her to Marcus, driving a wedge between them and causing cracks to form in their relationship.

My aunt must have taken some money out of the company’s account to help me. Marcus discovered this and seized on it as a decisive blow against her.

Even though nothing came of it and the money was returned without a dime spent, it was enough for them to make an issue of it.

If they were to get a divorce, I feared that my mother’s terrible fate would befall my aunt too. I was certain Marcus would stop at nothing to bankrupt her or saddle her with the debt.

“Shush. You don’t need to shout. Raising your voice won’t fix anything,” I replied. “Let’s calm down, okay? I’ll call your mom.”
