Jane’s employers planned a lavish vacation and invited her along to care for their children, promising to cover all expenses. However, upon returning home, they unexpectedly demanded that she pay back the $1,000 for her plane ticket. Jane was taken aback but refused to accept this situation.
One day, Mrs. Smith called Jane into the living room. While tidying up the playroom, Jane felt uneasy about the request. Mrs. Smith, composed and stylish, informed Jane they needed to discuss the vacation expenses. Jane acknowledged the lovely trip but was shocked when Mrs. Smith demanded repayment for the tickets. She couldn’t believe her ears when Mrs. Smith insisted she pay back the money they had initially said would be covered.
Overwhelmed, Jane explained that she couldn’t afford it, as most of her salary went toward rent and her mother’s medical needs. Mr. Smith, uninterested in her situation, confirmed that Jane had one week to pay or the amount would be deducted from her wages.
That evening, Jane was furious. She realized the Smiths valued their reputation more than anything else and decided to use that against them. She created a fake email account and wrote a polite message detailing her experience, leaving enough clues to point back to the Smiths. She sent the email to influential people in their social circle.
Soon, rumors began to spread, damaging the Smiths’ reputation. Jane overheard Mrs. Smith discussing the situation, revealing her distress. At the school pick-up, other nannies asked Jane if the gossip was true, and she confirmed that the Smiths were indeed unkind.
Days later, Mrs. Smith hosted a ladies’ luncheon. Jane attended, knowing it was an opportunity to share more about Mrs. Smith’s behavior. While mingling, she complimented Mrs. Smith’s handbag, hinting at her tendency to borrow and never return items. This sparked more whispers among the guests.
The next day, Mrs. Smith’s friends began demanding their belongings back. Upset, Mrs. Smith confronted Jane during dinner, suspecting her involvement in the email. When Mr. Smith questioned her directly, Jane remained silent, leading to her dismissal.
After moving back home, Jane received a call from Mrs. Johnson, who had heard about her situation and offered her a job with better pay and conditions. Grateful and relieved, Jane accepted the offer. She hoped the Smiths felt the sting of betrayal for their treatment of her.
My husband threw all my paintings away. I decided to give him a real lesson now
When I discovered Tim had thrown away my paintings, it felt like a piece of my soul had been ripped away. Each stroke of paint, each color combination, each image on the canvas represented hours of joy, frustration, and fulfillment. But to him, they were nothing but “junk.”
A Moment of Realization
That evening, exhausted from work, I decided to revisit an old painting that I believed had more potential. The idea of reworking it filled me with a rare excitement. However, my anticipation turned to horror when I descended into the basement, only to find it empty. The walls were bare, the shelves clean, and my paintings—gone. I stood there in shock, a cold sense of loss washing over me. How could he do this? How could he erase a part of my life so carelessly?
Confrontation and Anger
I stormed upstairs, fury bubbling inside me. There he was, lounging on the couch, engrossed in a football game, a bag of chips in hand. “Tim! Where are my f***ing paintings?” I demanded, my voice shaking with rage.
He glanced at me nonchalantly and said, “Oh, honey, relax. You should be thanking me for taking out that junk.”
For Illustrative purpose only
His dismissive attitude was the final straw. I exploded in anger, yelling at him, but he remained unbothered, barely acknowledging my distress. It was clear he didn’t understand or care about the pain he’d caused.
The Plan for Revenge
As I stood there, seething, a plan began to form in my mind. If he could so casually discard something that meant so much to me, then he deserved a taste of his own medicine. I decided to retaliate in a way that would hit him where it hurt the most.
For Illustrative purpose only
The next day, I waited until Tim left for work. Fueled by a sense of righteous indignation, I methodically gathered all his cherished belongings—his prized football memorabilia, his vintage record collection, even his favorite recliner. I loaded everything into the back of my car and drove to the nearest charity shop. Watching the workers unload his precious items, I felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. Let’s see how he likes it, I thought.
