After two months away caring for my mom, I returned home, only to find a stranger—Sonya—walking
into my apartment with a key. She thought she was meeting “Michael,” her boyfriend, but it turned out
to be my husband’s brother, Nick, who’d been using Michael’s name and our place to impress her.
Michael and I were furious, but Sonya was ready for revenge. We lured Nick over with the promise of
lasagna. When he arrived, Sonya confronted him and threw water in his face. Nick admitted his
scheme, blaming dating expenses. Michael demanded Nick pay our rent and return Sonya’s gifts.
Defeated, Nick agreed. Sonya stayed for dinner, and we bonded over the chaos. It was a wild day, but
I got justice, a new friend, and a home-cooked meal. Honestly, I deserved a medal for not tossing Nick
out the window!
