\u201cYou\u2019re gonna say it\u2019s fake, right? Photoshopped? Go ahead then. Pull out your phone and show everyone you don\u2019t have all those deposit records!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s face turned bright red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right then, Dad\u2019s phone rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he hung up, his voice shook as he stared at me in complete disbelief. \u201cAva, did you sell the condo you bought for your mom?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe property management just called and said someone showed up to take possession of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t look at him. Instead, I turned to the judge. \u201cAm I free to go now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If it hadn\u2019t been for my professional instincts making me save screenshots of all those bank transfers over the years, I\u2019d probably be sitting in a jail cell right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, after the judge cleared me of all charges, I walked out without looking back. The whole messy abuse case was finally over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That weekend, I drove back home with the sales contract to finalize everything with the buyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second he saw me, he started complaining. \u201cMs. Henderson, you didn\u2019t warn me your family would be this difficult to deal with.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stayed calm and asked him to come with me to the condo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we got there, my entire family was camped out inside, literally sleeping on the floor like they were staging some kind of protest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Stella saw me, she went on the attack. \u201cThis is my\u2026 This is Mom\u2019s condo! Ava, if you sell it, you\u2019re the worst daughter ever!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mom clutched her chest like she was having a heart attack. \u201cI\u2019ve spent my whole life working toward this one bit of security, and now you\u2019re ripping it away from me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the mortgage wasn\u2019t fully paid off yet, I\u2019d already given the buyer a discount on the price. He was worried I might back out, so he wanted to sign the contract immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I completely ignored Mom and Stella and lifted my pen to sign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just as I was about to put pen to paper, Stella jumped up and waved the property deed in my face. \u201cSelling someone else\u2019s property is illegal! Think about how many years in prison you\u2019ll get!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I paused and looked at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The deed showed my sister\u2019s full name, Stella Henderson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned to Mom. \u201cSo this is what you promised me two days ago? That the property was in\u00a0<\/p>\n
your name?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The buyer wasn\u2019t happy either. \u201cMs. Henderson, so this place isn\u2019t even yours? What gives\u00a0<\/p>\n
the right to sell it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
