    Shane's shell companies collapsed overnight, leaving him buried under tens of millions in debt.Loan sharks smashed their way into the Shaw family home and stripped it of anything valuable, from furniture to antiques.Lena wasn't spared either.I gathered every piece of evidence showing how she'd abused her position over the years to secretly siphon money out of the company and handed it all over to the financial crimes unit.When officers led her out of the house in handcuffs, her hair was a mess, and she was sobbing hysterically, looking nothing like the polished woman she'd once been.Still, the most satisfying news came two weeks later.Theo had spent his entire life getting whatever he wanted, and he couldn't handle suddenly having nothing.He went to an illegal gambling den, borrowed money in hopes of winning it all back, and ended up clashing with one of the men sent to collect his debt.After years of thinking he could do whatever he pleased, Theo grabbed a beer bottle and stru

    It was Theo's eighteenth birthday, and I booked the top-floor ballroom at the most luxurious hotel in the city for his coming-of-age celebration.Shane wore a perfectly tailored suit, looking flushed with pride, almost like the successful businessman he'd once been.Lena stood beside him in an expensive gown, carrying herself as though she were already the lady of the house.Every one of our business associates, relatives, and friends had been invited. All around the ballroom, people whispered about the Shaw family's notoriously wayward heir."Thank you all for coming to celebrate my son's eighteenth birthday."I stood onstage with a microphone in hand, wearing a smile so bright it was almost unsettling."To celebrate Theo becoming an adult, I prepared a special video so we can all look back on his 'journey growing up.'"From the audience, Shane smiled and nodded at me.He still thought I was the same foolish woman who would swallow everything for the sake of keeping the family togethe

    The room went terrifyingly quiet. The only sound was Shane's heart pounding in his chest.I watched his face hover on the verge of collapse, and the corner of my mouth lifted slightly."Letting you off this easily would be far too kind, Shane."I want you to spend every minute of every day wondering when the truth would finally come out," I savored this thought. Then, without warning, I crumpled the birth certificate into a ball and tossed it into the trash."Forget it. It's just a piece of paper. Look how worked up you are."I turned to Shane with a knowing smile."Right, Shane? As long as the three of us are happy together, that's all that matters."Shane sagged against the wall as if his legs had given out. His clothes were soaked through with sweat.He stared at me, suspicion and deep unease written all over his face.He had no idea whether I'd seen the name on that birth certificate.And that uncertainty was exactly what would torment him most.Theo dropped out before he even fin

    Before long, Theo was in middle school.By then, he was so overweight that so fat he looked like the Michelin Man. He spent nearly every waking hour holed up in his room playing video games or scrolling through short videos.One afternoon, Shane stormed into the house like a raging bull.He was clutching several bank statements in one hand, his entire body shaking with anger."Theo Shaw! Get out here right now!"Shane kicked open Theo's bedroom door so hard that Theo jumped in his gaming chair."Two hundred thousand dollars! This little bastard spent two hundred thousand behind my back tipping some female streamer!"Shane roared as he charged forward and yanked Theo out of his chair.Then he tore off his belt and started lashing him with it.Smack! Smack!Each blow landed with a dull thud against Theo's heavy body.Theo screamed at the top of his lungs as he rolled across the floor. "Mom! Help me! This old man is trying to kill me!"I walked into the room in my heels, completely unhurr

    Four years passed in the blink of an eye.By the time Theo turned seven and was ready to start elementary school, my endless supply of fried chicken, burgers, and Coke had turned him into a 132-pound mountain of flesh.He could barely read or write, but he had mastered every curse word imaginable. At school, he turned in blank tests, gathered a group of kids around him, and even bullied classmates into giving him money.His teachers called Shane in more times than I could count, but every time, I showed up with either money or enough of a scene to make the problem go away.Eventually, even Lena, his biological mother, couldn't keep pretending everything was fine.Her eyes were constantly bloodshot with worry, and I had no idea how many times she'd secretly cried over what Theo had become.That weekend, Lena claimed she was taking Theo to an amusement park and picked him up herself.I checked the location on Theo's smartwatch and gave a cold laugh.An amusement park?His location clear

    With me indulging his every whim, Theo soon learned to do exactly as I said.Shane was the only one panicking. He pulled every string he could, desperate to get Theo into the best kindergarten in the city.On the first day of school, Shane even dressed him in a custom-made little suit."Theo, when you meet the principal, you need to be polite, okay?"Shane nervously rubbed his hands together, repeating the same warning over and over in the car.Theo only looked annoyed. He tugged at his bow tie and complained that it was choking him.While Shane got out to retrieve the gift from the trunk, I leaned close to Theo."Son, remember what Mom told you."You're the little prince of the Shaw family. Nobody gets to boss you around."And if that old man won't give you candy, throw as big a fit as you want. Whatever happens, Mom will handle it."Theo's sharp little eyes, inherited from Lena, lit up immediately.He lifted his chin proudly. "Got it!"The interview was held in the principal's spacio
