The Vanishing Allowance Chapter 10
To wipe out the remainder of the illegal debt, my parents had no choice but to sell our family's ancestral home.Decades of stability vanished overnight.Grandma had lived in that house her whole life. With the house gone, she had nowhere left to root herself, forcing all four of them to cram into a tiny rented apartment in the city.The loans were finally cleared, but my family was left completely bankrupt.Leo still hadn't given up. He asked Dad more than once if he could go back to college.Exhausted and broken from the debt, Dad blew up the second the topic came up."College?! With what money?!" Dad roared. "We sold our ancestral home for you! Go get a job and make your own living, stop ruining this family!"Through a personal connection, Dad managed to land Leo an entry-level factory job. The work was demanding and the pay was low, but it provided a steady income.Leo couldn't handle real work.He claimed he was going to work every morning, but he never actually check
The Vanishing Allowance Chapter 9
At the police station, Leo was still idiotically insisting that he gave her the money voluntarily and that Angela wasn't to blame.Mom had already been suffocating from days of anger and stress. This final shock sent her straight to the hospital with acute exhaustion.When Dad got back home from the station, his suppressed fury finally exploded. He showed no mercy and beat Leo black and blue.During my lunch break a few days later, I bought some fresh fruit and went to visit Mom in the hospital.The ward smelled heavily of disinfectant. Mom lay in bed, looking drawn and exhausted. The second I walked in, she got straight to the point."Chloe, look at the state of our family. This $250,000 debt is crushing us. You must have some savings saved up. Take it out and help your brother clear his debt."I set the fruit basket on the bedside table, keeping my voice calm."I can't give you that money. Leo got into this debt because he lost his mind trying to impress a girl. It has nothing

My temples throbbed with a violent pulse. "And the other hundred thousand?""Well, since she was my girlfriend, I gave the rest to her to hold onto," he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.I literally laughed out loud from pure outrage.Mr. Davis shook his head, caught between anger and pity. "How could you be so gullible? She took every single cent, but every drop of that debt is legally tied to your name."Leo snapped his head up, his eyes bloodshot. He lunged forward and grabbed my arm, begging desperately."Chloe, save me! Please, just give me some cash to pay off the loans! If Mom and Dad find out, I'm completely dead!"I yanked my arm out of his grip, completely unmoved.This wasn't my hole to fill. I had zero obligation to pay for his stupidity."I don't have money to pay your debts."Ignoring his desperate look, I pulled out my phone and dialed Dad, laying out every single fact without holding back."You need to get to the campus right now. Leo to

Not a single person offered me a real, sincere apology.They knew they had wronged me, but in their eyes, family meant swallowing your pride and taking the hit.I stopped expecting them to find a conscience. Getting the bare minimum was enough.Without wasting another glance at their conflicted faces, I turned, walked into my bedroom, and slammed the door shut.Outside, Dad’s explosive scolding continued to ring out, punctuated by Grandma's endless, heavy sighs.True to his word, Dad transferred the exact amount for my laptop repair the next day. But he didn't give Leo a single extra dime for his monthly allowance.The family had clearly decided to punish him, hoping to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget.As I was heading out for work the following morning, Leo blocked the front door, cutting me off.His face was still bruised, but the delusional fantasy in his eyes hadn't faded one bit."Chloe, can you please transfer me some cash?" he begged, standing right in front of th

Grandma kept muttering in the back seat, cursing Angela Zach for being manipulative while desperately making excuses for Leo."Young boys are just naive," she whined. "A pretty girl bats her eyelashes, and they lose their minds..."Leo sat with his swollen face buried in his hands, completely silent.Mom remained rigid in the passenger seat, stealing awkward glances at me in the rearview mirror.Dad was fuming, taking all his anger out on Leo. Every few minutes, he would bark, "Do you have rocks in your head?!"The second we walked through the front door and flipped on the lights, Dad slammed himself onto the couch and pointed a finger right at Leo's face."Ten grand a month! She isn't even your girlfriend, and you willingly handed over nine thousand?!"We break our backs to pay for your college, and you use our money to play sugar daddy?!"Leo flinched, muttering under his breath, "I'm the victim here too...""You have the nerve to talk back?!" Dad raised his hand again, but

Right below each $10,000 deposit, a recurring auto-debit of $9,000 went out just minutes later.The recipient's name was printed in black and white.[Angela Zach.]My parents hovered over the screen, their eyes shrinking in total bewilderment."Angela Zach? Who the hell is that?!"Leo had been standing there acting smug and entitled, but the second he heard that name, every drop of color drained from his face. He scrambled forward, trying to grab my phone.Grandma hurried to her feet, dusting off her trousers as she pushed her way into the center."Angela Zach?! Is she a friend of yours, Chloe? Did you team up with some outsider to steal your brother's money?!"I let out a cold laugh and glanced up at Leo, who was practically squirming in his skin."Ask him. He knows her very well."Every head snapped toward Leo.His eyes darted around the store, his fingers frantically pulling at his shirt hem. He stammered for a while before squeezing out a response."I... I know her."D
