Chapter 11

The second Larry said that, the livestream chat exploded on me."Dude's so jealous he's cursing his own mom? What is wrong with him?""He doesn't even count as human. He's straight-up garbage!"Larry had always been good at making me look like the bad guy. It was the same story as always—he twisted everything around, and with Joanna blindly taking his side, he usually got away with it.Sure enough, egged on by him, Joanna stared into the camera, disappointment written all over her face. "Callum, you've really crossed the line this time."Larry was practically glowing with glee at her reaction. He thought this would be just like every other time—me getting trampled while he sat back and enjoyed the show.But this time, I wouldn't let him succeed.I said coolly, "Slow down, Joanna. There are two presents. At least look at the other one before you say anything else."At that, she reached into the box and picked up the recorder.Something clearly clicked for Larry. He had a bad fe

Joanna's knees scraped open on impact. She shot the Johnsons a frosty look, rage boiling over as she snapped, "You pushed me? Your whole damn family's a bunch of ungrateful snakes!"All these years, for every holiday, I've been buying you top-shelf cigarettes and liquor, sending jewelry and supplements to your house like they were free. And now you're ganging up on me?

"Say one more word, and I'll rip your tongue out! You call us ungrateful, but do you think you're some saint? Callum and his mother treated you so well, and you stabbed them in the back. Not only did you betray Callum, but you couldn't even be bothered to sa

"I know I really messed up, but I swear I didn't mean to make your mom die. Larry totally fooled me. I'm only human, and everyone makes mistakes. Sure, I did something wrong, but you should at least give me the chance to make it right, shouldn't you?" Joanna pleaded."How can you just cut me out of your life without giving me a shot at redemption? For the sake of our five years together, can't we just let the past go and start over?"I pushed her away, my face blank. "We already broke up, Joanna. There's nothing left between us. And the past isn't something you can just erase. There's a life between us now, a death that will always be there. Thinking we can start over is nothing but a stupid fantasy. I've made myself very clear. Stop harassing me."But Joanna still wouldn't give up. "No, we can start over. I know you still care about me. Why else would you still be single? You just can't move on from me!"I was speechless and about to say something when a clear female voice sounded
