Two Million for a Dress? You'll Regret That Bill

Two Million for a Dress? You'll Regret That Bill

I go to the boutique my son has invested in to pick up the gown I've ordered for a banquet. Just as I'm about to leave, the manager, Wendy Reed, stops me and says that I still owe them money. She pulls out the bill. I look down at it and see that the boutique is charging me 300 thousand dollars for their creativity, 500 thousand dollars for fabric therapy, and one million dollars for their chief designer's mental wellness. On top of other expenses, the price totals up to two million dollars. I laugh incredulously and send a message to my secretary. "Withdraw our funding from my son's company and this boutique!"

I Raised Him for 12 Years; He Sends Me His Wedding Bill

I Raised Him for 12 Years; He Sends Me His Wedding Bill

Evelyn Larson's nephew, Maxwell Larson, has been staying at my home for 12 years. On top of sponsoring everything he has in life, I even view him as my own son. Heck, I'm the one who paid the down payment for Maxwell's new family home. But on the night we're having a holiday dinner, he throws me a list in front of everyone. "Uncle Lawrence, I've already hashed out the details with my fiancee's family. We'll be giving her family 700 thousand dollars as a wedding gift. You've raised me for so many years, so you need to prepare this amount for me." I frown instantly. "Didn't I just settle your down payment for you? Besides, Tiffany's about to get married soon. I need to save some money for her own wedding gift." But Maxwell instantly smashes a plate out of anger. "Since she's marrying into another family, that means she's no longer a part of this family! Are you saying that you're willing to give your money to an outsider rather than your own nephew? "If you refuse to agree to my terms, I'll make Aunt Evelyn divorce you right now!" I turn to look at Evelyn out of instinct, only to see her pulling out a gift agreement that she has already drafted. "We don't need to prepare any wedding gifts for Tiffany, seeing as she's the one marrying into another family. Max, on the other hand, is the only son of the Larson family. You should give your money to him instead."

Luxury on the Company Dime: A Girlfriend's Bill and a Boss' Wrath

Luxury on the Company Dime: A Girlfriend's Bill and a Boss' Wrath

Under my parents' request, I work as the finance officer in my childhood friend, Julius Sanford's company. But the moment he goes on a business trip, the new intern, Lizzie Dalton, rushes into my office and demands that I process her reimbursements. As I stare at the pile of receipts that come from luxury stores, all I feel is shock. "Lizzie, I can only use the company's funds to reimburse business expenses. Why are you asking me for reimbursements when all you did was buy clothes and bags of your own?" But as soon as my words fall, Lizzie splashes a cup of coffee at me instantly. "I'm the lady boss of this company! The company's funds are my funds too! Don't think you can just reject my receipts just because you know my husband!" I do my best to suppress my fury as I dig out the company's policy and reiterate, "No, I seriously cannot do that. The company's cash flow must be reflected in the books." Seeing as I refuse to yield to her no matter what, Lizzie calls Julius on the phone and begins whining to him. "Babe, since when do I need to ask your childhood friend for approval if I want to buy something I like for myself? Or could it be that she's acting so assertively because you two are secretly having an affair?" Julius panics and tells Lizzie that he has nothing to do with me. After that, he quickly releases an announcement on the company group just so he can defend Lizzie. "Lizzie Dalton is my wife! She's the second boss of this company other than me!" After that, Julius tags me in the group. "Hey, finance! You're not my mom here! I don't like you, so please stay out of my private matters! "I'd like nothing more than to let my own wife spend my own money! If you don't like that, you can pack up and leave!" Once Julius makes his stance clear, I change my tune and reimburse Lizzie the expenses she's claimed. But one week later, Julius finds himself staring at the list of debts that's 33 feet long when he returns from his business trip.

La Tombe de Neige

La Tombe de Neige

Alors que j'étais enceinte de neuf mois, le premier amour de mon mari est venue s'installer chez nous sous un prétexte quelconque. Chaque fois qu'elle me voyait, elle se portait la poitrine, feignant une profonde tristesse. Mon mari était convaincu que je faisais exprès de montrer ma grossesse pour la provoquer. « Magali est trop fragile pour avoir des enfants ! Et toi, tu te balades tout le temps avec ton ventre bien visible devant elle, tu l'exaspères ! Sans une leçon, tu n'apprendras jamais ! » Puis, il a donné l'ordre qu'on me ferme dans un grenier abandonné depuis longtemps, interdisant à quiconque de m'apporter de la nourriture. J'ai supplié, lui expliquant que l'échographie montrait que les jumeaux que je portais étaient trop gros et que le médecin avait recommandé que je sois admise à l'hôpital immédiatement. Mais il a éclaté de rire, comme si c'était une blague. Sa voix était aussi froide que la glace : « Tu as encore trois jours avant ton terme ! Ne viens pas jouer la victime ! Va dans le grenier et réfléchis à ce que tu as fait ! Voilà le prix à payer pour avoir embêté Magali ! » Les contractions étaient tellement douloureuses que mes ongles se brisaient, mais personne n'est venue m'ouvrir. Mes cris déchirants résonnaient dans le grenier pendant un long moment. Finalement, je suis morte en couches, avec mes deux enfants, dans ce sombre grenier. Trois jours plus tard, mon mari, buvant une soupe qui ne lui plaisait pas, s'est souvenu enfin de moi. Il a dit : « Demande à Jade de venir me préparer une soupe, puis envoie-la présenter des excuses à Magali. Si elle est sincère, elle pourra aller à l'hôpital pour accoucher. » Personne n'a osé lui répondre, car le sang, qui s'était répandu du grenier, avait atteint la deuxième marche du palier…
