Chapter 8 - The Driveway Ambush
By January 5th, the panic had mutated into unhinged fury.
Thomas and Evelyn, accompanied by their golden boy, Mark, drove their leased luxury SUV directly to Rachel's house. They aggressively pounded on her front door like feral animals.
When Rachel finally opened it, she looked completely relaxed, holding a warm mug of coffee.
"Rachel! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Thomas roared, trying to use his booming, authoritative voice to intimidate her. "You missed the mortgage payment! The bank is threatening foreclosure!"
Mark stepped up, looking furious in his navy suit jacket. "Yeah, and Mom's credit card declined when I tried to buy Chloe's ski trip tickets! You need to fix whatever glitch is happening with your bank right now!"
Rachel took a slow, calm sip of her coffee. She looked at the three arrogant, entitled people standing on her porch.
She didn't cower. The cinematic realism of her total restraint was infinitely more terrifying than any screaming match.
