You thought I was nothing

27 Austin/ Marie

           So my week is up and it's now Friday. I was only able to come up with 60 million dollars. Even after selling off most of my houses and cars I am coming up short. So now I have no choice but to see if my parents will give me the money so I stay out of jail. I already know what they are going to say, but I have to try anyway. As I picked up my phone getting ready to call my mother I received a text from Marie's lawyer. Her lawyer is sending me a friendly reminder that today is my final day to repay what I owe or I will be arrested. Breaking out in a cold sweat I ran to the bathroom and got sick. After calming down I grabbed my phone and called my mom. After letting it ring until it went into her voicemail I hung up and dialed my dad. After a few rings my heart plummets as I once again hear the voice of my father saying to leave a message. So I left a message begging for one of them to call me back. Now I have to hope and pray that one of my parents will actually call me back or I am so screwed. Actually when I think about it, they haven't spoken to me since they informed me I was no longer the CEO and was being demoted. I know I disappointed them but I hope they can forgive me enough to help me out this time.
          As I sit at the dining room table drinking my coffee my phone rings. Without looking I answered it after one ring and immediately regretted not looking at the caller ID. Realizing that my day has officially turned into a pile of dog shit as I listen to the one person who I hate more than anything in this world. Hearing Amber's whining voice made my back teeth ache. Not wanting to listen to what she has to say I told her to lose my number. After blocking her on every social media I have and my phone. I sit and wait for my parents to call me back. After about three hours my phone finally rang and it was my dad. Picking up the phone I explained my situation to him and begged him for help. After I finished I waited for him to respond with my heart in my throat. Then my father told me I was just going to have to figure it out on my own. He continued to tell me I had created this mess and I have to pay the price for my own foolishness. Hearing this I had tears spring to my eyes. Even though I begged and pleaded for him to help me. He was resolute to not help me out of my situation. After being told to handle my shit myself one last time my father hung up on me. After hearing the click the tears I had tried to keep at bay flowed freely. Hanging my head in despair I sent a message to the lawyer that represents Marie. After explaining that I had only come up with 60 million I asked if we could fix this out side of the courts. He responded with a quick message stating he would speak with Marie and see what she had to say about this, and he would get back to me as soon as possible. After reading this all I could do now is pray that she would take pity on me and say we could work together to resolve this situation. But I have a feeling that my actions of the past are going to come and bite me in the ass. One lesson I have taken from all of this shit is not to look down on people and to treat people with respect no matter who they are. I mean I was married to a princess for God sake and here I thought she was some loser. When in reality she was of a higher social class than all of us combined. Now half of my friends are facing financial ruin or jail time. All because we thought she was a nobody. And it turns out she was an important somebody. Now I pray she can forgive me one last time

            After getting off the phone with Austin's father and having him beg me to please work with his son so he doesn't go to jail. I feel a headache coming on. I don't want to be lenient when it comes to that cheating scumbag. But I guess I can be kind one last time for the sake of his parents. But as I said to his father this is the last time he will ever have any kind of kindness from me. So I contacted the lawyer and told him to work out a contract that stated how long he has to pay back the company what he owes. And to make sure he understands that just because he isn't going to jail doesn't mean he is scot free. He will have to do community service as part of the agreement
See I know how much he looks down on those who have to pick up trash on the side of the road so why not let him see how it feels to be looked down on. It's time for him to get a true understanding of what it takes to earn a dollar. It was a lesson all my friends and I learned. Our parents all wanted to make sure we understood what it takes to earn money and make a living like every other person in the world. Just because our birth blessed us with a certain privilege we never took it for granted. After getting off the phone with the lawyer. I sit back and think about what is going to happen tomorrow. I am so excited for my parents to come here and to see them after so long. But for now I have to plan the next prank on that little shit stain named Daniel. That ass super glued my hands together last night when I slept. It took nana an hour to gete free. While that ass laughed with Lorenzo. So now I am planning my revenge on that ass and my dearest Lorenzo. Hopefully my parents don't mind seeing Danny with green hair tomorrow. Oh well I have to go to the store and get my supplies to exact my revenge. While at the store I see the one and only Amber. Stocking shelves in the baby isle of the pharmacy. Wow how the mighty have fallen. As I walked through the store my phone dings with a message from my lawyer telling me that Austin excepted the proposed contract with no issues. After reading that I go to put my phone away, only to hear the ding again and a smile spreads across my face as I see a message from Kevin. The message is to inform me that his mom is going crazy baking and to be ready for her to take over tomorrow as she loves a good old-fashioned barbecue. With a little laugh I tell him that sounds great and I look forward to seeing him and his mom tomorrow. After finding all the dye I need I head to the check out and leave the store. Now I have to get ready for my big prank and the get together tomorrow. I also made a notation in my phone to make sure Amber loses this job as well. That is one person who will never get an ounce of kindness from me.
