They Canceled My Ticket I Canceled Them Chapter 21
As the ruling was read, Marcus sat at the defense table, the strength seeming to drain from his body.
The company he had run for ten years was now left with no contracts to fulfill. The bankruptcy court later approved its liquidation.
To cover litigation costs and keep the company afloat, Daniel and Tyler had personally guaranteed loans using their own homes and cars as collateral. After the company defaulted, the lenders began foreclosure proceedings.
When I walked out of the courthouse, all four of them were waiting on the steps below.
For the first time in three years, the five of us were all in the same place.
“Elena Preston, are you satisfied now?”
Daniel’s eyes were bloodshot.
“You destroyed Marcus, and you destroyed us. We treated you like a sister.”
“A sister?”
I walked down the steps until I stood in front of him.
“Three years ago, I spent a month on a client proposal. You took my name off it and put Madison’s on as the lead designer. Did you treat me like a sister then?”
“Before Seattle, you canceled my flight without my permission. You made me guess the destination like it was some kind of test. Did you treat me like a sister then?”
Daniel opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Marcus stepped in front of me, his eyes unfocused.
