They Canceled My Ticket I Canceled Them Chapter 31
A month later, the sale of the apartment closed.
Before moving out, Marcus went back one last time.
He sat on the floor of the empty living room, the tarnished necklace on the floor beside him.
The new owner would be taking possession that afternoon. He had only a few hours left.
Daniel called.
“The bank repossessed my car.”
Marcus said nothing.
“Did you hear me?” Daniel’s voice rose. “We guaranteed loans for *your* company, and now we’ve lost everything.”
“You signed your own name.”
“Because you said there was nothing wrong with the project!”
Marcus stared at the faint marks the furniture had left on the floor.
“You reviewed that project, too.”
There was silence on the other end of the line.
In the past, they had always been quick to find an absent party to blame.
First me, then the intern, then Madison.
But the court’s ruling, the server logs, and the loan guarantees with their own signatures were all there.
No one could erase their name.
Before hanging up, Daniel said one last thing.
“Stop looking for Elena. She isn’t coming back.”
Marcus sat holding the phone for a long time.
