Tessy rushed towards me and pulled me into a hug. Painful tears stung my face as it trickled down. What on earth did I do to deserve such terrible luck? Michael and Lilian were probably leaving the best life, while I was here about to lose an organ.

8 pm on the same unfortunate day. I climbed up the stairs of the block of flats until I reached my block.
Darkness and cool air sprinkled in through the small, scrawny window at the end of the hallway. Dashing out of my house four days ago, I had neglected the light bulb outside my door.
My gaze fell on the paper stamped on my door. I ran my eye across it; it was an eviction notice.
A frustrated hiss escaped me as I pulled down the paper and crumpled it between my palms. Tossing to the floor, my eyes fell on a brown envelope lying peacefully.
I cocked my head as I observed it. I wasn’t expecting any package. Aside from Lilian and Tessy, I didn’t have anyone who would send me a package.
After picking up the envelope, I tore it open and pulled out the white paper in it. My jaws sagged as I read the content; I was sued for $500,000 for damages.
