I just wanted to spend a quiet weekend at my beach house. But my sister’s husband was already there with his entire family and shouted, “What is this parasite doing here? Get out right now.” I smiled and said, “Okay, I’m leaving.” But what happened next made him regret saying those words.

Captain Morales was still completely calm.

“Sir, this property belongs to Mrs. Valeria Cruz.

My wife is his sister!

“That doesn’t give you legal rights to the property.

At that moment I walked up.

The silence fell immediately.

Ricardo looked at me like he saw a ghost.

What the hell did you do?

I smiled calmly.

I just called the right people.

Camila quickly approached.

“Valeria, this is unnecessary.

“Unnecessary?”

“Yes. We could have talked.

I looked at her.

I tried to talk.

Nobody said anything.

Captain Morales stepped in.

“Mrs. Cruz, do you confirm that you want these people to leave the property?”

“Yes.

“They have ten minutes to collect their belongings,” the captain announced.

Ricardo’s family began to protest.

“This is crazy!

We drove five hours!

“This is humiliating!

Ricardo was red with fury.

“This is your fault!” he shouted.

I looked him straight in the eye.

“No. This is a consequence of your actions.

His mother stepped forward.

What a cruel woman!

I smiled.

“Curious. Twenty minutes ago I was the “parasite”.

That kept her quiet.

One by one they started collecting their things.

Suitcases.

Bags.

Portable fridges.

Shoes.

In less than fifteen minutes, fifteen people would leave my house with long faces.

Richard was the last.

He stopped in front of me.

“You’re not done with this.

I tilted my head slightly.

“You’re right.

His arrogant smile came back.

“Ah yes?”

“Yes.

I took out my phone and showed him the screen.

Your family damaged several things inside the house. My lawyer is already preparing a claim for damages.

His smile disappeared.

What?

“The carpets are stained, they smashed two glass glasses and someone scratched the dining table.

Captain Morales spoke in a neutral tone.

Everything has been documented.

Ricardo seemed ready to explode.
