There was a girl in my class, Nancy, who always bullied me and made sure I felt worthless. After high school, I moved far away and built a new life, leaving those painful memories behind. Everything was peaceful until my brother called one day, excitedly announcing his engagement. I was thrilled for him — until he told me his fiancée’s name. It was Nancy. I hoped she had changed, but deep down, I knew better.
At their engagement party, my fears were confirmed. Nancy spent the entire night making snide remarks about me, while my brother laughed along like nothing was wrong. It was like being back in high school, powerless and humiliated. That night, I decided if she wanted to play games, I’d play along — but on my terms.
The wedding day arrived, and Nancy smirked at me, asking, “Where’s your gift?” I smiled and said, “Oh, I didn’t forget. It’s special, expensive, and delivered right to your home.” Her eyes lit up with curiosity as she asked eagerly, “What is it?” I leaned in and whispered, “Something you’ll never forget.” She beamed, clearly thinking she was about to receive something extravagant.
When Nancy and my brother returned home from their honeymoon, they were greeted by the surprise of their lives — a massive delivery of trash bags filled with shredded paper and glitter, completely covering their living room. The message was clear: I may have been her victim once, but never again. It wasn’t about revenge — it was about reclaiming my power and making sure Nancy finally understood the cost of her cruelty.
