00:12he shoved me into the living room that's my family kate and mia are driving a family car
00:19what gives you the right to catch an attitude apologize now my dog whimpered at my feet
00:25my sister-in-law kate hurried her son into his room she sauntered back out dangling my car keys before
00:31tossing them onto the table like trash maybe if you weren't so useless and actually gave this family
00:36an heir i wouldn't have to be the one hauling marson to school he's the priority what does a
00:43childless woman like you need a mercedes for anyway five minutes ago i saw my mercedes in the garage
00:48my parents wedding gift to save me from the subway now it was caked in dried mud and bird droppings
00:53covered in deep gouges two weeks ago mia borrowed it for a road trip she didn't even say thank you
00:59she just complained the gas mileage was trash i posted the damage and demanded they pay for repairs
01:06this slap was jason's answer i spat blood onto the floor and looked at these leeches
01:13i had never been hit in my entire life jason what gave you the right to hit me
01:19jason looking as nonchalant as if nothing had happened i'm asking you we were talking why did
01:26you hit me what are you trying to prove don't you know posting those photos in the group who are
01:33you
01:33trying to embarrass my car is filthy scratched and dented and am i not even allowed to ask about it
01:38my parents bought that for me i won't let your family trash it jason scoffed like he had just heard
01:45a joke let me tell you something you married me you belong to the davis family now that means your
01:52things belong to the davis family too so what if my family drives it even if they total it it's
01:56our
01:57family's business who gave you the nerve to point fingers i've been too nice to you haven't i
02:02what do you mean point fingers that car car is a premarital asset my parents paid for it
02:09how is it suddenly your family's property i gave you an inch and you took a mile
02:13nobody wants to hear your legal nonsense i took a mile get your facts straight did i tell your family
02:18to treat my my car like a dempster did i tell them to crash it not say a damn word
02:27all right that's enough eve is just being immature a harsh word is enough there's no need to get
02:34physical over family matters i don't mean to criticize you eve but you're overreacting it's
02:38just a car your office is close and taking the subway is so convenient i have to drive mason to
02:44school every day rain or shine you barely use it anyway why don't you just officially give it to me
02:48that way you won't have to stress over it my heart turning to ice why exactly should my car belong
02:54to you because you married into the davis family whatever you bring in belongs to all of us and
03:00because i gave the davis family a grandson you've been married for years and your stomach is completely
03:07flat you can't even produce a girl you're probably barren suddenly everything made perfect sense
03:15oh i see so in your eyes a woman is just a breeding tool you popped out a kid so
03:20now you're
03:20entitled to steal my property
03:25enough the neighbors can hear you screaming it's just a damn car from now on kate gets the car it
03:33makes picking up mason easier i've made the decision did you hear that dad made the call the car is
03:40mine
03:40now if you argue you're disrespecting dad with that she marched into her bedroom
03:47arthur i brought that car into this marriage my parents paid for it legally and morally it is my
03:54sole property you think you can just hand it over with one sentence do you really think that's how
03:59the law works i didn't say you couldn't use it arthur sat back down taking a slow sip of his
04:05water
04:05kate taking the boy to school is a real necessity your office is a few blocks away you take the
04:11subway for 10 minutes and you're there why hoard the car i almost laughed at the absurdity my office
04:17was a 15 minute walk from the subway station plus a 10 minute walk on the other end mason's
04:22kindergarten was literally two streets behind our apartment complex initially i only lent her the car
04:28because i felt bad watching her ride an e-bike in the winter but occasionally turned into always
04:33borrowing became a hostile takeover my own kindness had brought me to this pathetic state
04:38but i was done playing nice you bunch of leeches can drop the fantasy right now my car is never
04:45going
04:45to belong to anyone else are you rebelling you don't get to call the shots in this house my word
04:56is law
04:57i try to be nice to you and you dare talk back to me don't get worked up old man
05:03it's not worth it
05:04don't lower yourself to her level jason stepped between me and his parents are you done acting
05:09crazy let me make this clear if you give my dad a heart attack i swear to god i will
05:14end you
05:15i didn't spare another glance at jason or his oscar-worthy parents i turned and walked straight
05:20into the master bedroom behind me i heard martha say just leave her be jason let her throw her little
05:27fit if she's got the guts she won't come out for dinner starve her for a few days and she'll
05:33figure
05:33out her place once her head clears she'll behave i immediately started packing my clothes and personal
05:40belongings outside the door they were chatting and laughing probably assuming i'd come crawling back
05:45to apologize by morning they were dead wrong their easy ride was officially over
05:52while i was washing my face in the bathroom martha was in the living room on the phone
05:56did you see the pictures your sister-in-law posted she thinks she's royalty just because she owns a car
06:02i have plans to go hiking with my friends this weekend if she doesn't let me drive it i'm gonna
06:07look
06:07like an idiot why do you even care about her that car hasn't been hers for a long time it's
06:13kate's now
06:14if you want to use it just ask kate she's reasonable kate is the best unlike some people
06:21who treat a piece of metal like it's a priceless artifact like anyone cares she's just new punny
06:26with no class you're interning at a fortune 500 company mia you have a bright future soon you'll be
06:33driving a car way better than her junk piece she's just petty don't lower yourself to her level
06:39mia's fortune 500 internship did they really not know or were they just playing dumb just six months
06:46ago i had swallowed my pride and begged an old college alumni who was a middle manager at that
06:50company to give her a shot later my friend privately complained to me he said mia was entirely
06:56incompetent not only did she refuse to do actual work but she spent all her time trying to flirt with
07:02the senior male executives she was constantly bringing them coffee and acting overly familiar making
07:07herself the laughing stock of the office i had actually defended her she's just young and naive
07:13give her time to learn but listening to the sheer contempt radiating from the phone i realized how
07:18pathetic i had been i used to harbor the illusion that if i just compromised a little more i could
07:23earn their genuine affection now i knew the truth my phone buzzed
07:30the caller id showed the name of a used car broker i stepped into my bedroom miss miller i have
07:37a buyer
07:37very interested in your ride they need a car immediately however you're asking price of
07:43150 000 is a bit steep especially since you mentioned there's some cosmetic damage is there room
07:49for negotiation if so we can close the deal today i'll drop it to 130 000 the buyer handles the
07:56repairs
07:57but i have one condition we meet at the dmv first thing tomorrow morning to transfer the title
08:02and i want a full cash offer 130 000 and they handle the repairs that's a steal i'll call the
08:08buyer right now i'm sure he'll take it you're very decisive miss miller keep the transactions strictly
08:13confidential especially from my family i'll have all the paperwork ready by tonight see you at 9 a.m at
08:20the dmv you have my word discretion is our policy i'll personally walk you through the paperwork
08:27tomorrow before the sun even came up i rolled my suitcase out of the bedroom the door to the
08:34master bedroom was ajar sure enough martha had been woken up by the noise what the hell are you doing
08:40at this ungodly hour making all this racket are you trying to wake the dead i didn't even grant her
08:46glance as i slipped into my shoes i'm talking to you are you deaf you have zero upbringing
08:53i opened the front door and stepped out just as the door was closing behind me i heard her scream
09:02get the hell out and don't bother coming back you ungrateful bitch you were never good enough for
09:07the davis family anyway as the elevator descended i caught my reflection in the mirror doors good
09:13enough that's not for you to decide anymore walking out of the building i pulled out my phone and
09:22texted my landlord hey sarah thanks for everything i won't be renewing my lease next month you can keep
09:29the security deposit to cover the early termination fee and cleaning costs before we got married jason
09:34promised we have our own home he swore he'd buy me a beautiful house instead after the wedding his
09:40entire family migrated into this apartment a place i was renting naturally the rent was paid exclusively
09:46from my paycheck they lived in the apartment i paid for drove the car my parents bought me and
09:51somehow still acted like i owed them my life it was a psychotic level of entitlement i hadn't seen it
09:56clearly before but i wouldn't have to deal with it ever again i walked over to my parking spot unlocked
10:01the car with my spare key and drove it straight to an auto detailer once the car was washed the
10:06deep
10:07scratch on the door looked even more glaring my phone rang it was the broker hello mrs miller the
10:13buyer is already at the dmv waiting for you can you head over now i'm on my way
10:20after hanging up i quickly checked the family group chat it had blown up the latest message was from
10:26kate where is our car i swear i parked it right here last night she attached a photo of the
10:32empty
10:32parking spot watching their pathetic frantic performance i simply exited the group chat
10:37muted my phone and tossed it into my purse the paperwork at the dmv went smoothly after a quick
10:43inspection the buyer nodded mrs miller the engine and interior are in great shape these cosmetic
10:48scratches are an easy fix the price is very fair the cashier's check is inside full amount feel free
10:54to verify it that won't be necessary i trust you and i trust the people i choose to do business

11:14urgent personal matters to attend to i booked a clean quiet hotel room near my office the next day

11:26situation absolutely this is clear-cut domestic violence we have ample grounds for a fault-based
11:32divorce we can also file for a restraining order if he tries to harass you right as we were speaking

14:44two days later i was at my desk at the office organizing some data files when the glass door
14:50swung open two police officers walked in the entire office went dead silent we're looking for
14:56evelyn miller that's me is there a problem officers officers she stole our car no no we have security
15:06footage from the apartment complex it clearly shows her driving it away early in the morning
15:14eve stop this comb with us right now hand over the money from the car sale and we'll forgive you
15:19for this i felt my face flush not from the fading bruise the vehicle in question is my sole personal
15:26property it was purchased fully in cash by my parents prior to my marriage and the title was
15:31registered exclusively under my name i drove it away using my spare key the vehicle was legally sold and
15:37the title transferred at the dmv two days ago all the documentation is on record you claim the vehicle
15:43belonged to your family do you have any proof of ownership whose name was on the title she married
15:50into our family of course the car belongs to us whatever she owns is ours is that so hard to
15:55understand officers she's my wife in a marriage assets are shared she sold a major asset without my
16:04consent that has to be illegal right you need to talk some sense into her what do you think the
16:11police
16:11do you think we're marriage counselors you filed a false report for a stolen vehicle
16:21do you understand that wasting police resources is a crime martha's bravado instantly deflated but she
16:28still tried to argue maybe you made a mistake but if she hadn't acted like a thief would we have
16:32called
16:33you just arrest her she started all this i had reached my absolute limit
16:39officers i'm sorry you were dragged out here for this i think the situation is clear
16:45i am at my place of employment and these people are causing a disturbance
16:49could you please escort them out we will handle this the situation is clear this is a civil matter
16:56and we have no jurisdiction over property disputes but you are not allowed to harass her at her
17:02workplace miss miller if they return call 9-1-1 immediately and they will be arrested for
17:08trespassing officers you can't just let her get away with this she's clearly in the wrong
17:13jason grabbed his mother's arm finally realizing they were inches away from being put in handcuffs
17:19bitch the venom in his voice was palpable the younger officer shot him a warning glare
17:24and jason immediately shut his mouth pulling martha out of the office in disgrace
17:31the peace lasted exactly two days i was in my hotel room packing my bags when someone pounded on
17:37the door i found two different police officers standing in the hallway followed by a massive crowd
17:41it was jason arthur martha kate holding mason and mia every single one of them was carrying duffel
17:48bags and suitcases they looked like they were moving in the officer held up his badge
17:56are you evelyn miller your husband jason davis reported you missing for over 48 hours before
18:02i could even get a word out kate shoved past the officers with mason on her hip and a massive
18:06ikea bag slung over her shoulder oh okay oh thank god we found you we were worried sick thank you
18:14so
18:14much officers the moment she crossed the threshold she started evaluating the hotel suite the living
18:19area the bedroom the balcony she looked like a real estate agent inspecting a property no wonder
18:26you didn't want to come home look at you living in luxury a massive suite all to yourself you really
18:33know how to enjoy life don't you mia and martha squeezed past the cops as if they were invisible
18:39mia pointed at the primary bedroom mom i want this room it has the best lighting it's perfect for me
18:46of course sweetheart you have great taste the best room is yours
18:53kate wasn't about to lose out mason and i will take this one it's closer to the bathroom perfect for
19:00when he needs to go at night the two officers stood in the doorway completely baffled by the
19:05sheer audacity unfolding before them one of them turned to me ma'am who are these people are you
19:11sure this man is your husband because this does not look like a missing person situation jason quickly
19:17stepped forward putting on his best concerned husband face thank you officers yes i'm her husband
19:24i'm just so relieved she's safe i was terrified something happened to her watching him feign concern
19:30made my stomach churn i looked at the officers i am not a missing person i have been staying at
19:36this hotel for days all under my own credit card i went to the dmv i went to work i
19:41am currently in
19:42the middle of filing for a divorce from this man he filed a false missing person report to use the
19:47police to track down my location officers you have to listen to me i genuinely couldn't find her
19:54her phone was off she wouldn't answer anyone i was genuinely concerned for her safety how is that a
19:59false report martha spat on the carpet worried about you we wished you died in a ditch you vindictive
20:08bitch you canceled the lease and told the landlord to kick us out if it weren't for that the davis
20:13family wouldn't have wasted a second looking for trash like you you think we want to be in this
20:17overpriced hotel you couldn't pay me to stay here you're a disgrace to our family kate put on a fake
20:24patronizing smile and reached for my arm eve let me give you some advice when a woman gets married
20:29she needs to act like a wife running away from home and disrespecting your in-laws over a tiny
20:36disiscurient is not how a good woman behaves the officers had seen enough their expressions shifted
20:42from confusion to deep irritation but before they could act arthur wandered out of the kitchenette
20:47he had poured himself a cup of the complimentary dark roast coffee he took a sip made a face of
20:53utter
20:53disgust and spat it right back into the mug this american slub tastes like dirty dishwater you have
20:58absolutely no taste go down to whole foods right now and buy me some premium imported loose leaf tea
21:04the expensive kind suddenly a voice roared from the hallway get your hands off my daughter
21:12jason my dad burst through the door chest heaving his face red with fury he had sprinted up the stairs
21:19these are the parasites that have been leeching off my daughter that animal beat her the handprint is
21:26barely faded she's divorcing him because he's an abusive piece of garbage oh mr miller you need to
21:35control your daughter look at how she's torturing our family she's tearing a happy home apart over
21:44nothing the older officer turned a hard glare on jason is that true did you assault her it was just
21:51a
21:51heated argument i lost control for a second and slapped her just once officers we normally have a
21:57great relationship it was a one-time thing a slap is domestic violence period you couldn't reach her so
22:03you filed a missing person report to exploit police resources to track down your victim do you understand
22:08the severity of what you've done officers i swear i didn't know where she was please don't arrest me
22:13i won't cause any more trouble i promise i'm not arresting you today but you and your entire family
22:20are gonna pack up your bags and leave this room immediately you are trespassing you can't do that
22:30she is my daughter-in-law we are family it is completely legal for us to stay in her hotel
22:38room
22:38fine if you won't leave i will as we passed through the living area i caught mia shoving my
22:45three hundred dollar la mare face cream into her purse muttering i always wanted to try this brand
22:50without a word i snatched the jar right out of her hands i then pulled my expensive airpods out of
22:55mason's mouth where he had been chewing on them as for the coffee arthur spat in i left it
23:01we're leaving marrying into this family was the worst mistake of your life eve but it ends today
23:06where do you think you're going you owe us we let you eat our food and live in our home
23:12and this is
23:12how you repay us pay the hotel bill before you go so you don't burden us my dad looked like
23:17he was
23:17going to explode you want her to pay for your hotel stay how about you pay her back for the
23:24car you
23:25destroyed first because she sold the car i had to take ubers to work i didn't pass my internship
23:31probation and i got fired she owes me compensation for my lost income and mason caught a cold because
23:37i had to ride my e-bike in the wind i want you to pay his medical bills enough are
23:46you people
23:46completely delusional does this woman owe you her life just because she married your son you didn't fail
23:53your probation because of ubers you failed because you spent your entire day flirting with senior
23:58executives who were disgusted by you my alumni friend who got you the job was so humiliated he
24:03almost cut ties with me entirely what do you know you're just a corporate drone who never got promoted
24:09you're a loser i ignored her completely and pulled my suitcase toward the door the officer stepped in
24:16physically blocking the davis family from following me the subject has been located and is safe
24:22if you continue to harass her you will all be arrested for stalking and harassment she is my
24:27daughter-in-law she's abandoning us in this hotel without paying the bill if you're gonna stop me from
24:32making her pay then you pay for the room ma'am if you don't leave this property right now i'll
24:38be happy
24:39to offer you a free room down at the county jail after that pathetic standoff they didn't dare try to
24:45follow me the threat of jail time from the officers finally terrified them into submission besides the
24:51hotel was three hundred dollars a night their sheer entitlement couldn't magically produce the funds to
24:56stay there by then jason had been fired from his job he had coasted for years using my salary to
25:02maintain the illusion that he was the breadwinner when he tried to use my debit card to put down a
25:06deposit on a new apartment he found the account completely frozen his credit cards were maxed out
25:12his phone flooded with calls from debt collectors he sent out dozens of resumes but as a middle-aged
25:17man with a massive gap in his employment history nobody wanted him he eventually had to settle for
25:22a low-level data entry job at a tiny logistics company making a fraction of his old salary arthur
25:27and martha showed him zero sympathy every night at the dinner table they berated him for being a
25:32failure and demanded he go beg that ungrateful bitch to come back and fund their lifestyle
25:36mia completely unemployable resorted to becoming a twitch streamer she wore tight revealing tank tops
25:43and spent her nights begging the camera
25:47hey boys don't forget to subscribe drop some tips for your favorite girl she barely made a dime
25:53mostly she just endured crude degrading comments from anonymous men it was humiliating but it was the
25:59only way she could afford her phone bill all six of them were now crammed into a tiny rendown
26:04two-bedroom apartment in a bad neighborhood the air was thick with constant suffocating resentment
26:10kate curious of having to watch mia parade around the living room and practically nothing
26:14finally snapped mia put some clothes on mason is in the room you're gonna traumatize my son
26:23stressed about her lack of viewers mia exploded you're just an outsider who the hell do you think
26:29you are if you don't like it get the fuck out my brother pays the rent this is a davis
26:36household you
26:37don't get to give orders here kate grabbed mason threatening to leave but martha immediately blocked
26:42the door you can pack your bags and get the hell out but the davis family grandson stays here trapped
26:50in
26:50a room filled with monsters kate realized she had nowhere to go in that tiny claustrophobic apartment the
26:56background noise was a constant symphony of crying children screaming matches over unpaid utility bills
27:01and vicious insults they would never know a day of peace again the last time i saw jason was on
27:06the
27:06steps of the county courthouse it was the final mediation before the divorce was finalized in just a few
27:12months he looked like he had aged 10 years his hair was thinning and graying and his cheap suit hung
27:17loosely on his frame he blocked my path his eyes filled with desperate regret are you really gonna do this
27:24does our time together mean absolutely nothing to you aren't you taking this a little too far
27:29i stopped looked him up and down and smiled a genuine radiant smile no i'm not because my real life
27:37is finally starting and the best part is you won't be in it
27:44you
