Jack seethed with rage when he saw his sister-in-law, Lina, arrive at a family gathering in the beloved dress of his late wife, Della. However, the real heartbreak came when Lina “accidentally” ruined the cherished garment right in front of him. Jack restrained his fury, yet fate has a way of ensuring justice is served in unexpected ways.

Six months have passed since Della’s death, and many days feel like an endless battle against the flood of memories. Today was shaping up to be one of those difficult days until karma decided to intervene in its own unpredictable manner.

But let me backtrack to last week.

The day was supposed to be joyous—a celebration of the 45th wedding anniversary of Della and Lina’s parents. Instead, it spiraled into a nightmare, leaving me wishing I had stayed home, mourning in solitude with a glass of whiskey for company.

I stood awkwardly in the corner of the living room, gripping a drink and doing my best to blend into the background.

The lively hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses felt distant, unable to mask the persistent ache in my chest. Every laugh, every cheer was a stark reminder that Della should have been here, dazzling everyone with her radiant smile.

Then, the unthinkable happened. The moment sent a chill through me, only to be followed by a surge of fiery anger.

Lina emerged at the top of the staircase, and in that instant, my world seemed to spin off its axis.

She was wearing the dress—Della’s engagement dress. It was the one I had given Della when I proposed, a soft and flowing design in a shade of blue that matched her eyes perfectly. The dress wasn’t just fabric; it was a symbol of our love, something Della had held dear for years.

Seeing it on Lina felt like a betrayal.

I froze, unable to process the sight before me. My grip on my glass tightened as Lina descended the stairs, a self-satisfied smirk curling her lips. She knew exactly what she was doing.

“Jack!” Lina’s voice rang out, syrupy and insincere. “Doesn’t this dress just fit the occasion perfectly?”

I opened my mouth, but no words emerged. How could I respond without making a scene? How could I speak without giving her exactly what she wanted?

Lina sauntered over, her eyes gleaming with delight at my visible discomfort. “What’s the matter, Jack? Cat got your tongue?”

I inhaled deeply, trying to steady myself. “That dress belonged to Della,” I finally managed to say, my voice low and edged with anger.

She laughed, a sharp, grating sound. “Oh, come on, Jack. She doesn’t need it anymore. Besides,” she leaned in closer, her voice a cruel whisper, “she isn’t here to stop me.”

Something inside me snapped. My long-simmering anger threatened to boil over when Lina suddenly gasped theatrically.

“Oh, no!” she exclaimed, her voice dripping with mock alarm.

In slow motion, I watched a splash of red wine spill across the delicate blue fabric. Lina’s eyes met mine, feigning innocence yet brimming with satisfaction.

“Oops,” she said, her tone saturated with false regret. “What a tragedy.”

I barely recall the rest of that day. Somehow, I kept my composure, refraining from causing a scene. But as I drove home that evening, gripping the steering wheel tightly, I knew something within me had shifted.

In the solitude of my home, I paced back and forth, haunted by memories of Della. Her laughter, her courage, and the way she had always stood firm against Lina’s manipulative antics filled my thoughts.

“I miss you so much, Del,” I whispered into the emptiness. “You always knew how to handle her.”

I could almost hear her steady, reassuring voice. “Don’t let her get under your skin, Jack. She’s not worth it.”

But this wasn’t just about me anymore. It was about respecting Della’s memory and refusing to let Lina tarnish the love we had shared.

As exhaustion overtook me and I collapsed onto the couch, a strange sense of calm enveloped me. I wouldn’t seek revenge; Della wouldn’t have wanted that. But I wouldn’t stand in the way of karma either.

It seemed the universe had noticed Lina’s behavior, and I felt it was only a matter of time before justice found her.

A few days later, as I aimlessly scrolled through social media, a post caught my attention. It was from Lina, and the drama practically leapt off the screen.

“My friends,” the post read, accompanied by a teary selfie of Lina with smudged mascara, “I was robbed! They took all my designer clothes. I’m devastated!”

I blinked, rereading the message.

A laugh bubbled up unexpectedly, rusty from disuse. Before I could fully process the absurdity, my phone rang, Lina’s name glaring on the screen.

“You’re a monster!” Lina’s voice shrieked as soon as I answered. “I know you did this! How dare you?”

Pulling the phone away from my ear, I waited for her tirade to end. When she paused for breath, I interjected. “Lina, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“My wardrobe! My clothes—all gone! This is revenge, isn’t it?”

I chuckled. “Lina, I hate to burst your bubble, but I’ve barely left my house. How exactly do you imagine I orchestrated this grand theft?”

Her indignant sputtering was almost amusing.

“Lina,” I continued, “I’m sorry for your loss, but maybe this is the universe balancing the scales.”

A sharp gasp was her only response before I hung up, feeling lighter than I had in months.

The next morning, an anonymous note appeared at my door. Its message was simple yet profound: “Don’t thank me.”
