Vindicated


He made her comfortable in his little office. 

Trusting him and respecting him, she poured her heart out. 

A few days later, when she saw the contents of the brown envelope, she felt betrayed. Realization hit her right between the eyes that the meeting with him the other day was all staged. Never once had she suspected that a hidden agenda had already been drawn up prior to the meeting. All that she had told him were exploited to the maximum and projected in a bad light. Her trust was broken. She felt completely betrayed. Victimised.

Despite that, she tried to reason with him. But he stuck to his guns and refused to accept any wrongdoing on his part. Due to the circumstance she was in, she could only watch helplessly as her life veered out of control.

A few months passed. She had moved to another city. She had become busy picking up the pieces and struggling to get some semblance of normalcy back in her life.

One day on a chance encounter with someone, by way of conversation she was told that the man was dead. And that he had collapsed suddenly and never recovered, all within days of sealing her fate. 

Divine justice had played its hand.

Her position: Vindicated.

  3. Sometimes retribution comes swiftly. Mostly it comes too slowly, though. Long after the victim has suffered hard.

    1. I agree with you Cynthia. I guess that's when it hurts the victim most.

  6. It does happen. It happened with our family. We struggled more specifically my mom suffered a lot mentally and physically because of a doctor whose treatment left her handicapped when I was 4 years old.She had 3 kids and no one to support except for my dad. We struggled but never gave up. She is very happy and content with her life now. Few years back we heard that the doctor lost both his children (One suicide and one accident) and then he committed suicide. I may sound very selfish but that news made be giddy with joy. He deserved it!
