Phoebe had always taken pride in her modest home, a place she worked hard to pay off over ten years. Though her sister Holly once felt like her closest friend, marriage and carefree living slowly created distance between them. Holly and her husband Nicholas had always chased adventure, often ignoring Phoebe’s warnings about responsibility. Still, nothing prepared Phoebe for the day she came home to find her sister’s entire family had moved in—without even asking.
Holly and Nicholas had sold their home to travel the world, claiming they’d homeschool their kids and live freely. At first, their social media was full of luxury and joy, but it quickly faded into silence. Their dream had clearly crumbled, but they never mentioned it to Phoebe. Instead, they turned up at her house, took over her space, and acted like it was theirs.
Shocked and furious, Phoebe tried to stay calm, but the audacity of their unannounced move-in pushed her to the edge. Just as she thought things couldn’t get worse, a knock at the door came—an eviction notice. Turns out, Holly had ignored debts and obligations, and now karma was delivering the bill. That same day, they were forced to pack up and leave.
Phoebe stood in her doorway, watching as the once-proud travelers scrambled to figure out their next move. She hadn’t lifted a finger—life had handled it for her. Though the betrayal stung, Phoebe couldn’t help but feel a small sense of justice. After years of being dismissed, her steady, grounded life had proven to be the one that held strong.
