My wife and I had a quiet life with our 14-year-old daughter, Zoe — until 10 months ago, her brother Sammy showed up at our door with his 16-year-old twin daughters.
He had lost his house in a divorce, was deep in debt, and the twins, refusing to live with their mother, insisted on staying with him. He asked to stay with us “temporarily.”
Zoe is sweet, artistic, and loves music and sketchbooks.
But the twins quickly turned her world UPSIDE DOWN.
They barged into her room, took her clothes and makeup, ruined her sneakers, and teased her, calling her “spoiled.”
Every time she asked them to stop, they just laughed in her face.
Zoe came to me in tears, but to my wife, the twins were angels.
Sammy made it worse by whispering, “ZOE IS JUST JEALOUS… she just doesn’t know how to share.”
So my wife dismissed it as normal kid stuff.
The last straw was when Zoe, who had been saving for a laptop for 2 years and finally bought it, found it broken the very next day.
The twins smiled and denied any involvement, and Sammy said firmly: “MY GIRLS? They would never do that.”
That was enough.
I couldn’t stand it anymore. I told Zoe to act like nothing happened — just for five days — while I made a plan.
I wanted my wife to see the truth and finally realize how Sammy and his twins had been deceiving her.
Five days later, Sammy and his twins, unsuspecting, WALKED RIGHT INTO MY TRAP.
