As I walked out of the lawyer’s office, I looked like a defeated ex-wife—shoulders slumped, face blank. The sky was dark, and the heavy rain matched the mood I wanted people to believe I was in.

But inside, I felt electric. My hands gripped the cold steel handle of the elevator door as I stepped inside. There was no one else around. Perfect.

The doors slid shut with a quiet ding, and the second I was alone, a small giggle slipped out. I hadn’t meant to laugh, but I couldn’t hold it back—it rose up inside me like bubbles in a shaken soda bottle.

The more I thought about what had just happened, the stronger the laughter grew. Soon, I was cackling like a madwoman in the empty elevator.

If someone had seen me right then, they would have thought I had finally lost my mind from all the stress. But no—this was only the beginning. Everything was working out exactly as I had planned.
