Erika got into the car and sighed, shelooked at the divorce certificate and smiled bitterly. For three years, three years of marriage and its over just like that. Monica looked at her and said teasingly"if you are done remembering the wonderful moments in your ex-married life, can we leave now?".

Erika replied" you are the one sitting in the driver's seat, I am not holding your arms and legs so drive". Monica immediately accelerated the car and zoomed out of the alley they were in. There was no traffic so the ride was smooth.

Monica asked,"So since you are single now, wanna go to the mall to celebrate?". She knew that the decision to divorce Adrian was not an easy one so she was trying to take her friends mind of out it.

Erika replied," Sure, no problem it's been a while I went to the mall anyway and I also need new clothes". Monica nodded and followed another road to go to the mall.

In 20 minutes, they arrived at the centre mall which was sooner than normal. The centre mall was the biggest mall in California and it belonged to Monica's parents, Mr and Mrs Smith. They went in and directly strode to the female clothing section. Monica is a model and also a stylist so she knew fashion better than Erika and started picking out clothes for her to try and after a while she decided to go to the restroom and Erika continued. While doing so she heard someone say"what do you think you are doing here?”.

She turned and saw Mary and Juliet looking disdainfully at her. Erika stared at them looking confused with their question and Mary repeated" don't you understand English, I asked what is a low life bitch like you doing here".

Erika replied calmly" is there a sign that says I cant come in here?”.

Juliet asked" do you think you can afford anything in here, you didn't accept the alimony so what can you possible afford here, oh I get it, you are going to ask them

to let you clean the floors for them, right? however I don't I think it's possible to clean filth with filth". After saying that Mary and Juliet laughed.

Erika wasn't vexed and replied calmly"the only filth I see here are the two nosy people who ask unreasonable questions and interrupted my shopping".

This comment provoked the mother and daughter duo but because of their reputation they decided to remain calm. Erika continued"I have already divorced Adrian so I have no relationship with the Harts so what is your business with what I can afford or what I can't afford".

Mary and Juliet were already boiling with anger but also with shock."When did she start defending herself?". They have bullied her all the time but she was always timid and never talked back but now.....

The both of them turned speechless, although no shoppers were paying attention to them they still felt humiliated. Juliet wanted to slap Erika but she reminded herself again that they were

outside. So she simply said "I will be waiting to laugh when the security guards come to throw you out when you can't pay for anything". Mary glared hardly at Erika and left with Juliet.

Monica clapped her hands cheerfully for Erika like a proud mother as she has witnessed the whole thing. The old Erika is back! She hugged her friend tightly and said "oh that was a good show, it's a good thingyou didn't let them step on you all over again".

Erika replied"this is just the beginning, I am going to make them go through everything I went through for them. I am only starting". She said the last one with a big smile.

They continued shopping until they were satisfied and it was time to pay. They didn't know that the mother and daughter duo were watching them closely and when they saw it was time to pay, they couldn't wait to mo ck Erika again but it wasn't their lucky day as Erika brought a black card with no spending limit out of her purse and paid 15

million dollars for everything they bought.

Their mouths hung open as they saw the black card and the bill" 15 million dollars". They immediately rushed over and Juliet tried to snatch the black card but Erika was quick and Juliet hand only caught air. She asked loudly" where did you steal this black card from?" and her voice attracted some shoppers this time around. Everyone stopped what they were doing to enjoy a good show.

Erika asked" steal?". She was starting to getannoyed with these people. Don't they have something better to do? And now they are calling her a thief.

Mary followed her daughter"Yes, steal. You stole this card from its owner and used it to go shopping". She continued" are you that desperate for money that you had to result to stealing".

Erika wanted to laugh at these people. She didn't accept the alimony but now they said she stole. They are really starting to confuse her thoughts. She replied "I didn't steal anything, didn't I just remind you

earlier that my business is not your business so why are you following me around like a bunch of fans, don't tell me you are missing me already." She mocked. She didn't give them enough time to digest that and showed the black card which had her name on it written boldly and they could only stare at it in shock.

"My name is written on it so who are youreally calling a thief?". She looked at them disdainfully, the same way they always looked at her.
