My Parents Left For Italy After My Car Crash—"Don't Call Us!" 7 Days Later... |Applewood Revenge

Sign the bank authorization Gabrielle. Your left hand still works so stop being dramatic. Those were the very first words I heard as I drifted out of a thirty hour coma in the Intensive Care Unit, my body shattered from a horrific car crash. But instead of asking if I was going to survive, my mother Vivica and my golden child sister Whitney were standing over my bed, furious that my near death experience was inconveniencing their luxury anniversary trip to Italy. We are going to Rome to have fun, my mother sneered, tossing a pen onto my bandaged chest. Do not disturb us by calling. I stared at the legal document, then at the smug smile of Preston, the white trust fund leech of a husband to my sister. What they did not know was that just before I lost consciousness in the wreckage, I remembered the terrifying realization that my crash was not an accident. Preston had tampered with my brake lines to shut me up about his massive embezzlement. If you have ever had your blood relatives bleed you dry and leave you for dead, hit the like button, subscribe, and tell me where you are watching from in the comments. Because the minute their flight took off, I blocked every single one of their credit cards and bank accounts. You will want to hear how they begged me for mercy seven days later, and how I left them utterly destroyed. The harsh fluorescent lights of the Atlanta hospital room blinded me as I tried to focus my vision. The heart monitor beeped loudly against the silence of my family. Every breath felt like shattered glass. I tried to speak, but my throat was raw. My mother stood at the foot of my bed, impeccably dressed in a tailored trench coat, clutching her handbag as if the hospital air might contaminate it. Vivica was a woman who lived for high society politics and country club luncheons. To her, a daughter in the ICU was not a tragedy. It was a logistical annoyance. Beside her stood my younger sister Whitney, rolling her eyes and checking her diamond studded watch. Whitney huffed loudly, crossing her arms. Please sign the paper, Gabrielle. Preston and I have a first class flight to catch, and our trip to Italy cannot be ruined just because you suddenly forgot how to drive and drove into a ditch. I looked at the authorization form. It was a transfer release for my Limited Liability Company. Three years ago, my father Winston completely bankrupted our family. To save them from social ruin in Buckhead, I bought our estate under my company and put their lives on my payroll. I was a forensic wealth manager, and I was the only reason they were not living on the street. Yet, they still treated me like a broken ATM machine. She pressed the pen into my uninjured left hand. We need access to the secondary accounts, Gabrielle. The primary card is acting up, and I refuse to be embarrassed in Rome. Just sign it. You are going to be stuck in this bed for weeks anyway, so you do not need the money right now. I stared at her impatient eyes. Mom, I rasped. I almost died. The car rolled three times. She waved her hand dismissively. Yes, and you survived. The doctors said you are stable now. There is absolutely no reason for us to cancel a trip we have been planning for six months. We need this vacation to decompress. Do not be selfish, Gabrielle. Sign the paper.
