I’m Mandy, a 26-year-old junior attorney focused on my career. My boyfriend Jeff, 29, proposed unexpectedly at Disneyland. Stunned and unprepared, I told him, “I’m not ready. This is too soon.” Jeff’s face fell, and he threatened, “You will regret this.”
The Fallout
Back at work, my boss confronted me with leaked confidential client information traced to my laptop. I realized Jeff had sabotaged my career. Fired and financially strained, I returned home to find Jeff had moved out, leaving a note: “You brought this on yourself.”
Gathering Evidence
Determined to retaliate, I gathered evidence of Jeff’s insider trading and shady dealings. Using my legal skills, I compiled a detailed dossier and anonymously sent it to his company’s HR, the SEC, and major clients.
Justice Served
Soon, Jeff was fired, blacklisted, and facing legal trouble. An old colleague informed me, “Jeff’s been blacklisted. No one wants to touch him.” Despite the turmoil, I felt a sense of closure. Jeff tried to break me, but ultimately, his downfall was more spectacular.
What do you think? Was my revenge justified, or did I go too far?
