THE COIN; The Lie Meets The Truth

Chapter 5 You're Just Asking For It

Jane rushed home to see all of her worst enemies standing at her door; they seemed to have the worst expressions plastering on their faces. Well, if her life wasn't even more fucked up, her family was seen kneeling before them.

"You assholes!" She screeched. (That's her love language.) "What have you done?!"

"That should be our question to you, bitch," Nathalie replies.

"So, now you're holding my family hostage over something that happened YEARS AGO?!"

Emi scoffs. "You're the one who held our families hostage over the internet. You live-streamed our addresses and listed out our families' names, all because you want to get our attention. Unfortunately for us, you succeeded. And now we're giving you the attention that you desperately craved. My dad's architect business was forced to put a temporary halt, Hannah's mum was almost killed by your little internet minions, Nathalie's parents were getting harassed by the neighbours while Rebecca's had to go into hiding. You also insulted Callas's mum IN THE SAME SENTENCE!"

Everyone was shocked by Emi's sudden outburst; the usually sweet Emi was always being funny and calm but now Jane was poking the hibernating bear inside of her. But they (except Jane; 'surprise, surprise') knew that she was not having it when her family got involved. Hannah calms her down by gripping her shoulder and rubbing her back. Jane doesn't seem to understand the outburst and continues with the screaming match.

"CAN YOU JUST STOP, JANE?!" Adam was having too much to handle. "YOU'RE PUTTING US IN A BAD PLACE!" Their mother was crying while their dad and second brother were giving disapproved looks. Jane ignored Adam's advice and punched Hannah in the face, which caught the latter off. I don't know if it's me or if that was the dumbest move she could ever make against Hannah. Fun not-so-fun fact, Hannah was a kyorugi silver medalist in taekwondo during her university years until she retired. It doesn't help that Hannah also slapped Jane many years ago...and she was about to experience it again.

Hannah, whose lip got bruised in the process punched back. Jane stumbled and tried to go for another swing but Hannah prevented her by delivering an uppercut and Jane fell to her knees. Hannah grabbed her by the collar and punched Jane across the face repeatedly, with each punch harder than the last until Emi and Callas had to restrain her.

"Hannah, that's enough!" Callas was grabbing onto her left shoulder while Emi took the right. "You'll be charged for assault and battery."

"I don't think you would want the police to know that I personally handled the person behind the article," Hannah says to the now-bruised Jane and her horrified family. "Our lawyers are here to deliver our letters of lawsuit to you," she turns to look at her family as Callas and Emi's lawyer hands them the letters. "If you want to be free from further humiliation, then I advise you to do the right thing. And Jane," her eyes – those batshit crazy-looking eyes never changed. "Don't ever approach us again."

And with that, they left the house. Jane tried to chase after them but with a bruised face and injured ankle, she stumbled to the ground once more. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, FUCKING BITCHES!"

*Slap*

Jane felt it harder than anything else; she got déjà vu from that feeling alone. The difference was that it wasn't Hannah who delivered the slap but her father. She fell upon impact and her lips were even more bloody than before.

"Why did you do that?!" She screamed at her father but was rewarded with another slap to the right.

"YOU DARE TO ASK THAT AFTER WHAT YOU DID?!" He roared. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?! YOU WENT AFTER TWO OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN OUR COUNTRY, DOXXED THEIR ADDRESSES AND YOU HAD THE GALL TO INSULT THEIR FAMILIES."
