Chapter 1: Charlotte's Sneaky Plan

The morning after her punishment, Charlotte was still frustrated. She wanted to get even, but not directly. That’s when she had an idea: she could get Ariel in trouble. Charlotte approached Ariel, holding out $50. “Hey, Ariel, I’ll give you this if you say something for me.”

Ariel looked up, confused but interested. “What do I have to say?”

“Just call Mom a ‘bitcoin’ when you see her. It’s not a bad word. Just say it, okay?”

Ariel shrugged, not understanding the implications. “Okay!”

Chapter 2: Ariel’s Big Mistake

Later, as the family was gathered in the kitchen, Ariel innocently called out to MJ. “Mom, you’re a bitcoin!”

MJ froze in shock, and Peter immediately looked at Ariel, confused and angry. “What did you just say, Ariel?”

Ariel, still unaware of the trouble, repeated it with a smile. “You’re a bitcoin, Mommy!”

Chapter 3: The Confrontation

Peter and MJ exchanged a serious glance. “Ariella Grace Stark, who told you to say that?” MJ demanded.

Ariel’s smile faded as she sensed the shift in tone. “Uh… Charlotte told me to say it.”

Chapter 4: The Blame Falls

Peter’s eyes turned to Charlotte, who was watching from the other side of the room. “Charlotte Bella Marie Stark, come here right now.”

Charlotte walked over slowly, trying to act innocent. “What? I didn’t do anything.”

“You told your little sister to say something inappropriate!” Peter snapped.

Chapter 5: The Iron Spider Belt Comes Out

Peter didn’t waste any time. “Charlotte, that’s it. You’re getting spanked. With the Iron Spider belt. Pants and underwear down.”

Charlotte’s stomach dropped, but she followed Peter into his study, where the Iron Spider belt awaited.

Chapter 6: The First Punishment

Peter spanked Charlotte 10 times, the belt stinging with each strike. She winced and bit her lip, refusing to let tears fall. Afterward, she was sent to her room.

Chapter 7: Anger Boils Over

Even though she had just been punished, Charlotte’s anger only grew. “It’s all Ariel’s fault,” she muttered to herself as she paced her room. Her mind raced, and her frustration boiled over again.

Chapter 8: Charlotte's Bad Decision

In a fit of rage, Charlotte marched over to Ariel, who was playing quietly in the living room. Without thinking, she kicked Ariel in the leg.

Ariel screamed in pain, clutching her leg as tears filled her eyes. “Mom! Dad! Charlotte kicked me!”

Chapter 9: Ariel Snitches

MJ and Peter rushed into the room, and Peter’s face darkened as he saw Ariel crying. “Charlotte! What did you do?”

“She was being annoying!” Charlotte shot back, refusing to apologize.

Peter shook his head. “You took this way too far, Charlotte.”

Chapter 10: The Iron Spider Suit

Peter went to the closet and pulled out the Iron Spider suit. “This time, you’re getting spanked while I’m wearing the Iron Spider suit. You’ve gone too far.”

Charlotte’s defiance faltered as she realized how serious Peter was. “No, Dad, please…”

Chapter 11: The Second Punishment

Peter suited up, his voice cold and firm. “Pants and underwear down, Charlotte.”

With no choice, Charlotte complied, and the spanking began again, harder this time, with Peter using the full strength of the Iron Spider suit.

Chapter 12: After the Spanking

When the spanking was over, Charlotte could barely move, her body aching from the discipline. Peter pulled off the suit and looked at her sternly. “You’re grounded. For a week. No TV, no games, no phone.”

Charlotte nodded miserably, too tired and sore to argue.

Chapter 13: Reflecting on Her Actions

Back in her room, Charlotte lay on her bed, trying to process what had just happened. She had taken things too far—she knew that now. But the anger and frustration still burned inside her, making it hard for her to accept responsibility.

Chapter 14: Peter’s Disappointment

Downstairs, Peter sat at the kitchen table, his head in his hands. He couldn’t understand why Charlotte was acting out so much lately. MJ sat beside him, placing a hand on his arm.

“She’ll learn, Peter,” MJ said softly. “It just takes time.”

Peter sighed. “I hope so.”

Chapter 15: Ariel's Forgiveness

Ariel, meanwhile, had calmed down from the incident. Despite being hurt by her sister, she still wanted to make things right. She walked up to Charlotte’s room and knocked on the door.

“Charlotte, are you okay?”

Chapter 16: Charlotte’s Apology

Charlotte looked up, surprised to see Ariel standing in the doorway. “I’m sorry,” she said quietly. “I shouldn’t have kicked you.”

Ariel smiled softly. “It’s okay. I still love you.”

For the first time that day, Charlotte felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Chapter 17: Talking to MJ

Later that evening, MJ sat down with Charlotte to talk. “Why do you keep doing these things, Charlotte? What’s really going on?”

Charlotte hesitated before answering. “I don’t know. I just get so mad sometimes.”

MJ nodded, understanding. “It’s okay to feel angry, but you can’t hurt others when you’re upset. You need to find a better way to deal with it.”

Chapter 18: Grounded and Reflecting

For the next week, Charlotte remained grounded. She spent a lot of time alone in her room, thinking about everything that had happened. Slowly, she began to realize that her anger was causing more problems than it was solving.

Chapter 19: Moving Forward

By the end of her grounding, Charlotte felt like she had learned a valuable lesson. She apologized to her parents, and though things didn’t immediately go back to normal, there was a sense of understanding between them. It would take time, but Charlotte was ready to work on herself and find better ways to handle her emotions.
