IT ALL YOURS

Astrid lounged on the plush couch, her slender fingers wrapped around a glass of orange juice as she watched the disturbing video of Stephan beating Mattie. 

A satisfied smile spread across her face, and she couldn't help but laugh at the brutal scene unfolding before her eyes. 

The sound of Stephan's fists pounding against Mattie's fragile body was like music to her ears.

Just as she was about to take another sip of her juice, a message popped up on her phone. 

She glanced at the screen, her eyes scanning the words, "It has been released to the press." A sly grin spread across her face as she typed out a response.

"You leave and never come back, your settlement has been sent to your account." she sent it.

Astrid was about to block the number when Julian suddenly snatched the phone from her hand. 

She looked up, startled, as Julian's eyes widened in shock. He stared at the video still playing on her phone, his face pale.
