PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
Andreas sat outside in the sunshine, head in hands, frappe melting in the heat. He ran over it in his mind several times, but instead of providing answers, his anger intensified. How could they? He clenched his fists and kicked a table leg, causing his drink to spill. Scowling, he got up and marched resolutely to the police station. With lips pursed and a vein pulsating in his neck he reported his fiancé and business partner cleaning out his business account. If they wanted to be together fine, but they weren’t going to get away with taking his livelihood too.

Sounds like they deserve what they’re hopefully going to get.

I don’t think he’s bothered with revenge. He just wants to get his money back so he can continue his business and get on with his life. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Ouch! Poor guy. I’m sure it took a lot of bravery to turn his fiancé in. At least, he’s not down for the count financially.

Great writing Clare, some people have the cheek to want everything and take it all. For some reason they think they are entitled and have no consideration for others

I can understand his anger. I hope he gets back all or most of his money. If he does his fiance is likely to get a rude shock when her lover leaves her because the money’s gone. Good writing, Clare. 🙂 — Suzanne
