My Sister and Her Family Moved Into My House Without My Permission — Karma Hit Them Hard the Same Day
Phoebe discovered her sister's family moving into her house without permission, making her bad day even worse. A sudden doorbell ring, however, brought an immediate taste of justice.
Growing up, Phoebe shared a tight bond with her sister, but their relationship shifted after her sister married. The recent events between them left an unforgettable impression.
At age 31, Phoebe owns a simple three-bedroom house. She takes great pride in her property, despite its basic features.
A decade of hard work and dedication went into her mortgage payments.
She sometimes looks at her friends' luxurious downtown residences with longing, but reminds herself about her home ownership benefits. She enjoys freedom from landlords and messy housemates, savoring her personal space.
Her sister Holly, age 38, has two children and remains married to Nicholas, her high school love. Their childhood closeness faded after Holly's marriage as she prioritized her new family. Phoebe accepted this change, believing Holly made choices she deemed right.
Their relationship remained cordial despite growing distance, at least seemingly.
Holly and Nicholas lived spontaneously, often discussing escape from regular work life and pursuing adventure.
Family dinner conversations irritated Phoebe.
Holly would criticize Phoebe's lifestyle over wine, suggesting more travel and world exploration.
Phoebe dismissed these comments.
She defended her preference for financial stability and secure housing.
Nicholas supported Holly's views, emphasizing life experiences and memories.
Phoebe silently noted that memories cannot cover expenses.
She warned them about financial management, watching them spend on impulsive trips and new technology, despite parental responsibilities.
They ignored her advice.
Their recent actions proved extreme. They sold their house during peak market prices, planning to fund extensive travel.

Their online presence decreased after two months.
Their final post showed them in basic camping conditions, discussing minimalist living.
Communication stopped afterward. Phoebe assumed they enjoyed their adventure, unaware of their struggles.
After an exhausting workday, Phoebe wanted relaxation with wine and television.

Alex offered leniency without charges if they departed immediately and surrendered the key.
