My Ex Came to Take Our Kids’ Toys for His Mistress’s Child – But Karma Didn’t Take Long to Retaliate

“I said get out!” I shouted. “You are not taking another thing from this room. You are not taking anything else from my children. Get out of my house right now, or I swear to God, Jake, I will call the police.”

He straightened up, his jaw clenching. For a moment, I thought he might argue. But then he grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder. He turned to leave, and that’s when I saw his mother, Carla.

She was standing in the hallway, her arms crossed, her face a mask of fury. I had forgotten she was in the house. She had come over earlier to take the kids to the park, and she had been in the bathroom when Jake arrived.

“Mom,” Jake said, his voice losing some of its edge. “I was just…”

“I know exactly what you were doing,” Carla snapped, her voice low and dangerous. “I saw it all. I was just waiting.”

Jake shifted uncomfortably. “It’s not what it looks like.”
