Blackmail

She wrote out the email, re read it and then hesitated before clicking 'send'.

Aware that she was fighting someone else's battle, fighting a losing battle. a battle that had been lost by scores of women who came before her. they did her best, and she knew she couldnt live with herself if she didn't give it her best shot.

what did she want out of this? not money. money has never helped a broken, violated soul to mend. perhaps an apology would help. an official apology with an official signature. handwritten. a document of repentance and self loathing. perhaps a little money along with that wouldn't hurt.

but this is dangerous. if she was ever found out, she could get into a lot of trouble.

but it was totally worth it. in a way, she needed this. it was cathartic for her. she was getting her own vengence through this.

it was blackmail. but completely justified blackmail.

her hesitation gone, she hit 'send' and sat back, waiting for a reply.




PS:

(sigh) i feel so loved. no one in the world would drive 18 hours just to see me for 3 hours. im a special girl.
