THE WOMAN UNLOCKED MY APARTMENT WITH A KEY
CLAIMING MY HUSBAND INVITED HER, BUT WHEN SHE SAW HIM, SHE ASKED, ‘WHO’S THAT?’

After two months away caring for my mom post-surgery, I returned home to my husband, Michael, eager for normalcy. Barely an hour after arriving, a young woman named Sonya walked into my apartment with a key, claiming Michael had given it to her and said
he was single. Furious, I confronted Michael, who was clueless. The woman showed us a dating app photo—it wasn’t Michael, but his brother,
Nick, who’d been using our apartment and Michael’s name to impress dates. Michael texted Nick, luring him over for lasagna. When Nick arrived, Sonya threw water in his face, and we demanded he pay our rent and return Sonya’s gifts, including AirPods. Nick left, defeated. Sonya stayed for dinner, and we bonded over the chaos. It was a wild day—revenge, a new friend, and a home-cooked meal after two exhausting months.
