I needed to cool down and think this through.
“Jade, just chill out for a bit, OK? Stay here but just, I don't know, look at your phone or watch TV or something.”
“OK,” she said casually, walking over to my couch and looking at her phone.
I didn't want to do anything I would regret later. I didn't want to make a decision in the heat of an angry moment that would later haunt me.
What did I want to do with this power I had over Jade? I wanted to hurt her, yes. But did I want to destroy her? Torment her? Did I want her to know how thoroughly I was ruining her?
Why did I want to hurt her? I thought about that and came to the conclusion that... she owed me. Jade owed me big. Taking that account screwed me over financially and professionally. My life and my career had been off track since then.
But Jade owed me for more than that. She had taken away a woman I was in love with. A woman I had begun to imagine a future with.
Jade owed me.
And now, with this crazy app, she was going to pay me back.
