Hello @esther-emmanuel. Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing my short story. You are right. The best way to fight extortion is with the truth. As the old saying goes, "the truth shall set you free". In life, people use all types of tactics against each other to get them to comply with various demands. The objective may not always be about financial gains.

Jealousy stirs many to revenge. Even family and friends who profess to love you can be envious. Usually, by confiding in an outside, objective person, one can see more clearly a path forward.

I appreciate that you connected with my story. Thanks for the recommendation to the Discovery-it community and nomination to Scrobble. Take care and have a nice rest of your week.
