After Lizetta had breakfast and just got into her car, her phone rang – it was Ynda.
She saw the news from the neighborhood chat group and was worried sick, so she asked
for leave from the set and bolted.
Lizetta met her at the café, and they’d barely exchanged a few words when thendlord called,
sounding really ticked off, demanding Ynda get back ASAP.
Lizetta went with Ynda back to the apartment, only to find their stuff chucked outside, all haphazard
and messy. And to top it off, thendlord refused to refund over four
months‘ worth of rent.
“The ce nearly turned into a haunted house, and I let you off easy not suing your butts! Renting to
people like you was like bad karma! Thinking of getting your rent back? Dream
on!”
Thendlord was this hefty woman, nearly 200 pounds, hands on hips and looking fierce.
“What do you mean ‘people like us‘?”
Ynda was fuming. She got thendlord being mad, and she came back all sincere, ready to talk it
out, anything to sort things out.
But thendlord was being nasty and throwing insults – who could stand that?
“All spooked up, up to no good, causing a ruckus chasing men, and you still got the nerve to ask me?!”
She gave Lizetta the once–over with a look of utter disdain, as if she was staring at something filthy.
It was one thing to talk smack about her, but saying things about Lizetta was off–limits Ynda lost it
and grabbed the chunkyndlord, dragging her down the stairs.
“Are you fricking brain–dead or justcking any sense of critical thinking? ming the victim – you’re
so ‘enlightened‘, aren’t you? Come with me!”
Ynda was strong, and thendlord stumbled helplessly, getting scared and copsing on the stairs,
wailing.

“Assault! Someone’s gonna murder me!”
Ynda wanted to drag her to the neighborhoodmittee to settle this, but then thendlord
suddenly yed the victim. Ynda snorted and rolled up her sleeves.
“Alright! Assault and murder, is it? Today you’re gonna witness some real fighting spirit!
Lizetta grabbed her, panic written all over her face, “Stop! You’re the eight–time boxing champ,
unbeatable across the city! If you hit her, at the very least she’ll end up with
broken legs. Remember that thug you paralyzed for provoking you? Lucky for you, you were a minor
then and avoided a record. Please, keep your cool!”
Ynda turned around,pletely baffled.
Was she really that badass?
But she caught on quick, grinning menacingly, “Let go! I’ve got to teach her a lesson today. If anything
happens, they will have my back!”
Thendlord was usually not easy to fool, but she had just seen some medals and trophies while
packing up, which seemed like legit boxing stuff.
She swallowed hard, standing her ground.
“You can’t scare me! It’s my house, and I won’t rent if I don’t want to!”

“Once a rental contract is signed, within the lease term, you have no right to evict someone without my
clients‘ agreement.”
Just then, a familiar melodious voice echoed up the stairwell. Lizetta turned to see Hogan, d in a
gray suit, climbing the stairs.
He caught her surprised look, smiled slightly behind his sses, and then addressed thendlord, “I’m
theirwyer, Hogan White; here to deal with this situation.”
Hogan had that elite vibe, the kind ofposed and meticulous aura shared by doctors andwyers.
Thendlord’s eyes flickered even more, and Ynda, unsatisfied, yanked Hogan aside, raising her
fist, “You’re early. Go downstairs. After I’ve knocked some sense into her, you cane up and sort it
out.”
Both thendlord and Lizetta were speechless. Hogan paused too, and then spoke to the
“If there’s been an incident, it means the house is unsafe, and breaking the lease is even less
appropriate. If we go to court, you’ll be on the hook for damages and breach of contract fees. If you’re
really not willing to refund the rent, we’ll have to take legal action.”
Thendlord’s defenses were down, and she shouted, “I’ll refund it!”
Hogan looked at Ynda, who quickly passed over the payment code.
“Just refund the rent, forget the breach of contract fee,”
After all the drama, the ce might be hard to rent out for a while. She had nned to renew the lease
for another year, figuring the incident would be old news by then, and thendlord wouldn’t lose out.
But she hadn’t counted on this attitude.
Once thendlord transferred the money and stood up to leave, Ynda blocked her way with a foot
against the wall.
“Apologizer”
Thendlord caved in, quickly turned around and mumbled an apology to Lizetta.
Ynda dropped her leg, and thendlord bolted upstairs, mming the door like she was being
chased by ghosts.
The hallway went quiet, and the three of them looked at each other and simultaneously burst into
laughter.
