Chapter 10 - Margaret Refuses To Open Her Doors To Ingrates
Margaret stood up slowly from her sunroom chair, walking toward the grand foyer with calm, unhurried steps.
She stopped just inside the heavy wooden door, looking out through the security peephole at her desperate son and daughter-in-law.
They looked pathetic, their expensive clothes unable to mask the sheer panic radiating from their desperate faces.
Margaret unlocked the interior deadbolt, but she left the heavy chain security lock firmly fastened in place.
She opened the door a mere three inches, peering out at them with an expression of absolute indifference.
“If you strike my door again, I will have the community security escort you off the property for trespassing,” Margaret warned quietly.
“Margaret, stop being ridiculous and unlock this door so we can discuss our monthly allowance!” Emily demanded angrily.

“There is nothing to discuss; you are no longer welcome on my property,” Margaret stated before closing the door firmly.
