Lisa and Mark had three children. They welcomed 8-year-old Emma and 6-year-old Noah together, and Mark had his son from his first marriage, Jake.
16-year-old Jake would visit their house occasionally. He used to be a good boy, but now he was different. Lisa thought that it was just teenage angst.
She greeted Jake with a warm smile, but Jake didn’t even make an eye contact as he said “Hi.”
His siblings rushed to hug, but he was distant to them too.
In that week, Lisa realised that something was wrong. The children told her that Jake wasn’t letting them to play in the living room.
Few days later, Lisa found the living room in a mess. The room was filled with trash, pizza boxes, soda cans, crumbs, empty packages…
She then told Jake to clean up the mess he made. But Jake responded that it was not his house.
When she was walking past Jake’s room, she heard Emma. When she checked inside, she was her daughter picking up Jake’s dirty clothes.
The room was no different than the living room. It was in a mess.
“Jake, why is Emma cleaning your room?”
As she was taking Emma out of the room, Jake told her that she was making a big deal out of this.
“It is a big deal, Jake. You’re being lazy and disrespectful. Emma is your sister, not your maid.”
They let Jake in control of the house while Lisa and Mark went to their friend’s house for a few days, and when they returned, they found out that he threw a party, and the house was looking like a battlefield.
They found Emma and Noah in the closet, which they revealed that he locked them in there.
“Do something about it, Mark!”
“Jake, you can’t do this. Apologize to your sister.”
As she was shocked when she saw her husband’s reaction. A day later, Jake also stole money from Lisa’s purse too. It was enough. Lisa was sure that she would give Jake a proper lesson.
She put fake money into her purse, and wanted help from her friend who was a police officer.
The next day, Jake stole money again, and he went to meet with his friends. Lisa was following. Then Mike, Lisa’s friend appeared. He was holding a fake bill. He told Mike that he was under arrest for using fake money as a payment method.
His friends were shocked while Mike put handcuffs on Jake.
Then Lisa walked into the cafe. She asked what was happening to her stepson. Mike explained the situation and Lisa told Mike that Jake was a good kid and that he wouldn’t do that.
“Please, Lisa, help me!” Jake cried.
Then Mike let him go as he stated that since it was his first offence, he’ll let it slide for this time.
Jake hugged to Lisa as he apologized. He told her that he will never act badly again, and he never did.
