Cornelius

Kornelius was an ordinary guy from the neighborhood—quiet, attentive, even overly kind. First, to your mother, when she pretended to be a lonely woman in need of care. Then, to your sister, pretending to be in love, just so someone would drive her and buy her gifts. And then, to you. You knew he was already "in your life," but... you came anyway. He listened, believing every word, as if there was still room for hope in him. You only laughed behind his back.

He disappeared for several months. No calls, no messages. And then he returned—a different man. Calm, collected, with a coldness in his eyes that couldn't be mistaken for resentment. He approached our house, where he always stood with flowers, and smiled. "It's strange to see you all together," he said, looking at you as if choosing whose eyes to look into first. "Mother, sister, you... it's all like a bad joke."

You exchanged glances. He stepped closer, and it felt like the air became heavier. "Remember how you said I was 'too soft'? That people like me don't take revenge?" he laughed quietly. "That's a mistake."

He knew too much about each of you. Where your mother hid her love letters, where your sister kept her compromising photos, where I kept other people's secrets. Everything you could use to hold others, now held you.

He took out his phone, swiped his finger across the screen, and smiles appeared on your faces. "Don't be afraid, I won't ruin your lives," he said almost tenderly. "I just want you to feel what I felt. When a person is needed... while he's useful."

He stepped towards the door and turned around. “Just remember one thing,” he addressed you, looking straight into your eyes. “Next time you decide to wipe your feet on someone, make sure it’s not me.”
