After Encountering A Fatal Blind Date, I Took Revenge

Returning home for the holidays, a young woman faces an absurd setup orchestrated by Aunt Jessica. Her blind date is a limping, divorced elderly man with two children. Having absolutely no interest in him, she decides to play matchmaker herself. She swiftly redirects the older man toward her cousin Anika, who has a known preference for father figures. It is the ultimate act of family fairness, turning a disastrous setup into a hilarious stroke of poetic justice.

My injuries were mostly superficial, and the doctor soon cleared me to leave the hospital.

When we arrived home, Mom helped me out of the car. Several elderly women, who had gathered around, gave me disapproving looks.

I frowned, sensing that something was off.

As soon as we walked in, we heard a commotion. Mom opened the door to find Aunt Jessica, along with Uncle Aidan, Uncle Owen, and even Grandma, who was in a wheelchair.
