Clause 15: Discrimination and Moral Damages
The mood in the room snapped from celebration to panic. Whispers rippled through the guests. No one wanted to be on the wrong side of the owner.
“What are you talking about?” Vanessa stuttered. “We paid. You can’t throw us out. I have rights. I’m calling my lawyer!”
“Go ahead, call him,” I replied with a cold smile. “Tell him to read Clause 15, paragraph B: ‘The landlord reserves the right to terminate the contract immediately and without refund if the tenant or their guests engage in discriminatory, violent, or degrading behavior toward staff, neighbors, or the owner.’”
I rolled my chair toward her, forcing her backward until she collided with the drinks table.
“You called me ‘invalid.’ You said I was ‘in the way.’ You tried to throw me out of my own house in front of a hundred people. That, my dear, is blatant discrimination against the owner.”
“It was a joke!” Vanessa cried, panic rising as her friends began drifting away. “We were just playing! Elena, please don’t do this!”
“Playing?” I asked quietly. “When you shoved me toward the exit, was that a game? No, Vanessa. That was your true self. And it’s going to cost you.”
I pulled out my phone and dialed the head of security for the residential complex, who was waiting for my signal outside.
“Ramírez, proceed. The event is canceled. Immediate evacuation.”
Within a minute, ten uniformed security guards entered. They weren’t Vanessa’s hired help—they were the luxury condominium’s official security, men who answered only to the property owner.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” the head of security announced gravely, “please leave. The party is over. You have five minutes to vacate, or the police will be called for trespassing.”
