My Brother's Text: "Sold Your Piano - We Need the Money." He Didn't Know It Was Worth $2.8 Million... The text arrived at 3:47 PM on a Tuesday, right as I was finishing a Bach invention with my private student. Sixteen-year-old Sophie was struggling with the fingering in measure twelve when my phone buzzed on the piano bench beside me."Sold your piano for $500 - we need the money. Don't make a scene about it. - Jake"I stared at the screen for exactly ten seconds before my student noticed my sudden stillness."Ms. Hartwell? Are you okay?" I forced a smile and slipped the phone into my jacket pocket. "Let's work on that left hand passage again, Sophie. Remember, it's all about the wrist motion."But my mind wasn't on Bach anymore. It was on the 1925 Steinway Model M that had been sitting in my parents' living room for the past three years. The piano I'd been restoring piece by piece. The piano my grandfather had left me in his will. The piano worth $2.8 million that my brother had just sold for five hundred dollars. #aita #reddit #redditstories #redditstory #revengestory #revenge
