“Your father left his will to me, and I have the only copy.
I don’t know what this is,” he said, holding up the fake will.
“This is his last will! And it’s valid!” Angela screamed, her face red with anger.
The lawyer remained calm. “Then you won’t mind if I take it for verification?
You know this is a serious offense and punishable by law, right?”
At these words, my mother and Angela fell silent, their faces pale.
They knew they had been caught. I gathered the documents I needed and turned to leave the house.
As I was about to step out, Tom suddenly fell to his knees before me.
“Forgive me, Kate. I was wrong.
I love you so much.
Let’s try again?” he begged, tears in his eyes.
I looked down at him, feeling no sympathy. “I don’t need any of you, and I never want to see or hear from you again,” I said firmly.
“Kate! Please!” Tom continued to beg, but I walked past him and headed for the exit.
I didn’t intend to listen to him or anyone else who had hurt me.
I was done with all of them.
I stepped out of the house, feeling a sense of freedom and relief. I was ready to start a new chapter in my life, one where I was in control and surrounded by people who truly cared for me.
I moved to a house by the ocean and opened my own business, as I had always dreamed.
It was a cozy little place with a view of the sea, and it brought me peace. Every morning, I woke up to the sound of waves and felt a sense of freedom and happiness that I had never known before.
I never spoke to my family again.
It was better that way.
But from what I heard, my mother and Angela spent all the money left by my father within a few months.
Tom had to get another job to make ends meet. Angela had twins, and they all lived with my mother because they had no money to rent a house. It was a chaotic situation, and they struggled every day.
Sometimes, I thought about how things had turned out.
My mother and Angela had always treated me so badly, and now they were facing their own hardships.
I felt a sense of justice. Everyone got exactly what they deserved.
