When my late father left me a house I had never heard of, I thought it was a mistake.
But when I arrived at the mysterious property, a woman was already living there—claiming it was hers.
What she revealed shattered everything I thought I knew about my family and my life.
It had been raining heavily the day I received the news. The rhythmic pounding of water on the pavement seemed to echo the chaos in my mind as I made my way to the notary’s office.
My father had passed away, leaving behind a mountain of debts that had stripped us of nearly everything. Now, even the modest home we shared was being repossessed. I had no expectations as I entered the office, believing there was nothing left to inherit but heartache.
