The Unexpected Inheritance
When Grandma passed, I assumed the farm would be mine. Instead, it went to my cousin Felicity, who only saw dollar signs. I received a cryptic letter and the right to stay—for now.
The Will’s Surprise
At the lawyer’s office, the will was read. Felicity inherited everything, despite rarely spending time on the farm. However, Grandma had added a twist: I could stay as long as I wanted, and after three months, more would be revealed.
A New Rhythm
As I cared for the farm, the animals, and the land, I found peace in its rhythms. Jack, a local friend, helped me fix things when they broke. But then, disaster struck—a fire destroyed the farmhouse.
The Conflict
Felicity immediately suggested selling, but I refused to leave. The farm was my home and my inheritance, no matter what the papers said.
The Truth Comes Out
Three months later, we met at the lawyer’s office. The will revealed Grandma’s true intention: I was the real guardian of the farm. While I had stayed, worked, and protected it, Felicity had only sought profit. The farm was mine.
The Shocking Revelation
Jack stepped forward and revealed the truth. Felicity had started the fire to scare me away. She was even caught buying gasoline. With that, Felicity’s claim to the farm collapsed.
A New Beginning
Later, as the sun set over the fields, Jack and I walked together. The future was uncertain, but it was mine to shape—and I wasn’t going anywhere.
