“Mom, I have a fever… can I stay home today?” she whispered, and her mother agreed without a second thought. But by noon, the house wasn’t as quiet as it should’ve been. A key turned in the lock—slow, careful, like whoever entered didn’t want to be seen. From behind her bedroom door, the girl watched her aunt slip something into her mother’s coat pocket… then casually step away and whisper into her phone, “It’s done. Tonight she’ll call the police. That fool won’t suspect a thing.”

My stepmother refused to let me say goodbye to my father. She stood in front of the hospital door and said coldly, “There’s no need.” A week later, just before the will was read, she blocked me again: “Only heirs are allowed in.” I didn’t protest. I simply gave the lawyer a folder. After skimming through it, he looked up at her and said, “You might want to take a seat… right now.” The confident smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
