I thought my father’s will would secure my future. Then the lawyer read a name I didn’t recognize. My grandmother’s fury was immediate.
Who was Brenna, and why did my father leave her everything? And what secret was behind it? My life used to always be governed by rules.
Every morning, a strict voice echoed through the house. “Sit up straight, Mona. Don’t slouch.
A lady always keeps her composure.”
That was Loretta—my grandmother, my guardian, my shadow. After my mother died, she took over, raising me in her grand image. Everything had to be perfect.
My grades, my posture, and even the way I folded napkins. It was exhausting, but I tried. I always tried.
When my father passed away, Loretta quickly turned her focus to what mattered most to her. Control. But I remember the day my life changed.

I believed her.
For years, Loretta’s confidence had been unshakable, her plans infallible. So, as we sat in that cold office with its stale coffee, I felt sure of my future. “As per your father’s wishes,” he lawyer, glancing at the will, “his estate and money will go to Brenna.”
“Who!?” The word escaped my lips before I could stop it.
The lawyer paused. “Brenna is your father’s other daughter.”
“Sister? I… I have a sister?”
“Impossible!” Loretta’s sharp voice ricocheted off the walls.
