“It doesn’t matter. Just sign the damn papers, Ammani. We both know you’re too weak to handle the estate.”
But in that moment, I was anything but weak.
Brenda, my newfound sister, stood beside me as a testament to resilience and family bonds stronger than greed and betrayal. “You’re wrong, Marcus,” I said, my voice gaining strength. “I’m not alone anymore.”
With Brenda’s help, the legal battle that ensued was fierce but ultimately victorious.
Marcus’s deception was laid bare, and the estate remained secure. Brenda and I, united by blood and circumstance, vowed to protect Aunt Hattie’s legacy and each other. In the end, the accident that nearly claimed my life became the catalyst for a new beginning—a chance to rebuild and embrace the family I never knew I had.
As for Marcus, he was left with nothing but the consequences of his actions, a fitting end for someone who underestimated the strength of a woman with everything to gain and nothing to lose.
