Securing Evidence
I wasn’t careless. I created a digital duplicate of the will, stored it on a secure website, and gave it to Marie, my attorney. We formally filed it via certified mail back in June, so it was known in the legal community without raising any red flags at home. I meticulously prepared every move to guarantee my triumph. This was my covert retaliation; the evidence was reliable and they had no way to challenge it.

Their False Kingdom
They celebrated their alleged “ownership” as if it were unchangeable, oblivious to the sandcastles they had constructed, while I watched from a distance. Neither the will nor any other legal documents ever mentioned my stepfather’s name. But in his ill-fitting fortress, he strutted around puffing like a rooster. They would soon discover that they were merely unsuspecting kings over a collapsing realm. Knowing that the reality would hit them hard, I waited patiently.
