“Accidents happen. Try not to be dramatic.”
That was the moment my grief turned into something colder.
For three years, Dominic and Victoria had treated me like a poor orphan they had generously rescued. They mocked my thrift-store dresses, controlled every household expense, and reminded me constantly that the mansion, the cars, and Dominic’s construction company belonged to “their family.”
They had no idea my late father had left me a private trust worth eighty million dollars. It was protected by attorneys, hidden behind legal structures, and my name appeared nowhere Dominic would ever think to search. Legalaid services
My attorney, Sophia Sterling, had warned me that pretending to have nothing around greedy people was dangerous.
