My brother Noah and I were always close, but things shifted when he got engaged to Vanessa. From day one, she seemed overly interested not just in Noah, but in our family traditions, wealth, and especially our inheritance. I told myself to stay neutral, assuming maybe I was just being protective. But as the engagement progressed, so did the red flags.
Vanessa began hinting, then outright saying, that her two children from a previous relationship should be included in our family inheritance. She called it “discrimination” that they wouldn’t be treated like biological heirs. While the rest of us were quietly stunned by her boldness, I stayed silent, watching her motives unfold.
