Reborn I Refuse to Be the Family's Cash Cow AgainChapter 1

After my husband died, my mother-in-law was so devastated that she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

She held my hands and begged me to stay. She said that seeing me and our child made her feel like her son was still alive.

Thinking of the nearly twenty years of love I'd shared with my husband, I agreed.

I used his accident compensation to pay for her treatment. I cared for her day and night, treated her like my own mother, and looked after her until the day she died of old age.

The day her funeral ended, my brother-in-law and his wife showed up with a lawyer—and my mother-in-law's will.

Every house, every storefront the family owned, she'd left to him.

Even the house my husband and I had bought together—she claimed half of it was hers and left that to him too.

I stared at the video will the lawyer held up, and the ground dropped out from under me.

Twenty years of devotion. A joke. Every last day of it.

My sister-in-law looked at me with a smirk that could curdle milk. "Time to pack up, Jeanette Harding. We're giving you one hour to get out."
