At ten years old, my world shattered when my parents died in a car accident. My aunt and uncle, Margaret and David, took me in—but they also took everything from me. My parents’ house, their savings, and my inheritance. They rented out my home, sold off my belongings, and lied to me for years.

At fourteen, I overheard my uncle bragging about profiting from the house. At seventeen, I discovered that my parents’ will had been forged, and everything was meant to be mine. With the help of my friend Mia and her lawyer relative, I gathered evidence over the next year.
