My mother wants to seize my family fortune.

Summary

My father had just been buried when the woman who abandoned us returned, insisting her new children should inherit everything he left behind.

She tore my mourning clothes, grabbed my hair, and ordered me to hand over the house my father built with his life.

But when she tried to force me to call her “Mom,” I pulled out my knife. That was the last time she laid a hand on me.
