The Ungrateful One

Summary

After my brother-in-law died, we adopted his daughter.

My niece, naturally sensitive, always felt we treated her worse than our own son. She spread rumors that we’d only taken her in to get our hands on her father’s inheritance.

My husband, blinded by familial love, never held it against her. My son and I bent over backward to accommodate her.

But our kindness only fed her audacity. She conspired with outsiders to burn our whole family alive and seize our assets.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day we adopted her.
