My perfect sister Stacy stole my husband Henry while I was pregnant, shattering me. All my life, I had been second to Stacy, who always excelled and was my parents’ favorite. I was left feeling invisible, but my grandmother always saw me and supported me. As an adult, I married Henry, despite my grandmother’s warnings about him. When I visited my grandmother, she revealed that Henry was still cheating, and I dismissed her concerns.
But when I returned home, I found Henry and Stacy in bed together. He didn’t deny it, and I was devastated. He coldly told me he was filing for divorce, and I was left with nothing but my car. I moved in with my grandmother, who comforted me, but her health was deteriorating. She passed away when I was eight months pregnant, and at her funeral, I inherited everything from her. My family erupted in anger, but I focused on the future for my baby. Not long after, Stacy showed up at my door, asking for money because she and Henry had lost everything. I refused to help, reminding her of all the pain she caused. She yelled at me, but I stood my ground, finally free from their toxic hold. As I leaned against the door, I felt a sense of relief and whispered to my baby, “Thank you, Grandma. I’ll make you proud.”
