MY FUTURE MIL DEMANDED LUXURY GIFTS TO "ACCEPT" ME INTO THE FAMILY—SO I GAVE HER A GIFT SHE'LL NEVER FORGET
When my MIL-to-be, Denise, found out I inherited $500,000 from my late grandmother, she suddenly became extra welcoming.
One night before our wedding, she pulled me aside, smiling like a cat who just cornered a mouse.
"I have something for you, sweetheart." She handed me an envelope.
I opened it, expecting some sentimental note. Instead?
A list.
A demand list.
A Cartier bracelet "as a symbol of love and appreciation." A Rolex for her husband. A car for my fiancé’s sister. Oh, and a $2,000 monthly "family contribution" to prove my commitment.
I stared at her. "Are you serious?"
Denise's smile didn’t waver. "It's just how we do things. You're lucky to have this money—we need to know you're serious about US."
I felt my blood boil. My grandmother died, and this woman acted like I won the lottery.
Then she sealed her fate.
"If you really love my son, you'll do this."
I didn't yell. I didn’t storm out. Instead, I smiled sweetly.
"Oh, Denise, you're absolutely right. Family takes care of family."
Her eyes sparkled with greed.
I spent the next few days preparing.
That Sunday, I returned with beautifully wrapped gifts. One by one, I handed them out.
Denise’s hands trembled as she opened her special box.
And then shr screams—
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" ⬇️ 🌏
