When my mom died, she left me her lake house. It was sacred to me. I just kept it clean, visited it a few times a year, and preserved it exactly as she left it.
My dad remarried fast. Carla. She mocked my late mom. She threw away Mom's handmade quilts and canvases.
When I turned twenty-one, the lake house legally became mine. I made it clear: it was off-limits. Carla smiled: "Of course, sweetheart. Your mom's fairy hut deserves to be preserved."
Fast-forward to this June—the fifth anniversary of Mom's death. That date is heavy for me every year. So I took the day off work, like I always do, to be at the lake house. Alone. Quiet. But when I pulled up…
Four cars were already parked there.
Loud music was thumping from inside the house. I could hear people laughing, and one of those voices was very familiar.
It was Carla's voice.
I stepped onto the porch—and froze. Carla was pouring drinks, and her friends were lounging on the deck, laughing.
And someone… was using my mom's embroidered pillow as a footrest. The pillow she'd made with her own hands.
Carla raised a glass: "No taste, but at least she bought a property with a view!"
I felt like the air left my lungs.
Carla was openly desecrating my mom's memory—in the very place she loved most—ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH.
I backed out of the house before anyone saw me and sat in my car, shaking.
I wanted to scream and tell all these women to get out of my mother's house, but then something clicked in my brain. A PLAN. ⬇️
