My Stepfather Kicked Me Out After Mom Died—What the Hidden Will Revealed Left Him Homeless

The cardboard box split at the bottom as I carried it down the stairs, spilling my childhood photos across the hardwood floor. I didn't have time to cry. Marcus stood in the doorway, arms crossed, designer watch glinting in the afternoon light. "You've got two hours, Emma. Whatever you don't take goes to Goodwill. " His voice was calm, almost bored, as if he wasn't evicting his dead wife's only child. Before we jump back in, tell us where you're tuning in from, and if this story touches you, make sure you're subscribed—because tomorrow, I've saved something extra special for you! I knelt to gather the scattered photographs—Mom and me at the lake, my sixth birthday, her wedding day to my biological father. The frame of my parents' wedding photo had cracked, a jagged line separating their smiling faces. Fitting."This is my home too," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "Mom wanted me to—" "Your mother isn't here," Marcus cut me off, checking his phone. "And the mortgage is in my name now. I need this space for my home office. Your time's up, Emma. You're 18. Most kids your age are thrilled to get their independence. " Independence. As if being kicked out three weeks after your mother's funeral with nowhere to go was some kind of gift. I looked around the craftsman-style home my biological father had renovated before he died. The built-in bookshelves he'd crafted by hand. T he window seat where Mom used to read to me. Now it was just another property in Marcus Winters' growing real estate portfolio. "What about mom's things? Her jewelry? The family albums? " Marcus's expression hardened. "I've already packed what matters. The rest. . . " He gestured vaguely toward the garage. "Donated. It was time to clear the space. " Clear the space. Like my mother had been nothing but clutter. My phone buzzed. Uncle Peter. 'I'm outside when you're ready. ' I clutched the broken picture frame, suddenly understanding that this house had stopped being a home the day Marcus moved in—four years ago.
