Dad died on a Tuesday. Quietly. With me holding his hand.
Patricia arrived an hour later. Cried dramatically for the staff. Then started planning the funeral.
“Something tasteful. Befitting his success. I’ll handle everything.”
She did. Expensive. Showy. More about her than him.
And at the grave, while I stood crying, she handed me a broom.
“This is your only inheritance. Start cleaning my new house, or figure something out on your own.”

Tyler filmed it. Livestreamed it. Captioned it: “When the spoiled daughter learns Daddy didn’t leave her the fortune.”
His followers ate it up. Hundreds of comments. Laughing. Mocking. Cruel.
And I—I took the broom. Went to the estate. Cleaned.
Not because I believed her. But because I needed time. Needed to think. Needed to wait.
That night, cleaning alone, I thought about my father. About his values. His principles. His love.
He wouldn’t leave me with nothing. Wouldn’t abandon me to Patricia.
