My life was a mess. Just believe me, that moment when everything piles up, and you’re waiting for a miracle. But the heavens heard me. I soon received a letter… an invitation to Mr. Edward Morrison’s WILL READING!
What was the catch? I had never heard of this man before!
Despite my fears, I went to the address and was simply stunned. The house was truly amazing, like something out of a movie! Already inside were relatives and a lawyer with a will in hand. He began, “Mr. Edward Morrison has left the ESTATE AND MILLIONS to his only son and Catherine Green (that’s me).” Loud gasps were heard. “But there is ONE CONDITION, you both must…”
The lawyer paused, looking around the room at the shocked faces. He continued, “…you both must live in the estate together for one year.”
The room erupted into whispers and murmurs. The son, a well-dressed man in his thirties named Daniel, looked as bewildered as I felt. I stepped forward, my voice shaky. “I don’t understand. I never knew Mr. Morrison. Why would he leave this to me?”
The lawyer adjusted his glasses and glanced at a piece of paper. “Mr. Morrison was aware that you didn’t know him, Ms. Green. However, he had followed your life from a distance. It seems he felt a connection to you, or perhaps he wanted to help someone he thought deserved a fresh start.”
Daniel looked at me with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. “And what happens if we don’t agree to this condition?” he asked the lawyer.
“If you do not agree to live together in the estate for one year, the estate and the millions will be donated to charity,” the lawyer replied.
