Tension in the Living Room
Victoria stood near the fireplace with her arms folded across her green satin blouse.
David sat on the cream couch, holding a piece of paper before looking up at her.
She demanded that David force his twenty-year-old son Ethan to pack his belongings and move out.
David placed the document down on his lap and stood up to face her directly.
He stated clearly that Ethan had lived in the house long before their relationship began.
When Victoria asked if he was choosing his son over her, David turned and walked away toward the front foyer.
An Unannounced Visit Upstairs
Victoria turned around and walked briskly up the wooden staircase.
Ethan sat at his wooden desk writing in a notebook when a knock sounded against his bedroom door.
He stood up from his chair, crossed the room, and pulled the white door open.
Victoria stepped into the bedroom and pointed her finger directly at his chest.
She told him that the house was no longer his home and urged him to move in with his mother.
Ethan kept his hands resting inside his pockets and refused to leave his father’s house.
Exposing the Truth
Victoria raised her voice, demanding respect and asserting her authority as his stepmother.
David walked into the open doorway, his eyes shifting between the two of them.
Victoria immediately changed her posture, claiming she had entered to have a calm conversation before Ethan became hostile.
David turned to Ethan and asked why he had shown disrespect toward his wife.
Ethan walked over to his desk, picked up his smartphone, and tapped the screen to play an audio file.
Victoria’s clear voice echoed from the phone speaker, replaying her exact threats and demands.
David looked toward Victoria, questioning how she could try to turn his own son against him.
The Final Reading of the Will
A short time later, David sat at a large desk in a law office, signing official papers beside a solicitor.
Eight months passed, and a portrait of David rested on the mantelpiece above the fireplace.
Victoria stood in the living room, telling Ethan that eight months was enough time and that he needed to leave.
The front doorbell chime rang, and Ethan opened the entrance door for Mr. Thornton, the family solicitor.
The attorney opened his brown leather briefcase on the coffee table and pulled out sealed legal documents.
He read the final wishes aloud, stating that the family home, company, and estate belonged to Ethan.
Victoria raised her hand and shouted that David had never mentioned writing a will.
Mr. Thornton held the paper steady while Victoria stood beside the coffee table with her mouth open.
