After four years of silence, my son reappeared at my doorstep not with an apology, but with a lawyer demanding I vacate my own house.
What he didn’t know was that his lawyer, my high school sweetheart, had a plan that would change everything in ways he never expected.
I hadn’t seen my son in four years. Not a single call, text, or visit.
After his father passed, he took what he wanted—my husband’s car, his watches, his money—and vanished. No goodbyes, no explanations.
Just gone.
It wasn’t always like this between us. My son, Brian, used to be a kind boy.
But everything changed after his father died. My husband had been ill for some time, and we knew it was coming, but losing him broke something in both of us.
Right after the funeral, Brian became distant.
He didn’t cry. He didn’t stay. He didn’t even ask if I was okay.
Instead, he grabbed whatever he could from his father’s belongings and disappeared. I was too heartbroken to stop him. The watches, the money, even his father’s car went with him.
