Serenity’s grandmom had quite the temper and a vile mouth.
Not many in the community had the guts to step on the grandmother’s toes.
The sisters were also not welcomed to visit their parents’ graves or look into the parents’ will under the excuse that they were young.
In fact, the grandparents took the liberty to name one of the sisters’ cousins as the adopted son of their deceased parents.
Under such circumstances , Serenity and Liberty had no reason to come home.
If Serenity remembered correctly, the so-called adopted son was John.
The grandparents did so for John to take over the house, land, and farm left behind by Serenity’sparents.
Zachary was a stranger in the rural area while many did not recognize Serenity as it had been a while since she was back.
It gave Serenity full access to take photos of her uncles’ residences.
Back then, her grandparents took her parents’ insurance money and split it between the uncles.
The uncles used the money to build new houses and start businesses.
Life could not get any better for them.
Now, the uncles lived in their standalone villas.
They had the most lavish lives in the community.
Setting foot back in the place she once called home, Serenity stood at the gate and stared at the house built by her parents.
Memories of her parents flooded her mind and filled her chest with suffocating despair.
There was a catch in her throat as tears in her eyes glistened against the light.
Zachary stood not too far behind and watched her quietly.
Knowing that she was on an emotional roller coaster, Zachary had the sudden urge to offer her comfortand a shoulder to cry on.
Time passed.
An old lady was walking by when she caught sight of Serenity.
She stopped for a closer look before exclaiming in joy, “Are you…”
Serenity swiftly wiped away her tears before turning to look at the lady. Serenity immediately recognized her.” You must be Mrs.Deli.” The lady was one of Mom’s close friends when Mom was still alive.
“It’s me.You came back.”
Mrs.Deli was very friendly toward Serenity.
“Do you want to come by my place for a catch-up?”
She looked at the house and said to Serenity,”I heard your grandmother is sick and getting treatment at a hospital in the city.
Your grandfather and your uncles made quite the fuss when sending your grandmother there.
They all took their cars.
People might mistake them for going to some wedding or holiday.
“I’ve never seen them so proactive , but somehow, they were very zealous the moment your grandmother fell sick.They were just putting on a show for us.” Mrs.Deli had no idea about the tweet online since she was without internet.
The viral tweet had not been up for a few hours, so it had not spread far and wide yet.
“Mrs.Deli, do they usually ignore my grandparents?”
“They only visit your grandparents during the holidays.Your grandfather has a pension and some money left from your parents’ insurance.Your grandparents have nothing to worry about.I heard they have a savings of four hundred thousand dollars.Mrs.
pointed at the villas and said, “Those villas belong to your uncles.They’re the richest people in our community.Your grandfather loves boasting about his children and grandchildren..
“If it wasn’t for…Is this your boyfriend?”
Mrs.Deli believed Serenity’s uncles only had everything going for them because the grandparents took half the insurance money and split it with their sons without any regard for Serenity and Liberty who had just lost their parents.
Only then, the uncles had the funds and means to build their careers.
All the relatives now own assets worth over a million.
It was a contrast to Serenity and Liberty who lost their parents and home.It had been a while since Mrs.Deli heard from the sisters.
Now that Serenity was back, Mrs.Deli was happy and felt bad for her, but what could Mrs.Deli do about it? “This is my husband, Zachary.” Mrs.Deli uttered in delight, “Oh, you’re married? When?”
“We recently got our marriage license, but the reception hasn’t happened yet.”
“I see.Your parents would be happy to see you married.Sigh.Your parents were such nice people but left before their time.Your relatives really took advantage of you and your sister.I’ve been waiting for justice to prevail.They should get what they deserve for all the bad they’ve done.”
It was a shame that karma never struck back.
Zachary gave Mrs.Deli a nod as a greeting before pulling out his phone to tap on the voice recording function.
He had secretly recorded the conversation between Mrs.Deli and Serenity.
With Mrs.Deli extending a warm invitation, the couple went to her place and stayed for dinner.
After dinner, Mrs.
Deli whispered to Serenity, “I’m relieved that you and Liberty are doing fine now.You must be careful not to let your grandparents know about it.Your grandmother is sick.I think it’s the early stage of liver cancer.The surgery probably costs a lot of money.
“Knowing them, they will be shameless enough to make you and Liberty pay for it, even though they have more money.
“Back then, your grandparents said you didn’t have to help them with the cost of living if you split them half of the insurance money.Besides, your grandmother is blessed with a lot of children.You girls shouldn’t be forking out the money for her medical bills.
“Your parents were still at the morgue when they seized a share of the blood money and hogged your house and land.They wouldn’t even take you in or let you visit your parents’ grave.Don’t feel bad for not footing your grandmother’s medical expenses.”
As a close friend to Serenity’s mother, Mrs.Deli was aware of the events at the time.
Once the uncles got their hands on the cash, they wanted no part in the funeral since Serenity’s parents died in a gruesome car crash.Her uncles either feigned sickness or made up some sort of excuse to evade the responsibility.
It was the mayor who had to step in and give the family a telling-off.
A remarkable read….
