Even after George’s death, Mariana clung to his memory—sleeping with his shirt and hearing his voice in quiet moments. But her stepdaughter Susan’s betrayal hurt more than the loss itself. Once loving and close, Susan turned cold, disappearing during George’s illness and even skipping his funeral. Six months later, she returned—not to mourn, but to demand all of George’s assets.
Mariana was shocked when Susan showed up with her husband and legal papers, insisting everything be transferred to her. The woman Mariana once called her daughter now saw her as nothing more than an obstacle. Hurt and furious, Mariana refused and kicked them out. But the harassment didn’t stop—until Mariana gave in and handed over exactly what Susan asked for.
Susan expected wealth and property but instead got just $3,000 and an old Mustang. The rest? Legally, it had all been transferred to Mariana by George years ago. Outraged, Susan screamed betrayal—but Mariana calmly reminded her: she got her father’s leftovers, and Mariana kept what was truly hers.
In the end, Mariana sold everything, moved to her dream home, and embraced freedom. Susan tried to fight in court and later begged to meet, but Mariana had nothing left to give. Her peace was hard-earned—and she wasn’t going to lose it again.
