April always loved flowers, but her husband John and his family mocked her gardening dream, calling it an “embarrassing hobby.” They urged her to stick to her office job, insisting flowers would never make money. Ignoring their ridicule, April planted her first seeds, worked tirelessly after hours, and slowly built “April’s Garden,” an online flower shop.
The first year was tough, but April kept learning and improving. By the second year, business grew, with steady orders for weddings and special occasions. Then, almost overnight, demand exploded, and April began making real profit. That’s when John suddenly demanded half, claiming it was his house and his soil that made her success possible. Soon his whole family, once her harshest critics, began calling it a “family business” and insisted they deserved a share.
April was stunned. The same people who once laughed at her now wanted to cash in. Tired of the endless arguments, she took her profits, got a small business loan, and bought her own commercial property under her name. When John realized he was shut out, he accused her of betrayal, but April stood firm—reminding him that he dismissed her dream until it became profitable.
Six months later, April’s Garden is thriving more than ever. She employs staff, pays off her loan, and enjoys her independence. John and his family still hover, hoping for a cut, but April refuses. She knows now that success belongs to those who believed from the start—and in her case, that was no one but herself.
