Here’s a much shorter version that keeps the emotional core and plot intact:
Megan drove through morning sunlight, exhausted and grief-stricken—two weeks had passed since her husband Tom’s death. Her kids argued in the backseat, unaware of the loss she carried. At school drop-off, her son Eli lingered, sadness in his eyes. “We’re gonna be okay,” she told him, even though she wasn’t sure.
Later, at a law office, Megan learned the unthinkable: Tom had left everything to his lawyer, Jennifer Green—who coldly admitted he’d loved her. Devastated and betrayed, Megan returned home only to be told they had seven days to vacate. That night, while packing Tom’s things, she found a hidden letter from him—and a second, real will.
In it, Tom left everything to Megan and the kids.
Armed with the truth, Megan hired a tough local attorney. Jennifer’s lies were exposed; she lost her license and faced charges. Megan reclaimed the house, the savings, and her peace.
On a quiet Sunday, with her kids laughing in the yard, Megan sat on the porch. Life had changed, but she had held her family together.
