Alice, a single mom of two daughter, met Nicholas when she was at the lowest point in her life. It didn’t take long before they fell for one another and tied the knot. Having been divorced and having an estranged son, Nicholas filled in the role of a fatherly figure for the girls and raised them as his own.
Life seemed perfect. Years passed by and Alice’s daughters got married and had their own families.
Nicholas was always present in their lives. What’s most, he was the perfect granddad to one of his stepdaughter’s children.
Over the years, he never spoke to his ex-wife and barely connected with his son, Nick Jr.
One time, he and Nick got into a quarrel and Nick called his father names. He refused to have any contact with Nicholas, and Nicholas seemed to have come to terms with the harsh reality.
Alice and Nicholas’ marriage resembled a fairy tale. They got along perfectly and were happy by each other side. But that was until a “faithful” decision changed it all.
Out of the blue, Nicholas informed Alice one night that he had changed his will and was leaving everything to his son once his passes away. That included the huge house he and Alice lived in and all his savings. This came as a shock to Alice. Nicholas was perfectly healthy, so why would he even think about dying.
This meant that in case of his passing, Alice was going to be both homeless and penniless. She was both angered and disappointed. She and Nicholas had been together for over 20 years. How could he do something like that to her.
Devastated, Alice contacted her daughter Darlene, telling her about Nicholas’ will. Darlene was as stunned as her mother. She said she didn’t expect her stepdad to leave anything to her and her sister, but her mom had the right to that house as much as Nicholas.
Darlene then called her sister Rosaline, and they both agreed that their stepdad’s decision was wrong on so many levels.
They advised their mother to talk to Nicholas and try to make him change his mind, but Alice knew her husband all too well and knew she couldn’t influence his choices. Yet, she spoke to him again, but to no avail.
That night, she took some of her belongings and went to Rosaline’s place. No matter how hard it was, the three decided to take Nicholas to court and overturn his will.
Eventually, he decided to sell the house and give Alice half the money. She also received a portion of his savings but never saw him again. According to her, Nicholas never truly considered her and her daughters his family.
