For almost twenty years, my ex and I shared a life built on companionship and mutual respect, even without marriage or children. We believed our love was enough—until I discovered his betrayal. Heartbroken, I walked away, and he soon married the woman he’d been seeing. Time passed, and I found happiness again with someone new. When I unexpectedly became pregnant, my partner and I embraced the journey with joy and hope for the future.
My ex never truly let go. His occasional messages went unanswered as I protected my peace. When he learned I had a daughter, his anger resurfaced, and our last exchange ended painfully. Months later, news of his sudden passing reached me. The shock was followed by confusion when a solicitor contacted me: my ex had left me the majority of his estate, despite having a wife and a child on the way.
