Eleanor thought of the silver tea set, the antique pocket watches, the inherited shares of stock. She envisioned herself in control, the heir to the family's legacy. Her chest felt constricted, as if someone had tightened a band around it.

“But what about the family trust?” Eleanor asked, her voice wavering. She couldn't allow such losses. The thought of losing all of that wealth made her skin crawl.
