She wanted the summer house on the lake. She wanted the vintage car collection. She wanted the family heirlooms. Her palms were sweating; her teeth were clenched.

“Are you sure about this?” she asked, her voice sharp. She felt a burning need for control, a desire to cling to the things she felt entitled to. She couldn't comprehend losing her birthright.
