My Wife Left Me with Our 6 Daughters for Her Rich B0ss 15 Years Later, She Showed up at Our Oldest Daughter’s Wedding, but What Our Daughter Did Next Left Everyon
When I texted my family, “Don’t invite us again. We are not your joke anymore,” I expected anger. I didn’t expect terror.
During my daughter’s baby shower, I walked in to find her on her hands and knees scrubbing spilled wine off the rug.
I found them sleeping on a marble bench inside my bank—one exhausted mother and a six-year-old girl hugging a torn rabbit.
The School’s Most Beautiful Girl Invited Me to Prom While Everyone Else Teased Me for My Looks – 20 Years Later, She Didn’t Recognize Me, and What I Did Changed Her Life
“Get out of the apartment. My son has decided that our family will live here,” her mother-in-law announced to the owner of her own apartment. “Get out of the apartment. My son has decided that our family will live here,” Galina Petrovna announced, crossing the threshold as if she were going to collect the keys to her own home. Alena slowly set her cup on the kitchen counter and looked first at her mother-in-law, then at Maxim. Her husband stood behind his mother, holding a briefcase, avoiding direct eye contact. It was a hot July day, the balcony door was slightly ajar, and a warm wind and the smell of burning asphalt wafted from the courtyard. “Say it again,” Alena said calmly. “No drama. Short and concise.” Galina Petrovna smiled. “What’s there to say? Roman and the children are homeless. You have a three-room apartment. You don’t need all this space.” You and Maxim will live with me, while Roman and the children will stay here. “Maksim,” Alyona turned to her husband. “Did this idea just pop up, or have you already shared my apartment without me?” Maksim ran a hand over the back of his neck. “Alyona, don’t be so hostile right away. The situation is complicated. Roma is divorced, the children are small. Mom’s right, we have the means to help you.” “We?” Alyona nodded slightly. “That’s an interesting word. What do you have in this apartment besides a toothbrush, a laptop, and the habit of staying silent when your mother is rude?” Galina Petrovna blushed. “How do you address older people?” “Like the people who came to my house and asked me to leave. For now, politely.” My mother-in-law entered the kitchen uninvited and placed her bag on a chair. Maksim followed her. Alyona realized she was clutching her briefcase too tightly. So they hadn’t just come to chat. They had prepared. This intrigued her. “Let’s not make a fuss,” Maksim said. “We’re related. I mean… blood relatives. Roman is my brother. He’s not a stranger.” Alyona raised an eyebrow. “You almost said something I wouldn’t have liked. Good thing you held back.” “Are you kidding?” “No. I’m doing the math.” Galina Petrovna put her hand abruptly on the table. “What damage? There are children here! Don’t you have a shred of conscience?” Alyona looked at his hand, then at his face. “I have the deed to the property, an extract from the Unified State Property Register. We didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement because I bought the apartment before the wedding and no one will share it. I also have a contract with a security company and a camera in the hallway.” And I use my conscience for the purpose it was created for, not as a substitute for documents.Maxim finally looked up. “You’re reducing everything to paperwork.” “Because you came here not with a request, but with the intention of taking it over. Requests are worded differently. For example, ‘Alena, Roman is in trouble, can we talk about temporary help?’ not ‘Leave the apartment.'” Galina Petrovna waved her hand. “I knew you were greedy. I always knew it. You’re stuck in three rooms, a single housewife, and your husband’s family lives in rented apartments.” “Roman is an adult. Since he was left homeless after the divorce, we need to figure out what he signed, who he left what to, and why he didn’t think of the children first. But that doesn’t turn my apartment into a refuge for those who have suffered from their own stupidity.” Maxim moved closer. “Don’t you dare talk about your brother like that.” “Then don’t bring his problems to me.” Alyona stood up. She wasn’t tall, but she held her back so straight that Maxim, standing beside her, suddenly looked like an insecure boy. She wore a simple linen dress, her hair tied back, and a serene expression. Only the fingers she used to pick up the phone moved with exquisite precision. “What are you doing?” her mother-in-law asked, worried. “I’m recording the conversation. So no one can say I kicked my poor mother out of the house for no reason.” Maxim went pale. “Alyona, stop it. It’s too much.” “There’s too much talk about Roman moving behind my back.” She started recording and turned the phone over. Please tell me again who exactly decided I should leave the apartment. Galina Petrovna lowered her chin, but quickly regained her composure. “No one will kick you out. You’ll come live with me.” I have a two-room apartment, there’s plenty of room. “I won’t move in with you.” “Then you’ll rent the apartment.” Alyona gave a short, humorless laugh. “Should I rent an apartment for my brother-in-law to live in?” “Temporarily!” Maksim interjected. “For a year, maybe two. Until he gets used to it.” “And then he’ll get used to it, the children will get used to it, you’ll say the move won’t shock them, your mother will start yelling that you’re not a sensitive person, and I’ll point out the obvious. No.” Maksim clutched his briefcase. “You don’t even have to think about it.” “I already thought about it. When you were coming here, you tried to pressure me. But I think faster.” Galina Petrovna snorted. “You think you’re too important.” “But I know exactly who owns the apartment.” Alyona took the briefcase from Maksim before he could speak.Can we talk about temporary help?’ Not ‘Leave the apartment.'” Galina Petrovna waved her hand. “I knew you were greedy.
