Sophie had always been focused on her career, but her grandmother Evelyn had something else in mind. During a family gathering at Evelyn’s grand old house, the matriarch made an unexpected announcement: Sophie must marry within a month or risk being cut out of Evelyn’s will, which was to be finalized by her 70th birthday.
The news hit Sophie like a ton of bricks. Her face went pale, and a heavy silence followed Evelyn’s proclamation. “Grandma, you can’t be serious,” Sophie whispered, but Evelyn’s resolve was unshakable.
“I am serious, Sophie. I cannot leave my legacy to someone who doesn’t honor our family traditions.”
Frustrated and feeling unfairly treated, Sophie stormed out of the house, her emotions swirling.
