My Aunt Kicked Me Out of My Childhood Home After My Parents Died – Just as I Left Crying, a Black Limo Pulled Up

The lawyer cleared his throat. “According to the will, the house will be passed on to Ms. Dina.”
I blinked. “I’m sorry, what?”
Dina smiled like a cat who just ate the canary. “You heard him.”
“That’s not possible,” I said, my voice shaking. “My parents would never—she hated my mom. She barely spoke to us.”
The lawyer shifted uncomfortably. “This is what’s documented. The will appears to be valid and signed.”

I felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. “There has to be a mistake.”
“There’s no mistake,” Dina said, leaning back like she owned the place already. “It’s my house now.”
I left the office numb, replaying every memory of my parents, trying to figure out how this could have happened. I kept hoping someone would call me and say it was a clerical error. No one did.
Two days later, she came knocking.

I opened the front door in pajamas and fuzzy socks. She didn’t even bother with small talk.
“You’ve got one day to pack up and get out,” she said, crossing her arms. “I want the place cleaned up before I move in.”
My heart dropped. “Dina, I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
She shrugged. “Not my problem.”
“I’m your niece.”
“Correction,” she said, stepping past me like she owned the floor. “I’m your landlord. And I want you out.”
