She Chose Her Nephew Over Her Own Daughter ,Now She's Begging Me to Stay

Five years ago, my father died in a sudden car accident. The insurance company paid out $2.3 million. My mother kept $100,000 for herself and gave the remaining $2.2 million—every last cent—to her nephew.

She looked me in the eye, her tone heavy with meaning. "You'll get married eventually. Once a daughter marries, she belongs to someone else's family. I gave the money to your cousin so he can look after me in my old age. You need to understand."

I didn't say a word. The next morning, I packed my bags and left to find work. I didn't come home once in five years.
