The journal revealed Daniel had been working a second job cleaning sewers at night, saving every penny to provide for me after his death. He sacrificed his health to give back what he thought he’d taken from me.

- I Inherited a Run-down House from My Father and Uncovered His Double Life
I sat in shock as the lawyer read my parents’ will. My sister Hazel inherited the family mansion, while I got a run-down house.
“Your parents knew we were starting a family,” her fiancé Mark smugly said. “Freddy’s always been a traveler—he doesn’t need a big house.”
Feeling slighted, I moved into the old house, determined to make the best of it. While remodeling, I discovered a hidden trapdoor leading to a dark basement. Inside, I found my father’s desk, covered with poems and the manuscript of a novel—a love story between two men.
The father I had known as strict and conventional had hidden his life as a poet and writer, possibly out of shame. He had left me the house, hoping I’d uncover his secret self and share it with the world.
I called Hazel, and together we published his novel, honoring the father we finally understood. His secret legacy brought us closer and gave us peace.

Months passed in silence until Stacey fell ill and needed financial help. I stepped in without hesitation, and she eventually forgave me. We reconciled, realizing that family is about more than just blood—it’s about love and care.
