My husband, Thomas Lewis, had late-stage pancreatic cancer, so he made a will splitting his assets equally among his children. I agreed without hesitation. We'd been married fifteen years and had one daughter, Emily. But "children" also meant the bastard son he'd fathered with his mistress, Jessica Stone. The moment Thomas died, I took back the house and car he'd given Jessica and her son, and I froze her bank accounts. Thomas's father, Jack, showed up at my door with Jessica and the boy, ready for war. I stared at them and smiled. Thomas said his assets would go to his children, but he never said anything about leaving them to his brother.
