Inheritance battles can be messy, but this one takes the cake! A 27-year-old man found himself in the middle of a family feud after discovering that his late father, who had an affair with his mother, left him the majority of his fortune. His half-siblings, products of his father’s marriage, are now demanding their share of the inheritance, claiming they’re owed it for the trouble the affair caused in their lives. But our protagonist sees this money as a chance to improve his life. Will he give in to their demands, or stand his ground?
