When Ellie’s family returns from their Christmas getaway, they’re shocked to find their house egged and a cryptic note left behind. Determined to uncover the culprit, Ellie checks the security footage, only to discover the vandal is someone very close to her. Confronting the person reveals years of hurt and manipulation that nearly tears their bond apart. Can Ellie handle it?
Christmas has always been about family. That’s why, for the last four years, my husband Ethan, our seven-year-old daughter Maddie, our five-year-old son Noah, and I had made it a tradition to escape to the islands.
Just the four of us, basking in the sun, recharging before the whirlwind of holiday dinners and social obligations hit.

And this year was no different. Or so I thought.
When we pulled into our driveway after the trip, I froze.
Our house looked like a crime scene.
Raw eggs dripped from the walls in sticky streams, the porch was littered with broken shells, and even the holiday wreath I’d lovingly crafted was a splattered, smelly mess.

“What the hell?” Ethan muttered, stepping out of the car, Noah on his heels.
“Mom, what happened?” Maddie asked from the backseat.
“I don’t know, sweetheart,” I said, feeling a knot tighten in my chest.
Noah crouched beside the mess.

“Could a bird do this, Dad?” he asked.
I tried to keep calm for the kids, but inside, I was fuming.
Who would do this?
We were good neighbors — no, we were great neighbors! I baked cookies for new families, helped organize block parties, and I never turned down a chance to lend a hand.
This wasn’t random vandalism. It was targeted. It had to be.

Then Ethan found the note. It was stuffed under the doorframe, the edges crumpled and damp. He handed it to me.
This is for what you took from me before Christmas.
I stared at the words, my mind racing.
What had I taken? And from whom?
That night, after putting the kids to bed, Ethan and I went straight to the security cameras. As we scrolled through the footage, my stomach churned.

The camera captured a hooded figure sneaking up our driveway, cartons of eggs in hand. Each throw was deliberate, as though they’d rehearsed the motion. This wasn’t a prank; it was a vendetta.
“This is insane,” Ethan said. “Who even does this anymore? This is a drunken prank for rowdy teens. Eggs and toilet paper.”
Then, something about the figure made me freeze. The way they tilted their head. The way their shoulders slumped between throws. My breath caught in my throat.

“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “It can’t be.”
But it was.
The hooded figure vandalizing our home was my mother.
The next morning, I left Ethan with the kids and drove to my mom’s house. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly I thought I might snap it in two.

When I rang the bell, she opened the door with her usual warm smile.
“Ellie! What a surprise!”
“Why?” I blurted, skipping the pleasantries. “Just explain why.”
Her smile faltered.
“Why what? Explain what?” she asked.

“Why would you do that to us? Don’t even try to hide it, Mom. Come on!”
She blinked, her face going pale as she tried to figure out what to say. Then, she looked away, her expression clouded with guilt.
“Come sit down, El,” she said.
“I don’t want to sit down, Mom. I want to know why you took it upon yourself to mess up my house.”

“It was because of your mother-in-law,” she said finally, her voice tight.
“What does Gloria have to do with it?” I asked.
“She called me, Eleanor,” my mother snapped, anger seeping into her voice. “Right before Christmas, she called to gloat about how you and Ethan were taking her on your precious island vacation. She said you made her feel so included, so special. And that she got quality time with the kids. And me? Oh, I was just left here to sit alone in the cold.”

I stared at her, completely stunned.
“Mom,” I said softly. “We didn’t take Gloria with us. That’s not true at all. She wasn’t on the trip, I promise!”
My mom’s eyes widened.
“But then… why would she say that?”
“To hurt you,” I said, my voice soft but firm. “To make you feel exactly this way. To drive a wedge between us. Why would I take Gloria and not my own mother?”

She sank onto the couch, covering her face with her hands.
“I was so angry, Ellie. I felt invisible, like I didn’t matter to you anymore. And I… I lost control.”
Her words cut deep because they weren’t entirely wrong.

If I’m being completely honest, the truth was that I had let my mom drift to the edges of our lives. I adored her, of course, but between raising two young kids, managing a full-time job, and keeping up with everything else, I hadn’t noticed how isolated she’d become.
Looking back, the signs were there. The hesitation in her voice during phone calls, the way she’d stopped dropping by unannounced, usually with baked treats for us all.
I’d let my schedule get away with me. And I hadn’t thought about the consequences.

“Mom,” I said gently, sitting beside her. “What you did was wrong. But I understand why you felt hurt. And I’m sorry if I made you feel left out. I’ve let life get away with me, Momma. It’s been a challenge, juggling work and the kids.”
Her face crumpled.
“I’m so sorry, Ellie,” she said. “I’ll fix everything! I promise! I’ll pay for the cleaning, and I’ll do whatever you need me to do.”

“We’ll clean it up, Mom,” I interrupted. “Together. But it starts with us fixing us. No more games. No more letting other people’s words twist how we feel. Okay?”
She nodded, her relief palpable. We hugged, and for the first time in years, it felt like the walls between us were finally coming down.
That afternoon, Mom came over with a bucket of soapy water and a stack of rags. Together, we scrubbed the egg off the walls, the porch, and the windows.

It was messy, smelly, exhausting work, but somehow, with each streak we wiped away, it felt like we were wiping away years of tension too.
By the time we finished, the house looked — and felt — whole again.
That night, after Ethan and I made grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids and put them to bed, we sat down to talk with a glass of wine.

“Babe, it was your mom that started this whole thing. Gloria called my mom and told her that she was on vacation with us and was having the time of her life. She made it seem so real that my mom broke.”
“You’re kidding, El,” Ethan said, shaking his head. “She really did that? What on earth was she thinking?”
“I have no idea, but I think you need to talk to her. I need to focus on my mom, honey. She’s been feeling abandoned for years, and this was just her breaking point. I’m sorry, but Gloria is on you.”

“I’ll call her,” Ethan said, his voice firm. “She’ll have no choice but to tell me the truth.”
Ethan went into our bedroom and called his mother, while I called my mom again.
“Mom, why don’t you come over to celebrate New Year’s Eve with us? We’re just going to be at home, okay? Let’s just eat and drink and have a good time!”

There was a pause on the other end of the line. Then her voice brightened in a way I hadn’t heard in a long time.
“You really mean that?” she asked.
“I do, Mom,” I said. “It’s time.”
On New Year’s Eve, Mom arrived with a tray of homemade dumplings, a chocolate cake, and lamingtons for the kids. She was wearing a sparkling dress that made her look about ten years younger.

Maddie and Noah rushed to greet her at the door, clinging to her legs as she fussed over them. Ethan handed her a glass of champagne and even managed to make her laugh with one of his notoriously terrible jokes.
At midnight, as the fireworks lit up the sky outside, we raised our glasses together.
“Cheers to new beginnings,” my mom said softly.

I looked around the room — at my kids’ happy, sleepy faces, my husband’s arm draped around my shoulders, and my mother, glowing with joy. Something shifted.
A week later, Ethan and I sat down with Gloria at a coffee shop.
“Mom, explain yourself,” Ethan said, adding sugar to his coffee. “And don’t deny anything. Be honest.”

“I lied to your mother because I was hurt that you guys didn’t invite us. I don’t know why I did it, but I did. I think I felt overcome with loneliness too. You know how the holidays can creep up on widows…”
“Why didn’t you just go over and spend time with her?” I asked, taking a bite of my croissant. “You were both lonely. You could have spent time together and enjoyed the holidays getting to know each other better. You could have watched movies and baked and talked until the early hours of the morning.”

“I wasn’t thinking, Ellie,” she said, her voice breaking. “I would take it all back in a heartbeat if I could, I promise you that.”
We were all silent for a while.
“So, now what?” Ethan asked.
“I’m going to phone Irene and make things right. I’m going to plan a tea party with her and make this better. We’ll fix it. Just you see.”

“I hope so, Gloria,” I said. “Because we can’t have the kids torn between their grandmothers. I’m not going to allow that.”
“As you should!” she exclaimed. “I wouldn’t allow it either. I’ll fix it, Ellie. Don’t you worry about that, love.”
In the end, we left our mothers to themselves, and slowly but surely, they did fix their relationship. Now, they are mahjong buddies who bake something new every weekend.
And for the record, I can’t stand eggs anymore.

1. I Inherited Grandma’s Old Clocks & My Greedy Brother Got the House
I adored my grandma, Marlene, more than anything. Until a year ago, I’d lived with her, sharing her cozy little house filled with her collection of old clocks and stories. She was my safe haven and my biggest fan.
But last year, I had to move away because of college.
One evening, I got a call from her. Her voice sounded soft and frail.

“Linda, sweetheart, could you come over? I don’t think I have much time left,” she said, almost in a whisper.
My heart sank. “Oh, Granny, don’t talk like that! I’ll apply for leave right away and be there in a couple of days. Don’t you worry, okay?”
When I arrived at her house three days later, my brother Brian was already there. He was a few years older than me, with a sharp edge to his personality.
I immediately rushed to hug her upon entering the house.
“I’m here, Grandma,” I whispered, feeling an ache in my heart.

“Oh, my sweet girl,” she smiled, looking so tired yet so happy.
Meanwhile, Brian glanced around with a frown.
“At least you could have kept the house clean, Grandma. It’s so… dusty,” he muttered, brushing an imaginary speck off his shoulder.
Oh please, Brian! I thought. Grandma needs care, not criticism.
I just rolled my eyes and ignored him because I didn’t want to create a scene in front of Grandma.
A few minutes later, she sat us down in her small living room and handed each of us an envelope.

Inside was $5,000.
“Linda, Brian, I wanted to give you both something,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
I took her hand. “Granny, you didn’t have to do this. I’m here to spend time with you, not for money.”
Brian, on the other hand, scowled. “Is this all I get? Seriously?”
Before Grandma could respond, he stormed outside, slamming the door behind him.
He’s crazy, I thought.

I stayed by her side over the next few days, cleaning the house, cooking fresh meals, and fixing things up. She had been living on stale food, and there were cracks and leaks that hadn’t been tended to in years.
“You don’t have to do so much, Linda. I don’t want to take up all your time and money,” she said, shaking her head as I patched a leak.
I grinned, holding her hand. “Grandma, I know how much you’ve always wanted Grandpa’s house to feel like home again. I had some savings, so I thought, why not? Are you happy now, Grandma? Is this how you remember it with Grandpa?”

“Oh, Linda,” she smiled as tears trickled down her cheeks. “Yes. Yes, it’s beautiful. Thank you.”
Then, one quiet morning, I found her peacefully gone in her sleep. The house felt hollow without her laughter and warmth.
Meanwhile, Brian didn’t even come to the funeral. It hurt me deeply, but I tried to focus on honoring her memory.
Two weeks later, we were called to the lawyer’s office for the reading of her will. Brian and I sat in silence as the lawyer began.

“Brian,” he announced, “you have been left the house.”
Brian smirked, clearly pleased. He always had his eyes on the house.
Then, the lawyer turned to me, smiling gently. “Linda, your grandmother left you her clocks.”
“The… clocks?” I asked, feeling a bit deflated.
He handed me five old, rusty clocks, each with a dull patina. My face flushed with embarrassment as Brian snickered.
But then the lawyer handed me an envelope.

“Your grandmother loved you more than anyone, Linda,” he said softly.
Curious, I opened the envelope. The note inside was in Grandma’s handwriting:
Linda, never underestimate these rusty old clocks!
They are 100-year-old classic timepieces that belonged to your grandfather. Each piece is crafted from rare, exquisite metal and worth about $40,000!
Everyone gets what they truly deserve, my dear. I’m glad you got only the best.
With all my love, Granny Marlene.
My heart raced as I read her words.

“She left nearly $200,000 hidden in these seemingly worn-out clocks,” the lawyer smiled.
I looked at the clocks as tears blurred my vision. Meanwhile, Brian rose from his seat.
“What? Those things are worth that much?” he asked, his face pale.
I smiled through my tears. “Yes, Brian. Grandma knew exactly what she was doing.”
I clutched one of the clocks close to my chest, and felt as its rhythm synced with my heartbeat. It felt almost as if Grandma was still with me.
Thank you, Grandma, I thought as I walked out of the office with her beloved clocks. Thank you for giving me a piece of your heart to carry forever.

2. Grandma’s Will Left Me Nothing Until I Discovered Her Secret Plan
My grandma was everything to me. Growing up, I spent every free moment on her farm, learning the rhythm of the land and the needs of the animals. I enjoyed everything from feeding the chickens to watching the crops grow.
Meanwhile, my sister, Felicity, only visited the farm to click beautiful photos for her social media.
So, when Grandma passed, it felt like a piece of me went with her. Losing her so suddenly was a shock I wasn’t ready for.

Shortly after her passing, I got a call from her lawyer. “Diana, we’re reading the will tomorrow at noon. You and Felicity need to be there.”
My heart pounded as I arrived at his office, Felicity already seated with her typical annoyed expression.
The lawyer cleared his throat, then handed me an envelope. It was a letter from Grandma.

My dearest Diana,
If you’re reading this, the time has come for a choice. I know you love this farm, and it has been a part of you as much as it was of me. But I needed to be sure that its true caretaker would emerge. I have left the farm to Felicity, but I have also granted you the right to live here as long as you wish.
As long as you remain on the farm, it cannot be sold. Please be patient, my dear. The second part of my will shall be revealed in three months.
Love,
Grandma.

I swallowed hard, confusion mixing with pain. Why didn’t she leave the farm to me outright? Didn’t she trust me?
Still, I respected her wishes and resolved to stay on the farm. Felicity, of course, had other plans.
“Diana,” she sneered the following week, waving a check in my face. “Why don’t you just take this and leave? You can’t live out here forever.”
I shook my head. “This is what Grandma wanted. I’m staying.”

“Get over it, Diana!” she snapped. “Go home!”
Her frustration turned into an all-out war a few days later when the farmhouse caught fire. I stood there, helpless, as flames devoured my memories.
Jack, the farm’s caretaker, held my arm to steady me. “It’s okay, Diana. We can rebuild.”
“But the house… everything’s gone,” I cried.
A few hours later, Jack and I saw Felicity hovering near the wreckage. She seemed too pleased for someone who lost a major part of her property.
A woman smiling | Source: Midjourney
“What are you doing here?” I asked. “When did you come?”
“I just… arrived,” she stammered. “But, uh, the house is gone. So what’s left here for you, Diana?”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“You should leave before you lose your job over this obsession!”
“I won’t leave,” I replied. “I’m not going anywhere.”
A woman talking to her sister | Source: Midjourney
Jack took me aside afterward, gently nudging me to consider leaving, but I couldn’t. Grandma’s memory was tied to every inch of that farm.
Understanding my stubbornness, Jack kindly offered me a room at his house, which was nearby.
I spent the next few months living there, visiting the farm every day. Even after I lost my job, all I cared about was keeping Grandma’s legacy alive.
When three months finally passed, the lawyer called us in again to read the second part of the will.
I took a deep breath as the lawyer opened a sealed envelope and began to read aloud.
“My dear Felicity and Diana,” he began.
A lawyer in his office | Source: Pexels
“If you’re hearing this, the time has come for the farm to find its true guardian. Felicity, I know this may come as a surprise, but I always intended for the farm to belong to the one who truly cares for it. As far as I know, Diana has taken responsibility for managing the farm, so if no one objects…”
Felicity’s face paled. She cut him off, shouting, “This is ridiculous! Diana burned down the house! She’s a failure!”
But Jack, who had accompanied me, stood up calmly.

“I think it’s time we tell the truth,” he said, handing the lawyer a receipt. “I saw Felicity near the farm on the day of the fire. She was seen purchasing gasoline from the local store that afternoon.”
The lawyer looked over the receipt, then leveled a firm gaze at Felicity. “This evidence suggests otherwise, Ms. Felicity.”
“That’s not true,” she lied, but she couldn’t hide the truth for too long.
“Fine! Yes, it was me!” she snapped and then looked at me. “Somebody had to help her move on!”
A woman looking straight ahead | Source: Midjourney
“You’ll have to face some legal consequences for your actions, Ms. Felicity,” the lawyer said.
Then, he turned to me and said, “Diana, the farm is now officially yours.”
I stood there with eyes wide open as I realized what Grandma had done. She had known all along.
By giving Felicity control with conditions, she had drawn out Felicity’s true nature, leaving the farm in the hands of the person who would care for it.

3. I Was Upset That My Grandfather Only Left Me an Old Apiary until I Looked into the Beehives
When I was fifteen, my grandfather, David, passed away. I was devastated. I never thought my loving, wise Grandpa, who had raised me with Aunt Daphne, would leave me so soon.
He’d always been there, filling our home with stories, patience, and life lessons I’d only half-listened to. Losing him left a hole I couldn’t understand, and a part of me expected his will might hold some comfort.

At the reading, my older brother, Richard, inherited nearly a million dollars.
I felt my heart sink when the lawyer only handed me an envelope. Inside was a letter from Grandpa.
My dearest Chloe,
I know you might feel let down, but please hear me out. I’m leaving you my apiary with al the beehives I’ve spent years tending to. It may not seem like much now, but trust me, you’ll see its true value in time. With patience and care, it will teach you things far more valuable than money.
With all my love,
Grandpa.

“An apiary?” I muttered.
The impatient teenager that I was couldn’t understand why Grandpa wanted me to have that old collection of beehives.
Days passed, and I ignored the apiary. I shrugged it off whenever Aunt Daphne nudged me to check on it.
I couldn’t be bothered, especially with a dozen other things on my mind.
Finally, Aunt Daphne put her foot down.
“You’re grounded, young lady!” she declared one evening.
“Grounded?” I asked. “For what?”

“For shirking responsibility,” she replied, her eyes narrowing. “Your grandpa wanted this for you, Chloe. It’s about responsibility, not bees.”
“But Aunt Daphne, I’m scared of getting stung!” I protested.
“You’ll have protective gear,” she replied. “A little fear is normal, but you can’t let it stop you.”
Reluctantly, I went to the apiary, wearing thick gloves and a bee suit, feeling ridiculous and slightly terrified. As I opened the first hive, I was hit with the sweet scent of honey.

I hesitated, but Aunt Daphne’s words about responsibility echoed in my mind. Slowly, I started harvesting the honey, trying not to flinch when a bee buzzed too close.
Then, as I lifted a hive frame, I noticed a weather-beaten plastic bag tucked inside.
What’s this? I thought.

I quickly took it out and found a faded, hand-drawn map with strange markings. I immediately recognized Grandpa’s handwriting on it.
Curiosity trumped fear, and I followed the map, leading me through a small wooded area behind our house.

I stumbled over roots, swatted at mosquitoes, and nearly tripped a few times. Each time, Grandpa’s voice floated through my thoughts.
“Stay calm, Chloe. Rushing never gets you where you need to go.”
Taking a deep breath, I pressed on, eventually finding an old shed nestled among the trees.
Inside, there was another note pinned to a rickety shelf. It read, Almost there, Chloe. This journey’s about patience. Go to the bridge.
I shook my head, smiling at Grandpa’s persistence.

Crossing the fields toward the bridge, I found myself navigating muddy patches and thorns snagging at my clothes.
“Hard work’s nothing to fear,” Grandpa had always said. “The best things come to those who put in the effort.”
At last, I reached the bridge. There, I found a small box under a loose plank. My hands trembled as I opened it.
Inside the box was a photograph of Grandpa and me, beaming, holding a bottle of honey we’d harvested years ago.
Next to it was a small note.

It read:
Dear Chloe,
The greatest gifts in life aren’t things. They’re the lessons we learn, the patience we build, and the love we share. I wanted you to understand that wealth isn’t just money. It’s in hard work, patience, and caring for something. Thank you for following through. Our house, and the bees, they’re a part of you.
With all my love,
Grandpa.
I clutched the note as I finally understood why Grandpa left the apiary for me.

All this time, he had known exactly what I needed, far beyond any amount of money. Grandpa had set this up to show me a path that would stay with me forever.
When I returned to the house, Aunt Daphne was waiting. I told her everything, and she gave me a gentle smile.
“I knew he’d leave you a treasure hunt,” she said softly, pulling me into a hug. “He wanted you to see the true value of his gift.”

I promised Aunt Daphne I’d look after the bees from then on.
And now, years later, I’m still here, tending Grandpa’s apiary. The lessons he left me are ingrained in every hive and honeycomb.
My little boy, Ben, often joins me and excitedly peeks into the hives. His favorite part is when we fill the honey jars together.
Grandpa taught me more than I ever imagined, and now I’m passing those lessons down.
