My Father Kicked Me Out of the House Because His 35-Year-Old Stepson Returned to the City and Wanted My Room – Karma Struck Back

Emma’s world was upended when her father abruptly called her home from university, only to demand she vacate her room for her reckless stepbrother. Months later, another urgent call revealed their family home in ruins, igniting a journey of redemption and rebuilding for them all.

I was deep into my biology textbook at the university library. My laptop was open, and my notes were scattered around me. The smell of coffee filled the air as I sipped from my cup, trying to stay focused. Then my phone rang, breaking my concentration.
