In-law relationships can be difficult to navigate. Often, both sides feel the pressure of balancing respect for each other while protecting their boundaries. The truth is that these relationships require patience and open communication.
From the very first moment Liliya met her mother-in-law, it was obvious the elderly woman didn’t like her. She believed Liliya wasn’t good enough for her son, Igor.
He was an engineer, and Liliya seemed to be just an ordinary manager at the mall located at the city’s outskirts. Often, Liliya’s mother-in-law, Alla Sergeevna Voronova, would tell her son to leave his wife because she wasn’t worthy of his love.
These words hurt Liliya, but her love for Igor was so big that she felt like she needed to endure everything.
What neither Alla nor Igor knew was that the shopping mall where Liliya worked belonged to her parents. They also owned a number of apartments around the city.
Following their passing, it was Liliya who inherited everything.
So, one day, when Alla said she was looking for a place to rent, Liliya knew she had to put her plan to teach her MIL a lesson into action.
It wasn’t long before Liliya ran her fingers through the lines of the lease agreement. Alla never assumed she would be paying rent to the daughter-in-law she disliked so much. The deal was done through a real-estate agency so that Alla never suspected anything.
Time passed by before Alla failed to pay her rent on time. It was then that Liliya sent her an eviction notice. She somehow felt sorry for her MIL because she was her husband’s mom, but she knew Alla deserved it.
However, as she felt the pressure of her secret too big, she decided to tell Igor everything before she sent the notice. She explained to him that her parents were wealthy people and that she owned a business and several estates. Among the rest, she confessed that she also owned the apartment his mother rented.
Igor was confused, and even mad, but once Liliya explained her reasons, he said he understood her. Then, it was about time Alla also learn the truth.
Needless to say, when she received the eviction notice with her daughter-in-law’s name on it and realized she was paying rent to her for so long, she felt betrayed and angry.
Eventually, the mother-in-law understood that she treated Liliya badly and never gave her a chance.
It took time before the two women started getting along and put all their differences aside, but they knew they had to do it because of the man that meant the world to both of them, Igor.
