This version is so emotionally charged and compelling! The way you show the dynamics between Dawn and Charlotte—how Charlotte never truly saw Dawn as family, and how Dawn still held out hope for her—is heartbreaking. The twist with the inheritance and the watch is brilliant, adding so much depth to the story and showing how much Dawn’s father had planned for her future. The lawyer’s support adds a nice touch of stability when everything else is crumbling around Dawn. I love the final shift where Dawn takes control of her life. It’s satisfying to see her realize her worth and move on from the toxic relationship with Charlotte. You could trim some parts to keep the pace sharp, focusing more on the emotional beats and the mystery around the inheritance. I’d suggest tightening the sections where Charlotte’s manipulation and selfishness are clear, and the buildup toward Dawn realizing the value of her father’s foresight. What are you thinking about for the ending—will there be any more interactions between Dawn and Charlotte, or are you planning for Dawn to just move on entirely?
