Girl Visits House Inherited from Granddad, Finds Letters Confirming She Was Not His Grandchild – Story of the Day
After losing her parents and then later her grandfather, Alice thought she was indeed all alone in the world. However, after discovering letters from a mysterious man to her grandfather in his house, she would learn that things aren’t always as they seem.
Alice had a pretty hard childhood growing up, but she held onto her child-like faith and positive attitude toward life. Her parents abandoned her right after birth, leaving her at the doorstep of a group home.
Her grandfather, Artur, would later swoop in to her rescue, taking her under his guardianship. Artur cared for Alice dearly and raised her as his own daughter. He taught her all the lessons and values he had learned and treasured himself growing up.
Unfortunately, when Alice was 10 years old, Artur passed away. Alice was once again alone, and life as she knew it had changed completely. However, Artur had left the house as an inheritance for Alice.

Since Alice was still a minor, she couldn’t access her inheritance. She would live her later years in a shelter, and a foster family eventually took her in.
When Alice came of age, she was finally able to get the house. While she had grown to love her foster family, she was grateful to be back in the home she had grown up in, her grandfather’s home.
As she entered her new home for the first time, she found a heap of letters by the front door. She concluded that it must’ve been mail that had been dropped in the letter slot and had gathered up over time.
Alice later noticed that most of these letters were from the same sender, and she became curious. She began to go through the letters, and what she discovered startled her.

The sender’s name was Greg, but what surprised her even more was that he had the same surname as her grandfather.
The more she read the letters, the deeper the revelations got. She learned that the sender was, in fact, her grandfather’s brother, which baffled her because he had never mentioned him before.
Alice also noticed that Greg would often ask about her, asking how she was doing and whether they had enough money. Then, one day, as Alice was reading the final letter of the heap, she came across something that would catapult her curiosity even further.
In the last letter, Greg asked Artur if he had yet told Alice their secret. Secret? What secret? And why in the last letter? Just my luck, Alice thought, frustrated.

Alice began searching every nook and cranny of her grandfather’s house, hoping to find more information. She finally came across another dozen letters stashed in the attic.
