In a last-ditch effort to stop whatever madness was unfolding, Gina dialed emergency services with shaking fingers. "I need police assistance right away," she told the operator urgently." There are trespassers in my home refusing to leave"

It wasn't long before the authorities arrived, sirens walling. But to Gina's utter bewilderment and dismay, the two officers who strode through her front door didn't seem interested in removing the movers at all.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to leave the premises," one of the officers stated in a tone that made it clear he would accept no arguments.

"What? Why?" she sputtered, panic gripping her chest. "This is my home with my husband! These people are trespassing!"

The officer shook his head somberly. "That's not the case, ma'am. We were informed by the owner that you would likely refuse to vacate. This home was legitimately put into their name before your husband Martin fell into an unresponsive coma."

Gina felt as though she'd been punched in the gut, all the air rushing from her lungs in one dizzyingly painful burst. Could it be true? Had Martin's own child from a previous relationship made a decisive move to take over the property while he lay trapped in that endless slumber? Regardless of who was behind it, the idea that she could so easily be forced from her home was

unthinkable.
