The Inheritances

At the age of 18 I was orphaned, my parents both died together in a multi-vehicle accident in a snowstorm. No other family I knew of, but the state knew better than me. My father had a brother, and they weren't on speaking terms. He was the eldest by 2 years and a widower and had a daughter 15 at the time of our first meeting. He welcomed me and I settled in and only left to start university. I was into science and wanted to go into research after university after several years and doing quite well at university. I received shocking news my uncle had passed away suddenly heart attack, and I was 23 and so I only had my cousin as a relative. I was told by my uncle's lawyers and was asked to tell my cousin. Which I did and as a result we became very close, over the following year I graduated and got a research position with the university. I bought my own home and my cousin moved in with me. Over the next year (2020) we became lovers while isolating and I got her pregnant. After the birth of our daughter, we lived together acting as a married couple, both quite well off due to our inheritances. Now we've 3 children all healthy and are contented with our lives.
