Friday morning arrived with freezing rain tapping against our bedroom window.<\/p>\n
I had slept perhaps two hours. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Arthur on the porch, then my mother's handwriting, then Mark's loan application with our address printed beneath a column labeled anticipated assets.<\/p>\n
Claire was awake before the alarm. She lay beside me staring at the ceiling.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can still stay home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo can you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I can't.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither can I.\u201d<\/p>\n
She turned her head.<\/p>\n
There had been a distance between us since the reading began, a narrow but unmistakable space created by all the things she had known and never told me. We had not resolved it. Neither of us pretended otherwise.<\/p>\n
Still, when she reached beneath the blanket, I took her hand.<\/p>\n
The courthouse was an ugly beige building with wet concrete steps and fluorescent lights that made everyone look exhausted. Sarah met us inside with two rolling cases of Arthur's records and another attorney from her firm, Michael Chen.<\/p>\n
Noah and Lily came separately.<\/p>\n
Kevin was already there.<\/p>\n
He sat alone on a bench outside the courtroom wearing the same dark suit he had worn to Arthur's funeral. His tie was crooked. His hands were clasped so tightly his knuckles had gone pale.<\/p>\n
Brenda arrived ten minutes later.<\/p>\n
She sat beside him without speaking.<\/p>\n
Mark appeared last.<\/p>\n
He wore charcoal gray, carried nothing, and walked beside two attorneys as if he were entering a board meeting rather than trying to dismantle his father's final wishes.<\/p>\n
His eyes found Claire.<\/p>\n
Then me.<\/p>\n
He smiled.<\/p>\n
Not warmly.<\/p>\n
Confidently.<\/p>\n
I understood what that smile was meant to do.<\/p>\n
For most of my life, men like Mark had irritated me because they entered rooms assuming everybody else would adjust.<\/p>\n
That morning, I discovered something useful.<\/p>\n
I no longer cared whether he was comfortable.<\/p>\n
The emergency hearing concerned only the requested freeze and temporary control of the estate, but Sarah had warned us that Mark would use it to establish a story.<\/p>\n
Arthur was confused.<\/p>\n
Claire controlled him.<\/p>\n
I benefited.<\/p>\n
The grandchildren benefited.<\/p>\n
The disfavored children were excluded because Claire isolated their father.<\/p>\n
Simple stories are powerful because people can remember them.<\/p>\n
Our problem was that the truth required twenty years.<\/p>\n
The judge entered shortly after nine.<\/p>\n
Judge Elena Marquez was perhaps sixty, with dark-framed glasses and an expression suggesting she had little patience for family theater disguised as law.<\/p>\n
Mark's attorney went first.<\/p>\n
His name was Franklin Webb.<\/p>\n
He spoke carefully.<\/p>\n
Arthur Vance, he said, had been an elderly widower who spent his final decades dependent upon one daughter and her husband. During that dependency, his estate plan changed dramatically. Three children were effectively disinherited. The daughter who controlled his daily life became trustee of a substantial charitable vehicle. Her children received half a million dollars.<\/p>\n
Webb never raised his voice.<\/p>\n
He did not need to.<\/p>\n
Presented that way, the situation sounded terrible.<\/p>\n
Then he mentioned me.<\/p>\n
Mr. Pierce, Webb said, had openly resented Arthur.<\/p>\n
He paused.<\/p>\n
I felt Claire stiffen beside me.<\/p>\n
Webb continued.<\/p>\n
Only days before Arthur's death, I had allegedly confronted him about the financial burden of living in our home.<\/p>\n
My stomach turned.<\/p>\n
Mark knew.<\/p>\n
Of course he knew.<\/p>\n
Someone had told him.<\/p>\n
Or Arthur had documented it.<\/p>\n
Webb argued that my resentment created pressure inside the household, increasing Arthur's dependence on Claire and potentially affecting his estate decisions.<\/p>\n
The irony was almost impressive.<\/p>\n
My ugliest moment with Arthur had become evidence for the man who had tried to take his money.<\/p>\n
Sarah wrote something on her legal pad.<\/p>\n
I whispered, \u201cHow did he know?\u201d<\/p>\n
She shook her head slightly.<\/p>\n
Later.<\/p>\n
Webb then introduced Dr. Price's affidavit.<\/p>\n
Arthur had shown signs of confusion.<\/p>\n
Arthur missed appointments.<\/p>\n
Arthur mishandled medication.<\/p>\n
Arthur had difficulty managing complex decisions.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez interrupted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen did Dr. Price last examine Mr. Vance?\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb hesitated.<\/p>\n
\u201cApproximately twelve years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
The judge looked over her glasses.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou're asking me to infer incapacity at death based partly on a physician who had not treated the decedent in twelve years?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is additional evidence, Your Honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noah looked down to hide a smile.<\/p>\n
Sarah's turn came.<\/p>\n
She began with dates.<\/p>\n
Arthur had executed the current estate plan four years earlier.<\/p>\n
He reviewed it annually.<\/p>\n
He signed amendments eighteen months ago and six weeks before his death.<\/p>\n
Three independent specialists assessed him.<\/p>\n
Sarah submitted their reports.<\/p>\n
Arthur understood his assets.<\/p>\n
He understood his family relationships.<\/p>\n
He understood the consequences of disinheritance.<\/p>\n
He could explain his reasons.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez read silently.<\/p>\n
Then Sarah introduced the ledgers.<\/p>\n
Not all of them.<\/p>\n
Only enough to show consistency.<\/p>\n
Arthur recorded bills, conversations, medical appointments, gifts, and financial decisions across two decades.<\/p>\n
Webb objected to characterization.<\/p>\n
The judge allowed Sarah to continue cautiously.<\/p>\n
Sarah did not call Arthur brilliant.<\/p>\n
She did something better.<\/p>\n
She let Arthur's habits speak.<\/p>\n
His records contained dates accurate to bank statements.<\/p>\n
Prescription amounts matching pharmacy histories.<\/p>\n
Mileage matching medical appointments.<\/p>\n
Tax figures matching county records.<\/p>\n
A confused man could occasionally keep notes.<\/p>\n
Arthur had built a twenty-year system.<\/p>\n
Then Sarah addressed Claire's supposed undue influence.<\/p>\n
She produced correspondence showing that Arthur met privately with her.<\/p>\n
Claire was absent.<\/p>\n
I was absent.<\/p>\n
Arthur paid his own legal fees.<\/p>\n
He instructed Sarah repeatedly that Claire was not to know the size of his estate.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez looked toward Claire.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Pierce did not know?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot the value, Your Honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe admits she knew assets existed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knew her father was not destitute. That is very different from knowing he held an estate worth several million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then came the attempted transfer.<\/p>\n
Webb objected immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Honor, we're moving into allegations from two decades ago that never resulted in criminal charges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe petitioner has placed family relationships and the decedent's reasons for disinheritance directly at issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez allowed limited testimony.<\/p>\n
Sarah called Kevin.<\/p>\n
Brenda grabbed his sleeve.<\/p>\n
He looked at her.<\/p>\n
She released him.<\/p>\n
Kevin walked to the witness chair.<\/p>\n
Mark stared straight ahead.<\/p>\n
Under oath, Kevin looked smaller.<\/p>\n
Sarah asked about the attempted transfer.<\/p>\n
Kevin admitted being present.<\/p>\n
He admitted Mark told him the money needed to be moved temporarily.<\/p>\n
He admitted believing Arthur was making poor decisions after his wife's death.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Claire Pierce authorize the transfer?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you believe she had?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMark told me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb objected.<\/p>\n
The judge allowed the answer for limited purposes.<\/p>\n
Sarah continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen did you learn Claire had not agreed?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin looked at Mark.<\/p>\n
\u201cLater.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much later?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what did you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The word filled the courtroom.<\/p>\n
Sarah did not rescue him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin rubbed his palms against his trousers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was scared.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf Arthur?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf whom?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mark finally turned.<\/p>\n
Kevin looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb rose.<\/p>\n
\u201cObjection.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez considered.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverruled as to the witness's state of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin continued.<\/p>\n
Mark had convinced him they could all be implicated.<\/p>\n
He said Arthur would forgive them if nobody cooperated.<\/p>\n
Arthur did, in one sense.<\/p>\n
He declined prosecution.<\/p>\n
But forgiveness and trust were not the same.<\/p>\n
Kevin admitted signing an affidavit supporting the old competency proceeding.<\/p>\n
He admitted knowing some claims were exaggerated.<\/p>\n
Then Sarah asked about Dr. Price.<\/p>\n
Kevin swallowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMark told me years ago Price could help if Dad ever changed the will.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb stood immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cObjection. Hearsay.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSustained.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah changed direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you personally hear Mark say anything about challenging Arthur's estate?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeveral times.\u201d<\/p>\n
The judge permitted a narrower answer.<\/p>\n
Kevin described a conversation six years earlier.<\/p>\n
Mark said that if Arthur left his money \u201csomewhere stupid,\u201d the family would have the will invalidated.<\/p>\n
I watched Mark.<\/p>\n
No reaction.<\/p>\n
Not even anger.<\/p>\n
He had prepared for Kevin.<\/p>\n
Then Sarah produced the loan application.<\/p>\n
The one containing our address.<\/p>\n
Webb's posture changed.<\/p>\n
Sarah asked Kevin whether he recognized MV Holdings.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhose company?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMark's.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWere you involved?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBriefly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid MV Holdings own the Pierce residence?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Mark?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Arthur?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot exactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez interrupted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does \u2018not exactly\u2019 mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah explained the mortgage trust.<\/p>\n
The judge listened closely.<\/p>\n
Our house had been protected through Arthur's trust after he acquired our mortgage during a financial crisis. Claire and I repaid the debt. The beneficial interest was scheduled to return to us.<\/p>\n
Webb argued that this arrangement itself demonstrated financial entanglement and potential influence.<\/p>\n
Sarah responded with payment records.<\/p>\n
Every dollar.<\/p>\n
Every month.<\/p>\n
Eleven years.<\/p>\n
Arthur had preserved our home, but we had repaid him.<\/p>\n
Then she introduced my mother's contribution.<\/p>\n
Webb stopped taking notes.<\/p>\n
I understood why.<\/p>\n
His argument depended upon Arthur giving us estate assets.<\/p>\n
Margaret Pierce's sixty thousand dollars was not Arthur's money.<\/p>\n
And the remainder had been repaid.<\/p>\n
The judge asked whether the mortgage trust could currently transfer title.<\/p>\n
Sarah explained that Mark's petition created uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez looked toward Mark.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour client is asserting a prospective interest in property that, according to these records, was never intended for him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb said the estate plan itself remained contested.<\/p>\n
The judge wrote something.<\/p>\n
I wanted to know what.<\/p>\n
Instead, Sarah sat.<\/p>\n
Webb called Claire.<\/p>\n
I hated watching my wife walk to the witness chair.<\/p>\n
He began gently.<\/p>\n
How long had Arthur lived with us?<\/p>\n
Twenty years.<\/p>\n
Who cooked for him?<\/p>\n
Mostly Claire.<\/p>\n
Who managed his appointments?<\/p>\n
Claire.<\/p>\n
Who helped with medication?<\/p>\n
Claire.<\/p>\n
Who had daily access to his papers?<\/p>\n
Claire.<\/p>\n
Who communicated with Sarah's office about certain practical matters?<\/p>\n
Sometimes Claire.<\/p>\n
Question by question, he constructed a cage from ordinary acts of care.<\/p>\n
Then he asked whether Claire knew her father had financial assets.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you tell your husband?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father asked me not to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you usually keep financial secrets from your husband at your father's request?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah objected.<\/p>\n
Sustained.<\/p>\n
Webb changed direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father distrusted your siblings?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou reinforced that distrust?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNever?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him when I thought they were treating him badly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you discussed your siblings negatively with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they treated him badly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb smiled slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Pierce, isn't it true that you benefited financially from your father's decision to live with you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire stared at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mortgage was rescued.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn't know Dad did that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour children's expenses were paid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn't know about most of those either.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are trustee of a fund worth nearly two million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don't own that money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you control it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith other trustees, for charitable purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb paced slowly.<\/p>\n
Then he asked about my argument with Arthur.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid your husband call your father a burden?\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire looked at me.<\/p>\n
I wanted her to lie.<\/p>\n
For one shameful second, I wanted it desperately.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The courtroom remained quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Mr. Pierce say Arthur had cost the family money for twenty years?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWas Arthur upset?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid he die shortly afterward?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb let the silence work.<\/p>\n
Then he said, \u201cNo further questions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne question, Mrs. Pierce. Did Arthur change his will after that argument?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen was the most recent amendment?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSix weeks before he died.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore the argument?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire returned to me.<\/p>\n
I took her hand.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez recessed for twenty minutes.<\/p>\n
We waited in the hallway.<\/p>\n
Mark approached.<\/p>\n
Sarah immediately stepped between us.<\/p>\n
He ignored her.<\/p>\n
He looked at Claire.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can still end this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire said nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cDivide it equally. We walk away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad didn't want that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDad didn't know what he wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knew exactly what he wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mark turned.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou've always been weak.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin's face reddened.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mark smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least you're finally honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin stepped closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you're still lying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Webb called Mark away before it became worse.<\/p>\n
The judge returned.<\/p>\n
Her ruling was narrow.<\/p>\n
She refused to freeze the entire estate.<\/p>\n
Arthur's charitable commitments could continue only where previously obligated, but no major new distributions would occur until further review.<\/p>\n
Noah and Lily's trusts remained protected.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, the court rejected Mark's request to seize temporary control of the estate.<\/p>\n
Sarah remained executor.<\/p>\n
Then came the house.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez found insufficient evidence that Mark had any legitimate beneficial interest.<\/p>\n
The property transfer to Claire and me could proceed after a short statutory delay unless Mark produced specific evidence supporting his claim.<\/p>\n
I exhaled for what felt like the first time all morning.<\/p>\n
Claire squeezed my hand.<\/p>\n
Mark lost his smile.<\/p>\n
But the judge was not finished.<\/p>\n
She had concerns about Dr. Price's affidavit.<\/p>\n
Significant concerns.<\/p>\n
She ordered preservation of communications between Dr. Price, Mark, and Mark's attorneys relating to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
Webb stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Honor\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe affidavit was presented to this court. Its reliability is therefore my concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mark whispered something to him.<\/p>\n
Webb's face tightened.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez scheduled a fuller evidentiary hearing.<\/p>\n
Three weeks.<\/p>\n
Then she looked over the documents again.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne final matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone waited.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe court is troubled by the apparent use of the Pierce residence in a prior loan application.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mark's attorney objected before she finished.<\/p>\n
Judge Marquez raised one hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not making findings. I am ordering preservation.\u201d<\/p>\n
She instructed Mark to preserve financial records related to MV Holdings.<\/p>\n
That was the first time I saw genuine fear on his face.<\/p>\n
It lasted perhaps two seconds.<\/p>\n
But I saw it.<\/p>\n
Outside the courthouse, Kevin lit a cigarette with shaking hands.<\/p>\n
Claire stood beneath the awning.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou quit fifteen years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked at the cigarette.<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently not permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n
She almost smiled.<\/p>\n
Then he said, \u201cI'm sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire's expression closed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. I mean\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you mean.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you forgive me?\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked toward the rain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don't know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin nodded.<\/p>\n
It was the right answer.<\/p>\n
Sarah came through the courthouse doors holding her phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
My stomach dropped.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Price's daughter called.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEmily?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah looked at Kevin, then at us.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer father wants to change his affidavit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds like good news.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWould be?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah lowered her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Price says he won't speak until someone guarantees Mark can't collect the debt he owes him.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan he do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot through me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin flicked his cigarette into the rain.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know who can prove the debt wasn't really a loan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah turned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin looked back toward the courthouse doors where Mark had disappeared.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thirty thousand Mark gave Price didn't come from Mark.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere did it come from?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin's face tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Friday morning arrived with freezing rain tapping against our bedroom window. I had slept perhaps two hours. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Arthur on the porch, then … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1074,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-one-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1083"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1101,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1083\/revisions\/1101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelonestory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
