VIVIANI could sense the weight of expectation in the room. They were all waiting for me to say no, to reject the inheritance and walk away. But I flashed back to the memories of how they had treated me, like a nobody, a mere afterthought. The way they had belittled me, made me feel small and insignificant.But then I remembered Grandfather Edward, the one person who had always been truthful to me, who had always made me feel seen and heard. And I knew that I had to honor his wishes.The room erupted into chaos, with gasps and exclamations filling the air. Martha's face turned red with rage, while Mira looked like she had been punched in the gut.Wait you can't be serious!" Martha shouted, her voice echoing off the walls.But I just smiled, a sense of triumph and vindication washing over me. "I'm completely serious, I am definitely not joking about my answer" I said, my voice steady. "Grandfather Edward wanted me to have this, and I'm going to make sure his wishes are respected”.The

VIVIAN POVIt was a cold morning, the kind that made you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and never let go. But as I stepped outside, I was greeted by a sight that took my breath away. Everything looked so bright and silent, as if the world was holding its breath in anticipation of a new day.The sky was a brilliant blue, with just a hint of pink on the horizon. The trees stood tall and still, their leaves rustling softly in the gentle breeze. The air was crisp and clean, with a hint of sweetness that I couldn't quite place.I took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill my lungs, and smiled. I wished it was always this cool, this peaceful. A morning like this made me want to slow down, to savor every moment, to appreciate the beauty of the world around me.As I walked through the garden, I noticed the dew-kissed flowers, their petals glistening like diamonds in the morning light. The grass was soft and green, inviting me to take a seat and stay awhile. I did, sitting down on

I heard the door bell ring and I wondered who it might be.As I walked towards the door, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. Who could be visiting me early this morning. I opened the door, and my heart skipped a beat as I saw Julian standing there, his piercing blue eyes gazing into mine.I breathed in deeply, trying to calm my racing heart. Julian was the last person I expected to see, especially after our last encounter. We had parted ways on uncertain terms, and I wasn't sure if he was here to make amends or stir up more trouble."Julian," I said, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies in my stomach."Hey," he replied, his voice low and smooth. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."I shook my head, feeling a sense of trepidation. "No, it's fine.

VIVIANI was quiet for a while, unsure of how to respond to her question. She had asked me why I needed to know the truth about her past, and I realized that I didn't have a valid reason. At least, not one that I could articulate.But as I sat there, trying to gather my thoughts, I knew that it was important for me to know the truth."I don't know," I said finally, looking up at her.
