house, none of them have brought up seeing each other. I think we’re just flirty friends, and I am

okay with that.”

“Just have some fun baby. No need to rush into another relationship right now,” mom said, and

Nana nodded.

An hour later mom was driving us to her work. When we got out, I looked at the building that was

my Uncle Mark’s and dad’s firm. It brought back many memories of visiting my dad at work.

“Isha, before we go in, I just want to let you know that no matter what you decide, I support you,”

Nana said.

“Support me on what, Nana? You still haven’t explained anything to me.”

She sighed and nodded. “Five more minutes. Then everything will be revealed.”

We walked in, mom waved at the two receptionists and they smiled and waved back. Nana and I

smiled at them too. We took the elevator up to the sixth floor and walked to Uncle Mark’s office.

“Ellie, what are you doing here? I thought you took a week off,” a woman said.

“Sally, hi, I am. My daughter is coming to talk and say hi to her Uncle. Hey, thanks again for filling in

for me. I really appreciate it.”

“You did the same for me when I went on maternity leave, twice. It’s the least I could do.”

“Well, let me introduce you to my daughter. This is Isha and you know my mother-in-law, Isha, this is my colleague Sally. She’s been with us for three years.”

I said hello, she seemed really nice. She was in her thirties, it looks like. She had blonde hair and

kind blue eyes. She was taller than my mom and me but shorter than my Nana’s 5’9.

“Is he busy?” mom asked.

“No, go right in.”

Mom knocked first, but entered when we heard Uncle Mark call out.

“Isha, look at you. More beautiful than ever. You take after your mother in that department. Nora, you are as pretty as a picture,” he said to my Nana as he walked around his desk and gave me a bear hug. He then turned to Nana and kissed her cheek, and lastly he turned to mom. He visibly melted. I don’t know why mom doesn’t give him a chance.

“Ellie, you look gorgeous.”

“Thank you, Mark,” mom said, blushing,

“So, we’re here to talk about Jonas’s will.”

“Papa, had a will?”

“He did honey. You know how I pressured you to get married right away?” Nana asked.

“Yeah.”

“Well, that was because of your grandad’s will. If you didn’t go to college, you had to get married

right away to receive the bulk of your grandad’s money. But since you went to college, the

stipulation was that you would receive it on your twenty-fifth birthday, or if you got married before then. But I never trusted Jason, so I didn’t tell you about it. But on your twenty-fifth birthday, you would have gotten it anyway.”

“What do you mean by the bulk of his money?”

“You’re papa, invested in Coca-Cola, when it first came out and his shares got transferred to you.

He also invested again in a small company that exploded. You know it as Microsoft. He sold those

shares a while ago, banked his money and started his own spa business, as you know. And I never sold his spa business, because he left it to you, and I hired someone to run it until you made the

decision to either sell it, or stay here and run it.”

I gawked at her. “So how much are we talking about?”

She looked at Mark, so I did too. Mom was silent during all of this. I looked at her, and she gave

me a small smile.

“Uncle Mark, wait before you tell me, did he leave anything for you?” I asked Nana.

“Oh, honey, yes. He left me with a quarter of his money, which, trust me, is a lot.”

I nodded and looked at Uncle Mark. He cleared his throat and looked at the contents in the folder.

“So with your five percent share in Coca-Cola, and what was left in his bank account that your grandma was named a guardian of, and the value of the spa business today, you are looking at 1.3

billion dollars.”

“I’m sorry what?” I screeched. Holy sh*t is it getting hot in here? I looked at my mom and she became blurry,

“Oh, I think she’s going to pass out,” mom said.

Nana grabbed a folder off of Uncle Mark’s desk and started fanning me with it.

Mom grabbed my head and forcefully pushed it between my knees.

“Breathe my baby girl, breathe,” she said to me.

I took deep breaths and my vision cleared. The fanning of the folder felt wonderful. Uncle Mark

crouched in front of me with a cold bottle of water.

“Here Isha, drink some water,” he said.

I took it, and guzzled it when mom let me up.

“Slow down baby, you’ll make yourself sick”, mom said.

I looked at Nana. “You were his wife, why didn’t he leave it all to you?”

“He left me with three hundred and twenty-five million dollars, sweet child. That’s mo

“I am so glad you didn’t tell me while I was married to Jason, or else he would have never divorced

me and I would have ended up with a cheating scumbag husband, for who knows how long.”

Nana and mom nodded at that statement.

“So the selling of the business is what you meant by you will support me no matter what I decide?”

I asked Nana.

“Yes. Honestly, I think Rupert would buy it from you. He loves running the business. He does an
