‘I guess you are flattering me Sir,’ Ima said yieldingly. ‘You should know that am not the type of men who shower flatteries anyhow, I call the truth as it is. The old woman, May her soul continue resting in peace, wasn’t wrong when she named you the sole heir to her empire. She saw what thousands failed to spot in you and am sure wherever she is, she is very proud of you.’

I was getting a sinking suspicion about what Havenstone considered 'crucial' for job performance and it didn't have anything to do with what alumni we were now part of. Here I was with my Father's dark good looks, my genetics an ancient blend of Bulgarian and Turkish with a recent addition of Irish Gaelic. My eyes, the legacy of my Mom, were a deep emerald green. The broad shoulders, narrow waist and powerful arms and legs were part heritage with a serious application of physical activity. I exercised constantly, swam whenever I could and cycling was my religion; the tougher the terrain, the better.

Who knows what else she must benefit from him after his death? That made me snap. ‘Don’t pretend you cared,’ the words spilled out of my mouth before I could stop them. ‘You never loved him. You only loved what he could give you. And as he stopped being useful, you watched him rot in bed while your mother spent his money. At least I loved him, but you…you were just waiting for him to die. So don’t talk to me about inheritance, Camille. The only thing you ever inherited was your mother’s cruelty.’

She added while clapping. "So, you want to go down and let us prepare your delicious breakfast?" "Yes, yes...Mommy, now." Lia smiles again as she pinches her daughter's pointed nose that she inherited from her father. "Then let's go, my baby..." "Goo.." Khianna stood up energetically and then jumped on the bed while pulling her mommy's hand.

They moved to the living room, sitting on opposite ends of the couch, comfortable in the space between them. “I don’t feel the need to be remembered the way I once did,” Nathaniel said. “Not as the one who held everything together.” “That role is exhausting,” Lillian said gently. “Yes,” he agreed. “And unsustainable.” They sat in silence for a while, the city beyond the windows calm and indifferent. “I think,” Lillian said finally, “that heirs are not the same as legacy.” Nathaniel turned toward her. “Explain.” “Heirs inherit position,” she said. “Legacy lives in culture. In how people treat power after you leave the room.”

I took the bottle of L'Eredità dei Rossi from Marco. "You should do it Hannah" he said. I took the bottle of L'Eredità dei Rossi. It felt heavy. The bottle of L'Eredità dei Rossi was cold. Water drops started to form on the glass. I looked at the name: Rossi Heritage. 2026. It said Estate Grown. Community Owned. The bottle of L'Eredità dei Rossi had a label.

“So… we’re not just cursed? We’re… descended from a goddess?” Kieran finally looked at him, a complex expression in his silver eyes. “That is what the oldest texts claim. It is a heritage of power, Nathaniel, not a pestilence. Now,” he said, turning away from the painting and back toward the endless rows of knowledge, “let’s see if we can find out what that heritage means for you.”

He was a young man dressed in clothes from another century, standing beside a group of humans. Below it was a date from three hundred and twelve years ago. And a phrase. HERITAGE PROJECT. Harper approached. “That wasn’t in my files.” Mom placed a hand on the table, and the energy of Balance vibrated. “Talus wanted us to find it.” The screen changed to a map of Saint River with twelve white points. “What are they?” I asked. Harper covered her mouth with one hand. “Houses.” “Whose?” “Families of the Heirs.”

Yet a flicker of understanding crossed his features, and amid the chaos, I sought to restore our faith in one another. Then I recalled my father’s words from years ago, the lingering shadows of his lessons fading into clarity: “Your heritage is only part of your story; your choices are what truly define you.” “Remember that, Liam. We are not just born into our futures; we can mold them to reflect who we truly are,” I said, my conviction unwavering. In that moment, I realized the true weight of our legacies, bound by choices but not confined by them. Together, we would be more than realizations of our past; we would rise above the ashes and reclaim what was rightfully ours.
