Inheritance Series Book 5 Novels & Stories

“Our tradition, our ancient roots, we bolster them like a mantle because it is what founded our great empire. Our everlasting legacy.” He takes a few steps towards me, but this time I hear them; loud and it pounds on the ground, like stepping unto the accelerator of my heart so it beats even faster. I silence my instincts plead to back away. “Our legacy,” he says pointedly with prominent emphasis. One that implies something. “You and your brothers are Apions. Our blood flows through your veins and all that we have is yours by right. Our home is your refuge.” Confusion pinches the corners of my face. I can see he sees my discomfort.

Trinity inquired disgust laced in her tone like the very people she was talking about weren't her family. "It was what your grandfather wanted." Amoy's sister scoffs. "Why on earth would he want that?" "As you know the Tyler organisation has been in this family for four generations and I intend to make it five. So with that being said, my grandchildren will have the chance to inherit the business." Everyone began talking shocked and angry. "You're skipping a whole generation, mother." William's sister Paula states.

Janette’s eyes flicked toward Dean in confusion. Lucas, standing behind the line of officers, frowned. “What do you mean?” Dean glanced at Janette, then slowly circled around Liam and Janette, carefully not making any sudden moves. “There was never a paper will.” Liam blinked. “What?” Dean folded his hands behind his back. “There is an inheritance. Yes. But the proof of heirship… isn’t on paper.” He turned to Janette and gestured toward her. “It’s inked on skin.”

"I'm here to claim what's rightfully mine." My stomach dropped. "What are you talking about?" "The inheritance," she stated simply. "The family heirloom. It belonged to our father before it went to Catherine. And now that she's gone, it passes to the next rightful heir." "Which is me," I pointed out. "I'm her daughter." "Actually," Crystal countered, pulling a folder from her expensive handbag, "the terms of our father's will are very specific. The inheritance goes to his eldest surviving child. Since Catherine is deceased, that would be me."

Dominic said slowly. "Loses everything," Howard said. "His residual claims, his legal arguments, his contested inheritance position — all of it rests on the current structure. The moment the transfer triggers, there is nothing left to contest. His lawyers have been arguing that as Victoria's grandson he retains some claim regardless of his conviction. Five years from now, that argument becomes permanently, legally extinct. The estate belongs to the next generation." "He knows this," Elena said.

I set the document down on the desk with trembling hands. I picked it up again. Read the name one more time, with the specific deliberateness of someone ensuring they were reading what was actually on the page rather than what their mind expected to find there. Leonard Arden. The inheritance connected to my mother's family line, the inheritance that had made Serena Vale a target, that had been the financial motive behind the accident that sent me into the ocean four years ago. That inheritance had been moving for eleven years, to no other place, other than Leonard's own holding company.

“Then Marcus gets a Pyrrhic victory. He might get the inheritance, but he’ll lose the company. The board won’t follow him after this, they've seen who he really is.” After she hung up, Selene looked at Avalon. “Would it be okay If we lost the inheritance?” “Truthfully, I don’t know. That’s Pierce Holdings, everything Nene built and all I’ve protected for ten years.” “But would we be okay?” Avalon thought about that. “Yeah. We’d be okay. I have Nexus and I have enough money. We will survive.” “More than survive?” “Yeah. More than that.” Selene felt something release in her chest. She confirmed the inheritance mattered, but it wasn’t everything they were.

If this contract was broken, the price would be paid in blood. She felt no relief when the deal was done. Only more well concealed fear and anxiety. Amberleigh couldn’t help but think the enemy of my enemy was not a friend. It was rather another fucking enemy! And they seemed to be closing in indeed because Grayson had just laid out the fucking welcome mat. Chapter 45

Seth added. They were right. Although we almost lost our lives, it's better not to get Grandpa stressed out. Right now, he's on a business trip dealing with the rest of the Black Order, who had escaped the raid after Eva's death. He and his elite team are hunting those still loyal to Eva. Knowing Terry was the biological daughter of that psycho, she wanted to join the assignment, but Grandpa insisted she come with us and have a relaxing vacation. He knew someone like Terry was with us and the dangers that might happen during our break. She's the person to count on.

Hey, lovelies! Thank you so much to all of you who have waited for this book's release through the setbacks! For those of you who are new here, this is the fourth installment and should be read after Timber, Mated to Brianna, and Mylo (which is at the end of Timber), but for sure after Mated to Brianna which will set the stage and characters for this book. This book is a slow burn with some spicy heat later on - and lots of it! It’s going to have a few M-M moments, possible triggers, and the heirs can have quite the potty mouths.
