Inheritance Series Book 5 Novels & Stories

“My personal life is not your business. Stay out of my way.” “Not a threat,” Alex replied. “A reality check. Think carefully about the people you trust and the secrets you keep. They have a way of coming back.” The Caldwell family seems to have a way of frustrating me. “Do you enjoy playing this game?” I said, moving backward. “Someone has to,” Alex said. “And Sebastian… someone always wins in the end.” Without saying anything further, I turned around and walked away.

Isabella stood by the pool, watching him go, her heart aching. The will reading was held in the library. Isabella sat beside Sebastian, Lucas, and Lily in her lap, her mind still reeling from her conversation with Damien. The lawyer read from a document, his voice droning, the words blurring together. Sebastian inherited the estate. Damien inherited the company. Isabella inherited a trust fund she hadn't expected. "Grandfather wanted to take care of you," Sebastian said, as they walked back to the car. "He didn't even know me."

“There are people who believe power is worth more than family. Leon is one of them.” David quietly lowered his head. Almost as if he already knew every word. “Trust David. Even when you don’t understand his decisions.” I looked up. David avoided my eyes. “He promised me that no matter what happened, he would keep you alive.” Silence settled over the room again. Monica wiped her eyes discreetly. Even Vivian looked unusually serious. The final paragraph caught my attention. “The Archive is only the beginning. The real inheritance is hidden beneath Blackstone Manor. Only the true heir can enter.”

Prominently highlighted was Article VII, Clause Delta. The figure continued, "However the Council is not without… leniency. A path to redemption exists. You have one week, Alexander Sterling, to fix this breach. You will present yourself before the Council.. You will bring the true heir. The one who can uphold the covenant. The child of the Sterling bloodline. Ready to serve." The woman with the gavel brought it down with a thud. Alexander stared at the screen horrified. The true heir. They didn’t just want his company; they wanted Leo. His son, who was currently undergoing tests for a heart condition was now a pawn in a generations-old game.

"Shocking Reversal in Inheritance Battle—Connelly Group Heiress Turns the Tide for Her Fiance." Abigail lowered her head and whispered into my ear, so quietly that only the two of us could hear, "Don't be afraid, Glenn. I'll handle everything. I won't let anyone hurt you again." I nearly gagged. Of everyone there, she was the most nauseating. In my previous life, I thought she was my last lifeline. But instead, she delivered me straight back into the clutches of Samantha and Howard. That was when I learned they had been in cahoots all along, all for the massive inheritance tied to my name.

My grandfather asks, looking at me confused. "I'm fine". Answering softly, faking a smile. "Vitor, it's a pleasure to see you again". David speaks greeting my grandfather. "The pleasure is all mine". My grandfather reciprocates. "This is my youngest son, George Conner". Speaks, pointing to the one I thought was my fiancé, making me look surprised. -This is my heir, Thomas Conner. -Speaks pointing to the man I spent the night with. "It's an honor to finally meet you, Mr. Montanari". He greets my grandfather with a friendly smile.

"Read it, sweetheart." She averted her gaze back to the document as I watched her grey orbs running over each and every word in that document keenly. She softly placed the file on the table after reading it and her grey orbs looked at me more confusedly. "What is this?" I sighed and leaned to the table while keeping my interlocked palms on the table. "Inheriting the inheritance to the rightful heir." "What?" I sighed at her cluelessness. "You, as the daughter of Vincent Aslanov and the only person alive in the Aslanov family, inherits everything that is under the name of Aslanov. From single penny they owned to the infamous Aslanov world. Pardon my insult."

Everyone’s phone went off at once. "What?" Liam’s fiancée, Chloe, frowned, moving closer to his side. I looked down at my phone. A blood-red scale appeared on the screen. [Welcome to The Last Zombie: Final Reckoning.] [Detected: 15 members of the Sterling family.] [Objective: Eliminate all zombies. The last player standing inherits the entire family fortune.] [Current Asset Valuation: $12.7 Billion.] The living room went dead silent. "What kind of sick joke is this?" Liam tried to close the app, but the screen wouldn't budge. "Who made this?"

‘And why is that? He looks away as if he’s ashamed when we both know he has no reason to be. ‘Levi should be your heir. Levi will have pups…’ He replies. ‘So could you.’ ‘You know that’s not going to happen.’ He growls. I narrow my eyes. “Ryker is my heir and that is final.” I say out loud. He huffs but he doesn’t argue more. “What are we going to do about the Aurora Pack?” Khloe asks.

She was ninety-five. The reading of their Last Will and Testament shocked everyone. Since her mother was their only living relative who would naturally be in line to inherit, it was expected that the inheritance would go to her parents. Then, they would leave it to Alison in their Last Will and Testament. The room sat in silent shock when the lawyer informed them that Alison inherited the estate house and grounds along with a trust containing more than enough money to care for herself and the estate.
