The Inherited Novels & Stories

nagsimulang magpaliwanag si Attorney Hugh Vincent Anthony Fortin kay Mr Sandoval. "In your case, Mr Sandoval.." he looked at the wealthy man in obvious manner of disagreement as a legal counsel for child's protection policy when it comes to inheritance. "Hindi naman masama kung mas pabor ka na malaking portion ng kayamanan mo at ari-arian mo ang ibahagi sa iyong anak na si Cassandra. But.." he paused. Legitimate children have a protected share of the estate, known as the legitime, which cannot be taken away without just cause."

“It has to be you. Idagdag pa na medyo may edad ka na rin.” “What if I don't want to?” seryoso kong tanong at salitang napatingin sa kanila. “Then you'll get no inheritance from us,” diretsahang sagot ni mom na ikinakunot ng aking noo. “When we say inheritance, we don't just speak about the money. Pati ari-arian. And kahit ikaw ang current CEO ng Sirak Wines, alam mong nakapangalan ito sa dad mo. Isa iyan sa puwedeng mawala sa iyo.”

Ang araw ay nagsisimula nang lumubog at ang langit ay nagiging kulay kahel at lila. Maya-maya ay napalingon siya sa akin. “Do you care about the inheritance?” Napaisip ako sandali bago sumagot. “It’s not about the money.” Bahagya siyang nagtaas ng kilay. “Then what?” “The companies… the foundation… everything she built.” Napabuntong-hininga ako. “If the inheritance goes away, the control of those things changes too.” Tumango siya nang bahagya, tila naiintindihan ang ibig kong sabihin.

“I went abroad when I was ten years old and didn’t have time to get them back. Now I hope you can return my mother’s things to me.” “Beatrice, we are all family, I—” “That’s not right.” Diretsahan siyang pinutol ni Beatrice. “You and my dad didn’t get a marriage certificate.” Parang nahampas ang lahat ng naroroon sa katotohanang iyon. “Even if my mother passed away, only my dad and I are entitled to inherit.” Naging mas malamig ang kaniyang mga mata. “Taking it without asking is theft.” Tahimik ang buong paligid.

He's got everything figured out, while I have to fucking squeeze my last brain cells to come up with a plan. I can't believe Grandpa did this. Wala akong pakialam sa ibang mga ari-arian niya, even a position in his company. I have the means to survive on my own dahil may mga sarili din naman akong properties. Hell, I care if Hideo gets his hands on his assets. He is legally adopted kaya normal lang na may parte siya, inalagaan niya si Lolo habang kami ni Crem ang humalili sa mga responsibilidad niya sa trabaho. But I will not hand him Secret Cliente! It's mine. I made it as it is. Ako ang nagpaunlad dito. Grandpa gave it to me when I was fifteen. Oo siguro nga it was verbally given to me, bu

may pagmamalaking tugon nito sa kausap. "Well, I wouldn't be surprised. He carries the Rodriguez bloodline. Your child will most likely inherit the traits of the Rodriguez bloodline... or maybe even surpass your dad." "Of course, Mr. Chua. My grandson will surely inherit even a small traits of Rodriguez bloodline," sang-ayon naman ni Gilbert at tumingin kay Ceryna.

Bata pa ito at maaaring madala niya ito pagkalaki nito. Her son is always been like that. Kapag ang ama ng mga ito ang pinag-uusapan ay bigla nalang nag-iiba ang timpla nito. Not unlike his twin sister, palagi nitong hinahanap ang ama nito. She can feel how Hermina is missing her father, she is more emotional and vulnerable than Hero. Mukhang sa kanya ito nagmana and she bet that Hero inherited it's father's behavior. Lalong-lalo na ang mga mukha ng mga ito, nakuha nito lahat kay Augustus. And it's unfair to her side. Siya ang nagluwal sa mga ito at nag-alaga sa loob maraming taon pero ang kamukha nito ay ang ama na sperm lang naman ang ambag.

“Hindi lang pera ang usapan dito. Legacy ito.” Halos masamid ako sa tubig na iniinom ko. “What?” Dean stiffened beside me. “Excuse me?” “We want heirs. Bloodline continuation,” seryosong sabi ni Uncle Edward habang nililipat ang tingin mula kay Dean papunta sa akin. “The inheritance will not be fully released until we are assured na the next generation is secured.” Napatigil ako. Napatingin ako kay Dean. Parang huminto ang mundo.

Kahit hindi sakto 'yong wording basta nandon ang thought ay ayos na. "Hmm! Bilis, ha? Crys, Mendel's Law." "A principle in genetics proved subsequently to be subject to many limitations: because one of each pair of hereditary units dominates the other in expression, characters are inherited alternatively on an all-or-nothing basis —called also law of dominance." Wow! Sila na magaling sa science. Nakakadugo utak 'yon 'no? Saan kaya nila iniimbak lahat ng mga nalalaman nila sa asignaturang agham?

"That's the point. The financial model didn't account for... for This. For the community. For the heritage." "Heritage," mapait na tawa ni Celle. "Ang 'heritage' para sa mga taong tulad ninyo ay isang bagay na tinitingnan sa museum. Para sa amin, ito 'yung sinangag at tapa na kinain mo. Ito 'yung utang na pinalilipas ni Lola. Ito 'yung buhay na sinusubukan ninyong bilhin at gibain para tayuan ng isa na namang mall na hindi naman namin kailangan."
