6 months later
Aliana has adjusted quite well with Amy's help and Ava by her side.
Though Amy has moved back to her house, she still comes around anytime Ana needed her.
Aliana hasn't allowed the lawyer to read the will,
until now.
when David called her.
Hello Mrs Johnson,
Hello Mr David,
How are you?
I am fine thank you,
I will be coming over today to read the will if you don't mind,
pls I need to fulfill Mr Johnson's last wish, also there are some documents that you need to sign.
Ok! David that will be fine.
What time will be ok?
Is 4pm Ok by you?
Ok 4pm will be fine.
She was reading when she spoke with the lawyer, she gave Amy a call immediately.
Hey babe,
Hey sweetie, can you come over to my place today?
Yeah,are you okay?
Oh yeah! I am fine. It is the lawyer he said he will be coming over today!
And you want me around?
Yeah I won't mind.
Ok I will be there, what time should I be there?
3:30 pm is fine.
Ok
Bye then later.
Aliana drop the call and went to rest,
She instructed the driver not to forget to go pickup Ava by 2pm.
For the past 6 months, Ana has tried to cope with everything, some days she could go to the bakery and get so busy with everything while other days staying home is her priority. Today is one of those days.
She closed her eyes and thought, she never actually knew anything about John's financial status, yes she knows he is rich or wealthy maybe but she wasn't really interested in all this, afterall she has her bakery going well for her.
Before she started the bakery she was living with Amy, she was able to save to start up. Then she moved out to rent her own place.
That was where she was living before she met John after they got married she moved in with him.
She remembers the first time she visited.....
John was living in a luxurious duplex adorned with opulent furnishing and sleek,modern design. The entrance welcomes you with a grand foyer featuring a cascading chandelier, leading to an expensive living area with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views. The gourmet kitchen boasts top-of -the-line appliances, and a marble staircase leads to the upper level where lavish bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms await. Each room is meticulously decorated, creating an atmosphere of indulgence, while a private terrace completes the experience with breathtaking cityscapes. She used her mind to view the house once again, he had told her that his friend who happens to be an architect designed the house.
Aliana stood up, walked into the bathroom and splash some water on her face knowing that Ava will be back soon.
She came outside walking down the staircase holding the rails,
she heard Ava's voice.
Mommy are you home?
Yes baby, how are you?
I am fine Mom.
Did you have fun in school today
Yeah.
Olivia!
Yes ma'am
Go take care of Ava pls
Ok ma'am.
She went to prepare lunch for her.
Though some staff members were in the kitchen she told them she prefers to do it herself.
They stood by the side watching and also assisting her with all she needed.
Everything in the house keeps reminding her of John.
She looked at the kitchen, tracing a line on the island table with her hands.
Mommy, what are you doing?
Nothing baby.
Come here, food is ready.
They sat to eat.
After eating Amanda cleared the table. She went to sit on the sofa waiting for Amy while Ava watched cartoons on the tv.
Exactly 3:30pm Amy walks in.
You are improving, Amy what happened? Ana asked with a chuckle...
Following your footsteps
They bursted out laughing,
I guess you were bored at the office?
How did you know?
Had a meeting with some clients who kept talking about how her fiance who works with Mandro wanted everything to be perfect.
really!
Well I gave her the VIP budget she said it was too much they won't be needing that much.
Hmmm?
Too much? Ana asked
Yeah she said, shaking her head.
Oh I understand that type of clients
You know how to deal with them Ana said smiling…..
Trust me Ana my business is to give you the best she said laughing.
Anyway you will be meeting with the clients for cakes and desserts options.
Awwee thanks hun You are the best.
She can come to my office,
Ana said standing up….. let go to the office while we wait for Mr David.
Have you eaten? I can have Amanda fix something for you,
I grabbed a bit before the meeting so I am still full .
Alright then.
They both went into the office,
I should leave instructions; that when David comes he will meet us here.
She stepped out again to Instruct Olivia.
While going upstairs she gave Ava a kiss on the forehead.
Ava I will be in the study ok.
Alright mom.
Aliana went back to the office.
She met Amy browsing through the books.
Amy lifted up her brows,
Is he here?
I guess so.
A knock came at the door,
Olivia and the lawyer then entered. Good afternoon ma'am
Good afternoon David.
Olivia stepped out of the office closing the door.
Oh pls, sit down.
Thanks Mrs Johnson..
Without much I ado I think we should get down to business I have another appointment after this.
Ok that fine Ana replied.
He brought out a brown sealed envelope.
Good afternoon, once again Mrs Johnson Today, we'll be going through the last will and testament of your late husband.
She shook her head affirmatively. Please proceed.
Certainly. Your husband's will specifies the distribution of his assets. First, the house will be transferred solely to you, as stated in the document.
Ok!
All financial accounts and investments including Johnson Constructions will be jointly held by you and your daughter, as outlined in the will. Your husband expressed the desire to ensure both of you are financially secure.
Okay!
and also all Personal belongings, are designated for you.
Any debts maybe I should be aware of?
Fortunately, there are no outstanding debts; everything has been settled.
Okay.
Any additional details I should be aware of?
Yes, there are a few charitable donations mentioned in the will, in your husband's name. We will handle those according to his wishes. Additionally, you are named as the executor of the will.
And also Mr Sabestain has been helping to manage the company for the last six months. He gave me the financial report but
How do you intend to manage it?
Will you do it yourself??
Hiring a professional will be better to be the
president,
While Sabestain remains as the Vice President.
Ok ma'am
We will do accordingly.
Thank you for guiding me through this, David
You're welcome, Mrs. Johnson. If you have any questions or concerns as you review the details, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to assist you throughout this process.
Thanks once again
He stood up
And left
She called Olivia to walk him out.
Aliana went back to look through the documents
She called Amy's attention
Amy, come look at this?
Is John this rich?
You didn't know? Amy asked
She shrugs her shoulders.
Amy looked at her and smiled. Your husband is one of the richest men in Silvervale.
When she looked at the amount of money. She blinked
And tears rolled down her eyes
Continuously.
With what she has seen
She and her daughter do not need to work for the rest of their lives…..
Aliana was just sobbing while saying even in death he still takes care of us…..
Oh John why did you leave us...…
