Inheritance Book Novels & Stories

But then I remember, the first time I met him, he told me I could keep accounts of some books and this takes me back to what those books were about. I remember it and it seemed to be some type of inheritance that he was left with but left untouched for long. Does this mean something? I begin to go through the library, looking at every piece of book and it makes me glad to know that I have finally found a piece of trial to follow.

When they try to take your voice, the next page read, remember this: nothing survives being named by the wrong person. I closed the book. Outside, engines turned over. Messages arrived. Movements aligned. The inheritance wasn’t a crown. It was a line drawn in blood and choice. And I was ready to cross it.

Leather, dust, faint hints of dried herbs still clinging to the pages. My fingers hovered just inches from the nearest row. I didn’t touch. Not yet. I only let my eyes move across the titles, slowly, reverently, the way one might read names on a gravestone or constellations in the sky. There were texts on magical theory, of course—advanced treatises on Bloodcraft, lineage studies, ancient House rituals—but nestled in between them were books that surprised me.

My eyes narrrowed. “Fourteen down,” Grandma said, her voice wobbling. “‘Inheritance.’ Eleven letters.” My head snapped toward her. She looked back at me with wide innocent eyes and I kicked the bed frame again. Nate filled in INHERITANCE without noticing anything. Grandma watched him write with desperate tenderness, her eyes going from his hands to my stomach and back, over and over. I just stared at the crossword until the letters blurred. Then Nate dropped his pen. It rolled off the tray and under Grandma’s bed.

I kept going. The section on inheritance took up four pages. It covered Blackwood assets, family holdings, provisions connected to Damien’s position as CEO, succession planning tied to the marriage. I read it carefully and most of it washed over me the way legal language does when you are not a lawyer and the sentences are structured to be technically clear but practically impenetrable. And then I found the heir clause. It was not hidden. It was right there in plain language in a way that suggested whoever wrote this contract had decided that clarity on this particular point was more important than softening the language.

They were all sitting in the living room, looking like they owned the place. “I want all of my mother's properties,” I demanded, trying to sound confident. My father sneered at me. “You have no right to request anything,” she spat. “You are just a disgraced daughter who's been in prison for three years. You are not even worthy of being called a member of this family.” I felt a surge of anger, but I tried to keep my cool. “I'm my mother's daughter,” I said, my voice firm. “And I deserve to inherit her properties. Including this house,”

After an hour of fruitless searching, I decided to call my brother. “You can't find Dad's book, can you?” He said the moment he picked my call. My brows lowered in confusion. “You knew?” “Of course, I know.” He replied. “Father is not stupid. If he is basing the inheritance of his entire estate on a book, he's not going to leave it lying around.” I released a strained breath. “I would have appreciated a heads up.” “How else would you have paid for not letting me have a go at Julian?”

The second half of the journal still hadn’t answered my question: How do I get my inheritance? I shook the book in frustration and a small piece of paper fell loose. I leaned over to pick it up, its color brighter white than the rest of the journal’s pages. I hadn’t noticed this while I was sifting through the pages. I unfolded the paper and my mouth dropped open. It was dated last year. Dudley must have thrown this clue in at the last minute, for my eyes only. Here it was, my instructions to receive his inheritance. That tree in the backyard will make you millions. All you need is TruFruit’s cross-breeding process and you’ll be set for life. Upend their share of the market. Make them regret

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.
