Chapter 14 - Daniel Sells the Remaining Wine
Six months later, Daniel made a decision nobody expected.
He sold much of his father’s wine collection.
Not because Rachel had tainted it.
Because he realized he had spent years protecting objects while assuming
the people in his home were safe.
Several sentimental bottles remained.
The rest went to auction.
Part of the proceeds restored money stolen from Lily’s trust while
litigation continued.
Another portion funded a program supporting children affected by
financial crimes committed by caregivers.
Eric asked whether Daniel was sure.
Daniel looked at the wine wall.
“My father collected bottles because he loved the stories behind them.”
He glanced toward Lily playing nearby.

“I have a more important story to protect.”
The empty spaces no longer bothered him.
