Chapter 14 - A SURPRISE IN THE MAIL
Three weeks passed, bringing crisp autumn air and quiet stability to the young Montgomery household.
Ethan walked down to the brick mailbox at the end of the driveway, gathering the daily stack of mail.

Ethan opened it while walking back up the paved driveway, his eyebrows rising in surprise as he read the contents.

"Maya! You need to see this!" Ethan called out as he pushed open the front door.
Maya came downstairs carrying Liam, looking curious as Ethan spread the legal documents across the kitchen island.

"If my father was ever convicted of a felony, full control of the Montgomery Corporate Holdings transfers automatically to me," Ethan revealed.
