Chapter 14 - The Mother’s Final Will Document Is Read Aloud

The document, sealed in a safety deposit box years prior, contained explicit instructions regarding guardianship.
Julian listened as the court clerk read Sarah’s handwritten words aloud into the quiet room.
“If anything happens to me, sole custody and complete control of Leo’s trust belong exclusively to Julian.”

Tears prickled behind Julian’s eyelids as he heard his late wife’s voice echoing through the legal text.
