Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 49- Notary

"Hello, Can I help you?" The young man behind the desk asked as the two men walked in. Magnus looking around the clinically clean and white office and felt odd. It was like he was in a doctor's office or something.

"Hi. Yes, I'm here to see Mr Lee. I'm Magnus Bane" Magnus smiled nervously at the man who nodded and stood up before he headed into the room beside him. It wasn't long before an older man came out and smiled at the pair.

"Ah, Mr Bane. Nice to meet you. I'm Mr Stephan Lee. Your father's notary. Would you like to come through?" Stephan asked as they shook hands and led them through the same door he had come through. "Please, have a seat"

"Thank you," Magnus said as he sat down in one of the chairs opposite Mr Lee's desk alongside Alec. "So you wanted to talk to me about my father's assets?"

"Yes. I would like to give you my condolences for the loss of your father. Now, I have been going through his properties, business and money. Now I have made a list of what is being left to you. There was one property that was being left to a... Miss Belcourt? But as I understand she was involved in the tragic accident too. So that part of his will is now moot as is being left to you" Stephan said sadly and gave Magnus an apologetic smile.

"Okay... I didn't realise he had that much stuff though? I didn't even know there was a place he was leaving for her" Magnus frowned.

"Yes the apartment that she lived in was owned by your father" Stephan explained.

"Unbelievable. Okay, continue" Magnus sighed.

"So. Mr Bane senior had... let's see... one, two, three, four... five properties in total including the business building for this car shop. Which is being left to you. So that 3 apartments. 1 house and the 1 business premises. Along with that comes the business itself. He also had 6 bank accounts which consisted of two standard accounts and three savings accounts and an off-shore ISA account which I'm still working on getting the money to me. As it stands at the moment, I have made the documents up for you to sign for the properties and the business plus the five out of the six accounts and I have the money in my bank account ready to be transferred to you. The total is... one second..." Stephan said as he looked through his paperwork and nodded. "Total is fourteen million eight hundred and sixty-two thousand three hundred and twenty-four dollars. Plus the few odd cents of fifty-three"

Magnus listened to all of this as his head swam with the figures and the properties. He had no idea that his father had so much and after making it such a big deal to pay the ransom money that would have been nothing to him at the time, he was both happy to have the money but livid at the same time. He looked at Alec whole was looking as shocked as he felt, his eyes wide open and his mouth hung open slightly.

"Wait... so... so I get all that money, all the properties... just like that?" Magnus asked confused.

"Pretty much. He left it all to you in the will plus you have both have no other living relatives. So yes, it's all yours" Stephan smiled. "I do need to deduct my fee of two thousand six hundred and eighty-three dollars from that for my time and effort and that includes the signatures you need from me. However, right now that seems like nothing"

"Holy sh- sorry" Magnus gasped. It now sinking in that he had no money worries. He could pay Alec back everything and Maryse and he had nothing to worry about in that way. "The off-shore ISA. How much was in that?"

"That total is... another one million and four hundred thousand roughly. I'm still waiting for the exact figure but I know it's just over that figure. I will contact you to come in and sign that letter when it is ready and when I have it. Now, signatures. I need you to sign these five documents for the properties. This letter for the business. Then these six letters for the bank account transferred funds and to close them accounts" Stephan smiled as he pointed to Magnus on where to sign for each one. Magnus smiled too as he signed each one. He finally felt something was going well. "Lovely. That's all sorted. These are the deeds to the properties. This is the information for the business. I will transfer the money to your account now so I will need your bank details and it should be in your account within 2-3 working days"

"That's great. Thank you for everything" Magnus smiled and shook his hand. "Am I okay to pay the bill for you when I get the money transferred over?"

"Of course. Your father was a good man to me. I have no doubt you will stick to your agreement" Stephan said happily as he handed the stuff to Magnus.

"Thank you. Again" Magnus said as he took out his phone. He found his bank details and gave them to Stephan before they all stood up.

"I will speak to you again in the next week or so hopefully. Also, your bank is the same as mine, so hopefully the transfer will be instant. I will get the money sent over in the next couple of hours so check your bank after five pm. If it's not in there, it will be by Friday" Stephan explained as they headed for the door.

"Okay, thanks. That's great. Bye" Magnus smiled before him and Alec left. They walked down the street in silence before Magnus had to stop and sat on a nearby bench and looked to Alec in shock. "Did... Did that just happen?"

"I think so... Am I going to marry a millionaire?" Alec chuckled in bewilderment.

"Seems that way" Magnus snorted before he smiled brightly. "I can't believe it. I know... I know it's because my father died but still... this is... this is incredible"

"I know. I know what you mean" Alec swallowed. "What... What do we do now?"

"I don't know. What do millionaires do?" Magnus asked. The two completely shook. Neither knew what to do or say. "Go back to the hotel?"

"Okay," Alec nodded as he stood up and hailed down a cab. Both of the men climbed in before they headed back to the hotel. Magnus looked down at the stack of paperwork he had and didn't know where to start with it all.

"I'm going to sell it. I think" Magnus stated after a few minutes of silence.

"Sell what?" Alec asked confused.

"All of it. The businesses, the properties, all of it" Magnus shrugged.

"Wait really? I don't think you should" Alec stated. "Look, why not keep the business and the house or... or I don't know, two of the properties. Then you can rent them out and have a steady income. Look, there is no way that Asmodeus didn't have people in those places already. He lived in an apartment, you had another one and one was Camille's. So who is living in that house? Maybe we should find out and see if they want to continue. Charge them the rent money to come to you instead. Then do the same with another apartment or even the business and hire someone to run it"

"See. This is why I need you" Magnus chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Sounds perfect. Maybe I should hire someone to sort this all out for me"

"Izzy" Alec snorted. "She will do it for you. She's clever, good with maths and stuff and has the time. Why not let her do it? I'm sure she would appreciate the money too and wouldn't charge you as much as others"

"Would she be interested?" Magnus asked.

"Definitely. She loves all that stuff. Controlling Nerdy Geek? That's her!" He laughed.

"Okay, excellent. I'll ask her. Thank you" Magnus smiled and leaned into Alec who kissed his head.

"Maybe you can show me how thankful you are by... oh, I don't know... giving me a blowjob?" Alec whispered into his ear which made Magnus laugh.

"We shall see," He winked playfully as they pulled up outside the hotel and headed in.
