It was always you

Chapter 25

When someone you love passes away, it's a tragedy. It's a type of pain that no one wants to experience, the memory that was left behind, their belongings, it pains the person closest to them, but somehow you would find the strength to move on, you still have a life worth living, and you have people depending on you.

2 days since Sasha's funeral, it's almost New Years. The Parker's and the Vega's - Pablo & Samuel, were called to gather today, Sasha wrote a will and in front of them sat a lawyer explaining the process of will execution, not many of them were paying attention, they were still wallowing in their grief for Sasha.

"I know this is painful, especially because she touched all of our lives, individually she has made a huge impact, she's even impacted my own life. I grieve with you and I understand your pain. But today, I need to explain her will and what she left behind" Linda explained.

"Juliana Marie Hernandez (mami), Ted Johnston Parker, Pedro Andy Parker, Clayton Javier Parker, Emily Valeria Parker, Michela Rhonda Brown, Pablo Vega and Samuel Baker Vega, today I will read letters individually written to you as an option or if you would like to read it privately will be entirely up to you. Mateo Ashton Parker, your letter will be given to you to be read privately" she paused looking at everyone, ensuring she mentioned everyone as per the will.

"Sasha Annabelle Parker, the deceased, has granted full custody of Talia Rose Parker and Tessa Emerlyn Parker to their biological father Mateo Ashton Parker. The deceased would like to grant Pedro Andy Parker as the godfather to Talia Rose Parker and Tessa Emerlyn Parker, and Michela Rhonda Brown as the godmother to Talia Rose Parker and Tessa Emerlyn Parker, if Mateo has any objections, the subject is open to changes, if Pedro and Michela wished to decline, please do speak with Mateo and discuss, then revert back to me. If any tragedy happens, or the biological father Mateo, is deemed unfit, the deceased would like to appoint Pedro Andy Parker as the legal guardian to both Talia Rose Parker and Tessa Emerlyn Parker" Mateo looked over to Pedro and nodded, Pedro nodded in acknowledgement , while Linda continued

"The deceased, owns 50% shares of Pablo's by the beach with Pablo Vega, the deceased would transfer her 25% shares to Talia Rose Parker and 25% to Tessa Rose Parker, and for any profits belonging to them, it should be transferred to an account which has to be made by Mateo Ashton Parker, and it shall not be withdrawn until 24th December 2037. For the management of the restaurant, the deceased would like to seek Juliana Marie Hernandez for help, and until the twins are able to make decisions Juliana Marie Hernandez will execute the works with a base salary, which will be taken from the 50% profits from the girls. The contracts signed between the deceased Sasha Annabelle Carter and Pablo Vega still stand valid" Linda paused to take a sip of water, looking at everyone, her heart ached.

"The deceased bought an apartment in New York 2 years ago, it is on lease with a tenant, the property and it's profits will be given directly to Mateo Ashton Parker, with that is a short letter regarding the property.

Mateo,

I bought this place when I was still with Raphael 2 years ago, it's not a big place, but it helps me generate some income, it's 1 block away from your gym, don't worry, the property is fully paid off, please take this money to help the girls or to support yourself. This is one of my parting gifts to you. Do what you want with it, it's yours.

Lovingly,

Sasha

"The deceased has a safe deposit box, and this cheque of $1,000,000, would be post dated and it will be left for the twins Talia and Tessa, the safe deposit box access will only be given to Mateo Ashton Parker, inside it contains her jewelry and some emergency cash" she took out the letters that would be read out as promised in the beginning.
