## A FINAL REQUEST BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE ### An Emotional Story of Surrogacy, Sacrifice, Forbidden Love, Faith, and the Family Grief Created **KYLIN** I am no savior. I could not save my husband, our unborn child, or the family members who died while I sat behind the steering wheel. Yet somehow, I have become responsible for a dying woman's final dream. Ruthanne Yates did not ask me for money. She did not ask me to pray harder, cure her cancer, or promise that death would not come. She asked me to carry the children her body could no longer create-with my egg and her husband's sperm. And against every warning screaming inside me, I said yes. --- **RUTHANNE** Cancer has stolen my strength, my future, and every child I once carried beneath my heart. Now time is running out. I know what I am asking of Kylin is unimaginable. She would become the biological and birth mother of the babies my husband and I have prayed sixteen years to hold. But I am no longer afraid of what the church will call wrong. I am afraid of dying before hearing someone call Rhys *Daddy*. So I make one final request. Give us the children we were never allowed to keep. And when I am gone, do not let the family we created fall apart. --- **RHYS** I have spent years preaching faith to grieving people. Now my wife is dying, another woman is carrying my children, and the church I helped build believes the miracle growing before them is proof of adultery. They want Kylin gone. They want me removed from the pulpit. They want Ruthanne's final act of love buried beneath scandal. But the truth is more complicated-and more powerful-than any rumor. Three wounded people said yes to an impossible family. Two babies are coming. One woman is running out of time. And before Ruthanne takes her final breath, she will ask us for a promise that could bind our lives together long after hers ends. **A FINAL REQUEST BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE** is a deeply emotional, interracial family drama abo

She's flawed, she sees things through a twisted perspective, she's not the best but she thinks she is, she's the girl who you'd see on Instagram and which you were, she feels everyone should be under her. Well, that's what makes her Yazemi. She doesn't know anything about life obviously. Would the death of someone teach her a few lessons about life? Or the numerous pranks and her sudden sickness? A/N: Bro, I'm so bad at descriptions, especially when it has to do with summary(╥﹏╥)

Alliances with the Mother have been made from generation to generation to solidify kingdoms. ------------------------ As the youngest child of the Royal Curianese Family, Princess Adonia grew up understanding the importance of duty. The biggest problem faced by Adonia was that the King always allowed her to live her life as free as a whisp of wind. Living unbound by the traditions that governed the way in which the Curianese people comported themselves placed an unfavorable label on the young Princess Adonia. Her displayed lack of respect for tradition labeled her 'Different'. The price she would be forced to pay for being different would bind her to a world unlike any she had ever known before and may prevent the young princess from casting her eyes upon her people or Curianese lands ever again. ------------------------ "The Duke de Valois is one of my sons whom I cherish with my heart. I would refrain from recommending he and your dear sister, the Princess, be joined in marriage if I were not prepared to extend her my protection. The protection of the crown is sacrosanct. Anyone who dares lay a finger or so much as a wagging tongue on Princess Adonia will officially be considered to have committed treason." The King stood before them as he made a vow to the Royal Curianese Ambassadors. "Wait. Your Highness... Brother... what are you saying?" Princess Adonia rattled on not sure of what she had heard. "Yes, Your Highness. What is the meaning of this?" The Duke de Valois joined the princess's effort to make sense of the words that had been spoken. The Duke and the Princess are forced to navigate a course of which neither of them is prepared to engage.
