Chapter 16 - The House Nobody Could Take Away
Adrian sold three of his four luxury homes.
He bought the duplex where Nora and Lucas lived and transferred it into a protected trust for them.
Nora refused at first.
Adrian told her to consider it eleven years of unpaid child support with terrible interest.
For the first time, stability entered Lucas’s life.
Adrian began building a routine.

Thursday homework.
Saturday pancakes.
