said, he did have a gigantic legitimate business as well.
I looked up at the sky— the sun was starting to peek out from behind the clouds, overtaking the dreary day with glowing light. "Goodbye, you son of a bitch," I whispered, my parting words not malicious, but not entirely positive either. I had finally started to move on, and although this brought me back a little, it was a moment I needed, especially given the sudden news that I was filthy rich. I kind of wanted to call the lawyer back and just tell him no .
I felt someone tap my shoulder. I spun around, startled.
"Excuse me, miss. Can you spare any chance?" It was a homeless man, one wearing raggedy, worn clothes. His beard and hair were unkempt and messy. He was a man very familiar with life on the streets.
"Sure," I said. I reached into my purse and pulled out my wallet. The only bill I had was a hundred . Well, t hat was that. "I'm sorry, I can't—" In that moment, I had an epiphany. I stopped talking and just handed him the hundred. " Here . Please be wise with this money, okay?"
"Oh, gee , miss. Wow, thanks! I will! " He trotted off down the sidewalk, his walk drastically improved from the depressed hobble I had seen when I noticed him. Frankly, I didn't care what he spent the money on. He was happier than he was when I first saw him, so that made it worth it to me .
I decided that I would research charities that night , to find something big and meaningful and selfless to do with that money . Roland would have wanted me to hold on to all of it , to horde it and ensure that I lived like a queen for the rest of my life. My pet only deserves the best , I could hear him say.
Sorry Roland, I thought. You're not going to win this time. The man that had won everything his whole life was finally about to lose .
As I learned the hard way, you can't control everything . But this ? This was mine, all mine .
THE END
###
Final Words:
If you made it all the way here to the end, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart . This project has been huge for me, a gigantic undertaking that was unlike anything I've ever done before. There's a full novel here, one that I'm proud for actually finishing, and even prouder about the story that was crafted a little at a time, week by week. Writing it took me to places that I never would have expected going, and I can only hope that you, the readers, enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
If you've got something to say about the series, please send a message to my publisher inbox [email protected] and let me know what you think (or leave an Amazon review) . I would highly encourage this, as it would mean the world to me.
Someday, I do intend to professionally edit/rewrite Learning to Trust, assembling all ninety-thousand words of it into a full-length work. I haven't decided just when that will happen, but I feel that eventually it needs to be done. One way or another, I'm thrilled to be sitting here in front of a giant project that has finally been completed.
As for now, I've got some new erotic romances in the works that I'll be starting very soon. I think you'll all be excited about them!
Once again, thank you so much for supporting me! I simply cannot say thank you enough.
