Dominic

It's been a few days now since my mother transferred those shares to me and I still can't get over it.

After what happened that same day with Vanessa and Uncle Jerry, I couldn't really go out and celebrate as that would've been insensitive of me, which is why I decided to wait until Saturday and the day is finally here.

Usually, I'd be doing this in the evening but I thought Frank and I would start early, which is why we're already having a heavy feast at his restaurant and it's only 9 in the morning.

After sipping from his glass, he says, "You know, it's crazy how you already spoke to your dad so you could work less but you now have more shares to focus on."

I smile at him. "That's no big deal. I'll find a way to handle it because honestly, this is the best gift ever. Vanessa can have all the estates possible but for me, this is better."

"I've been meaning to ask you this. How did Jake and Sophie feel about this?"

"They wholeheartedly congratulated me." I proudly chuckle.

"Wow, that's cool. I didn't expect that since that's your mom's most important company."

"My siblings know when to fight for what they believe also belongs to them. I haven't seen any of that so far, so we're good."

He nods, stroking his chin. "Hmm... I wonder what you'll get me for my birthday this upcoming weekend."

"You really want me to tell you?"

"Usually, I like my surprises to just be surprises, but I'm curious as hell, so tell me."

I lean forward and say. "You're getting a handshake from me."

He looks away, shaking his head with a scoff. "Don't you dare try that shit with me because your birthday's next month!"

"That doesn't change my mind at all," I reply to him, looking down at my phone to reply to Vanessa's text.

As Frank goes on to talk about a few memories from last year's birthdays and I throw in a few moments of my own just to mock him, my enthusiasm fades at the notification at the top of my screen from the gossip sight, making my eyes widen.
