Chapter 18 - A Different Kind of InheritanceArthur changed his will.
Not because he feared death.
Because he finally understood what an inheritance should mean.
The fortune would not simply be handed to Leo.
It would be protected.
A trust would fund his education.
A foundation would support children who had lost their parents.
Another portion would help families who could not afford medical treatment.
Arthur wanted the Sterling name to mean something different.
Not wealth.
Not power.
Not entitlement.
Responsibility.
Leo watched him sign the papers.
"Does that mean I'm rich?"
Arthur laughed.
"It means you're responsible."
Leo frowned.
"That sounds worse."

"What?"
"Money can buy a house."

Arthur looked toward the sea.
"But love makes it a home."
