“ALL OF IT?!”

“All of it,” I repeated Vic’s words with never before heard determination and finality.

Vic didn’t hide the shocked on her face. Michael was also surprised, yet he quickly recovered.

“Leanna, are you sure? We are speaking about all your money here!

I could understand the panic and unwillingness in her voice. I was going to invest all my money in the Fay’s Family Business Empire.

It’s now or never.

This action of investing all my money was also an act of willingness to give my all to Cain.

What can go wrong?

If Cain betrayed me, at most, my mind would probably malfunction and go insane. My heart, shattered and never to be put back into pieces again. My body, broken and my soul would disappear into the great beyond.

What’s there to fear, right?!

“Vic, I’ve made my decision.”

…..

…..

“Leanna, it’s not even a month that you settled in New Haven, and yet, you’ve already become enamored with Cain Fay’s charms?” Vic didn’t hide the disdain in her tone and the disgust on her face.

I weakly smiled at her.

“You can say that.”

…..

…..

Victoria sighed wryly.

“I can’t talk you out of this, can I?”

I calmly stared at her, with resolute eyes and voice said, “No, you can’t. My decision is final.”

Vic slightly shook her head with a scowl on her lovely face.

“You’ve become another one of those crazy fans of Cain Fay.”

I just smiled at her which made Vic frowned even more.

“Please do it now Vic… and Michael, prepare the necessary papers… I want this whole thing done and over with as soon as possible.”

Vic was about to retort, but stopped by Michael.

“As you wish.” He said with his usual smooth, deep, baritone voice.

I nodded and was about to say my goodbyes when Michael said some more words.

“I’m glad to know that you’re motivated by something now.”

Then they logged off.

…..

…..

Motivated?

I smiled.

You can say that I have found something that I wanted to protect and fight for.

Money, it would come and go. But the moment, the now – it would never return.

I didn’t want to hold anything back just because of uncertain futures.

Let the future come, I will live every moment in the present.
