Chapter 9 - Years After the Wedding Contract Was Stopped, Dominic Returned to the Table Where Lily Had Saved HimLily was fourteen.

The old dining room was renovated.
The same mahogany table remained.
Dominic placed a coffee cup in front of her.
She smiled.
“What's this?”
“Your inheritance.”
She opened the envelope.
Inside were the trust documents.
Her name was on everything.
“I don't want it.”
Dominic smiled.
“You don't have to use it.”
“What do I do with it?”
“You decide.”
She looked at her mother.
Then at Dominic.
“I want a school.”
“For what?”
“For kids who lost their families.”
Dominic smiled.
“Then build one.”
Lily did.
The foundation became her passion.
Daniel helped.
I helped.
Dominic funded it.
Years later, it became one of the most respected charitable programs in New York.
The empire had become something completely different.
