My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0919

Maximus drove to the bank where his family usually handle their affairs. Strangely, It seemed as if the manager had always known that someone would eventually come asking about locker 300. As soon as Maximus requested access, the man smiled and immediately led him to the vault.

Once there, he pointed out the locker and handed Maximus key. At that moment, Maximus was certain–the manager had known he would come someday. As soon as he was inside, the man gave him space, stepping away to let him go through the contents in private.

The locker sat on the table. Inside were several documents, but on top of them all was an envelope with his name on it. Maximus opened it and began to read:

[Maximus,

If you’re reading this, it means I’m dead. By now, I’m probably on my way to a well–earned spot in hell.

I worked hard all my life to build what we had, but a part of me was never at peace. A part of me always knew something wasn’t right. And if you’re here, it means I was right.

I’ll keep this brief. Inside this locker, you’ll find the deeds to your house and Catherine’s. They are no longer tied to me—I transferred them to Laura’s name. That means they’re not technically mine anymore; it was a donation. You’ll just need to go through a few formalities, and they’ll officially be in your hands.

I hope you live a long life, Maximus. Take care of my grandchildren. And hopefully, one day, Lucius will find his way back to you all. I don’t want my son to live a lonely life.

Maximus folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and began sorting through the contents of the locker. Just as Leonardo had said, the property deeds were there–his own house, as well as Catherine’s, where she had spent her final days.

As far as he remembered, that house had always belonged to him. But as if Leonardo had foreseen something, he had changed the ownership, and now it belonged to his daughter.
