208: NEW THINGS

LUKE’S POV

So here I was, finally opening the doors to my new mansion. Yes, I had moved to a new one worth millions of dollars. And standing right here, next to the building, the excited chatter and flashes of

cameras were all here.

I could feel the weight of the keys in my hand, a symbol of all my hard work and success. And I gazed up at the sky, knowing my grandfather would be way happier with this.

“Wow, Luke, this place is amazing!” Randy came out, looking everywhere.

“It’s like a castle!” Ethan added, his eyes wide with amazement.
