The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 368 - Your Guilt-ridden Father

Right now my mind is full of fear and my hands shake as I write this letter. Don't hate me because I know that I ruined it all.

Anne, Helena and Jason will come after me. They know that I am hiding this money somewhere and for the past two days they have been monitoring my movements. I can't inform the police because our family is rotten on the inside. I am so ashamed of Anne that I can't even begin. If I go to the police, the media will create a scandal and our family name will come down. I am scared that whatever I earned in lifetime would come crashing down in a day. I am sorry kids but I am not a strong man. I do wish that these three never succeed. I am sad that my mother favors Anne to the extent that she has turned a blind eye towards everything else. I am sad that it is her greed that has brought this catastrophe on us. But I don't blame her. She had seen the worst life and now she wants to cling on the power she thought she would never achieve.

Just a few words of advice—

Never stop enjoying and let the world tell you what to do. Be honest to yourself and tell them to go and fuck themselves. Chase those butterflies.

You should rebel if you feel that you are being subjected to mental torture. Never let anyone subdue you.

Fall in love and be true to that. I am the worst example of what a man can be. So never follow me.

Always remember that both of you are loved beyond words. Erase my name from your memory if possible.

The money over here is going to last for generations to come even if both of you choose not to work. I have been collecting it away from the eyes of my greedy mother from a long time. All those bonds are worth millions of dollars. And I have stopped calculating the price of the diamonds. Now you know why I even had that chain of jewelry store? All this is legal.

I trust that you will use this wealth wisely and with utmost care. In fact I know that with Dawn, Cole will always be in safe hands and with Cole, Dawn will always be in safe hands. You both are the strength of each other, don't become weak.

Take everything from here, my children and free my soul of the guilt that I didn't do anything for my children's future. This is the least I could do.

That being said the money belongs to both of you, so divide it equally amongst yourselves.

I love you. Your mother loved you. And now I am not afraid to go to her.

Love always,

Your guilt-ridden father and your biggest fan"

By the time Dawn finished the letter, she noticed that some words were blurred. Perhaps her father had shed tears as he wrote it. Her eyes were streaming with tears. She held the letter in her hand and put it next to her heart and looked up at the ceiling. Cole got up and hugged his sister. None of them could speak for a long time and they just held each other. With heavy hearts the children collected all of it.

Cole said, "Do you want to leave it here, or do you want to take it all?"

"I will take it all with us and transfer to a different place. We will surrender this locker because there is a chance that people are following us," said Dawn.

Cole nodded.

When they came out, they found Daryn sitting there and waiting for them patiently.

"Let's go!" said Dawn.

They reached Silver Mansion and Dawn narrated everything to Daryn. In the end she said, "I need a fresh locker."

"It will be arranged baby. What else?"

She turned to look at Cole and said, "There's a lot of money in it Cole. We can buy the Starfish Refineries once it is back for sale. Do you want that? If not I understand."

Cole shrugged. "I don't know Dawn. Let us first keep all this safely somewhere."

She nodded and then picked out a certificate from the red leather box. "I would like to test this. If we sell even two out of these, the Wyatt business will come out from seventy five percent debt!"

"Then do it," said Cole.

Their father was such an intelligent man. The children were awed.

Daryn smiled at the siblings. He marveled at their father's intelligence and the fact that the man gave up his life to protect the kids and to protect the wealth he had accumulated for them.

For the next few days both Dawn and Cole didn't know how to react to the whole situation. It was a lot to take in. They estimated that it was impossible to liquidate all the money Luke Wyatt had collected. And if they would, enemies would sniff it. Moreover Cole wasn't interested in liquidating it because it wasn't needed at the moment. In fact he became scared that Dawn might ask him to leave her after giving him his share of wealth.

"I don't think we should touch father's wealth as of now," he had suggested subtly. "I mean do you need money?" he asked. "If you do, then by all you can take two more gold bond certificates and sell them." He looked at his sister who was staring at him with blank expressions. "If you don't want to, it's okay…" His bit his lip.

"I don't need the money Cole, but do you?" she asked, wondering whatever he meant by that conversation.

"What? Hell! No!" He shrank. "I don't need it at all. Just keep it back in a locker!"

Dawn frowned. "Why are you behaving like that? This is your money and you will have to take charge of it one day!"

Cole's face became red with anger. "I knew it!" he grated and got up from the bed.
