Chapter 319- Moving forward

"D'Souza villa. I had Anthony go and check a few more spots. There were a few more secret safes." Ara Cruz answered. "By the way, I have asked Zain to sell that villa and buy another in Trinity Residence for me."

"But-"

"Before you object, Rizelle, please hear me out," Ara began, her voice steady and determined. "I want this. I can't spend my whole life relying on you and Zain. Dad has offered for me to move in with him at his estate, and Father Cruz has even suggested I consider staying at Cruz Villa. But I don't want to be dependent on anyone. I want to live my remaining life on my own terms, in my own way. Please understand. Oh, and I also got a job as a professor at CentralFord University. I start on Monday."
