FROM ETHAN TO KYLE

Kyle stepped out of his bedroom and into the long, winding hallway. The soft carpet beneath his feet muffled his footsteps as he made his way towards the grand staircase. He had spent the previous night in the mansion, but he still couldn't shake off the feeling of being a stranger.

As he descended the stairs, Kyle's eyes wandered over the opulent decorations. The mansion was a testament to his family's wealth and influence. He turned left at the bottom of the stairs and entered a long corridor lined with doors.

Kyle's curiosity got the better of him, and he began to open doors. He discovered a library with shelves stretching to the ceiling, packed tightly with books.He had never been surrounded by so many books,shelves upon shelves of books. He ran his fingers over the spines, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. His eyes landed on a large, leather-bound chair behind the desk. It was his father's chair.

Kyle sat down, feeling a sense of connection to his father. As he looked around the room, his eyes landed on a small, intricately carved wooden case on the desk. It had a small inscription on the lid: "For Kyle."

Curious, Kyle opened the case and found a small, ornate music box inside. A small note attached to the box read: "Play me."

Kyle wound the music box and let the soft, melancholic tune fill the room. As the last notes faded away, the room fell silent.

Suddenly, a hidden panel in the bookshelf slid open, revealing a small screen. A video of his father, Ethan, appeared on the screen.

"Kyle, my son," Ethan's voice filled the room. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you growing up. I know I missed so many important moments in your life."

Kyle's eyes welled up with tears as he watched the video. His father's words cut deep.

"But even though I wasn't there in person, I was always watching over you," Ethan continued. "I saw every graduation, every field play, every stage play. I saw the person you've become, and I couldn't be prouder."

Kyle's gaze drifted around the room, taking in the framed photos and mementos from his childhood. He remembered the feeling of being watched, but he had never suspected it was his father.

"That's why I've left you my entire estate," Ethan said, his voice filled with emotion. "Not because I felt obligated to, but because I've seen the kind of person you've become. You're kind, compassionate, and strong. You deserve everything I have."

Kyle's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected this.

"I was always there, Kyle," Ethan said, his voice cracking. "I just never had the courage to meet you in person. I'm sorry for that. But I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

The video ended, and the room fell silent once more. Kyle sat in stunned silence, processing his emotions and the revelation about his father's presence in his life.

Kyle sat in stunned silence, the weight of his father's words settling in. He felt a mix of emotions: sadness, anger, but also a sense of understanding.

He thought back to all the times he had felt like he was being watched, all the times he had sensed a presence in his life. It had been his father, always lurking in the shadows.

Kyle's eyes wandered around the room, taking in the memories and mementos of his childhood. He saw himself as a child, playing with toys, laughing with friends. And he saw his father, always there, watching over him.

A lump formed in Kyle's throat as he realized the sacrifices his father had made. He had given up his own life, his own desires, to ensure Kyle's happiness.

Kyle's eyes welled up with tears as he felt a sense of forgiveness wash over him. He forgave his father for not being there, for not being present in his life.

But as the tears dried, Kyle felt a new emotion rising up: determination. He was determined to make his father proud, to live up to the legacy he had left behind.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Kyle stood up, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Kyle walked into the study, where the family's lawyer, Mr. Kane, was waiting for him.

"Ah, Kyle, good morning," Mr. Kane said, standing up to greet him.

"Good morning, Mr. Kane," Kyle replied, shaking his hand.

"Please, call me Kane," Mr. Kane said with a smile. "We've got a lot to discuss, Kyle."

Kyle nodded, taking a seat in one of the leather armchairs.

Kane sat down behind the desk, opening a folder filled with papers.

"As you know, your father's estate is quite extensive," Kane began. "His liquid cash assets total approximately $43.6 billion."

Kyle's eyes widened at a staggering amount.

"In addition to that, your father had investments in shares, which should be worth around $20-30 billion," Kane continued.

Kyle's eyes nearly popped out of his head. The sheer scale of his inheritance was almost too much to comprehend.

"Your father's businesses are also a significant part of his estate," Kane explained. "There are several companies, including real estate holdings, tech investments, and more. We'll need to review each of these companies and determine the best course of action for managing them."

Kane handed Kyle a thick binder filled with documents and reports.

"This binder contains all the information you need to know about your father's estate," Kane said. "I've included detailed reports on each of the companies, as well as information on the shares and liquid assets."

Kyle nodded, taking the b taking the binder from Mr Kane.

"You do not have to worry I'll be here to get you through the entire process".said Mr Kane."we'll work together to ensure a smooth transition and ma

ke sure you are comfortable with the management of your father's estate"
