CHAPTER 13: The Legacy Begins
True to his word, Marcus used his vast fortune and influence to establish a foundation dedicated to protecting vulnerable orphans and children in need across the country. He spent the final months of his life doing genuine charity work, finding a joy he had never known in his pursuit of wealth. Before he passed away peacefully in his home, he ensured that Thomas, Leo, and Gabriel were granted full legal protection, privacy, and an estate in St. Jude.
The town of St. Jude embraced the small family. The locals knew there was something special about the boys, but out of respect and love, they kept the secret safe, forming a protective barrier around the cottage by the sea.
Years rolled by like waves crashing against the shore.
