Christian
Robert and Doris died within hours of each other and they left a huge estate to the foundation for foster children with illnesses of any kind. We all attended their funerals and they had given their home to a very young couple that had four children. Carol and David Davidson were lucky benefactors of the Andersons. They had taken care of the Andersons when they became informed. I ran background checks on them and they are who they say they are and they cared for the Andersons from the time they got ill. Carol was a doctor who treated mostly elderly patients. David was a chemist and they have Sidney 4, Todd 3 and April 1 years old. Robert and Doris treated them like they were their great grandchildren and they were there when the babies were born. They were always at family events with Doris and Robert.

Carol and David paid for the funerals for the Andersons and they definitely took good care of them and better than most treat their family members of that age. They waited on them both and kept them healthy for as long as they lived. Sadly healthy or not life ends when it's your time to leave your body. We were all in attendance because they were family to us. We had them over and went over to see them. They were like great grandparents to our children and their cousins and our foster children. Robert lost so much at the end of his life he had so much love around him. He and Doris are with their loved ones who have already left us.

Carol
I was worried that they were too generous to us in their wills. We had no idea they were so well off until the reading of the wills. We were invited to some very nice homes and very wealthy people who welcomed all of us. Sydney, Todd and April were doted on. They were the youngest children there and we had to finally ask that they not be spoiled with gifts.

David
I was stunned when I found out Robert and Doris were both billionaires. They both looked like everyday people and shopped thrift stores, grocery stores and farmers markets. They liked sitting feeding the ducks at the park. The wills told us how wealthy they really were. They gave us their homes and set up trust funds for our children along with money for our nest egg. It was a drop in a bucket considering how much they donated to cancer patients who were in need. We are invited to all the Grey, Kavanagh, Steele, Miller, Baileys and GEH events. The kids like the Santa Claus husband and wife, this year they have new ones.

Things were finally settled with the wills Doris and Robert made. We didn't know there were going to be people come out to contest the wills but it happened. So we had to get DNA testing on over thirty people and not one was related to Doris or Robert. They really wasted our time. They had to pay for all the expenses.

It figures some people would try to lay claim to Doris and Roberts fortunes. Our wills are iron clad and there are no surprises. All our children have wills as well. Landon and Colleen wrote their wills and a few of the others have theirs as well. After we saw so many die so young we encouraged our family to write their wills out.

Alyssa
I finally was asked out by Thomas Sawyer. He has his own business where he sends out highly trained people to work in companies preparing meals and event planning as well. I was shocked but I went out with him. I thought he liked Ava, but he was working hard to get the money to start his own company. When he asked me to marry him I was shocked but said yes. Most people get nervous when they hear that I nearly died of cancer and run for the hills. Thomas was not one of those guys. He was working for others as their lackey. Now he has his own staff and he is meticulous about every detail. He oversees everything they do and trains only the best people. He also has connections to special services. I had heard whispering of his being black ops but he doesn't talk about his military service for any reasons.

Thomas
I am lucky she hasn't been asked to marry anyone yet. Her and Ava were competing for my attention but I really didn't care for Ava because she was very aggressive. Alyssa was quiet but she stood her ground in any battle. She chose ones she would win. I finally ask Christian for her hand in marriage and he gives me his blessing and asked what took me so long. I own a nice home near my company. Alyssa is living at Escala and a lot of family members are there as well. I finally get things up and running and hired a lot of staff to be my minions. I also hide the fact that I am getting some trustworthy friends from my time in the military. Only certain people know that I am offering these jobs and services to very elite people. These are people specially trained to go covert. Ray Steele is one of us, he stayed a hostage to save so many people. Sadly no one caught the human traffickers until the dating site and Hyde killed more of the clients. I don't know all the details but I was shocked to see his wife by his side.

The wedding went well and Alyssa was very beautiful in her wedding dress. My staff was making sure everything was perfect for us. I took Alyssa to her favorite place in the world. We visited the Londons in New York and some of the foster homes for dying children. We kept a smile on our faces and brought them gifts from a list we were given. Talk about happy children. Alyssa was one of these kids at one point and she is a success story and that gave them hope. Landon was as well, Rose, Allen and Andrew as well. Christian and Anastasia started a small group and it grew into an international group.

Ray
I watch and know Alyssa will be safe with Thomas. He has kept my secrets and I am glad. I saved so many and lost so many, but we couldn't get a lead on who was involved in the human trafficking until Leila and Lily were killed. We finally found the evidence and we were able to arrest everyone. It was just before midnight that they were exposed.

Hope you enjoyed the story.

The End.
