I simply love this. Am looking forward to reading more.

I've sat here for a little bit after reading this trying to absorb everything. And unless I'm missing something, just how does it benefit Virginia, Nancy, and Joan by making sure Brian married Lindsay? UNLESS Lindsay was involved with the plot, and agreed to 'pay them off' for making her dreams come true. Because, just the fact that Brian and, therefore Lindsay, would have been rich beyond means, I doubt selfish Lindsay would have shared the wealth. Which brings another question to mind, if Lindsay IS aware of the inheritance, does she want Brian because of the inherited wealth, or the fact she thinks she loves him and he belongs to her?

Now, on the flip side, I think copies of those documents should be made easily accessible to all those little flooosies. Let's see what attorney they use, and see how much change is made, and the whole lot of them will be going bye-bye for a VERY long time.

And ah, poor widdle Joanie... I presume she thought by making Brian her power-of-attorney, was not because he'd know when to pull the plug, but because he would be responsible for her well-being. He'd have to take care of her. And with all his wealth, she would be taken care of in a style she had been denied her entire life, besides him having to deal with her. Ah dear, Karma's a bitch, because not only will she never see Brian, I hope he hauls her ass in some less-than-adequate ward facility where care and treatment befits how she cared and treated him his whole life.

I look forward to your very descriptive writing regarding Joan's horror when she realizes that it's Justin and Melanie she will be dealing with, and not Brian, himself.

Thanks for the update!

Can't wait to see how Melanie and Justin deal with Joanie.  That was a lot of people to show up at the hospital.

I am so glad Brian has real family now helping him fight his old and new demons
