English is not my native language, so sorry for any mistake. And know that it probably will take long to update, because I have to translate and it is completely new to me.
IMPORTANT! The fic was already posted in portuguese (complete) as "Herança de Grego". If you read portuguese you can find it in my profile.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Kisses!
PROLOGUE
"Having never had children, no husband, no longer having parents, I can leave all my property to whomever I want, so I leave everything I own for my niece, Rachel Barbra Berry. However, the goods shall only be transferred for her name when she gets married, being under the tutelage of my brother, Hiram, while this condition is not fulfilled. "
Rachel could not believe what she had heard during the reading of the will of her aunt Ethel. How could her aunt do this to her? Putting this kind of condition? Her aunt knew very well she didn't have a boyfriend! That under the age of 25-year-old she had had only two boyfriends and that both relationships ended bad. She even had sexual relations with anyone but these two men in her whole life. And one of them got out of the closet after they finished!
At the end of the day, the revelation of Jesse had been a good thing, of course, because now he was her best male friend. But you can not fail to have this as a kind of trauma in your history, can you? Having sex with only two men and one of them not even enjoy it?
The gentleman who had read the will approached Rachel and handed her an envelope which she thanked him and opened immediately. It was a letter from the deceased woman, explaining her reasons for putting that condition in the will.
The fact was that Ethel had spent all her life unmarried. She had never been open for love and, because of this, her only family was formed by Hiram, Leroy and Rachel and maybe she had disguised very well, but she was not really happy. Lately, she missed having someone to lie down in the evening, to have her meals with, children for her to teach Jewish traditions. She completely regretted the choices she had made.
"My little star, I want you to know that there was someone in my life. A man whom I loved very much! But I was stubborn, proud, and thought myself superior than others. I preferred my fortune, my success, my fame, to his love. I ripped him from my life and there is nothing that I regret more. " Said her aunt, in an excerpt from the letter.
Rachel felt a little sorry for her aunt. It must be truly difficult being so lonely! But she still didn't consider it fair having to wait and find someone she loved and loved her back in order to receive the inheritance, and finally quit her job as a waitress in a diner in NY, and devote herself fully to her passions, which were music, dance and theater. Her aunt had been a big movie star, so she should have known that her niece had to devote herself to study and work hard.
Expecting Prince charming could take too long! She had 25! Who starts on Broadway so late? If her aunt was proud and stubborn, she was ten times more and would catch that fortune. She would find a way.
