Struggle

Once upon a time, there was this small town girl named Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a very outgoing woman who dreamed of becoming an inked magazine model. Growing up, Elizabeth did not come from money. She always had a crazy imagination. Elizabeth struggled her Whole life trying to always make ends meet. At the age of 16, Elizabeth found out that she was pregnant, one thing led to another and the father wanted no part of her or her daughters life. Elizabeth dropped out of school, worked multiple jobs just to make ends meet. It was like she could never catch a break. Bill after bill, having to be both mom and dad for her child, it was hard and sometimes very overwhelming. Every night Elizabeth dreamed of having a rich uncle that she knew nothing of and she dreamed that one day how cool it would be if he left his fortune to her. As Elizabeth grew older, the stress became very serious to her health. She would cry herself to sleep at night because she never though she’d ever be good enough for anyone, and she felt like she was failing her daughter. Times were hard and she was losing hope and faith. Elizabeth had finally hit rock bottom, begging for a saving grace in hopes that would day, she could eventually have what she always dreamed of having, to better herself, her future, and her child’s future. On December 9,2018 Elizabeth received an unexpected phone call from a number in California.

Elizabeth: Hello?

Caller: I’m looking for Elizabeth Bradford

Elizabeth: this is her, may I ask who is calling?

Caller: Miss Elizabeth, I’m sorry to have to bother you, but I have some news for you. Please prepare yourself, sit down mam.

Elizabeth: umm... okay I’m sitting down, can you please tell me what this is all about?

Caller: My name is Mr. Cody Wall, I’m calling on belhalf of, Mr. John Bradford. Mr. Bradford has recently passed and I’m handling all of his assets. I’m sorry for your loss, if there is anything I can do all you have to do is let me know. In the event before Mr. Bradford’s passing he has left you his mansion, his vehicle’s, and over 3.5million dollars. I will set up a meeting place and time at your convenience to go over any of the necessary documents.

Elizabeth: in shock, oh my goodness this is horrible news. I do have to say that I am unaware of a Mr. John Bradford.

Mr. Cody wall: yes mam, I am aware of the situation, Mr. Bradford said you would not remember him. That is okay, I have all documentations that you will need to see for proof of your belated uncle.

Elizabeth: okay, this has got to be a scam! What do you want?

Mr. Cody Wall: Miss Elizabeth I assure you, this is no scam. Is there anyway you can meet me at Jenn’s diner Monday December 20th at 9:00am?

Elizabeth: yes I can do that. I’ll see you then ( hangs up the phone )

Elizabeth is just torn between ( is this a scam? Could this person be a stalker? I wonder if he kidnaps people? ) her mind runs non stop until she falls asleep.

December 20th 9:00am Elizabeth sits at a booth in the far left corner surrounded by strangers, coffee, food, and waiters. The door opens and a tall handsome man walks in with brown hair, brown eyes, and a suit. Very attractive man she thought.

The man gets closer and approaches Elizabeth and says, “ you look just as beautiful as Mr. Bradford described. In shock, Elizabeth says are you Cody?

Yes, he replies. He sits down in the booth facing her and starts to show all these documents, and all these child hood photos of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth is very curious as to why she’s never or even remembers meeting this man.

Among going through all the documents, Elizabeth found something that struck her eye. It was a will. The will said, “ My dearest Elizabeth, as a young man I made a lot of mistakes in my life, I want you to know that I love you beyond measure. I tried many time to contact you. I tried to be there for you. I tried to find you. I never had any luck. I hired a PI, that found you, he followed you for weeks, months, years, and even days on end till my passing. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I found out the struggles you were going through and I wanted to leave everything to you. Please forgive me as it wasn’t my fault. Please accept this as it would be a great pleasure in my passing knowing that you will always be taking care of.

Reguards, John Bradford

She sat in silence and started wondering just exactly who is this man. Elizabeth proceeds to sign all the documents accepting this proposal.

December 21st Elizabeth flys out to California and reaches the huge mansion that is now her’s. As she walks in she noticed a office in the foyer, she starts to go through the desk and came across a locked drawer. She finds the key and opens the drawer in shock she found a huge surprise.

Turns out, Mr. John Bradford wasn’t even her uncle at all, he was her biological father that left her his whole fortune and realized just how blessed her and her child truly was.

The End
