Chapter 7

Epilogue

A year later, Nissie gave birth to a girl. A month later, Sam gave birth to a boy. Though both were shocked, they were more than happy. Sam had finally achieved her ninth-year status. Nissie had started to invest in a number of enterprises that paid off more than triple. Assti finally let her assistant, Fouchan, take over running the business for her. It was said that the screams that came from her business lasted well over two weeks before they were finally silent. Assti told Mark she had been hard pressed to not kill him quickly.

Little Arthur started to assist Mark when he turned 8, entering the school as soon as he could. His sister, Catrina, became a mediator as famous as her grandfather and mother.

As for the other son and daughter, aptly named Mark II and Assti, after Nissie’s sister, they also became famous. Mark II became the top adviser to the next emperor, this one far less pompous and a hell of a lot better listener. Assti went into a more safety-related field, developing completely flame-resistant clothing, the best space suits in over 300 years. Plus, she had a knack for knowing exactly what a person wanted almost before they did. In all, the family was already rich because of Nissie’s investments, but they soon became very powerful, second only to the emperor.

A Good Man https://bookapy.com/s/1192/a-good-man Tom Palance’s life was in the gutter. He’d walked out on his bitch of a wife. At work, he got scammed and the boss had fired him. While staying at his brother’s house and borrowing his sister-in-law’s car, he’d dented the roof. Now staying at a hotel, he looked at the total “suck” that his life had become, and then, something changed. For the better? It seemed that way. Time would tell.
