Chapter 142: Never happened
Abby sat in the dimly lit room, her hands trembling slightly as she waited for the meeting to begin. Beside her, Remo offered a reassuring squeeze of her hand. Across from them, Cage sat with a stack of papers in front of him, his expression solemn and composed.
"Thank you both for coming," Cage began, his voice steady. "I know this is a difficult time for you, but there are some matters that we need to discuss regarding your father’s funeral arrangements."
Abby nodded, her throat tight with emotion. She had dreaded this meeting, knowing that it would force her to confront the reality of her father’s passing. But she knew that she had to be strong, for her father’s sake.
Cage flipped through the papers in front of him, his gaze focused and attentive. "As your father’s legal representative, I’ve been in touch with the funeral home to make the necessary arrangements. They’ve assured me that everything will be taken care of according to your wishes."
Abby swallowed hard, her mind racing with memories of her father. Remo squeezed her hand again, offering silent support as Cage continued to outline the details of the funeral service.
There would be a private viewing for family and close friends, followed by a larger memorial service for business associates and colleagues. The arrangements would be lavish and extravagant, befitting her father’s status as a wealthy businessman.
As Cage spoke, Abby couldn’t help but feel a sense of detachment from the proceedings. It all seemed so surreal, as if she were watching from a distance, disconnected from the reality of her father’s death.
But then Remo’s gentle touch brought her back to the present, reminding her that she was not alone. With his support, she found the strength to nod along with Cage’s words, to make the necessary decisions regarding her father’s funeral.
Cage cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses before continuing. "Now, regarding the date for the services, the funeral home has provided us with a few options based on their availability and your preferences."
