Chapter 4

What is the condition?

Nudity Clause

"Your Great Aunt wanted me to show you this when you and your immediate family arrived in my office." Snidely said as he cleared his throat, holding up a disc before inserting it into his computer. He then turned the computer screen to face Lauren, Vanessa, and their mother. After a few seconds, a video of Aunt Audrey appeared on the screen.

"My dearest Lauren," Audrey said with a cough, "if you're watching this video, then I'm already six feet under."

"And hopefully burning in - " Lauren's mother muttered but was cut off by Mr. Snidely clearing his throat.

"As you know," the video of Audrey continued, "I have made millions throughout my life. Millions that I am handing off to you. But, as I hope that Mr. Snidely has already told you, there's a catch. You must follow this catch to the letter, or else nothing will be given to you. No money. No land. No cars. Nothing! With all that said," Audrey gave another cough, "here's the catch. For the past eighty-six years of my life, I have put trends and beauty above all else, caring about what was on the outside at all times. But now, in the last year of my life, I realized the beauty has nothing to do with how you look on the outside. It's a cliche, but it's true. That's why I don't want you to take your beauty for granted. I want you to express it to it's fullest the instant you leave Mr. Snidely's office! To throw away your makeup and show the world what true beauty is!"

Lauren sat there in confusion. Was that the catch to this? To live out the rest of her life without makeup? "I could live with that, I - " Lauren muttered to herself, only to be interrupted by the video of Aunt Audrey.

"If I'm not making any sense, Sweetie," Audrey concluded, "I'll make it very simple. This condition will start the instant you leave Mr. Snidely's office. Lauren," Audrey gave one last hard cough before continuing, "in order to receive your inheritance, you must spend one entire year, starting from the instant you leave this office, in the nude."

And with that, the video ended... Leaving a horrified and red faced Lauren sitting in her chair, jaw slack and eyes wide.

What did her Great Aunt just say?!

What's next?
