The last few chapters were marked by the fierce court battle between Brett and Sanquita mother. Unfortunately, Sanquita didn't survive her labor and left Brett with her daughter- Austin Elizabeth. In the end, Brett came out as the winner for the title of the legal parents. It could be seen that Brett has matured a lot and ready for taking care of the baby. 

Another Bravery of Brett which she didn't have before, could be seen when She was trying her best to reject a man that loves her and her baby so much. She has a perfect man in front of her, who loves her unconditionally, but somehow, from the way she feels, we knew that she didn't really love the man. She was too afraid to let him go. The same goes with how she was with Andrew. But now she knows clearly what she really wants for her life and takes the courage to reject the man.

Through the end of the story, Brett finally found his true love. Remember the psychiatric whom she found so comfortable with? Indeed, He was the same Burberry man whom Brett falls so hard with. The fact that these two ideal men in Brett life suddenly mixed become one, made Brett couldn't help but fall in love with them again. 

In the end, Brett finally found her true happiness and the love of her life. They all thanks to her mom's wish which made her into a girl she is now. Brett was not the coward, ignorant girl anymore. Instead, she is a woman who knows exactly what she does and wants in her life. She has broken free from the cage- the reality which has blinded her perspective all this time. 

I believe a lot of us was just like the old Brett. Living in our comfort zone. Feeling lost and misguided. We often not sure about what we want for our live. Sometimes, we are so ignorant that we often do things that make us unhappy. We are too afraid of changes. It's scary obviously but it is the one phase that we have to face in our life.

The process of life is not easy. We have to overcome a lot of obstacles. Sometimes, We need to get hurt and learn from experiences. The fact that Brett was able to move out of her comfort zones really inspire me. It is not about the inheritance or about the reward that you'll get when you are accomplishing your task. It is all about the experiences and the lessons we get during the process. 

This story teaches me that no matter how good/bad you do. How many times you fail in your life. It's okay. 

Because every time you fall, you will come up as a stronger person.
