Chapter 8 - A Safe Haven

Sophia stopped in her tracks, looking up at the powerful syndicate boss with nervous hesitation.

"You and your daughter saved my life, Sophia," Lorenzo said softly, his voice warmer than she had ever heard it before. "And in return, my fiancée tried to drown you in ice water and locked your child in a room."

"I was just doing my job, sir," Sophia replied humbly. "I couldn't let anyone hurt you."

Lorenzo reached out, gently lifting Sophia’s chin so her eyes met his. "You are no longer a maid in this estate, Sophia."

Sophia blinked in confusion, her heart skipping a beat. "Sir? Am I... am I fired?"

Lorenzo let out a soft, genuine laugh—a rare sound that made his sharp features instantly soften.

"You are appointed as the executive manager of this entire estate," Lorenzo announced clearly. "You and Ella will move into the master guest suite on the top floor tonight. You will have full security protection, the best doctors for Ella, and a permanent salary."

Tears of immense relief flooded Sophia’s eyes, spilling over her cheeks as six years of struggle, poverty, and fear washed away in a single moment.
