Chapter 10 - The Penthouse Sanctuary
Ten miles away, high above the snow-covered city skyline, the private elevator opened directly into the magnificent penthouse suite of the St. Regis Hotel.
The entire floor had been booked for Evelyn and her children. Warm light, fresh white roses, and soft classical music filled the spacious living room. A team of top pediatric nurses stood ready in the nursery suite, quietly taking the sleeping twins to ensure they were healthy after their brief exposure to the cold.
Evelyn sat on a plush velvet sofa near the fireplace, sipping warm milk. She wore a soft silk robe, her blonde hair damp from a warm shower, her face glowing with peace and relief.
Attorney Vance stepped into the suite, bowing slightly. "The notice has been served, Miss Ashford. Mr. Whitmore and his mother have been removed from Ashford Hall by court enforcement. The locks have been changed, and private security is stationed at every gate."
Evelyn looked out the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the snowy city below.
"Did he say anything?" she asked quietly.
"He begged for a second chance," Vance replied. "He claimed he was confused and influenced by his mother and Miss Chloe."

Evelyn smiled softly, a gentle, beautiful smile devoid of any bitterness. "He wasn't confused, Richard. He showed me who he was when he threw my suitcase into the snow. Now, I will show him who I am."
