Chapter 31 - the lingering shadow
A decade of absolute serenity settled over the grand Chicago estate. Anna, the barefoot woman who conquered the freezing winter, was now the untouchable queen of the Sterling corporate empire perfectly.

Emma possessed her father's calculating intellect and Anna's boundless, breathtaking compassion. She was being perfectly groomed to inherit the massive philanthropic and real estate dynasty.
