Chapter 10 - The New Family
In the weeks that followed, Dominic completely dismantled every single one of Marcus’s hidden accounts. The USB drive Lily had bravely saved contained all the proof needed to fully restore the Carter family fortune.
But Dominic didn't just give them their money back. He legally adopted both Lily and Noah.
The dark, lonely mansion of the mafia boss was completely transformed. The halls were filled with the sound of a baby laughing and a little girl running. Lily never had to wear a faded dress or starve again. She was given the finest education, a beautiful room, and the absolute, unwavering protection of the entire Chicago syndicate. No one dared look at her the wrong way.
Rosa, the waitress who had shown such incredible empathy and bravery, was promoted to Head of Estate Management, moving into the mansion to help raise the children alongside Dominic.
One evening, a year later, Dominic sat in the very same private restaurant. He wore his tailored charcoal shirt, his sleeves rolled up.
But this time, he wasn't eating alone.
Lily sat across from him, healthy, glowing, and smiling brightly as she cut her steak. Baby Noah was sitting in a high chair next to him, happily throwing mashed potatoes.
