Chapter 10 - The Best Birthday
The chaotic, violent energy completely evaporated from the grand living room.
The wealthy guests stood in absolute, stunned silence, having just witnessed the most terrifying, flawless execution of justice they had ever seen.
Claire took a deep, steadying breath. She looked down at Noah, who was still holding her hand tightly. The seven-year-old boy wasn't scared at all. He looked up at his mother like she was a real-life superhero.
"Well," Claire smiled warmly, the cold military commander completely vanishing as she looked at her son. "Who wants cake?"
The entire room erupted into massive, overwhelming applause. The guests didn't care about Ethan; they were entirely captivated by the brilliant, powerful woman who had just reclaimed her life.

Claire officially retired from her classified field work, taking a highly lucrative, public role as a cybersecurity consultant so she could spend every single day with her son. She managed her massive estate with absolute grace, fierce loyalty, and undeniable compassion.
