Chapter 13 - The Birthday Celebration
A year later, the grand marble corridor was decorated with pastel balloons, soft floral arrangements, and joyful music for Emma's fourth birthday party.
There were no arrogant socialites or greedy schemers in attendance—only true friends, loyal allies, and loving family.
Emma darted across the polished floor in a bright yellow dress, happily holding her favorite plush blue rabbit, its seam now delicately mended with silk thread.
Alessandro dropped to one knee, presenting his little niece with a beautifully wrapped present and a gentle embrace.
"Thank you, Uncle Alessandro!" Emma chirped, giving him a sweet hug.
