Chapter 11 - The New Head of Estate
With the police cruisers driving away into the distance, a profound, peaceful quiet returned to the grand Duca villa.
Clara stood near the marble steps, holding Maya in her arms as her body still shook with residual shock. She wiped her eyes, looking down at the ground as Lorenzo walked up to her.
"Mr. Duca... I am so sorry for the chaos this caused," Clara whispered, her voice filled with deep humility. "I'll pack my things and leave right away so your family isn't burdened..."
"Leave?" Lorenzo interrupted, his deep voice carrying a warm, unquestionable firmness. "You just saved my estate from millions of dollars in theft, Clara."
He reached out and gently patted little Maya’s head, making the small girl giggle.
"As of this moment, Renata is gone," Lorenzo declared smoothly. "The position of Head Administrator of the Duca Estate is yours. Your salary will be tripled, and you and Maya will move out of the staff quarters and into the west wing guest suite immediately."
