Chapter 15 - The Family Restored
One year later.
The warm golden sunset glowed over the private gardens of the Drake estate in Greenwich.
Mia ran across the soft green lawn, her laughter echoing through the trees as she played tag with her golden retriever puppy. Her dark curly hair fluttered in the evening breeze, free and unburdened.
On the sunlit stone terrace, Julian stood behind Naomi, wrapping his arms around her waist as they watched their daughter play.
Naomi leaned back against his chest, her hand resting over his, a soft, contented smile gracing her lips.
"Six years ago, I thought my life was over when I walked away from you," Naomi whispered softly, looking up at the clear twilight sky.
Julian turned her gently in his arms, kissing her forehead with deep, eternal devotion.
"You gave me a daughter, Naomi," Julian murmured gently. "And you brought my heart back to life. You are my home, now and forever."
