Chapter 9 - A Legacy Reclaimed
The next morning, sunlight flooded through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion, replacing the dark shadows of the night before. Damian sat in his mahogany study, fully recovered, wearing a tailored black suit. Standing across from him were Mara and Lila.
Damian pushed a thick legal folder across his large desk toward Mara. "Open it," he instructed gently. Mara hesitated before opening the file. Inside were legal deeds, trust fund documents, and ownership papers for a luxury home in the city's safest district.
"You will no longer serve as a maid in this mansion or anywhere else," Damian stated firmly. "This estate provides a permanent trust for Lila's education and medical care, including the best speech and hearing specialists in the country. You are under my personal protection for the rest of your lives."
