Chapter 10 - The Unbreakable Empire
In the months that followed, Richard Vance was sentenced to forty years in a maximum-security federal penitentiary for corporate espionage and kidnapping, completely stripped of his stolen wealth and abandoned by everyone he knew.
Xavier ensured the divorce was finalized immediately, legally adopting Nathan and officially giving him the Blackwood name.
He completely restructured his corporate empire, stepping back from his grueling travel schedule to focus entirely on the family he thought he had lost forever. He moved Sophia and Nathan into his secure, sprawling penthouse, surrounding them with genuine love and absolute safety.
A year later, the grand ballroom of the city was lit up again for a massive celebration. But this time, it wasn't a charity gala.
It was a wedding.
Xavier stood at the altar in his sharp black suit, watching Sophia walk down the aisle in a breathtaking white gown. Little Nathan stood proudly by his father's side as the ring bearer, wearing his tiny navy suit and a massive, happy smile.

As Xavier took Sophia's hand, he looked out at the beautiful, peaceful life they had finally reclaimed. The nightmare was completely over, and the billionaire realized that the greatest empire he could ever build was the family standing right in front of him.
Do you think handing Richard over to the FBI was enough justice, or did the cruel ex-fiancé deserve a harsher punishment directly from Xavier?
