Chapter 10 - The Ultimate Protector
The cold, terrifying executioner completely vanished from Lorenzo's dark eyes. He looked exhausted, deeply vulnerable, and his face was filled with a profound, overwhelming gratitude.
He didn't look at Elena like a maid. He looked at her like a savior.
He dropped to one knee right on the floor, entirely ignoring his expensive suit. The golden retriever puppy trotted over and happily laid its head on Lorenzo's knee.
Little Mia, completely fearless, walked up to the towering mafia boss and gently patted his arm. "You kept him," she smiled.
Lorenzo finally smiled back. It was a beautiful, genuine smile that reached his dark eyes.
"Your job as a housekeeper ended the second that dog walked into this room," Lorenzo vowed, looking directly at Elena, the absolute power of his massive wealth backing every syllable.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a solid black titanium keycard, handing it to the weeping mother.
"I am elevating you to the Director of Estate Operations," Lorenzo continued softly. "I am quadrupling your salary. I am moving you and Mia into a massive, heavily guarded private suite in the master wing, and I will personally ensure Mia has the best education in the world. You are no longer the hired help. You are family."
Tears of pure, unadulterated joy spilled down Elena’s cheeks. She hugged Mia tightly, realizing they would never have to struggle or live in fear ever again.
