Chapter 10 - The Unbreakable Family
Two years after the confrontation in the rain, the massive Duca penthouse was filled with golden sunlight and the joyful sound of a child's laughter.
The days of hiding in a dark laundry room were completely over.
Elena stood in the sprawling, luxurious kitchen, wearing an elegant dark red dress. She was no longer a terrified maid; she was the respected, powerful matriarch of the household. She smiled brightly as she watched the scene unfolding in the living room.

Elena walked over and sat beside them on the rug, leaning her head against Alessandro’s shoulder as Mia proudly showed them her block tower.
