Chapter 10 - The Rebirth of the Estate
Three months later.
The dark, oppressive atmosphere that had once shadowed the sprawling Moretti estate was completely gone, replaced by warm sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The black and white maid dress was gone forever.
Elena sat at the head of the massive mahogany desk in the executive suite, wearing an elegant ivory tailored business suit, her brunette hair flowing softly over her shoulders. Beside her sat a team of legal advisors reviewing the final documents restoring her full equity shares in Moretti Holdings.
Standing near the window, looking out over the manicured gardens, was Luca. He watched her with quiet pride as she signed the legal papers with firm, confident grace.
Mia ran across the plush carpet wearing a little pink sun hat, carrying a tray of freshly baked cookies provided by the estate staff—who now treated Elena with the utmost respect and reverence due to the co-owner of the enterprise.
“Mommy! Look! I drew a picture of our family!” Mia cheered, handing a colorful drawing to Elena.
Elena looked down at the drawing. It showed Mia, Elena, and a tall man in a suit holding a gold pen, with a bright yellow sun shining above them.
Elena looked up at Luca, her hazel eyes shining with warmth and profound gratitude.
“Thank you, Luca,” Elena said softly. “For believing in us when we had no voice.”

Luca stepped closer, resting a warm hand gently on her shoulder, his thumb brushing against her wrist—which was now completely healed, clear, and unblemished.
👉 “You always had a voice, Elena,” Luca replied with a soft, rare smile. “You just needed your rightful place at the table.”
