Chapter 15 - A NEW DAWN
One year later.
The grand estate was filled with laughter and classical music.
The spring flowers bloomed brilliantly along the pristine stone pathways.
Sarah walked through the gardens in a stunning emerald silk dress.
The irony of the color did not escape her.
She had reclaimed the emerald silk from the ghosts of the past and turned it into her own armor.
Julian walked up beside her, offering a glass of sparkling water.
“The board meeting went flawlessly,” Julian reported with a grin.
“Good,” Sarah smiled, taking the glass. “Because tomorrow we launch our new global philanthropic foundation.”
“Your father would have been proud of you,” Julian said softly.
Sarah looked out over the sparkling fountains.
She touched the bare skin of her neck where the platinum chain once hung.
She didn’t need a key anymore.
She didn’t need anyone’s permission to open doors.
She owned every door in the building.
She looked up at the bright blue sky, taking a deep, confident breath.
The nightmare was over.
The empire was safe.
And her future was entirely her own.

THE END.
THE END
