Chapter 16 - Sarah and Lily Move into the Protected Estate
Later that afternoon, a sleek black town car rolled smoothly through the wrought-iron security gates of the Westchester estate.
Little Lily pressed her face against the window, gasping in wonder at the sprawling stone mansion and manicured gardens.
“Is this our new castle, Mommy?” Lily asked, her eyes wide with innocent excitement as the car parked by the fountain.
“Yes, sweetie. This is where we live now,” Sarah smiled softly, feeling a profound sense of safety wash over her.
Adrian opened the car door for them, offering his hand to help Sarah step out onto the polished cobblestone driveway.
Lily ran straight into Adrian’s arms, giggling as he swung her up into the air with a wide, genuine grin.
“No more hiding, princess. No more drawing dads without faces,” Adrian promised, kissing her forehead tenderly.
Sarah stood beside them, watching the powerful mafia boss transform into a doting, gentle father right before her eyes.
