Chapter 20 - Dominic Makes A Life Changing Declaration To Mia
Under the warm glow of a harvest moon stretching across the Hudson River, Dominic and Mia stood together on the grand terrace.
The estate hummed with quiet serenity, surrounded by acres of private gardens and centuries of family history.
Dominic turned to face Mia, his dark eyes shining with an intensity that made her breath catch softly in her throat.
“Mia,” Dominic began, his voice surprisingly gentle for a man who commanded the most feared empire in the country.
“From the moment Harper whispered those five words on the staircase, my entire world shifted on its axis,” he confessed honestly.
“You brought light into a very dark house, and you showed me what true strength and unyielding loyalty really look like,” he added.
He reached into his tailored jacket pocket, pulling out a small velvet box and opening it to reveal a magnificent diamond ring.
“Will you do me the honor of officially making this house your home, and letting me be a father to Harper?” Dominic asked softly.

Mia stared at the ring, tears of pure joy spilling over her eyelashes as she looked into the eyes of the man who saved them.
“Yes, Dominic. Yes, a thousand times yes,” she whispered, stepping forward into his strong, protective embrace.
