Chapter 7 - Security Escorts Victoria Out Of The Grand Ballroom
The heavy oak doors slammed shut behind Victoria, cutting off her shrill cries of protest and unhinged threats.
Silence settled back over the ballroom, though the atmosphere remained thick with tension and lingering shock.
David turned back toward Rose and Ethan, his expression a fragile mix of overwhelming guilt and desperate hope.
“Rose... can you ever forgive me for not looking harder for you?” David asked, his voice cracking with emotion.
Rose stood up gracefully, holding Ethan’s small hand while looking into the eyes of the man she once loved.
“You let ambition blind you, David, just like Victoria did,” Rose answered honestly, without a trace of hesitation.
“I will spend the rest of my life making up for every single day you lost,” David promised sincerely.
He reached down, gently picking up Ethan and holding his son close to his chest for the very first time.
Ethan buried his face against David’s shoulder, finally feeling the warmth of a complete family embrace.
