Chapter 19 - Hadrian And Sorrel Begin Healing In A Safehouse
Weeks after the sensational trial concluded, Hadrian packed up the sprawling Seattle estate and moved to a quiet coastal retreat.
The new home overlooked the calm, crashing waves of the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by towering pine trees and fresh air.
Sorrel sat on the wooden back porch sketching pictures of smiling families with bright yellow suns and green grass.
Hadrian walked out carrying two mugs of hot cocoa, stepping carefully across the wooden deck so he wouldn't startle her.
“How are your drawings coming along, sweet artist?” Hadrian asked warmly, sitting down on the bench beside her.
Sorrel held up her sketchbook with a bright, genuine smile that reached all the way to her sparkling blue eyes.

“This is you, this is me, and this is our new home where nobody can ever hurt us again,” Sorrel said proudly.
Hadrian pulled her into a tight embrace, feeling his heart finally heal from the dark nightmare of the past.
