Chapter 19 - A Magnificent New Dawn Rises Over Chicago Skyline
Two weeks later, the morning sun cast a brilliant golden glow across the snow-covered grounds of the Lake Forest estate.
Inside the grand dining hall, the atmosphere was filled with warmth, laughter, and the sweet scent of fresh coffee.
Lily sat at the marble table eating pancakes while Nathaniel helped her draw a picture of a golden retriever.
I stood by the French doors wearing a tailored emerald dress instead of my old gray estate housekeeper uniform.
Nathaniel walked over, standing close behind me and resting his hands gently on my waist as we watched the sunrise.
“The board approved your appointment as the new Director of Community Relations for Cross Meridian,” Nathaniel whispered.
“You didn’t have to give me a corporate title, Nathaniel. Just letting us stay here was enough,” I smiled softly.
“You earned every bit of it, Elena—not just through your work, but through your resilience,” he replied, turning me around to face him.
The past was behind us, and the future stretched out wide and bright across the glittering Chicago skyline.
