Chapter 16 - The Family Estate Undergoes A Thorough Search

“We are going to tear down that nursery wing, Emma, and build something entirely new and bright for her,” Vittorio decided.
“That’s the best idea I’ve heard all year, Mr. Vance. Miss Lucy deserves a fresh start in a home filled with light,” Emma smiled.
Vittorio nodded, feeling a heavy weight lift off his shoulders as the dark ghosts of the past were systematically purged.
