Chapter 9 - Sophia Returns To The Penthouse In Person At Dawn
As the first golden rays of dawn broke over the glittering American skyline, the private elevator chime echoed through the floor.
The doors slid open quietly, and Sophia stepped out into the grand penthouse living room in her emerald-green maternity dress.
Her posture was strong, her gray eyes clear and focused, carrying the powerful grace of a true business matriarch.
Elena ran forward, wrapping her arms gently around Sophia in a warm, tearful embrace of profound relief and joy.
“Welcome home, Mrs. Sophia. Thank God you and the baby are safe,” Elena whispered into the quiet morning air.
“Thank you for holding on, Elena,” Sophia replied, returning the hug before walking over to the large glass balcony doors.
The U.S. flag snapped proudly in the clean morning breeze, illuminated by the bright sunlight reflecting off the Hudson River.
