Chapter 10 - Sarah Walks Out Into The Freezing Night
Sarah took one final look around the lavish master bedroom before turning toward the grand staircase with her duffel bag.
She walked down the polished wooden steps, her boots clicking rhythmically against the floor where the soup had spilled.
Mr. Harrison waited at the bottom of the stairs, holding a set of new security keys and a corporate black card.
“Your private pilot is warming up the Gulfstream at Teterboro Airport whenever you’re ready to fly home, Sarah,” Mr. Harrison said.
“Thank you, Mr. Harrison... for everything you’ve done to protect my grandfather’s legacy,” Sarah replied with genuine gratitude.
“It was my professional honor, Sarah. Your grandfather was a remarkable man who knew character when he saw it,” the lawyer smiled.
Sarah stepped out through the massive oak doors into the crisp, biting night air of the affluent suburban neighborhood.
The towering Christmas tree inside the bay window glowed brightly, casting a warm amber light across the snowy lawn.
She breathed in the clean, freezing oxygen, feeling a profound sense of liberation wash over her entire spirit.
