CHAPTER 3 — A New Beginning
Weeks later, the mansion felt completely different.
The cold marble halls were no longer filled with fake smiles.
Victoria had left after the truth was exposed.
Her perfect image disappeared overnight.
But inside the mansion, something new began.
Ethan finally had what he always wanted.
A family.
Claire sat beside him in the garden while Alexander watched them from a distance.
For years, he thought he lost his wife.
Now he realized he had almost lost his son too.
“I’m sorry,” Alexander said quietly.
Claire looked at him.
“For believing a lie?”
“For not searching harder.”
Claire stayed silent for a moment.
Then she smiled slightly.
“We can’t change the past.”
Ethan ran toward them holding a drawing.
“Look! It’s our family!”
Alexander looked at the picture.
A father.
A mother.
A son.
Together.
He smiled.
For the first time in years, the mansion felt like a home.
Because the greatest luxury was never the diamonds, the cars, or the money.
