Chapter 10 - FOREVER IN THE GREENWICH ESTATE
One year later, the Greenwich estate looked entirely different.
The cold, museum-like stiffness that had once defined the Harmon mansion was completely gone. Laughter echoed through the marble hallways. The gardens bloomed with vibrant colors, and the staff kitchen was filled with the rich, comforting scent of fresh baking and genuine happiness.
On a brilliant autumn afternoon, the black iron gates stood wide open.
Cars lined the circular driveway, filled with close friends, trusted colleagues, and the extended family Rosa never knew she had. But there were no paparazzi, no ruthless socialites, and no cold corporate agendas.
In the center of the grand foyer—the exact spot where a terrified little girl had once held out a shiny gold button—stood an altar adorned with white lilies and autumn leaves.
Lily, now four and a half years old, wore a charming white dress with a yellow sash, scattering rose petals down the aisle with absolute concentration and a bright, missing-tooth grin.
At the end of the aisle stood Ethan, waiting patiently in a classic black tuxedo, his eyes fixed on the staircase.
When the music began to play, Rosa descended the grand staircase. She wasn't wearing a housekeeper's apron. She wore a breathtaking ivory lace gown that caught the afternoon light streaming through the tall windows. Her dark hair was pinned up with the very same gold brooch that had once belonged to Ethan’s mother—a symbol of heritage, healing, and unbreakable love.
Ethan watched her walk toward him, the billionaire empire he had built paling in comparison to the true treasure he had found in the quietest corner of his life.
When Rosa reached the bottom step, Ethan took her hands in his, their fingers intertwining effortlessly.

“Welcome home, my love,” he whispered.
And as Lily giggled from the front row, holding Bun high in the air, the Harmon estate finally became what it was always meant to be: a true home filled with warmth, truth, and an enduring love that defied all secrets.
