“Jade is a good, kind woman. She’ll accept Cortney.”
Even knowing Amara had likely murdered Ronald, he couldn’t blame the child.
A child was a blank slate.
He was sure Jade would see it the same way.
Emily studied him for a long minute before shaking her head.
“I honestly… I have no words for you.”
She rose from the sofa, smoothing her dress.

“Also, your father told me to remind you: tomorrow is the boxing gym meeting with Howell. This deal is the future of the firm. Bert is counting on it. Don’t be late.”
“Yeah.”
Hudson stood to walk her out.
“I’ve got it, Mom.”
Emily waved him off. “Don’t bother. Fix your own disaster before you worry about me.”
Shortly after she left, Kevin arrived.
He stood before Hudson to deliver the report. “Sir, the hospital called. Both Amara and Lyndon are in critical condition. Amara’s face is permanently disfigured. There’s a police guard on their rooms. Once they can talk, they’re looking at life sentences.”
“They earned it,” Hudson said casually, his attention focused on the blueprints on his desk.
He picked up one design and compared it to another.
Both layouts were based on things Jade had mentioned over the years.
He wondered which one she’d pick.
Kevin watched him, looking curious.

Hudson didn’t look up. “Designs for a garden villa. A surprise for Jade when she moves back in.”
“This garden villa has yards in the front and back. Perfect for flowers or a small orchard. It’s right by the water, great natural light.”
Jade listened to the realtor as she surveyed the property.
“The previous owners were an elderly couple. The wife’s health is failing, so their son is moving them abroad. They didn’t want to leave, so the son is trying to sell it fast to make the move permanent.”
Click.
The realtor punched in the code and pushed the door open. Jade walked in, looking around.
It was a three-story build with terraces on the upper levels.
The interior matched the outside-creamy white walls, wooden cabinetry, and soft white curtains that caught the breeze.
It felt warm, well-loved, and incredibly peaceful.
It radiated a sense of genuine happiness.
Jade loved every inch of it.
She reached into her bag and pulled out the card containing the profits from her studio.
“I’ll take it.”
The paperwork was handled in record time.
Jade signed the contract and became the official owner of the garden villa.
The studio was fine, but it was a rental.
She needed a home that was truly hers to feel safe.
She drove back to the property, changed the locks, and walked through every room alone.
This was the home she had dreamed of.

And she had earned it herself.
The joy in her chest felt like it might burst.
