Lauren adjusted her hospital gown, the bright room humming with discharge preparations, Emma nestled in her arms. Alex stood nearby, his crutches steady, his smile warm. “Ready to go home, Lauren?” he asked, his voice soft, his eyes hinting at something big.

She grinned, kissing Emma’s head. “More than ready, Alex. Emma’s gonna love the mansion.” Her heart swelled, her love for him deep, the contract for Orchid Enterprises—now Clara’s—tucked away, her fight done.
