CHAPTER 164
The private dining room was warm and inviting. A long table filled with food. Candles flickered softly and laughter filled the air. Dante sat at the head of the table. Amara sat beside him, looking beautiful in a simple green dress. Caleb was next to her, already reaching for the bread. Eleanor sat across from them, looking very elegant and poised. Dr. Alice laughed at something Caleb said. Eva poured wine for everyone with a huge smile on her face. Clara sat at the far end, very quiet but present.Dante raised his glass. “I want to say something.”Everyone turned to look at him.He smiled. “A few months ago, I was alone. Fighting battles I did not ask for. Worried about Daisy. Worried about everything.” He paused. “And now? Look at this table. Friends. Family. People who believed in me.”Caleb grinned. “Here, here.”Dante continued. “We have been through a lot. All of us. Be we have made it. Together.”Clara spoke up. Her voice was soft. “I want to say something too.”The room quie

Dante walked through the familiar corridors of the children’s hospital. The smell of antiseptic. The quiet beeping of machines and the soft footsteps of nurses, all brought back memories.He carried a bottle of wine in one hand as a small gift for an old friend.He reached Dr. Alice’s office and knocked lightly.“Come in,” her voice called from the inside.He opened the door to see Dr. Alice sitting behind her desk, surrounded by stacks of files. She looked up and smiled widely as she saw me.“Dante!” She said in surprise and stood up quickly. “What a surprise!”Dante smiled. “I can come back later. You look busy.”“Nonsense.” She waved him in. “Sit. Come sit. These files can wait. They have been waiting all week.”Dante walked in and placed the wine on her desk. “For you. To say thank you. For everything.”Dr. Alice picked up the bottle and examined it. “French. Expensive.” She grinned. “You should not have. But I am glad you did.”They both sat down.Dr. Alice leaned forward and sai

Eva stood behind the counter of her boutique, as she arranges a display of scarves. The afternoon sun streamed through the large windows, bathing the air with warm light, and soft music player in the background.Her assistant, a young woman named Gina, walked over looking confused.“Ma’am, there is someone here to see you, Mrs. Vance. Clara Vance.”Eva’s hands stopped moving instantly. She looked up, with a shocked expression on her face. “Clara? Here?”Gina nodded her head. “She says it is important. Should I tell her to leave?”Eva was quiet for a moment. Then she shook her head. “No. Send her in.”Gina hurried away.Eva exhaled slowly and walked to the small bar innthe corner of her office. She did not know what to expect.Clara walked in a moment later. She looked different. Softer. Her eyes were tired but clear. No make up. And she was on simple clothing.Eva watched her for a second. Then gestured to the bar.“Wine or whiskey?”Clara shrugged. “I am not celebrating. Whiskey.”Ev
CHAPTER 161
The sun was warm and shining bright. Dante sat on a park bench, watching Dantr run across the grass. She laughed happily as she chased a butterfly. Her small legs running fast and her long chestnut hair flowing wildly behind her.Dante smiled. It was so good to see her happy. After everything she had been through, she deserved this.Dausy stopped running and looked around. Then her face changed.Dante followed her gaze to see Clara standing at the edge of the park. She wore a simple dress without makeup and her hands were clasped in front of her. She looked nervous and scared.Daisy stood up and moved quickly. She ran to Dante and hid behind him and gripped his jacket with her small hands. “It is okay,” Dante said softly. “She is not going to hurt you.”Daisy did not answer. She just held on to his leg tighter.Clara walked toward them slowly. Carefully. Like she was approaching a wild animal. Then she stopped a few feet away.“Daisy.” She said in a soft shaky manner. “Baby, it’s me.
CHAPTER 160
The Lotus boardroom was packed with every seat at the long table filled. Board members whispered restlessly among themselves. Clara sat at the head, with her face pale but determined. Dante sat at the far end, looking very calm and watchful, while Caleb stood by the wall, watching the proceedings with sharp eyes.Then the door opened.Mason walked in like he owned the place. Three lawyers followed him, each carrying a briefcase. Mason entered with a cruel, confident smile on her face.Clara stood up and asked sharply, “what is this, Mason?”Mason did not answer. But one of the lawyer’s stepped forward and announced in a formal tone.“Ms. Vance, my client is now the rightful owner of Lotus Group.”There were Loud murmurs around the table and the board members exchanged shocked glances.Clara asked sharply. “On what grounds?”The lawyer opened his briefcase and pulled out a thick file, then he placed it on the table.“These documents show that Mr. Lockwood has acquired enough shares and
CHAPTER 159
The bar was quiet and dimly lit and Dante sat in a corner booth with Caleb, and a half empty bottle of whiskey between them. Both men looked relaxed, with huge grins over their faces.Caleb raised his glass for a toast and jeered, “To Mason Lockwood. The man who lost everything on one night.”Dante clinked his glass against Caleb’s and smiled, “I will drink to that.”They both laughed and drank.Caleb shook his head in amazement and said in a mocking voice, “I still can not believe it. The gala. Amara. Clara walking in on all of it. Mason losing his hotel, his money, his son, all in one day.” He chuckled. “That is a huge karma.”Dante nodded his head and said, “And the way he disgraced Clara at the gala. Right in front of everything. Fighting over another woman while his fiancée watched.”Caleb laughed loudly. “Shameless. Absolutely shameless.” Then he took another sip. “But honestly, Clara deserved every bit of that embarrassment.”Dante raised his eyebrows and shrugged, “you think s
