Epilogue Summary
One year later, the world had changed.
The Steele empire no longer existed — its name wiped from every ledger, its fortune scattered across rebuilding projects and recovery funds.
In a quiet coastal town far from the noise of the city, Lydia ran a small art studio overlooking the sea. The walls were filled with color — everything she had once dreamed of painting but never had time to.
Every morning, she brewed two cups of coffee.
Every morning, Jaden joined her on the balcony.
No private jets, no security detail, no secrets. Just wind, laughter, and the gentle rhythm of the tide.
Sometimes, when the past crept in, Jaden would stare at the ocean and say, "I still see the faces. The ones I couldn't save."
And Lydia would take his hand and whisper, "You saved me. That's enough."
They didn't need to say "I love you" often — it was written in the silence between them, in the way their eyes met, warm where they were once cold.
And beneath those cold eyes… a heart finally learned to live.
