“I don’t mean as a business deal,” Victor continued. “I mean as a family. You and Lily gave me something I thought I lost forever.”
Hannah thought for a long moment.
Then she nodded.
“But we become a real family,” she said. “Not a lie.”
Victor smiled.
“For the first time in my life,” he said, “I want something real.”
A New Beginning
The wedding was small and quiet in the mansion garden.
Just three people who had once been completely alone.
Victor Kane—the man the city feared—held his daughter in his arms and kissed his wife beneath the winter sun.
The past could not be erased.
But for the first time in years, Victor understood something he had forgotten.
Power meant nothing.
Money meant nothing.
The only thing that truly mattered was the small family standing beside him.
And as Lily laughed in his arms, Victor Kane realized the truth:
Sometimes the people who save your life aren’t heroes.
