Chapter 15 - THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CROWNMonths passed.
The Sterling mansion changed.
It no longer felt like a fortress.
The heavy curtains were opened.
The rooms filled with sunlight.
Leo began walking.
His first steps were toward Clara.
She laughed as she chased him through the garden.
Julian watched from the terrace.
He had lost billions.
But somehow, he had gained something worth more.
A family.
Victoria entered therapy.
She began rebuilding her life away from wealth and manipulation.
Evelyn moved closer.
The sisters slowly learned how to become sisters again.
It wasn't easy.
There were arguments.
Silences.
Old wounds.
But there were also dinners.
Laughter.
Memories.
And one evening, Clara found Victoria sitting alone.
"You okay?"
Victoria smiled faintly.
"I don't know."
Clara sat beside her.
Victoria looked toward the garden.
"Do you think people like me can really change?"
May you like
Clara answered:
"I think people who don't want to change never ask that question."
