She resisted at first.
“I don’t want to be temporary in your world.”

His sisters embraced her warmly. His parents welcomed her with pride.
When Hannah’s mother later demanded millions to “stay silent,” Nathan calmly handed her a modest check.
“This covers anything you claim,” he said. “Hannah owes you nothing more.”
For the first time, Hannah felt free from the weight of a past she didn’t choose.

Bright. Elegant. Hers.
On opening night, Nathan surprised her with a cake.
“I’ve never had a birthday cake,” she whispered.
“Then we start now,” he smiled.
