CHAPTER 3 – Justice Walks Into the Ballroom
CHAPTER 3 – Justice Walks Into the Ballroom
Three weeks later...
Victoria hosted another gala.
At the very same hotel.
This time...
She invited every major business leader in Lisbon.
The hotel manager proudly welcomed guests, believing the previous incident had been forgotten.
He was wrong.
Victoria stepped onto the stage.
Beside her stood Sofia...
Lucas...
And baby Emma.
She projected security footage from the night of the gala.
Everyone watched the manager screaming at a terrified child.
The ballroom became painfully silent.
Then Victoria spoke.
"Luxury without compassion is nothing more than expensive cruelty."
She immediately announced that the hotel management company had been terminated.
The manager lost his position before the applause even ended.
Then Victoria turned toward Lucas.
She placed a small golden key in his hand.
"This opens your new home."
Lucas stared at her in disbelief.
"For us?"
"For our family."
The entire ballroom rose to its feet.
Many guests openly cried.
But someone watching from the back wasn't applauding.
Daniel Costa.
Emma's biological father.

And he had returned...
Because he had discovered exactly who Sofia really was.
