Chapter 11
“What was?”
She looked at the city.
“Learning that I could survive without you.”
The words hurt.
But Callum smiled.
Because he understood.
“And now?”
She turned toward him.
“Now I know I don’t need you.”
A pause.
“But I choose you.”
Those words meant more than any promise.
More than any vow.
Because Callum finally understood:
The most valuable things in life were never the things you could control.
They were the things that stayed...
when they were free to leave.
He wrapped an arm around her.
Not holding her.
Not claiming her.
Just standing beside her.
And for the first time in his life, Callum Moretti had everything he had spent years chasing.
Not power.
Not fear.
Not an empire.
A home.
And the woman who chose him every single day.
