The seasons turned once more.
Time moved forward like a river that never stops flowing.
Year after year had passed since all the storms that once shattered Sophia's life.
The world kept changing. The city grew and expanded. Their company became larger and more successful.
Their son grew taller and more mature. Yet one thing remained exactly the same.
Their home was still filled with laughter.
Their home was still filled with love.
And every time Sophia looked at the life she now had, she felt the same deep gratitude she had felt all those years ago.
That morning, the mansion felt busier than usual.
Several servants moved back and forth, preparing everything needed for the family gathering that would take place later that evening.
It was not a grand ball.
Not a business event.
Just a simple family dinner to celebrate Sophia and Adrian's wedding anniversary.
Even though they had passed through so many years together, this tradition had never changed.
