Chapter 8: A New Beginning

Months passed.
The world slowly forgot the scandal.
But Marcus and Khloe never forgot the night everything changed.
Their son was born on a rainy spring morning.
Marcus held him carefully.
His billionaire hands, used to signing million-dollar contracts, now trembled holding something priceless.
Khloe watched him.
“You’re scared.”
Marcus smiled.
“Terrified.”
She laughed softly.
“I’ve never seen you afraid.”
He looked at their child.
“I’ve never had something this important.”
The birth changed them.
They no longer cared about appearances.
They no longer cared about society’s expectations.
They cared about home.
The mansion that once felt cold became filled with laughter.
The rooms that once held secrets became places of happiness.
And every night, Marcus reminded Khloe of one thing.
“You are not temporary.”
She smiled.
“Good.”
May you like
“Because you’re stuck with me.”
For the first time in a long time, Khloe believed it.
