Chapter 9 - The Empty Chair Was Finally Moved—and Adrien Asked Lena to Put Her Name Beside HisThree years later, the Romano mansion had changed.
The forbidden room became a library.
The old chair remained.
But Mia eventually moved it.
She didn't need a chair that belonged to someone who was gone.
She chose her own.
Lena watched.
Adrien smiled.
“She doesn't need ghosts.”
“No.”
“She has us.”
Adrien kissed Lena.
Then gave her a key.
“What is this?”
“Our new house.”
“Our?”
“Yes.”
She stared.
“No mansion?”
“No.”
“No guards?”
“A few.”
She laughed.
Then he knelt.
“I don't want a contract.”
She froze.
“I don't want an arrangement.”
He opened a ring box.
“I want a family.”

Lena cried.
“Yes.”
