Chapter 12 - The Maid Who Saved My Son Was About to Leave—Until I Gave Her My Wife's Final GiftClara planned to leave.

She believed her job was finished.
I found her packing.
“You're leaving?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Leo is safe.”
“That isn't an answer.”
She looked at me.
“You don't need me anymore.”
I handed her Isabella's final envelope.
“She left this for you.”
Clara opened it.
Inside was a simple necklace.
And a note.
Clara,
If my son survives, thank you for giving him the chance.
If Lorenzo survives, remind him that love is stronger than fear.
Clara cried.
She stayed.
Not as a maid.

Not as an employee.
As family.
