Chapter 9 - The Woman Who Entered Kai's House as a Maid Became the Woman Who Changed His Entire Family—and the One Question He Asked Her Changed EverythingTheir wedding was small.
Family.
Friends.
Employees.
No business executives at the front.
Lily carried the rings.
Kai cried before Mara reached him.
She smiled.
“Really?”
He laughed.
“I can't control it.”
“Good.”
The ceremony was simple.
Kai promised partnership.
Mara promised honesty.
Lily promised to make sure they didn't become boring.
Everyone laughed.
After the wedding, Elena gave Mara a gift.
The original black chess king.
“You saved my life,” Elena said.
Mara shook her head.
“No.”
Elena smiled.
“You saved his.”
She looked at Kai.
“He needed someone who wouldn't be impressed by money.”
Mara laughed.
“I was impressed.”
“Not for long.”
“No.”
Kai joined them.
“What are you talking about?”
“Secrets.”
He groaned.
“Everyone has secrets.”
Lily held up the king.
“Not me.”
Kai smiled.
“You're right.”
The family photographed together.
Mara.
Kai.
Lily.
Elena.
A family rebuilt after betrayal.
A company rebuilt after fraud.

A home rebuilt after grief.
And one ordinary little girl who had started it all by picking up a chess piece.
