Chapter 19 - The Happy EndingSix months later, the Astor Estate had changed.

The dark renovation wing was demolished.

The hidden room became a memorial garden.

The ballroom was opened to children from local charities.

The mansion was no longer a monument to power.

It had become a home.

Leo was healthier now.

He laughed more.

He ran through the garden without looking over his shoulder.

Anna had become the head of the household staff and one of Leo's most trusted guardians.

One afternoon, Richard pushed Leo on a newly built mahogany swing.

Higher.

Higher.

Leo laughed.

Richard laughed with him.

For a moment, everything seemed perfect.

The nightmare was over.

Justice had been served.
