For years, Titan Holdings had been the shadow looming over Isabella's life.
Now, that shadow was gone.
She should have felt relief. Victory.
Instead, standing beside Alexander in the quiet of the morning, she felt something unexpected—uncertainty.
A Future Without War
Claire sat on the edge of a desk, scrolling through her phone. "The media's still going crazy. Calloway's arrest is all anyone's talking about."
Damian leaned back in his chair, stretching. "We did it. Titan's done. No more threats. No more running."
Alexander crossed his arms, watching Isabella. "And yet, you don't look satisfied."
She exhaled, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "It's just… for so long, my goal was taking them down. Now that it's over, I don't know what comes next."
Alexander studied her for a moment, then said, "We decide what comes next."
A New Beginning
Damian grinned. "You could always take down another corrupt corporation. Seems to be your specialty."
Claire chuckled. "Or, you know, actually take a vacation for once."
Isabella smirked. "I don't even know what I'd do with free time."
Alexander tilted his head. "Maybe it's time to figure that out."
She met his gaze. Once, they had been rivals, locked in an endless battle. Now, he was standing here, offering her something different.
A future.
Maybe it was time to stop fighting the past.
Maybe it was time to see what else life had to offer.
And as she looked at Alexander, she realized—she wasn't afraid to find out.
