Chapter 10 - Forever Home
Two years later, the sun rose over a peaceful, bright Moretti estate.
The old rules of the house were gone forever. There were no warnings about not touching silver handles, no fear of speaking, and no dark secrets hidden behind closed doors.
Inside the spacious upstairs playroom, seven-year-old Lily sat at a small wooden table, guiding three-year-old Enzo as he learned to draw shapes with colorful crayons.
Vincent walked into the room carrying a tray of fresh fruit, followed by Emily, who held their newborn baby daughter, Clara, wrapped in a soft pink blanket.
"Look, Enzo!" Lily pointed to her paper. "I drew a bunny!"
Enzo giggled, clapping his small hands. "Bunny! Bunny!"
Vincent sat down on the floor beside them, putting his arms around Emily and the kids. He looked down at the red cloth tag tied neatly around Clara’s baby bottle—tied into soft, perfect bunny ears.
"You know, Lily," Vincent said softly, kissing his daughter’s forehead. "You're the bravest little girl in the whole world."
Lily smiled brightly, hugging her father's neck tightly. "Because I listened to Mommy, and I cared about Enzo."

"And because you brought us all home," Emily added, leaning her head against Vincent's shoulder.
Outside the window, the garden bloomed in brilliant colors under the clear blue sky. The house that had once gleamed like a lie was now filled with truth, laughter, and an unshakeable love that would last for generations to come.
