Chapter 10 - The Christmas Vow
Two weeks later, the massive Boston estate was completely repaired and beautifully quiet again.
The shattered windows were replaced, and the bloodstains were scrubbed entirely from the marble floors.
The traitorous rogue agents were quietly disposed of, leaving no trace of their existence.
The criminal syndicate was entirely secure, with loyal captains firmly reinstated in every sector.
Rowan was happily enrolled in an exclusive, private physical therapy program fully funded by Killeran.
He was making incredible progress every single day, completely safe from any future threats.
Mave was no longer wearing her simple, plain black and white maid's uniform.
She was dressed in a stunning, elegant emerald gown that perfectly accentuated her beautiful features.
She sat peacefully by the roaring fireplace in the master study, watching the dancing flames.
Killeran walked into the warm room carrying two crystal glasses of incredibly expensive champagne.
He handed her a delicate glass and sat closely beside her on the plush leather sofa.
He looked deeply into her eyes and thanked her again for saving and changing his entire life.
He openly admitted that he had been a blind, arrogant fool for ignoring her for three long years.
Mave smiled warmly, her bruised face now completely healed and glowing with pure happiness.
She gently reached out and touched his cheek, telling him she loved the man he had truly become.
They shared a tender, deeply passionate kiss as the thick winter snow fell softly outside the window.
Killeran promised her that they would run the family empire completely together as absolute equals.
They spent the entire evening peacefully planning their bright, shared future without any fear.
The ruthless mafia boss and the invisible former maid had finally found true peace together.
The terrifying conflict of betrayal, violence, and survival was completely and entirely resolved.
They were finally safe, incredibly powerful, and deeply, undeniably in love.
The antique grandfather clock in the corner chimed midnight, echoing softly through the warm study.
Killeran pulled a small velvet box from his pocket, preparing to ask her to marry him.
The heavy oak door of the study suddenly opened, and the new head butler stepped inside holding a silver tray.
He nervously apologized for the late interruption, stating that a highly urgent courier package had just arrived.

Killeran opened the small, blood-stained envelope and pulled out a single glossy photograph of Mave's supposedly deceased assassin father holding today's newspaper.
The chilling handwritten note on the back simply read, "Did you really think I would let a mafia boss keep my daughter?"
