Chapter 4 - Grace Under FireOver the next two months, Amara completely transformed Cole Manorânot with money, but with warmth and heart.
She treated the household staff with profound respect, learning their names, ensuring fair working hours, and cooking meals alongside the head chef. When the head gardenerâs daughter fell ill, Amara quietly used her personal allowance to pay for the girlâs medication.
Slowly, the staff grew to fiercely love and protect their new mistress.
Moreover, the cold, silent mansion began to feel like a real home. Every evening, Adrian found himself eager to leave his corporate office to return home to Amara. They spent hours talking by the library fireplace, discussing books, philosophy, and business strategies.
Adrian realized that behind her humble exterior, Amara possessed a brilliant, analytical mind that rivaled top corporate executives.
One evening, while looking at her across the dining table, Adrian realized the contract had lost all meaning. He was falling deeply, helplessly in love with his wife.
He reached across the table, taking her soft, warm hand in his.
âAmara,â Adrian whispered, his eyes filled with genuine affection. âWhen the six months are over... I don't want you to leave.â

âI don't care about a name,â Adrian said softly, kissing her fingers. âI care about you.â
