Epilogue: A New Beginning
Weeks later, the dust had finally begun to settle. The company was on its way to recovery, and Zaria had proven herself more formidable than even she had believed. The experience had changed her, sharpened her instincts, and reinforced what she valued most—loyalty, integrity, and the strength to stand against adversity.

Zaria turned to face him, and for the first time, she allowed herself to believe that maybe, just maybe, love and ambition didn’t have to be at odds.
With the past behind her and the future ahead, she was ready to embrace the next chapter of her life—on her terms.
