Chapter 20 - The Legacy of Love
The annual Al-Farsi charity gala was being held at the grand estate once again.
This time, there were no scheming ex-fiancées or treacherous uncles to ruin the night.
The ballroom was filled with laughter, music, and the most influential people in the country.
Tariq stood on the grand balcony, holding a sleeping newborn boy against his broad chest.
Samira, now a confident and happy six-year-old, was twirling in her princess dress on the dance floor below.
Chloe walked up behind her husband, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"He finally fell asleep," Chloe whispered, kissing the back of Tariq's neck.
Tariq turned around, carefully adjusting his son's blanket before wrapping his free arm around Chloe.
He looked out over his glowing, happy family, and then out at the city he controlled.
He had spent his entire life accumulating wealth, power, and fear.
But looking at the beautiful nurse who had accidentally fallen asleep on his shoulder, he finally understood true riches.
"I love you, Chloe," Tariq murmured, kissing her deeply under the starlit sky.
