Chapter 10 – Hidden No More
Months later...
Claire visited her mother's grave.
She placed fresh white lilies beside the headstone.
"I'm sorry."
A gentle breeze moved through the trees.
Her father stood quietly behind her.
"You didn't break your promise."
Claire looked at him.
"I told them."
He smiled.
"No."
"You only stopped protecting someone who didn't deserve the gift."
Claire looked toward the horizon.
For years...
she believed hiding her name protected her future.
Now she understood something far more important.
A name can open doors.
Money can buy comfort.
Power can command attention.
But none of them can make someone love you honestly.
Only character can do that.
And character is revealed...
May you like
when people think you have nothing to offer.
The End.
