Chapter 10 - The New BeginningBy February, the city’s newspapers had stopped talking about the dramatic corporate coup at Pierce Global. Instead, a new, heartwarming story captured the public’s imagination: The Billionaire Who Traded His Penthouse for a Nurse’s Heart.
Nathan had restructured Pierce Global into a charitable foundation, stepping down from daily executive duties to focus on pediatric healthcare funding alongside St. Jude’s hospital—where Janelle still worked part-time, entirely on her own terms.

Lydia skipped ahead, chasing a swirling patch of autumn leaves, while Nathan held Janelle’s hand, their fingers tightly intertwined.
“You know,” Janelle teased, looking up at him with a bright smile, “the whole city is still asking why a billionaire chose a tiny apartment over a luxury penthouse.”
Nathan stopped, pulling her close against his chest as the sunlight filtered down through the bare winter branches. He looked down into her eyes, feeling a warmth he knew would never fade.

“Let them wonder,” Nathan smiled, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. “They’re looking for a fairy tale in all the wrong places. I found my real treasure in the snow.”
