Chapter 10 - The Ice King No MoreThat evening, the sun set over the city, painting the sky in brilliant shades of gold, pink, and violet.
In the penthouse of the Steel mansion, the table was set for a magnificent family dinner. Mrs. Gable bustled around the kitchen, humming carols with tears of happiness in her eyes. Clara sat at the head of the dining table, looking healthier, stronger, and more radiant than she had in years.
And at the center of it all sat Robert Steel—no longer the lonely billionaire, no longer the Ice King of Wall Street, but a father surrounded by the family he had almost lost before he even knew they existed.
Ethan placed a small, polished wooden object right beside Robert’s water glass.
It was the wooden angel.
Robert picked it up, running his thumb over its chipped wing, smiling warmly.
“Dad,” Evan asked, looking up from his plate with a grin. “Can we go sledding in the courtyard tomorrow?”
Robert looked at his son, then at Emma and Ethan, and finally at Clara, whose eyes shone with enduring love.
“We can build an entire city of snowmen if you want,” Robert answered, raising his glass in a toast. “Because from now on... nobody in this house is ever going to be cold again.”
