Chapter 52 - The Quiet Winter
The destruction of Silas Thorne sent a profound, terrifying message to the rest of the corporate world: Olivia and Ethan were entirely untouchable.
Months passed, and a deep, peaceful winter settled over the estate. Thick, pristine white snow blanketed the sprawling lawns, turning the property into a quiet, frozen paradise.
Olivia sat by the roaring stone fireplace in the living room, wrapped in a thick wool blanket, watching the snow fall furiously outside the massive windows.
Ethan walked into the room holding two mugs of hot tea. He handed one to her and sat down on the plush rug, leaning his back against her legs.
"It is incredibly quiet,"
Ethan noted, staring into the flames.
"It's a good quiet,"

Olivia smiled, gently running her fingers through his dark hair.
"It is the sound of absolute victory."
