Chapter 39
The Baptism
The grand hall of the mansion, once the site of psychological torture and fear, was transformed into a place of radiant light and joy. The massive crystal chandeliers sparkled, illuminating dozens of beautiful floral arrangements.
It was the day of Mateo's baptism.
Surrounded by trusted friends, loyal staff, and the finest families in the city who respected the new regime, Alejandro and Elena stood before the priest.
Rosa, wearing a beautiful silk dress, stood proudly beside them as Mateo's official godmother. Maria stood next to her, smiling brightly.

As the priest poured the holy water over the sleeping baby's head, Alejandro looked around the room. The dark legacy of Beatriz and Daniel had been completely scrubbed from these walls. He had established a massive charitable foundation in his grandfather's name, dedicated to helping orphaned and abandoned children.
When the ceremony concluded, the room erupted into applause. Alejandro pulled Elena close, kissing her deeply, ignoring the flashes of the photographers' cameras. They were no longer hiding in the shadows. They were the undisputed king and queen of the estate, standing firmly in the light.
