Mark turned toward Hannah and wrapped her in his arms.
She buried her face into his leather jacket again.
The terrifying nightmare had finally come to an end.
Hannah: Is it really over now?
Mark: Yes, my love, she can never hurt you again.
Hannah: The family necklace is broken completely.
Mark: We can gather every pearl and string them again.
Mark knelt down on the cold marble floor slowly.
He began picking up the scattered white pearls one by one.
Hannah knelt down beside him to help collect them.
Together they picked up every single lost piece.
Mark: These pearls represent our strength through hard times.
Hannah: We survive because we stand together.
Mark: The estate will be sold next week, Hannah.
Hannah: Are you sure you want to sell this mansion?
Mark: This house holds too many bad memories of greed.
Hannah: Where will we go after the wedding?
Mark: We will buy a cozy home near the blue ocean.
Hannah smiled warm for the first time that morning.
Hannah: That sounds like a dream come true.
Mark: The money will go to a charity for foster children.
Hannah: Your mother would be so proud of your heart.
Mark took her small hand and squeezed it gently.
The bright sunlight streamed through the tall atrium glass.
The dark shadows of the past were completely gone.
Mark: Let's go get married right now, Hannah.
Hannah: Yes, let's start our new life today.
