One week later, the grand mansion was filled with warm yellow sunlight today.
Elena stood on the upper balcony wearing a beautiful soft blue silk dress.
She looked down at the wide white marble floor where she had fallen.
It no longer looked cold or terrifying to her eyes like before.
It was now the place where her long-lost brother had saved her life.
Arthur walked up the grand staircase holding two hot cups of morning tea.
He handed one cup to his sister and stood right beside her railing.
Arthur: You never have to scrub another floor for anyone again, Elena.
Elena: It still feels like a dream I might wake up from.
Arthur: This home is yours just as much as it is mine now.
The police had arrested Martha and Richard early that very same morning.
The courts returned all the stolen trust fund money directly back to Elena.
She was now a wealthy young woman with a bright and happy future.
More importantly, she had a real family who truly loved and cared for her.
Thomas walked up to the balcony with a warm smile on his face.
Thomas: Lunch is served in the main dining room, Miss Vance.
Elena smiled softly at hearing her real family name spoken so proudly now.
She took a deep breath of the fresh morning air inside the quiet home.
The dark days of hunger, fear, and endless work were completely gone forever.
Arthur placed his arm around her shoulders as they turned toward the hall.
They walked down the wide marble stairs together side by side as family.
The massive crystal chandelier brightened the room with a beautiful golden shine.
They had found each other again, and nothing would ever tear them apart.
