Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 57

Sarah stood at the edge of the ballroom, the soft murmur of conversation and the tinkling of glasses fading into the background.

She gazed out over the gathered guests, her expression serene, though her thoughts flitted like autumn leaves.

Arnold’s presence, once a weight on her heart, no longer held the power it used to. She had already begun to let go.

Leo, standing beside her, observed her with quiet admiration.

Sarah appeared gentle and soft, but beneath that exterior lay a thoughtful, resilient spirit.

Her ability to mask her emotions so gracefully was something he respected deeply.

Sensing the moment, he raised his glass to her.

“To new beginnings,” he said warmly, his deep voice carrying a note of encouragement.

Sarah turned to him, a genuine smile tugging at her lips. She lifted her own glass, the sparkling water catching the light like diamonds.

“To new beginnings,” she echoed softly, clinking her glass against his.

As they sipped their drinks, a distinguished middle–aged man approached them.

His presence commanded respect without needing to announce itself. His tailored navy suit spoke of timeless sophistication, and his hair, combed back neatly, gleamed under the chandelier lights.

Leo straightened, his face lighting up with recognition. “Mr. Colton! What an honor to see you here.”

“Leo,” the man was elegant, his voice filled with a sense of coldness and majesty. “When you said you wanted to surprise me, did you want to introduce me to this lady next to you?”

Leo gestured toward Sarah, his tone full of pride as he introduced her. “This is Sarah, a true artist and a genius in jewelry design.”
