New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 510 Epilogue: A New Beginning The sun was setting over the London skyline, casting a golden glow over the city. Claire Peterson stood near the window of her penthouse, a glass of wine in her hand, staring at the breathtaking view. It had been months since the trial, and life had finally settled into a calm rhythm—something she had never truly experienced before.

For the first time in a long time, she wasn't constantly looking over her shoulder.

No more betrayals.

No more enemies lurking in the shadows.

Just peace.

A soft knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. She turned to see Alexander standing there, his expression neutral yet thoughtful.

"Drinking alone?" he asked, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.

Claire smirked. "Wouldn't be the first time. Did my maid let you in again?"

Alexander chuckled and walked over, his eyes flickering toward the skyline before settling on her. "Yeah, you could say that."

They had both changed-more than either of them would ever admit.

They had finally come to terms with something neither of them had wanted to face for years:

They were nothing more than business partners.

The romantic tension, the unresolved feelings, the what-ifs-they had all been put to rest.

Alexander had stopped pursuing her.

Not because he no longer cared.

But because he finally understood.

Even though there was still that tiny sliver in his heart, that small, irrational hope that maybe—just maybe things could be different one day... He knew the truth.

Claire had made her choice.

And he respected it.

"To new beginnings," Alexander said, grabbing a glass from the bar and pouring himself a drink.

Claire raised her own glass, clinking it lightly against his.

"To new beginnings."

A week later, Claire found herself sitting across from Eligos in a quiet, high-end restaurant.

The last time they had spoken, it had been under much darker circumstances- threats, power plays, and misunderstandings clouding their every interaction.

But today was different.

Eligos, the man who had once orchestrated chaos in her life, was now sitting calmly before her, his expression uncharacteristically serious.

"I owe you an apology," he admitted, his fingers lightly tapping the side of his glass. "For the way I treated you. For the things I accused you of. I was... wrong."
