The battle looked over, and the first rays of dawn bathed the city in a soft, golden light. The Mateo mansion stood weathered but unbowed, a testament to the family's resilience. Inside, the atmosphere was a mixture of relief and exhaustion. They had faced the inferno and emerged victorious, but now came the hardest part: moving on.Fabio woke to the gentle sound of birds chirping outside his window. His body ached from the previous night's battle, but his spirit felt lighter than it had in weeks. He turned to see Sophia still asleep beside him, her face peaceful and untroubled. He smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.He slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her, and headed downstairs. The house was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the chaos of the night before. In the kitchen, he found his father, Duncan, sitting at the table with a cup of coffee."Morning, Dad," Fabio greeted, pouring himself a cup and sitting down.Duncan looked up, his eyes tired but calm.

The Mateo mansion was quiet in the early morning hours. Fabio sat on the terrace, nursing a cup of coffee as he gazed out at the sprawling estate.

Sophia noticed his growing distraction and felt a twinge of worry. She decided to confront him about it, wanting to support him as best she could.One evening, as they sat on the terrace after dinner, Sophia took Fabio's hand and looked into his eyes. "You've been distant lately. What's on your mind?"Fabio sighed, knowing he couldn't keep evading her questions. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you, but I haven't found the right moment."Sophia's heart raced. "What is it? You can tell me anything, Fabio."He took a deep breath, his heart pounding. "I've been thinking about proposing to you, Sophia. I love
