I Protected My Drunk Boss From a Dangerous Night — Then She Looked at Me and Said, “I Remember Everything”
Chapter 13
Their daughter eventually married.
Clara’s wedding was small.
Family.
Friends.
No extravagant ceremony.
Victoria cried.
Ethan laughed.
Afterward, Clara asked:
“How did you know you were right for each other?”
Victoria looked at Ethan.
“He stayed when I wasn’t easy.”
Ethan smiled.
“She trusted me when she had every reason not to.”
Clara nodded.
“That’s enough.”
Victoria looked toward her daughter.
“Love isn’t the moment when someone makes you feel special.”
“What is it?”
“The years when they keep showing up.”
Clara smiled.
Ethan reached for Victoria’s hand.
That was their story.
Not one night.
Not one kiss.
Not one dramatic rescue.
Thousands of ordinary choices.
The night she was vulnerable.
The mornings after.
The arguments.
The apologies.
The difficult work.
The family.
The business.
The trust.
Everything after the headline.
