Chapter 63

• ISABELLA'S POV ~
• My mind raced; my heart thumped against my chest as I stood before the door. It felt surreal, the sight of my name on the plaque - Chief Architectural Designer. A lifetime's journey condensed into one moment.
• I raised my hand, the tips of my fingers lightly brushing against the door's cool surface. With a gentle push, it swung open, a world of possibility on the other side. A rush of chilled air, crisp and clean, washed over me, mingling with the subtle, expensive fragrance that filled the room. My chest swelled with emotion, a giggle tumbling out - half disbelief, half joy. I made it. This was my office, and I was the Chief Architectural Designer.
