On the morning of his wedding, Ethan Caldwell stood in front of the mirror and saw a man who had finally outrun his past.
Every mistake had been rewritten as “growth.”
Every humiliation reframed as “necessary.”
Every person he left behind filed neatly into a story that made him the winner.
He adjusted his cufflinks slowly, taking in the reflection of a man who now belonged in places that once felt out of reach.
The private suite overlooked the manicured lawns of Ashbourne Country Estate.
