Two years later....

Theodora's POV....

After sifting through her past to mend old wounds, Theo sat waiting in a lavish penthouse peering out over the rising sun of New York. Embracing growth through the year, keeping a strong grasp on the dreams that she invested in. Her demons were kept firmly at bay as she stabilized two different worlds that beckoned to a wave of her hand. With complete control she fixes her eyes at the man she was in complete awe of. The lopsided grin of her Orion sidles happily next to Onyx.

The door swings open gracing the room with sophistication and feminine dominance. Her eyes compose her thrumming anxiety as Scarlett and Everly took their seats. Theo stood with a soft smile looking over the people of her life before she opens the door once more. She was greeted by Orianna's beautiful aura followed by a lovely Amara hauling the adorable fiery lad.

"Teddy!" Rory squeals with the beaming emerald eyes.

Theo guffaws sweeping the boy into her arms. Her smile grew from the awfully sweet boy whom began selflessly raining kisses on every part of her face.

"More, more, more," he squeals squeezing her tighter as she returns her affectionate attack covering his face with lip marks.

Rory whoops in laughter lacing his arm around her neck, "I missed you," he murmurs sweetly.

Theo smiles embracing his little body, "not nearly as much as I missed you my little handsome thief," she chuckles rubbing her nose and that little button nose.

Rory giggles holding her face, "Teddy?" he saddens, "are you... are you leaving again?"

Theodora's eyes sparkle with affection before she cups his ear with her hand, "since you're my favorite person in the world, I'm thinking about never leaving," she whispers. Rory's eyes grew with excitement. "But lets keep it a secret for now, promise you won't tell?" she asks.

The little boy leans back slightly before his hand lifts to display his pinky, "I promise Teddy," he whispers. Theo latches onto his pinky. "Kisses to seal the promise," Rory squeals excitedly as Theo smashes her lips against his cheek leaving a smidge of crimson stains.

Coughs interrupts their moment but Theo didn't mind as she whips a smirk at her company. She slowly lowers the little boy to the ground but Rory had other plans as he wrapped his legs around hers, adamant about being in her arms. Theo kisses the boy once more before settling him on her hip. She turns to the waiting crowd, striding towards the table. She sat down propping the boy on her lap.

Letty smiles softly, "so this is the little spitfire that has your heart?" she chuckles warmly.

Teddy glances at the little one on her lap and nods, "thank you all for responding to my call. I'm forever grateful to have all my family here in one room," she gushes causing their smile. "Many of you have been wondering where I've been for the past year and thankfully I have completed my mission to tie up the loose ends of this seeping chaos that I've collected over the years. Recently, I've had an awakening that created something of an illusion that seemed impossible for the woman I once was. I've been really looking at myself and everything I seen, was viscerally revolting," she whispers in disbelief. She meets everyone's gazes, "the time has come to close this chapter in my life that I've held and with no hesitations, the beautiful chaotic Dynasty of Belladonna must fall. I've been piecing smaller acquaintances that I had a hold of and created a new brand to specifically keep my black market off the radar and solely into another competent hands," she smiles softly meeting the brother.

"Onyx," Theo quivers happily, "we've been through the high seas and tribulations. Prevailed through the impossible and forever grateful for your brotherly figure. You had to deal with more than anyone could've imagined. Orion, you've dealt with the blustering temper of the Kraken one too many times than I can count. Without the both of you, I would be the ill stricken girl holding onto the mishaps of my past," she snickers. Her eyes gleam, "that is why Onyx and Orion are my partners that will carry Arcane Shipping Industries to new heights. You both will carry forth the reputable sources and manufacturing," Theo gushes catching Onyx's approval.
