Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace** - by Rohan Verma The lawyer reclined in his chair, a warm smile spreading across his face as he met Autumn's gaze. "Ms. Lopez, I assure you, everything is in impeccable order.

The transfer of assets to your name can proceed without any delays." In that fleeting moment, a wave of genuine happiness washed over Autumn, her smile brightening the room as if it could illuminate the very walls. "I can't express how grateful I am for all the effort you've dedicated to this," she responded, her voice brimming with appreciation, her heart swelling with a sense of relief that felt almost overwhelming. "Not at all," the lawyer replied, his humility evident in his tone.

"It's my absolute privilege to assist you in this matter." Autumn tightened her grip on her phone, a flurry of emotions swirling within her-relief mingled with excitement. It was Owen who had introduced her to this capable lawyer, and while she had faith in his efficiency, she never anticipated that the process would unfold so seamlessly, leaving her with little to do but revel in the moment. "I'll ensure that Mr. Bennett knows to reward you all with a generous bonus," she promised, envisioning the delighted expressions that would dance across the lawyer's face at the prospect of extra funds.

For any employee, a bonus was undoubtedly the sweetest form of recognition, a tangible acknowledgment of their hard work and dedication. As she had hoped, the lawyer's demeanor brightened at her words. "Thank you, Ms. Lopez." After exchanging a few more friendly remarks, Autumn ended the call, her heart still racing with elation. Her eyes drifted to the asset transfer documents the lawyer had sent over, and her smile widened even further. Just as she had predicted, her father had opted to sell his assets in order to generate the necessary funds.

A hasty sale meant he wouldn't fetch a high price; all the properties were sold for ten to twenty percent below the market value. Autumn had foreseen this outcome, so she had proactively alerted her lawyer to seek potential buyers for the assets. The real estate under the name of Oliver Lopez had taken a convoluted path, but ultimately, it all circled back to Autumn. As she observed her portfolio swelling with value, the joy in her eyes was nearly overflowing.

In the past, she had yearned desperately for her father's affection, but after everything that had transpired, she had come to a profound realization: true success cannot be achieved by depending on others. Self-reliance is the only pathway to victory. Fortunately, she had grasped this lesson early on. The rapidly increasing digits in her bank account served as a constant reminder that she had chosen the right direction for her life. Autumn didn't linger at her new company for too long. The individuals Julian had introduced her to were remarkably dependable.

They even came equipped with their own teams, and at times, Autumn, the boss, found it challenging to keep pace with them. Fortunately, after receiving some guidance from Owen, Autumn had made it a point to steer the company's trajectory. Consequently, the projects her new team was tackling were all in areas she was intimately familiar with. It didn't take long for her to catch up with their progress. She was even able to provide some pertinent advice. This newfound confidence quickly dispelled any initial doubts the staff had harbored about her capabilities.

With a vibrant atmosphere and exceptional benefits, it was no wonder that productivity was soaring. As Autumn exited the office, her spirits were high, a lively bounce in her step. However, upon entering her home and spotting Owen seated in the living room, her smile faltered momentarily. She quickly plastered on an even larger grin and approached him. "Did you just wake up, or have you just returned?" Owen shot her a knowing look. "Did you enjoy yourself?" Autumn hesitated, her body poised to sit down. "Very much," she replied, her heart racing slightly.

She hadn't concealed any of her plans from Owen, so it came as no surprise that he was aware of her activities that day. "Good," he nodded, his tone casual, as if he were commenting on the weather rather than her day. His nonchalance made Autumn feel a twinge of embarrassment. "Well, none of this would have gone as smoothly without your support," she admitted, her voice softer now, laden with sincerity. Owen placed the file he had been holding onto the table.

He moved with the effortless grace of someone accustomed to privilege, yet Autumn could sense a flicker of irritation beneath his calm exterior. He's upset again, she realized, reflecting on her previous words. She had a gut feeling that he perceived her as being too distant in that moment. He hated that. Owen had repeatedly reassured her that they were husband and wife, that she didn't need to tread so carefully around him. But occasionally, she still found herself forgetting. "Ahem," Autumn cleared her throat, attempting to recover the moment.

"Is there anything you'd like to do tonight, or anywhere you want to go?" This piqued his interest. Owen studied her for a long moment, then, as if conceding, he asked, "Why?" "I have some free time now, so I thought maybe we could... spend some quality time together?" "And I assumed you'd want more time with the baby too, right?" They often said that babies could sense emotions at this stage. Both of them had been so caught up in their busy lives lately that Autumn worried Owen might think she wasn't taking the pregnancy seriously.

Now that she didn't have to deal with Cloudbreak and the Lopez Group situation was resolved, she could finally devote her attention to her pregnancy. "You decide," she offered, hoping to ease any tension. Owen shrugged, his demeanor relaxed. "I'm fine with whatever." Autumn bit her lip, feeling uncertain. She wasn't exactly an expert at having fun. Her life had revolved around helping Mars build his business, constantly navigating the complexities of high society. She truly had no clue about leisure activities.

But since Owen had already acquiesced, she couldn't very well admit her lack of knowledge. After all, it was her idea. It would be rather embarrassing to pass the responsibility back to him. "Okay, I'll look up some great places to eat and fun activities we can do together," she decided, determination filling her voice. Owen regarded her with a deep, thoughtful look, nodding slowly. "Alright." His gaze sent a warmth flooding to her cheeks. "I'm, uh, going to go change," she stammered, feeling flustered.

She hurried to her feet, but just as she was about to ascend the stairs, Owen unexpectedly spoke up. "Did you run into an old classmate today?" The mention of Hannah caused Autumn to pause, her expression cooling. "Yeah," she replied, her mind racing back to their conversation. That reminded her of the delicate situation regarding her divorce. "She knows about me and Mars. I'm not sure if she'll spill the beans about me living here." Autumn frowned, contemplating the implications. "The cooling-off period is nearly over, so it doesn't really matter if Mars finds out.

But if he learns too soon, it could derail my plans." Owen nodded, his expression serious. "I'll take care of it." Autumn looked at him, taken aback. "You? Do you know her?" Hannah had been abroad for a while; she likely didn't have many connections left in the country. Owen seemed amused by her question, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Someone always knows someone," he replied, his tone light yet confident. Autumn froze for a moment, realization dawning on her-this was Owen Bennett. No matter what influence Hannah's family wielded, they were no match for him.

"Okay," she said, feeling reassured. "But we don't need to... silence her permanently," Autumn emphasized, her voice firm. "Just prevent her from causing any trouble for now," Owen replied, his agreement smooth and steady. "As you wish." Autumn felt a flutter of warmth at the magnetic quality of his voice. Is it just my imagination, or does he always seem so indulgent towards me? But no matter how she contemplated it, their relationship wasn't at that stage yet. And this was Owen Bennett; would he really dote on someone he barely knew? Wasn't that a bit strange?

With that thought, Autumn's emotions settled back into a comfortable rhythm. Recalling that he preferred when she didn't act overly formal, she decided to skip the customary thank you this time. Instead, she offered, "If there's anything you need, you can let me know as well." "I'll do my best to assist," he replied, his tone earnest. Autumn knew full well that anything she could do, Owen could undoubtedly manage on his own. Her offer felt somewhat hollow, but she needed to demonstrate her willingness to contribute; otherwise, she'd feel too embarrassed to even face him.

"Actually, there is one thing I need your help with." As Autumn stood in the doorway, a sense of clarity washed over her, illuminating the path she had carved for herself. The journey from her father's shadow to her own light had been fraught with challenges, but every step had led her to this moment of self-empowerment. With her assets secured and her professional life flourishing, she felt a newfound sense of independence that filled her with pride.
