As Grace moved towards the kitchen, Richard remained on the stairs, holding his son. The house, so often just a place to sleep and store his suits, felt different now—more like home.

In that moment, Richard realized that while his business relied on profits and losses, his true wealth was measured in time spent with Oliver, in the shared stories and comforts of family. No boardroom success could ever compare.

He resolved to make changes, to adjust his priorities. Being a father wasn’t just about providing, but about presence. And as Oliver nestled into his side, Richard knew this was a new beginning, one that no amount of money could ever buy.
