“Everything,” I said. “You signed away your peace of mind, your money, and your reputation if you’re not careful. You asked for what he left behind. And now, it’s all yours.”

I left her there, stunned and speechless.

Outside, the sun was shining. The air felt lighter. I walked home with purpose, knowing that Oliver and I were safe, and free.

Sometimes, letting go isn’t just an act of survival—it’s the most powerful form of justice.
