Chapter 10 - The Rebirth

A profound sense of justice finally washed over my exhausted, broken body.
Six months later, the dark clouds of betrayal had completely lifted from my life.

Daniel sat on my velvet couch, reviewing the final, perfectly executed legal documents.
Elena was in the kitchen, happily preparing lunch as my newly hired, highly paid private estate manager.
