Chapter 5: The Life We Choose

Months passed.

The city still buzzed with the story, but I no longer listened.

I had something far more important.

A quiet home.

A peaceful life.

A future.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the skyline, I sat by the window holding Mateo close.

“You’re going to grow up knowing what love really is,” I whispered.

“No fear. No lies.”

Behind me, my father stood silently.

Not as a powerful businessman.

But as a grandfather.

As family.

“I’m proud of you,” he said.

I looked down at my son… then back at the life I had reclaimed.

For so long, I thought I had lost everything.

But the truth was—

I had finally found it.

And this time…

No one would ever take it away.
