Chapter 2: The Woman They Underestimated
At the hospital, a doctor confirmed what I already knew.
A concussion.
Eight stitches.
Bruising that would take weeks to fade.
But pain had never been what frightened me.
Control had.
And tonight, I had taken mine back.
Natalie sat beside me in the quiet hospital room.
“They’ve done this before,” she said softly.
I turned to her.
“Not like this,” I replied.
“No,” she admitted. “But the pressure… the manipulation… the way they corner people. It’s always been there.”
I stared at the sterile white ceiling.
“They picked the wrong person this time.”
Natalie nodded.
“Yes,” she said. “They did.”
What they didn’t know—
What Diego didn’t know—
Was that I had already started documenting everything months ago.
Every financial discussion.
Every message.
Every threat disguised as “family expectations.”
And now?
They had just handed me the final piece.
Violence.
Undeniable.

Unforgivable.
Unstoppable.
