Rebuilding after betrayal
The house by the lake was legally returned to me. The funds were recovered. My name was cleared with the tax authorities.
But getting back what had been stolen from me didn’t erase the pain. For two years, I had lived in fear of tomorrow while others lived comfortably thanks to what was meant for me.
It took time for this house to truly become mine. For me to stop seeing it as a symbol of a crime and begin to see it as a refuge.
David has changed too. He has become a present, attentive son again, aware that money cannot replace vigilance or closeness.
A year later, I live peacefully by the water. I’ve retired. I no longer have to choose between food and healthcare. I’ve regained my dignity, my security, and a genuine relationship with my son.
Victoria tried to steal my future. She only succeeded in delaying it.
Today, I choose peace.
