Chapter 6 - The Truth She Never Expected
Gary Bennett was found.
Alive.
But broken.
He confessed everything.
The gambling.
The lies.
The attempt to sacrifice Lydia's future.
"I'm sorry."
Those were the words Lydia had waited years to hear.
But when they finally came…
they weren't enough.
"I forgive you," she said.
Her father looked surprised.
"But I won't carry you anymore."
That was the moment Lydia finally stopped being the woman who saved everyone.
She chose herself.
Roman watched from a distance.
And he realized something terrifying.
He had fallen in love.
Not with the woman everyone saw.
Not with the beautiful woman she could have been.
