Detective Lisa Morgan and the investigators uncovered the shocking truth. Christine had manipulated her own daughter, turned her against Emma, and coerced her husband Robert to rig the car. The plan was cruel, calculated, and terrifyingly close to success.
The legal fallout was swift. Christine got twenty-five years. Robert cooperated and received probation. Olivia, the innocent child caught in the middle, was placed in foster care—safe at last.
A year later, Emma’s laughter returned. David and I rebuilt, slowly but steadily. And one week ago, a letter arrived from Olivia: apologies, hope, a glimpse of innocence restored.
Now, in the park, watching Emma run across the grass under a double rainbow, I squeeze David’s hand.
“We survived,” he whispers.
“We did,” I reply. And for the first time in months, the world feels safe again.
