My heart shattered anew as I processed the betrayal. The police found records and evidence linking Sarah to the crime. When she found out I was planning to visit, she panicked and decided to keep my son, hoping I wouldn’t recognize him.
I hugged my son tightly, tears streaming down my face. “I thought I lost you forever,” I whispered.
Sarah was arrested and faced numerous charges. The media buzzed with the scandal, and I felt a whirlwind of emotions: relief that my son was safe, anger at the betrayal, and deep sadness for the years lost.
In the aftermath, my son and I began rebuilding our lives. It was a long and painful journey, but we had each other. The ordeal brought us closer, and I vowed never to let him out of my sight again.
Sarah’s betrayal taught me a harsh lesson about trust and the lengths people will go for their gain. But it also showed me the resilience of love and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. We had a second chance at life together, and I wasn’t going to waste it.
