#Chapter93
6 years later
If you've asked me 6 years ago where I'll be right now, I would've said still taking care of Dad and paying off his debts.
It's weird how life turns around.
It took two years just for Caspian's case to be over. He's going to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell.
During those two years, I was in a protective witness program with a new identity, Emily Adams. I had no contact with anyone I knew. It was like my previous life didn't exist at all. Like Casey Smith never existed.
After the case finally ended, I was free. I kept my end of the deal with Mrs. Pierce. I got out of Kaden's life and never looked back. It was for the better.
The cold water rushes over my feet, waking me up from my reverie.
I love the ocean. The sound of the waves. The nice breeze. The feeling of sand between my toes. It's refreshing.
I moved to a small town near the Bay Area and have been living here for the past 4 years.
