Claire's POV
I stood frozen, my eyes glued to the TV screen as the shocking revelations unfolded. Evander had promised me two days—that he would find and punish those who dared to harm me. But I never imagined it would involve Mia and Brian. Was this all part of his plan, or just a coincidence that their crimes were connected to Diana?
I didn't know for sure, but one thing was clear: the heaviness I had carried for so long and the weight of injustice that had suffocated me was finally lifting.
My chest tightened as the faces of Mia and Diana's face flashed on the screen, their once-smug expressions replaced by fear and panic. It felt surreal. The same people who had tormented me and made me question my worth were now being dragged into the light for everyone to see.
For the first time in years, I felt alive. A small, cautious sense of relief began to settle in.
