Everything Changed in That Moment
Vanessa appeared, confused. “What’s going on?”
I spoke calmly. “I didn’t come to start a fight. I came so our children could meet their sister.”
Christian staggered. “You never told me.”
“You never gave me the chance,” I replied. “You left without looking back.”
He looked at Sophie, who stepped forward and asked, “Are you our dad?”
His voice broke. “I… I think I am.”
Vanessa pulled him aside, whispering furiously. I didn’t listen. I didn’t care.
I found a shady spot under a magnolia tree and watched my kids giggle and play with their baby sister.
It wasn’t vengeance. It was peace.
