Chapter 14: The Final Reckoning
Victoria’s final reckoning came in the courtroom during sentencing.
She stood in her prison uniform, no pearls, no tailored suit, and listened as the judge read the sentence.
“Life without parole.”
Victoria’s eyes met Elena’s across the room.
For the first time, there was no mask. Only regret.
“I thought I was protecting the family,” she said.
Elena stood up.
“You destroyed it,” she replied. “And I will never forgive you.”
Victoria was led away.
No dramatic goodbye.
No tears.
Just the final click of the handcuffs and the closing of a door.
The final reckoning was not satisfying.

It was necessary.
And it was done.
