Chapter 15 - The Healing Garden
Six months later.
Warm morning sunlight streamed into the bright, newly renovated living room. The dark memories, hidden cameras, and steel shutters had been completely removed, replaced by large open glass windows, potted green plants, and cheerful family photographs.
Vanessa was sentenced to twelve years in federal prison for conspiracy, child endangerment, and corporate espionage. Arthur Vance received a life sentence in maximum security with zero chance of parole.
In the backyard garden, colorful spring flowers bloomed under the clear blue sky.
Daniel sat on a wooden patio bench, sipping coffee as he watched little Emma running across the soft green grass, her laughter filling the warm morning air.
Emma stopped, picked a bright yellow dandelion, and ran over to Daniel, holding her stuffed rabbit tightly under her arm.
"Look, Daddy!" Emma cheered, handing him the flower with a brilliant, joyful smile completely free of fear. "For you!"
Daniel took the flower, pulling his brave little girl into a warm, tight hug, kissing her forehead as she giggled happily.
