Chapter 13 - THE WOMAN WHO REFUSED TO DISAPPEAR

After the divorce, I moved into a smaller house near Washington Park.

It had a garden.

A bright kitchen.

And a room I turned into an office.

I started a consulting business focused on helping small companies improve financial controls.

It wasn't glamorous.

But it was mine.

I worked hard.

Made mistakes.

Learned.

For the first time in years, I didn't have to explain every decision to someone who thought he knew better.

One evening, I received a message from Lucas.

I never thought you'd actually leave.

I stared at it.

Then replied.

That was your mistake.

I blocked his number.

And went back to work.
