Chapter 11 - The Wedding
They were married three months later.
It was a small ceremony, just family and close friends.
Clara wore a white dress and held her son in her arms.
Ethan stood beside her, his eyes filled with tears of joy.
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," she said.
"Forever?"
"Forever."

The years passed.
Victor grew up healthy and happy.
Ethan and Clara built a life together.
They never forgot what happened, but they didn't let it define them.
They moved forward, together, leaving the past behind.

But then, on Victor's fifth birthday, Clara received an anonymous letter.
It was addressed to her, with no return address.
She opened it, and inside was a single photograph.
A photograph of Veronica, standing outside the prison gates.
She had been released.
Clara's heart stopped.
She turned the photograph over, and on the back was a message:
"I'm coming for you."
