Chapter 3: The Family That Chose Greed
Vivian still believed Amanda was bluffing.
Until federal investigators knocked on her door.
Someone had reported years of tax fraud.
Forgery.
Hidden accounts.
Everything traced back through company audits Amanda's legal team had quietly initiated.
Brooke panicked.
Richard stopped answering her calls.
The luxury apartment he promised her?
Repossessed.
The expensive car?
Seized.
The credit cards?
Frozen.
Three days later...
Brooke packed Chloe's clothes.
"I'm leaving."
Richard grabbed her wrist.
"You said you loved me."
She laughed bitterly.
"I loved your money."
She walked away without looking back.
For the first time...
Richard stood completely alone.
Meanwhile...
Amanda and Ethan spent the afternoon feeding ducks in the park.
Ethan laughed for the first time in weeks.
"Mommy..."
"Can dinosaurs swim?"
Amanda laughed through tears.
"I think some probably tried."
Watching her son smile again...

Healing was.
