Chapter 13 - The Last Stand

Julian realized the evidence was gone.
He came to the house.
Not with a bat.
With confidence.
“You really think you won?”
I stood between him and Audrey.
“Yes.”
He laughed.
“You don’t understand.”
Then Miriam walked in.
Everyone expected her to defend him.
She didn’t.
“I’m done.”
Julian looked shocked.
The person who protected him for years finally stepped away.
But Julian’s anger exploded.
“You’re nothing without me.”
That was the moment everyone saw him clearly.
Not a husband.
Not a son.
A man who believed everyone belonged to him.
Then police entered.
The evidence was enough.
But Julian smiled.
