We named it the Little Bird Center.
Free care for children.
Trauma counseling.
Legal assistance.
Scholarships.
The foundation funded everything.
Lucas handled finance.
Adrian handled operations.
I treated patients.
Our daughter, Elena, played in the garden.
She was six.
She had my eyes.
Adrian's stubbornness.
And no idea how dangerous our family's past had been.
One evening, she asked:
“Mommy, why does everyone know Dad?”
I laughed.
“Because he used to be important.”
“Is he still?”
Adrian answered from behind us.
“No.”
Elena looked at him.
“Then what are you?”
He smiled.
“Your dad.”
She hugged him.
I smiled.
That was the entire point.
Not empire.
Not money.
Father.
Mother.
Child.

Family.
We had broken the cycle.
