Victims.
Widows.
Children.
People who had lost loved ones to organizations like the one that had nearly destroyed us.
David worked beside me.
Alessandro funded expansion.
Sofia ran the legal division.
Our family grew.
The foundation became national.
My mother's research was used for ethical cybersecurity.
The biological encryption technology was destroyed as a weapon but studied as a medical breakthrough.
The past finally produced something good.
One evening, David handed me a file.
“What is this?”
“Your mother's journal.”
I froze.
“She wrote about you.”
I opened it.
My daughter will someday believe she was abandoned.
She wasn't.
I loved her enough to disappear.
I cried.
David held me.
“She loved you.”
“I know.”
“She wanted you free.”
“She got her wish.”
I smiled.
“And you?”
“I got mine.”
“What?”
May you like
“You.”
I kissed him.
