Chapter 14 - On the Anniversary of Alessandra’s Death, We Finally Found the Man Who Delivered the Final Blow—And I Chose My Sister’s Justice Over RevengeMy uncle was arrested overseas.
He was old.
Sick.
He admitted everything.
He had followed Alessandra.
She refused to give him the ledger.
He attacked her.
She escaped.
She hid.
She made the tape.
Then he found her.
He thought he had killed her.
He didn't.
She lived long enough to send the tape to Elena.
Then she died.
The truth was finally complete.
For years, I had imagined revenge.
What I felt instead was empty.
Because revenge couldn't bring her back.
Justice could bring her story back.
That mattered.
Sophie sat beside me during the trial.
The man who killed Alessandra stood before the court.
I testified.
I didn't shout.
I didn't threaten him.
I simply told the truth.
When the verdict came, he was sentenced.
Sophie squeezed my hand.
“It's over.”
I nodded.
“Yes.”
