I felt vindicated but deeply saddened by the selfish motives behind her return. The updates confirmed what I had feared: she was using our family as a lifeline.
“I knew it,” I muttered, eyes heavy with despair. Although the truth provided clarity, it also reopened old wounds.
I had hoped, somewhere deep down, for a genuine reconciliation. Instead, I was confronted with the reality of her self-serving intentions.
