Chapter 3: Echoes of the Past
As Sarah lay recovering, her mind drifted to the early days of her marriage. David had been the light of her life, a man who built hospitals and schools, completely unlike his cold, calculating mother. Eleanor had always viewed Sarah as an outsider, a threat to the family’s legacy. But David had seen Sarah’s strength. He knew his mother’s addictions were spiraling and had structured his will to protect his life’s work. The physical bruises on Sarah’s face would heal, but the betrayal cut deeper. She realized that Eleanor wasn't just a monster; she was a deeply broken woman who had let greed consume her maternal love.
