Chapter 15: The Legacy of Love
Ten years later. Leo was a bright, strong eighteen-year-old, excelling in school, kind-hearted, and fiercely protective of his younger sister, Maya, whom Ryan and Sarah had adopted five years prior.
Ryan stood by the kitchen window, watching his two children laugh and play basketball in the driveway. Sarah walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her chin on his back.
The cycle of abuse was successfully, permanently broken. They hadn't just survived the darkness; they had forged a legacy of love, resilience, and unshakeable strength. Ryan smiled, placing his hand over Sarah's. The demons of the past were dead, replaced by the beautiful, noisy, chaotic reality of a family that chose to protect each other, every single day.
