She trusted the promise of closure, the hope that the last chapter of their shared past would bring fairness and respect. But when the d**dline passed and the final payment remained incomplete, that fragile trust shattered.
Instead of reconciliation, she was met with destruction—her belongings smashed and discarded like remnants of a life he no longer valued. In the face of betrayal and broken vows, she found her strength in the cold halls of the courtroom.
