Camila opened the letter, her voice unsteady as she read.
The words filled the room, heavy and undeniable.
The house had never been hers.
It had always been mine.
She had only been allowed to stay as long as she kept her promise—to take care of me, to make sure I never felt alone.
A promise she hadn’t kept.
The silence afterward was absolute.
“I have been mistreated,” I said quietly.
It didn’t feel dramatic. It felt like truth finally being spoken out loud.
The attorney confirmed everything. Papers were placed on the table. Instructions were clear. Camila and her daughters would have to leave.
And just like that, the balance shifted.
For the first time, they had nothing to say.
