The Only Real Victory
Lena didn’t celebrate.
She expanded her company. Funded scholarships. Supported women who ran with nothing but courage.
Years later, watching her daughter laugh beneath cherry blossoms, she felt something rare.
Peace.
Not because Ethan lost everything.
But because she finally lived without him.
Power built on control never lasts.
True strength is rebuilding so completely that the person who broke you no longer matters.
