I laughed.
“Give the money back. Don’t waste your
energy.”
I hung up.
On the day of the hearing, I brought all the
evidence.
<
nusband.”
“I had no idea about this. This property
should not exist in his world.”
“This is not a fair world, give him the peace
and free from this situation”
My voice broke, tears blurring my vision.
“I am begging all of you for peace.”
Mark didn’t say a word.
Sarah ranted and raved, but she was
overruled.
The judge said, “Mia Moore and Mark
Henderson’s divorce is finalized. Sarah Moore
must return all illegal earnings. Assets will be
く
frozen and auctioned.”
Sarah collapsed.
It didn’t bring Mikey back, but it was
something.
- 13.
I received a large settlement.
I paid my friend Jane and all the people
around her. She thanked me a lot for what I
did for them.
I went to my family to take care of them from
now on.
I opened the door to the sight of my mom and
dad.

Mom and Dad were thin. They looked like
they would break if the wind blew.
The lunch table had some food and juice.
“Mom, Dad…”
I couldn’t hold back the tears.
My mom looked up and said, “We know that
you are here so please let us know when you
are getting home”
I fought back the tears, putting my bags
down.
“I’m here what you want to do in your life?”
Dad sighed.

“We are still here”
I couldn’t tell them about Mikey or the
divorce.
I tried to stop crying, put the groceries on the
table.
“I was too poor, can you please help me?
Please”
I took them to the hospital.
They had chronic illnesses.
I blamed myself.
If I had been there, I would have never left my
house.

I made sure that I was there for my family.
Every day, I told them how much I loved them,
and I tried to have fun around them.
They asked me about Mikey, and I said Mark
was taking care of him.
I couldn’t tell them the truth.
The truth came out.
I was in the kitchen when Mom came to me
with the court papers.
“We know everything. We were cleaning your
stuff and found this.”
“We are the worst for you, there is nothing
left to do”
L
Mom’s voice shook, her eyes were red.
I broke down and cried.
I told them everything.
Mom and Dad hugged me.
A few days later, we buried Mikey in the
cemetery.
Time passed. My parents started to get
better.
I was healing.
I heard that Mark ran Sarah out of the
company and had frozen everything.
Sarah was so mad. She went online and said
how horrible Mark was.
She acted like Mark had used her, and they
started calling Mark names.
Mark’s company lost money.
It went bankrupt.
Mark and Sarah were broke. They jumped
from a building and died.
I felt nothing.
It was their fault.
It was Spring. The rain was falling.
I felt nothing.
It was their fault.
It was Spring. The rain was falling.
We went to Mikey’s grave.
The grass was green.
I saw Mikey smiling at me.
Tears filled my eyes.
“Take care of yourself, Mikey…”
“I will never ever stop loving you in my life.”
