A month later, Lily’s trial began.
The internet was abuzz; everyone wanted a
harsh sentence.
Due to multiple charges and the severity of
her crimes, she received fifteen years
imprisonment, with no appeal.
Lily, in the defendant’s chair, looked ten years
older, her hair significantly grayed.
My online popularity soared. Many brands contacted me for collaborations.
I declined them all.
I was tired; I just wanted a normal life.
My family tried to win back my forgiveness.
I didn’t want to return to that painful home, so
I told David I wanted to move.
He agreed, quitting his job to leave with me.
We traveled the country, becoming famous
travel bloggers.
Five years later, we married.
On my wedding day, suffering from severe
depression, Lily jumped from the fourth floor
of the hospital.
She ended her life of crime.
And I, embraced a happy life.
