Chapter 6 — The Family Trial

The courtroom was packed.

Reporters filled every seat.

Ethan arrived smiling.

Confident.

He believed he had won.

Then the doors opened.

Hannah entered.

Weak.

Pale.

But alive.

The entire courtroom froze.

I stood immediately.

She looked at me.

And for the first time in ninety-three days


She smiled.

Small.

Broken.

But real.

The judge asked if she was ready to testify.

Hannah nodded.

“Yes.”

Her voice was quiet.

But everyone heard.

“My husband never abandoned me.”

The courtroom went silent.

“He left because my life was threatened.”

Ethan’s face changed.

Hannah continued.

“Ethan Callahan wanted me gone because he believed Jack would choose me over the company.”

She looked directly at him.

“And he was right.”
