The dark shadows of the conspiracy were completely erased.
Kenneth Rollins was sentenced to twenty-five years in a federal maximum-security penitentiary for chemical poisoning, corporate fraud, and grand embezzlement.
Eleanor Vance received thirty years without the possibility of early parole for attempted premeditated murder and RICO conspiracy.
Maya was stripped of all marital assets under a clean, uncontested divorce settlement with Justin, permanently relocating to a small town in Oregon away from the real estate sector.

Justin walked out onto the terrace wearing a dark linen suit, carrying two glasses of fine champagne, stepping up beside me with a warm, proud smile.
We clinked our glasses together softly under the warm sky.

"To new beginnings, Sabrina," Justin toasted warmly, his voice deep and steady.
"To new beginnings, Justin," I smiled back, taking a slow sip of the sweet champagne.
