Between police interviews, court appearances, and endless media attention, neither Raymond nor Lena had much time to themselves.
Before they knew it, the day of the final judgment arrived.

Justice for every lie she had been forced to live.
Justice for the years that had been stolen from her.
Over the past few days, she had also heard about Ashley's death and Evans' death.
For a brief moment, memories of the past flashed through her mind.
