She thought surviving was the hardest part.
She was wrong.
The money came.
The silence broke.
And the truth — long buried — began to surface.
In Volume 2, choices stop waiting politely.
A mother who refuses to loosen her grip.
A fiancé who wants answers she's no longer sure she owes.
A past that refuses to stay hidden behind paperwork and signatures.
Independence doesn't arrive like freedom.
It arrives like confrontation.
Every step forward costs something.
Every boundary drawn creates an enemy.
And every truth spoken changes the shape of love.
This time, she won't be protected by silence.
She'll have to decide —
Who gets to stay.
Who must be left behind.
And whether love can survive when fear no longer does.
Volume 2 begins where survival ends.
