Chapter 7: Freedom, Forgiveness, and New Beginnings

← Prev

Soon, Mrs. Walsh posted that she’d divorced Daniel, and he got nothing. Carter told me that Daniel really loved Madison—he gave up everything for her. But she never wanted to marry him. After he lost his money and power, she quickly left and found a new sponsor. But none of those men took her seriously.

It was a harsh ending, but one she brought on herself.

Madison bounced from man to man, never stepping foot in showbiz again. She ended up dancing at a bar, faking smiles for tips, with no one willing to back her anymore.

I saw a photo online—her smile was brittle, her eyes tired. It was sad, really.

If she’d just worked hard, stopped scheming, and not hurt others, she might never have been a star, but she could’ve built a decent career.

She could have been happy, if she’d let herself. But she never did.

Every bad outcome was her own doing.

What goes around comes around.

I closed my laptop, took Carter’s hand, and walked into the sunlight. For the first time in a long while, I felt at peace. The future—my future—was finally mine to write. I was finally free. Time to start my story.
