Chapter 8: The Woman Who Came Back
Hours later, the church stood empty.
Silent again.
But different.
Not grief.
Aftermath.
The maid sat alone, hands trembling.
Blood on her palms.
Tears dried.
But Evelyn lived.
Because someone listened.
Because someone believed.
Because someone refused to walk away.
Outside, the sirens faded.
Inside, one truth remained—
Some people bury secrets.
Others dig them up.
And sometimes—
the dead come back to speak.
