The judge didn’t hesitate.
Her voice cut through the courtroom with finality.
“Full custody is awarded to Sarah Sterling.”
Emma’s grip tightened around me.
“All financial assets are under investigation and immediate seizure.”
Richard’s empire collapsed in real time.
“And this case is being referred for federal prosecution.”
That was the end of him.
Not just legally—but socially, financially, permanently.
The man who controlled everything… now controlled nothing.
The gavel struck.
And just like that, the nightmare ended.
