And when the financial settlement was completed, I retained the great majority of the disputed savings, including the portion established as mine through the inheritance records.
We also resolved the ownership of the house.

No porque quisiera preservar nuestro matrimonio.
But because I refused to let his betrayal decide where I belonged.
There were conditions to complete, documents to sign, and financial adjustments to make.

Paz.
La casa estaba tranquila.
Pero ya no se sentía vacío.
It felt like mine.
A few weeks after the divorce became final, I found a box of Lucas’s belongings in the back of the bedroom closet.
