The rain had started by the time Vivian arrived home.
She parked her car inside the garage and sat behind the steering wheel for a few moments.
The past two days had drained every ounce of strength she had.
She closed her eyes.
Her name had been cleared.
The truth had won.
Yet...
There was no joy in her heart.
Some victories came too late.
Taking a slow breath, she stepped out of the car and entered the house.
The lights in the living room were already on.
Adrian was waiting.
He rose the moment he saw her.
“I heard the investigation is over.”
Vivian nodded once as she removed her coat.
“It is.”
“I’m glad.”
She gave a faint smile.
“So am I.”
Another silence settled between them.
It felt heavier than ever.
Adrian looked at her carefully.
“I owe you an apology.”
Vivian paused.
An apology.
For years she had wished to hear those words.
Now...
They no longer meant what they once would have.
“I’m sorry,” Adrian continued quietly.
“I should have trusted you.”
“I should have spoken.”
“I failed you.”
Vivian looked at him for a long moment.
Then she walked to the dining table, placing her handbag on one of the chairs.
“The investigation proved I was innocent.”
“Yes.”
“But that’s not why you’re apologizing.”
Adrian frowned.
“What do you mean?”
She finally looked him in the eye.
“You’re apologizing because the investigation proved I was right.”
His expression stiffened.
“If it had gone the other way...”
“ ... would you still have believed me?”
Adrian opened his mouth.
Nothing came out.
Vivian gave a small nod.
“That’s what I thought.”
She turned toward the staircase.
“Vivian.”
He stopped her.
“I don’t want us to end like this.”
Her hand rested on the banister.
For several seconds...
She didn’t move.
When she finally spoke, her voice was calm.
“Our marriage didn’t end yesterday.”
“It ended little by little.”
“Every time I needed you...”
“And you weren’t there.”
She continued upstairs without looking back.
Adrian remained standing in the empty living room.
For the first time...
He understood that one apology could never erase years of silence.
The next morning...
At L&B Interior Studio, the atmosphere had completely changed.
Employees greeted Vivian with warm smiles.
Some even applauded as she entered.
Chris laughed.
“Looks like the office has decided to throw you a welcome-back party.”
Vivian smiled, embarrassed.
“You all don’t have to do this.”
“We do,” Daniel replied.
“You fought for your work.”
“And you won.”
Before Vivian could answer, Lena stepped out of her office.
“Vivian.”
“There are a few things I’d like to discuss with you.”
Her tone was calm.
Professional.
But there was something different in her expression.
Something thoughtful.
She held the door open.
“Come into my office.”
Vivian nodded and followed her inside.
As the office door closed...
Chris looked at Daniel.
“I have a feeling...”
“This conversation is going to change Vivian’s life.”
Vivian quietly closed the office door behind her.
Lena Brooks was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out over the city.
For a few moments, neither of them spoke.
Finally, Lena turned around.
“Sit down.”
