Georgia's POV
A new week rises with the kind of heavy stillness that settles in your bones. Today isn't just another Monday; it's the day everything ends or finally begins. Raymond and Nancy's sentencing. The final chapter of a battle that has stretched all of us thin.
Oliver was on sick leave, so his senior associates and Benjamin's lawyer handled the hearings last week when Colleen and Irene gave their testimonies. Everyone who attended said it was a sure win—clean, solid, airtight.
And yet… my nerves won't listen to logic.
Raymond's parents, Jefferson and Solana Davis of East West Corporation, sat through every hearing with cold, unreadable faces. Nancy's parents, owners of a nationwide hotel empire, did the same. People with wealth, power, and influence so wide it could wrap around the country twice.
People who can bend the truth… or twist justice… if they want to.
The courtroom feels colder today.
