Ididn’t expect it to happen that fast.

But by morning—

Everything exploded.

My phone started buzzing before the sun was fully up. Not one call. Not two.

Dozens.

Messages stacked on top of each other. Missed calls. Notifications. Emails.

I stared at the screen for a long second, my stomach tightening.

“It’s out,” I whispered.

Ace was already moving, grabbing his phone, scanning something on the screen.

“Yeah,” he said. “It’s out.”

My heart started pounding.

Not fear.

Not exactly.

Something bigger.

I opened one of the messages.

A link.

I clicked it.

And there it was.

My name.

Front and center.

INNOCENT WOMAN IMPRISONED SIX YEARS—NEW FOOTAGE REVEALS TRUTH, IMPLICATES COUNTY SHERIFF WHO IS ALSO THE DEAD GIRL'S UNCLE

My breath caught.

“Oh my God…”

I scrolled.

The video was there.

The still frame.

The breakdown.

Everything Sarah said she would do—

She did it.

And she did it right.
