After the dinner, Leigh made a decision with calm certainty. Derek temporarily moved out, and she told him they would communicate only through proper channels moving forward. As she cleaned the house the next morning and welcomed her twins into the living room again, she felt something shift inside her—not triumph, but peace. For the first time in weeks, the home felt steady. Derek later sent a series of messages asking for forgiveness, but Leigh stayed firm.

With her children in her arms and her family standing by her, Leigh understood that healing had already begun, and the life ahead of her would be built on honesty, stability, and self-respect.
