Chapter 15 - Sarah Returns To The Quiet Suburban Home Safely
Two days after the terrifying ordeal, Sarah stepped out of Lucas’s truck and walked up the front steps of her suburban house.
The broken baby bottles had been cleared away, and the front hallway smelled faintly of fresh lavender and lemon polish.
Max the Rottweiler trotted happily beside her, keeping a protective, gentle pace as they entered the living room.
“It feels good to finally be back home where we belong, away from all that nightmare,” Sarah smiled softly.
“And you’re never going to have to worry about Chad ever stepping foot through this front door again,” Lucas promised her.
He carried her remaining hospital bags into the master bedroom, setting them neatly on the freshly made bed.
Sarah walked over to the large bay window, looking out over the peaceful suburban street bathed in afternoon sunlight.
“The police called an hour ago; the district attorney added federal wire fraud charges to Chad’s case file,” Lucas noted.
“Good. Let him rot in a prison cell for everything he put me and my unborn child through,” Sarah said firmly.
