Chapter 12 - Elise Walks Away From The Suburban Luxury Mansion
Back in Westchester County, professional movers were busy wrapping the remaining furniture and art pieces in protective blankets.
Elise supervised the relocation of her personal design archives, preparing to move her headquarters permanently to a modern penthouse in Manhattan.
She had sold the lake house to a private corporate buyer for four point eight million dollars, turning a massive profit on her father’s initial investment.
As the final moving truck pulled out of the driveway, Elise walked through the empty rooms one last time, feeling a profound sense of lightness.
There were no longer any expectations to meet, no fragile male egos to protect, and no toxic mother-in-law criticisms to endure.
She walked out onto the front porch, locking the heavy brass front door and dropping the key into her leather handbag.
She got into her sleek silver Porsche, started the engine, and drove down the winding suburban road without shedding a single tear.
