Chapter 12 - Maya Purchases The Fifth Avenue Jewelry Store Outright
Two weeks after the incident, Maya returned to the Fifth Avenue jewelry store where her scratch had been inflicted by Evelyn. The staff stood at attention as the store manager bowed respectfully, presenting her with the deed of ownership to the commercial building.
Maya walked over to the glass display case where the broken diamond-and-ruby necklace had crashed during the confrontation. She instructed the resident jeweler to melt down the precious metals and sell the gems to fund shelter programs for women across New York.
"Evelyn tried to mark me with blood in this room," Maya told the staff as she looked at her reflection in the glass. "Now this room will serve as a sanctuary of empowerment and hope for thousands who have suffered in silence."
