MINA THE SIDECHICK
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Before George disappeared, we were having a tough time in our relationship. Finding out he had been married before really hurt me, and we were struggling to get past it. Then, one day, the phone rang in our dimly lit apartment. I was nervous to answer, not recognizing the number. “Hello?” I said cautiously.
“Mina, it’s me,” George said on the other end. I couldn’t believe it was him.
“George? Is it really you?” I asked, tears welling up.
“Yes, Mina. I’m safe. I managed to escape,” he replied urgently.
I felt a rush of relief as George apologized for his mistakes and explained how he had escaped from Sandrine’s thugs. He had discovered that Sandrine killed our kids and in order to make her face justice, he abducted him. Tears streamed down my face realizing how betrayed we had been.
“I’m so sorry, George. I should have never started that business.” I said, feeling guilty.
“No, Mina. It’s not your fault. Sandrine was clever and fooled both of us,” he reassured me.
After our emotional talk, George came home. We hugged each other tightly, grateful to be together again. But there was still more to do. George decided to come back to our country to gather evidence against Sandrine and make sure she was punished.
For the next few months, George stayed with his mom and myself but never let anyone know he was alive. We grieved our loss together and started to heal.
When George returned, he was determined to bring Sandrine to justice. With the evidence he had collected, the police arrested Sandrine for killing our children and trying to kill George.
At Sandrine’s trial, everyone learned the awful things she had done. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Justice was finally done, but the pain stayed with us.
Afterwards, George and I grew closer again. We leaned on each other and our faith. George asked me to marry him again, and we renewed our commitment to each other.
We decided to start fresh in a new country together. It was a chance to leave our painful memories behind and look forward to a better future.
Now, as I watch our sons play in the yard of our new home, I feel thankful. Despite everything we went through, our love conquered all.
