Chapter 15

He told her everything in simple words: the shares, the companies, the control, the plan that was much bigger than just a wedding. The girl listened without interrupting."So it's not just about taking care of you," she said when he finished. "It's about taking everything.""Yes," he said. "Everything."She was quiet for a moment, then she said, "Then you don't just stand up at the wedding."He looked at her. "What do you mean?""You stand up," she said, "and you tell the truth in front of everyone. Not just that she hurt your legs, but that she planned everything."He leaned back in the wheelchair slightly. "My lawyer said the same thing. If we go to court quietly, it will take years. But if we show the board, the investors, and everyone at once, she won't have time to fix the story."The girl nodded. "Bad people are strong when things are quiet," she said. "They are weak when everyone can see."He looked at her for a long moment. "You know," he said, "most people in my world have expensive degrees, big offices, and important titles. But the clearest advice I've heard in the last six months has come from you."She shrugged a little. "My grandpa says truth is simple. People just like to make it complicated when they are hiding something."He smiled slightly. "Your grandpa is a very dangerous man."She smiled back a little. "He just grows plants."They moved to the stone path again. "Today, we walk farther," she said.He stood up slowly. His legs were still weak, but now they obeyed him. Not perfectly, not strongly, but they obeyed."One step," she said.He took one step."Another."He took another. They moved slowly along the stone path: five steps, then six. On the seventh step, his leg trembled badly, and he stopped."Rest," she said.
