Chapter 12 - The Mansion Sale

Vivian fought until the final day.

Then the bank issued formal default notices.

The mansion went on the market.

The family gathered while photographers took listing pictures.

Furniture was moved.

Flowers arranged.

Rooms staged.

The same dining room where Vivian had forced Emma to the floor appeared online under the description:

Elegant marble entertaining space.

Emma stared at the photograph.

Then closed the browser.

She felt nothing.

That surprised her.

Healing sometimes arrived as indifference.

The mansion sold for $3.25 million.

After debt, fees, and taxes, Vivian received $117,000.
