I used to believe their friendship was rock-solid, but the truth was, it was built on Julian's wallet. The whole thing collapsed like a house of cards the second trouble came knocking.
Before I knew it, the year was winding down. My project team had crushed every target, and everyone walked away with fat bonus checks that made all our hard work worth it.
At the annual company meeting, the VP called me up on stage to give an inspirational speech. Standing there under the warm spotlight, surrounded by the clink of champagne glasses, I looked out at a sea of smiling faces and thunderous applause.
Six months ago, I was just a part-time housewife living in some man's shadow, getting kicked around by him and his toxic circle. Now? I'd finally found my footing.
Tears pricked at my eyes as I gripped the mic. "Thank you for this incredible opportunity," I said, voice steady despite the emotion. "I promise to keep pushing myself to deliver even greater results for our company."
From now on, my light would shine for me alone. I'd grow strong as an oak, unshakable, no matter what storms came my way.
The company car dropped me off at my apartment complex. I took my time walking home, letting the past six months replay in my mind.
The streets were nearly deserted at this late hour. Then I felt it, a crisp breeze brushing my cheek. I looked up.
The night sky had opened up, releasing the season's first snowfall. Tiny flakes swirled around me like nature's confetti, each one carrying a gentle winter kiss.
I couldn't help but smile as my steps turned buoyant. With hope lighting my path, I knew, really knew, better days were coming.
This was my story to write now. No more supporting character in someone else's drama. Just me, my dreams, and the courage to chase them.
