Confronting him calmly over dinner, Maya realizes that Jason has been lying to her for months, not just about money, but about their entire relationship. Two weeks later, Maya files for divorce. Jason doesn’t contest it, still believing in his “empire,” but when Lana’s website disappears, he’s left with nothing. Months later, he messages Maya about another “opportunity,” but she blocks him.

Now, Maya has reclaimed the guest room, filled it with her own things, and enjoys peace. She’s no longer the one locked out or ignored. At a bookstore, a casual conversation with a man reminds her of the peace she’s finally found. No more lies, no more pretending—just peace.
