I checked the box confirming I was the sole legal owner of the property and had the unilateral right to sell.

I pressed the blue button that read *Submit Signed Documents*.

A green checkmark appeared on the screen.

“It’s done,” I told Molly.

“Now we wait for Jennifer,” she said.

I looked back at the security feed.

Brent was in the kitchen now, opening a bottle of champagne.

He poured three glasses, handing one to Diane and one to Karen.

They raised their glasses in a toast.

They thought they had won.

They thought they had locked me out of my own life, leaving me with nothing but a baby and a broken heart.

My phone rang.

It was an unknown number with a local Boulder area code.

I answered it.

“Tessa?” a man’s voice asked.

“Yes,” I said.

“This is Elliot,” he said. “I’m with the buyer’s representative. Jennifer just forwarded the fully executed deed.”

“Is the sale final?” I asked.

“It’s officially recorded,” Elliot said. “The funds have been wired to your escrow account. The house now belongs to Crestview Holdings LLC.”
