Chapter 18 - The Woman Who Came for HelpJennifer sat at Bessie's kitchen table.

She told her everything.

Lennox had started over.

New city.

New name.

New man.

Same story.

Same manipulation.

Same promises.

Bessie listened quietly.

Then she made tea.

“You came here because you want to stop her?”

Jennifer nodded.

“I don't know how.”

Bessie looked at the woman sitting across from her.

“I didn't stop her.”

Jennifer looked confused.

“You did.”

“No.”

Bessie shook her head.

“I protected myself. Terrence had to choose to save himself.”

She leaned forward.

“The first thing you need to understand is this: you cannot rescue someone from another person's manipulation unless they're willing to see the truth.”

Jennifer nodded slowly.

“Then what can I do?”

Bessie smiled.

“Document everything.”
