Freya's POV
Mira Tristan faces immediate surgery to terminate her pregnancy and remove one of her fallopian tubes. The procedure will devastate her body in ways that might never fully heal. With prison looming ahead and no time for proper recovery, her health could suffer permanent damage. The prospect of lifelong complications finally broke her stubborn resolve.
That fear drove her to swallow her pride and issue a public apology, begging for my mercy. The Tristan family mobilized every connection they possessed, pulling strings behind closed doors. When the case returned to court, the judge witnessed her apparent remorse and considered her dire physical condition. Mercy prevailed over justice. One year imprisonment with a two-year suspension became her sentence.
