He Exiled Me for Five Years to Make Room for His Mistress Chapter 10

At the end of the year, the project team organized a retreat, and Logan invited me to watch the sunrise with him.

Sunrise over the high desert was breathtaking.

Beside me, he said softly, “Let the past stay in the past. You deserve a better future.”

I turned to look at him. His eyes were clear and sincere.

In that moment, I finally understood that some wounds needed time to heal, but life still had to go on.

Two years later, I heard that Ethan had become a volunteer teacher at an underfunded school in a remote rural community.

His monthly stipend was barely enough to live on, but he stayed.

Someone asked him why.

He said he was trying to atone.

I didn’t respond.

I simply kept living my own life.

Logan and I got married.

The wedding was simple. We held it in the high desert, and everyone who came was from the project team.

We never had children of our own, but we adopted two orphaned children.

I stood in the high desert and watched the sun sink below the horizon, thinking of the girl I had been five years ago, crying in this same place.

That girl was dead.

But the new me was living well.
