Seeing extent of manipulations
My brother gradually became aware of Cassie’s machinations and expressed gratitude for my assistance. ‘You truly saved me,’ he told me one afternoon, his eyes genuine. ‘I’m not sure what I would have done if you hadn’t stepped in.’ We shared a silent moment, the weight of what had happened still palpable but tinged with relief. ‘We’ll get through it,’ I promised him. He nodded, a thankful smile emerging.

Family grows stronger
Despite the suffering, our family got stronger, and my brother learned to be more discerning in his relationships. ‘I’ve learned a lot from this,’ he admitted over a family supper. Our parents nodded their approval. Dad added, “We’re always here to support you.” The ordeal had brought us closer, with each of us learning the need of trust and communication. My brother’s heart would mend, and we would emerge as one family.
