The room was deathly silent.

Even Laura couldn’t find words.

Alex stood up again, but the man who rose was no longer the tired soldier who had just come home. His voice was calm. Cold. Final.

He walked to Laura and her mother, took each of them firmly by the arm, and led them toward the door.

“Get out of my house,” he said.

They tried to argue.

He opened the door wider.

“One more word,” he said quietly, “and I call the police. I’ve seen war. I’ve seen cruelty. And what you’ve done to my mother is worse.”

The door slammed shut.

When he turned back to me, his eyes softened.

“I’m here now,” he said, helping me to my feet. “You will never kneel in your own home again.”

That night, Alex cooked dinner himself. He threw away the old bucket. He brought me a chair, wrapped my knees, and listened as I told him everything I had been too afraid to say for years.

And for the first time in a very long time, I slept without fear.

Not because the house was quiet.

But because my son was home.

And this time… he stayed.
