FINAL EPISODE

Isabelle felt great satisfaction with the successful outcome of the case.

Using Jackson's dictaphone as key evidence led to Chief Balam being sentenced to thirty years in prison—a harsh punishment, especially given that he was nearly seventy years old.

As she watched the elderly man being led away in handcuffs into the police truck, she smiled, reflecting on how justice had finally triumphed over money in Nigeria.

"Your time has come, Chief Balam," she thought.

Noticing Rosa wiping away tears at the back of the courtroom, Isabelle approached her. "You're still upset about what Mary went through, aren't you? I feel the same," she said, offering Rosa a cup of juice.

Rosa took a sip and said sadly, "My mother was so ignorant, but she loved me so much."

Isabelle smiled gently. "No matter what our parents are like, they'll never abandon their children. My mother died trying to save my brother. The house was on fire, and instead of saving herself, she saved him first."

Rosa began to cry. "Maybe if I had opened up to my mother, she wouldn't have died the way she did."

Isabelle held her hand softly. "We all have regrets in life, but we can find comfort in the good things. You have a family now that would do anything for you. I remember when Aunt Juliana cried when you had typhoid. She was terrified of losing you. Aunt Juliana is your real mother now. Yes, there are things we wish we could change, but don't forget you have a family who loves you."

Rosa hugged Isabelle, acknowledging the truth in her words.

After saying goodbye to Rosa and her mother, Isabelle headed to her car and noticed Victor on the other side.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him.

Trying to ignore him, she opened her car door, but he stopped her.

With a sigh, Victor said, "Thank you for getting justice for my sister, Isabelle."

Rolling her eyes, Isabelle started to say, "Why are you even here? They have..."

But before she could finish, Victor hugged her, surprising her.

Tears filled Victor's eyes as he pulled back from the hug. "I'm sorry, Isabelle. I'm sorry for everything—for being stupid and immature, for making things difficult. Please give me another chance to win your love, Isabelle."

Isabelle tried to hold back her tears, but her emotions overwhelmed her.

Victor gently wiped her tears away, saying, "You're making me cry, Isabelle. Please, stop crying."

"No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop caring about you. You were so annoying, and even ten years couldn't make me get over my feelings for you," she admitted.

Victor hugged her again. "Isabelle, please marry me. Even if you try to leave, I won't let you go. I'll hold on to you with everything I have."

***

Raymond helped Rosa out of the chapel after they said goodbye to Victor and his new wife.

It was Victor and Isabelle's wedding, and Rosa, who was almost ten months pregnant, had been there with everyone else.

As the couple drove away, Rosa suddenly noticed water running down her legs.

Juliana quickly realized what was happening and rushed over. "We need to get to the hospital now!"

Confused, Raymond asked, "What's going on, Mother?"

"Rosa's water broke! We need to help her to the car!" Juliana responded urgently.

Rosa's water had broken during the wedding, but she had held on until the ceremony was over.

She asked Juliana to be the only one with her in the delivery room, wanting her mother by her side.

Raymond stayed in the waiting room, praying.

Even though he felt a bit jealous that Rosa had chosen her mother over him, he understood the strong bond between them.

Rosa gave birth to a baby boy who looked just like Raymond.

The whole family gathered to welcome the new addition, including Victor and Isabelle.

Victor, holding the baby, said excitedly, "Since you were born on my wedding day, I pray you'll look just like me when you grow up."

"God forbid!" shouted Rosa, Juliana, and Isabelle at the same time, making everyone laugh.

Raymond jokingly dabbed Rosa's face with a towel. "Even though my wife chose her mother over me, I still adore her," he said.

Rosa smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "You know I'd choose you every time, my dear husband."

Raymond teased, "Well, we have Richard now. He'll definitely choose me over you."

Everyone laughed again.

"You can't be so sure about that," Rosa replied with a smile.

Amid the laughter, Raymond said, "I love you so much, Rosa. I'll cherish you forever, my Proverbs 31 woman."
