Chapter 6: The Museum Reopens
Six months later, the Hawthorne Museum reopened.
But it was no longer a place where powerful people could hide.
Mara changed everything.
The private auction rooms became public galleries.
The security system became a symbol.
Not of control.
But protection.
A new exhibit opened that night.
Its name:
“The Cost of Silence.”
Inside were stories from people who had been ignored.
People who had been afraid.
People who finally spoke.
During the opening ceremony, Mara stood beneath the same glass ceiling where everything had started.
Her father joined her.
“You changed this place.”
Mara looked around.
“No.”

She smiled slightly.
“The truth changed it.”
