After breakfast, Liberty’s phone rang.
It was Hank.
She didn’t answer—just handed the phone to Sonny.
These days, Hank only called to talk about their son. Liberty and her ex-husband rarely spoke, and when they did, it was always about Sonny. Their lives had moved on.
Now that Zachary had stopped suppressing Hank’s career, he had found a new rhythm.
Hank didn’t work a regular job anymore. Instead, he drove for a ride-hailing service. The freedom suited him. He made enough to live comfortably and even managed to save some money, especially since he no longer indulged in lavish spending. Other than Sonny’s child support, he didn’t have major expenses.
Once a month, Hank visited Jessica in prison. He encouraged her to behave well, reduce her sentence, and come home sooner. He promised to wait for her—no matter how long it took.
