Chapter 49
Chapter 49 begins a new chapter of liberation, where each sunrise feels like a gift that had long been withheld. For the first time in years, there’s space to breathe, to savor, and to choose without fear. Being able to drive, plan trips spontaneously, or simply sit by the sea with a cool drink has become a luxury that no longer needs permission. These everyday moments—once overshadowed by restriction and surveillance—now serve as quiet declarations of independence. They offer a sense of healing,…-

Chapter 48
Chapter 48 marked a powerful shift in reclaiming autonomy. After over a decade of forced silence and legal control, I finally acknowledged what everyone around me already knew—it was time for a change. Realizing I needed new legal representation was the first true step toward taking back my power. I reached out to Cade and my social media team for guidance, and that’s when I found Mathew Rosengart. A respected former federal prosecutor with clients like Keanu Reeves and Steven Spielberg, he immediately…-

Chapter 47
Chapter 47 began with a single voice, trembling but determined, echoing through a phone line that connected me to a courtroom—and the rest of the world.

As I sat in my living room in Los Angeles with Hesam holding my hand, I felt the weight of the moment press down on me. I had prepared countless versions of what I wanted to say, but nothing could fully erase the…-

Chapter 46
Chapter 46 marked a critical moment in my journey—a moment when silence was no longer bearable. I had spent thirteen years with a court-appointed lawyer who, despite being in my corner in name, never truly advocated for me. During the pandemic, I started questioning his intentions more deeply. I began calling him regularly, twice a week, hoping to use the consistency to create some sense of control over my own life. In every call, I searched for signs that he believed in me and the freedom I sought, but…-

Chapter 45
Chapter 45 marked a new beginning, one where I actively worked to reclaim my sense of identity. I turned to social media not for fame, but to remind people—and myself—that I was still human. Sharing pieces of my everyday life, especially fashion and music, became a healing process. Dressing up and taking photos felt empowering, not performative. It gave me back control in a world where so much had been taken from me. While some followers found it odd, I relished the freedom of finally choosing how I…-
