Chapter 22 - CULLEN GETS OLDER
At sixty, I stopped traveling for work almost completely.
Not because court ordered decades earlier.
Because I was tired.
My operating president became CEO.
I became chairman for three years.
Then left.
People asked whether Mireya would take over.
She laughed.
“No.”
She liked veterinary medicine.
Everyone tried to connect asthma to medicine.
She said:
“I like dogs.”
Good.
No destiny theft.
At university, she studied biology.
Then veterinary medicine.
Used no secret family trust because there wasn’t one.
I paid what I could.
Annelise’s life-insurance trust covered part of education under ordinary terms.
Independent trustee.
No Tove access.
No drama.
Mireya worked too.
Money was money.
Not plot.
I dated eventually.
Never remarried.
Not tragic devotion.
Preference.
Mireya had relationships.
Breakups.
An adult life.
Tove became one part of childhood.

Not title of every chapter.
That was recovery.
