The Cult Was Just the Beginning: Part 2

In this gripping continuation of Abby’s story, what begins as a fresh start quickly unravels into something far more complicated and unsettling. As her new marriage takes shape, subtle shifts in behavior raise questions about trust, control, and the reality behind closed doors. With her past still casting a long shadow, Abby finds herself navigating a relationship that feels increasingly unfamiliar, forcing her to confront difficult truths about love, independence, and the patterns we don’t always realize we’re repeating.
