Three days later, the first comprehensive accounting arrived.<\/p>\n
Not complete.<\/p>\n
Not final.<\/p>\n
Not even especially elegant.<\/p>\n
But for the first time, the financial pieces sat in one place instead of scattered across marriages, companies, family trusts, lender files, and private settlements.<\/p>\n
Jessica brought the report to the house.<\/p>\n
Detective Patel attended by video.<\/p>\n
Daniel Mercer came in person.<\/p>\n
Sarah arrived carrying coffee.<\/p>\n
Ethan and Chloe joined because parts of the accounting affected them directly.<\/p>\n
Miriam did not technically need to be there.<\/p>\n
She came anyway.<\/p>\n
I had grown used to that.<\/p>\n
The report began with Oak Creek Development.<\/p>\n
Then Oak Creek Holdings.<\/p>\n
Then BRM.<\/p>\n
Then Cedar Ridge.<\/p>\n
Then accounts tied to Laura Bennett\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n
Then disputed transfers involving Katherine, Rebecca, Marcus, Sarah, Ethan, Chloe, and me.<\/p>\n
The table looked less like bookkeeping and more like a family tree drawn by someone who hated families.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat am I looking at?\u201d Chloe asked.<\/p>\n
Jessica turned the first page.<\/p>\n
\u201cYears of related-party transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that bad?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot automatically.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing is automatic anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
She explained.<\/p>\n
Businesses owned by connected people often move money among themselves.<\/p>\n
Loans.<\/p>\n
Reimbursements.<\/p>\n
Capital contributions.<\/p>\n
Property expenses.<\/p>\n
Management fees.<\/p>\n
Legal on their own.<\/p>\n
Potentially problematic depending on documentation, authority, solvency, and disclosure.<\/p>\n
David\u2019s system was difficult not because every transfer was fraudulent.<\/p>\n
It was difficult because lawful and disputed transactions lived side by side.<\/p>\n
Sometimes in the same week.<\/p>\n
Sometimes under the same authorization.<\/p>\n
Sometimes supported by documents that appeared genuine until someone compared them against external records.<\/p>\n
\u201cWas Oak Creek actually failing?\u201d Ethan asked.<\/p>\n
The accountant\u2019s conclusion was careful.<\/p>\n
Oak Creek had experienced repeated liquidity crises for more than a decade.<\/p>\n
Some were real.<\/p>\n
Some were worsened by shifting assets among related entities.<\/p>\n
Some obligations were refinanced rather than resolved.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike moving debt from one pocket to another,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n
Jessica nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcus had described six hundred eighty thousand dollars in exposure.<\/p>\n
The accounting suggested the current figure was lower in some categories and higher in others.<\/p>\n
Debt was not one clean number.<\/p>\n
Certain loans were secured.<\/p>\n
Certain guarantees disputed.<\/p>\n
Some liabilities belonged to entities rather than David personally.<\/p>\n
Some could become personal depending on litigation.<\/p>\n
No single dramatic total explained the panic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was David trying to save?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
That question had bothered me.<\/p>\n
If Cedar Ridge was messy and Oak Creek indebted, what exactly did Northbridge\u2019s bridge loan preserve?<\/p>\n
Jessica turned several pages.<\/p>\n
\u201cControl.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cExplain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without new collateral, lenders could force liquidation of certain Oak Creek-related assets.<\/p>\n
A receiver might be appointed.<\/p>\n
Properties could be sold.<\/p>\n
Records would be examined.<\/p>\n
Management authority could be removed.<\/p>\n
Some transactions involving BRM and Cedar Ridge would receive outside scrutiny.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he wasn\u2019t only trying to save money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was trying to stop someone else from opening the books.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat appears to be an important part.\u201d<\/p>\n
The realization changed the scale of his desperation.<\/p>\n
David had told everyone Oak Creek collapse would destroy the family.<\/p>\n
But collapse also meant losing control over which records remained compartmentalized.<\/p>\n
A receiver would not care about old family embarrassment.<\/p>\n
A lender would not preserve Sarah\u2019s divorce narrative.<\/p>\n
An auditor would not respect Marcus\u2019s desire to keep disputes private.<\/p>\n
Once control left David\u2019s hands, the old walls between stories could fall.<\/p>\n
Northbridge\u2019s money was not merely oxygen.<\/p>\n
It was delay.<\/p>\n
Time before scrutiny.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would my house have bought him?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
Jessica looked at the model.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoughly twelve to eighteen months, depending on performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
A year.<\/p>\n
Maybe a year and a half.<\/p>\n
That was what my signature was worth to him.<\/p>\n
Not permanent salvation.<\/p>\n
More time.<\/p>\n
I laughed softly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah looked at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was willing to risk all this for another year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica corrected gently.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe may have believed a year would solve the underlying problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is not relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have an opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWill you tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled despite myself.<\/p>\n
Some things remained dependable.<\/p>\n
The accounting traced the fifty-two thousand four hundred dollars from my savings.<\/p>\n
Oak Creek.<\/p>\n
Then Cedar Ridge.<\/p>\n
Then property taxes and insurance.<\/p>\n
No personal luxury purchases.<\/p>\n
No yacht.<\/p>\n
No hidden vacation.<\/p>\n
The money had gone into keeping troubled property alive.<\/p>\n
That mattered emotionally.<\/p>\n
I had imagined stolen money disappearing into secret indulgence.<\/p>\n
Instead it went into overdue tax bills.<\/p>\n
Still unauthorized.<\/p>\n
Still concealed.<\/p>\n
But banal.<\/p>\n
Desperation often is.<\/p>\n
Ethan\u2019s disputed Northbridge guarantee had not been used because the financing never funded.<\/p>\n
Chloe\u2019s CKB Consulting guarantee had been attached to Harbor Ridge debt, but the lender had now disavowed enforcement against her.<\/p>\n
Cedar Ridge remained more complicated.<\/p>\n
Chloe\u2019s name had legal significance even though her appointment documents contained manipulated elements.<\/p>\n
Her independent counsel was petitioning for formal clarification.<\/p>\n
Until then, the neutral fiduciary remained.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens to the properties?\u201d Chloe asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cPossibly sale. Possibly restructuring. Possibly return of assets to proper owners.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I get anything?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou keep saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I mean it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her attorney, who had joined remotely, said, \u201cMeaning it emotionally is different from making a legal decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was growth too.<\/p>\n
The old Chloe might have signed just to make discomfort end.<\/p>\n
The current Chloe had learned that strong feelings were not substitutes for informed action.<\/p>\n
David would have hated that.<\/p>\n
The next section concerned Sarah\u2019s divorce.<\/p>\n
The accountant could not conclude that Sarah lost a specific amount through misrepresentation.<\/p>\n
Too much time.<\/p>\n
Too many settlements.<\/p>\n
Too many ratification clauses.<\/p>\n
But the report found that Oak Creek-related asset values had likely been understated during negotiations.<\/p>\n
Not necessarily intentionally in every instance.<\/p>\n
Some valuations were genuinely uncertain.<\/p>\n
Others depended on disputed debt.<\/p>\n
The commercial parcel later sold for more than one million dollars, but that did not mean it had been worth that amount at divorce.<\/p>\n
Still, there were enough inconsistencies to justify further review.<\/p>\n
Sarah listened without expression.<\/p>\n
When Jessica finished, she asked, \u201cSo I may never know what I should have gotten.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I have a case?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPotentially.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood one?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica hesitated.<\/p>\n
\u201cComplicated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLimitation defenses. Settlement language. Ratification. Evidence age. But newly discovered fraud allegations can affect analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I have to decide now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked relieved.<\/p>\n
Slow.<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
The next section concerned Rebecca.<\/p>\n
Her settlement was clearer.<\/p>\n
Her release had resolved her disputed guarantee.<\/p>\n
The $212,000 transfer into her trust account had been legitimate settlement security.<\/p>\n
David\u2019s later claim that Sarah took that money was false according to every record located so far.<\/p>\n
Sarah sat back.<\/p>\n
That number no longer belonged to her.<\/p>\n
One accusation removed.<\/p>\n
One old shame returned to its rightful place.<\/p>\n
Rebecca\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Not shame exactly.<\/p>\n
History.<\/p>\n
Katherine\u2019s old buyout also appeared legitimate in the end.<\/p>\n
David\u2019s leverage sheet had reused the exact amount years later for an unrelated transaction.<\/p>\n
Same number.<\/p>\n
Different story.<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
The accounting team had begun calling this \u201camount recycling.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not a legal term.<\/p>\n
A descriptive one.<\/p>\n
David repeatedly used memorable real amounts when constructing explanations.<\/p>\n
It reduced the need to invent details.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe memorized numbers better than people,\u201d Miriam said.<\/p>\n
Nobody disagreed.<\/p>\n
The report then addressed BRM.<\/p>\n
Marcus had been telling the truth about some things and wrong about others.<\/p>\n
He had genuinely believed two properties were sold.<\/p>\n
Technically, interests had transferred to related entities instead.<\/p>\n
His signature appeared on paperwork authorizing initial steps.<\/p>\n
The final transfer documents used expanded authority.<\/p>\n
Some appeared to rely on scanned signature pages.<\/p>\n
Investigators were still reviewing whether criminal conduct could be proved.<\/p>\n
Marcus faced civil consequences regardless.<\/p>\n
His years of inattention had cost him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens to him?\u201d Ethan asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinancially?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica turned pages.<\/p>\n
\u201cPotentially significant losses.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes he deserve that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica gave Ethan a look.<\/p>\n
He sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight. Not your job.\u201d<\/p>\n
I understood why he asked.<\/p>\n
Consequences feel more satisfying when they match moral judgment.<\/p>\n
Reality rarely calibrates that neatly.<\/p>\n
Marcus might lose more money than David in one category.<\/p>\n
Less in another.<\/p>\n
He might never face criminal charges.<\/p>\n
He might carry guilt longer than any legal penalty.<\/p>\n
No spreadsheet could balance that.<\/p>\n
Then came the section I had been waiting for.<\/p>\n
My house.<\/p>\n
No valid transfer.<\/p>\n
No valid lien.<\/p>\n
No Northbridge claim.<\/p>\n
No Cedar Ridge claim.<\/p>\n
No Oak Creek ownership.<\/p>\n
My father\u2019s trust held.<\/p>\n
I read the paragraph twice.<\/p>\n
Clean.<\/p>\n
Unaffected.<\/p>\n
Protected.<\/p>\n
The property was still what it had been before Christmas.<\/p>\n
My home.<\/p>\n
Not collateral.<\/p>\n
Not leverage.<\/p>\n
Not family rescue capital.<\/p>\n
Mine under the trust\u2019s terms.<\/p>\n
My father had won a fight he never lived to see.<\/p>\n
I looked at Daniel Mercer.<\/p>\n
He looked back.<\/p>\n
Neither of us spoke.<\/p>\n
We still had things unresolved between us.<\/p>\n
His delays.<\/p>\n
The warnings he withheld.<\/p>\n
But the trust had done what Dad intended.<\/p>\n
One truth did not erase the other.<\/p>\n
The accounting also identified something David had not disclosed in any settlement offer.<\/p>\n
A life insurance policy.<\/p>\n
Nothing unusual by itself.<\/p>\n
But the owner was David.<\/p>\n
Insured person:<\/p>\n
Me.<\/p>\n
My pulse increased.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid I know about this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica looked at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen apparently not.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
The room changed.<\/p>\n
Sarah looked alarmed.<\/p>\n
Miriam did too.<\/p>\n
Detective Patel immediately raised a hand on the screen.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not overinterpret.\u201d<\/p>\n
I appreciated her speed.<\/p>\n
Life insurance between spouses was common.<\/p>\n
Employer benefits.<\/p>\n
Estate planning.<\/p>\n
Mortgage protection.<\/p>\n
A million dollars sounded dramatic only because everything else had become suspicious.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen was it issued?\u201d Jessica asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cFive years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBeneficiary?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid I sign an application?\u201d<\/p>\n
A scanned signature existed.<\/p>\n
It looked like mine.<\/p>\n
I stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica did not ask whether that meant it was forged.<\/p>\n
She asked whether I had ever discussed life insurance with David.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter Dad died.\u201d<\/p>\n
That helped.<\/p>\n
We may have applied legitimately.<\/p>\n
\u201cCould I have signed it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think you did?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPossibly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
Complexity.<\/p>\n
Patel said investigators had no evidence the policy related to the current fraud inquiry.<\/p>\n
That should have reassured me.<\/p>\n
It did not immediately.<\/p>\n
Because once trust has been damaged, ordinary facts acquire shadows.<\/p>\n
Jessica saw that.<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSay it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA life insurance policy is not evidence he intended physical harm.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate that I need to say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The policy became one more item to verify, not one more story.<\/p>\n
That discipline protected me from becoming what David had claimed I was.<\/p>\n
Unstable.<\/p>\n
Suspicious.<\/p>\n
Unable to distinguish evidence from fear.<\/p>\n
By noon, the accounting meeting ended.<\/p>\n
Everyone left except Jessica.<\/p>\n
She closed the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is something separate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid\u2019s attorney wants mediation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the marriage?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFinancial case?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCivil marital issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the accounting clarified enough assets to make negotiations more concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sat.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes mediation mean settlement?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReconciliation?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDivorce?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot necessarily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA structured conversation about separation, property, support, and interim arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n
David wanted to speak through counsel.<\/p>\n
Not directly.<\/p>\n
That respected the boundary I set.<\/p>\n
For once.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I have to?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWould you recommend it?\u201d<\/p>\n
She paused.<\/p>\n
\u201cI recommend understanding your options before deciding.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVery lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
I agreed to an initial session.<\/p>\n
Not because I wanted closure quickly.<\/p>\n
Because the opposite of David\u2019s system was not refusing every conversation.<\/p>\n
It was choosing when and how to have one.<\/p>\n
Mediation was scheduled for the following week.<\/p>\n
That evening, I walked through the house alone.<\/p>\n
The Christmas decorations were still up.<\/p>\n
I had not had the energy to remove them.<\/p>\n
The tree lights cast small reflections across the windows.<\/p>\n
I found myself remembering David decorating the tree two weeks earlier.<\/p>\n
He had complained that I hung ornaments too close together.<\/p>\n
I had thrown tinsel at him.<\/p>\n
He laughed.<\/p>\n
That happened.<\/p>\n
The memory was real.<\/p>\n
Knowing what he was planning did not erase the laugh.<\/p>\n
That was difficult.<\/p>\n
But I was learning to let contradictory truths remain.<\/p>\n
I could miss him and reject what he did.<\/p>\n
I could understand his fear and refuse his excuses.<\/p>\n
I could acknowledge that he intended to protect family wealth and still call unauthorized decisions wrong.<\/p>\n
I could love a memory without returning to the person who made it dangerous.<\/p>\n
The next morning, Detective Patel called.<\/p>\n
The forensic accountant had found one more spreadsheet.<\/p>\n
Not hidden.<\/p>\n
Not encrypted.<\/p>\n
Simply overlooked among Oak Creek records.<\/p>\n
Title:<\/p>\n
EXIT OPTIONS.<\/p>\n
Created three months earlier.<\/p>\n
There were four.<\/p>\n
Refinance through Northbridge.<\/p>\n
Sell Cedar Ridge properties.<\/p>\n
Seek investor capital.<\/p>\n
Use Claire property.<\/p>\n
Beside the first three, David had written reasons they were difficult.<\/p>\n
Northbridge: requires collateral.<\/p>\n
Cedar: too many claims.<\/p>\n
Investors: disclosure risk.<\/p>\n
Beside the fourth:<\/p>\n
Cleanest. C will resist if fully informed.<\/p>\n
I read that sentence twice.<\/p>\n
C will resist if fully informed.<\/p>\n
No ambiguity.<\/p>\n
No claim that he believed I had already agreed.<\/p>\n
No misunderstanding about marital permission.<\/p>\n
He knew information mattered.<\/p>\n
He knew my answer might depend on it.<\/p>\n
And he knew that full information could produce refusal.<\/p>\n
The next line:<\/p>\n
Need consent environment, not debate.<\/p>\n
My stomach turned.<\/p>\n
That phrase explained Christmas better than anything else.<\/p>\n
Consent environment.<\/p>\n
Not free consent.<\/p>\n
An environment engineered to produce it.<\/p>\n
Family pressure.<\/p>\n
False evidence.<\/p>\n
Isolation.<\/p>\n
Urgency.<\/p>\n
Medication.<\/p>\n
One signature.<\/p>\n
He had not merely taken shortcuts.<\/p>\n
He had planned around my right to say no.<\/p>\n
Detective Patel said nothing while I read.<\/p>\n
She did not need to.<\/p>\n
For months, I had been trying to answer one question beneath all the others.<\/p>\n
Did David truly believe he had permission?<\/p>\n
The spreadsheet did not settle every legal question.<\/p>\n
But emotionally, it settled mine.<\/p>\n
He knew I might refuse if fully informed.<\/p>\n
So he chose not to fully inform me.<\/p>\n
Then he built a room designed to make refusal harder.<\/p>\n
That was the betrayal.<\/p>\n
Not the debt.<\/p>\n
Not even the money.<\/p>\n
The deliberate removal of choice.<\/p>\n
I sent the spreadsheet to Jessica.<\/p>\n
Then I stood in the dining room where that environment had been meant to exist.<\/p>\n
The table was empty now.<\/p>\n
No folder.<\/p>\n
No signatures.<\/p>\n
No Sarah positioned as rival.<\/p>\n
No children primed to judge.<\/p>\n
No David explaining what everyone supposedly believed.<\/p>\n
Just sunlight across wood.<\/p>\n
I placed both hands on the table.<\/p>\n
For the first time, the house felt entirely mine again.<\/p>\n
Not because the trust said so.<\/p>\n
Because I understood the choice David had tried to take.<\/p>\n
And I had it back.<\/p>\n
Three days later, the first comprehensive accounting arrived. Not complete. Not final. Not even especially elegant. But for the first time, the financial pieces sat in one place instead of … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feel-every-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5489"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5524,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5489\/revisions\/5524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feeleverystory.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
