He was convicted.
But before sentencing, he asked to see me.
I went.
He looked broken.
“I am sorry.”
I stared.
“Why?”
“I wanted the company.”
“And my daughters.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“I thought Dad loved you more.”
“He did not.”
“I know.”
“You destroyed yourself for something that was never yours.”
He nodded.
“Can you forgive me?”

“Yes.”

He cried.
“But forgiveness doesn't mean trust.”
“I know.”
“You'll face consequences.”
“I accept them.”
I left.
