Chapter 8 - Serena Returned and Confessed That She Had Been Manipulated Since Childhood—But She Still Had to Face What She Had Done to MeSerena came to my house.
She looked different.
No designer dress.
No expensive jewelry.
Just my sister.
“Can I come in?”
I nodded.
She sat.
“I owe you an explanation.”
“You owe me more than that.”
“I know.”
She admitted our father had manipulated her.
He told her that if she didn't marry Julian, I'd take everything.
He told her our mother loved me more.
He convinced her she was invisible.
She believed him.
I listened.
Then she said:
“I hated you for having what I wanted.”
“What did you want?”
“Your confidence.”
I laughed softly.
“I wasn't confident.”
“You looked like you were.”
“That was survival.”
She cried.
I didn't.
Not anymore.
“I forgive you.”
She looked up.
“But?”
“But you don't get to come back into my life as if nothing happened.”
She nodded.
“I understand.”
“Earn it.”
May you like
She nodded.
That was enough.
