Chapter 13 - My Father’s Final Letter Told Me the One Thing I Needed to Hear After Spending Seven Years Believing Fear Was the Only Way to SurviveThe final letter was short.
Adrian,
If you are reading this, you have survived me.
That is what I wanted.
Not my empire.
Not my enemies.
You.
The letter continued.
I taught you fear because I didn't know how to teach you trust.
I'm sorry.
I cried.
Then one final line:
Your daughter will teach you what I couldn't.
I looked toward Eva.
She was playing in the garden.
Laughing.
Talking.
Free.
May you like
My father had been right.
She had taught me.
