Chapter 9 - Damian Opened His Father's Safe and Found a Letter Written for the Son He Thought Would Never Discover the TruthThe letter was simple.
"Damian,
If you are reading this, I failed to protect you.
Do not become like me.
Power is not measured by how many people fear you.
It is measured by how many people feel safe around you.
Protect the innocent.
Trust slowly.
Love without fear.
And if you ever meet someone who makes you want to become a better man, don't let your pride destroy it."
Damian cried.
He had spent eight years believing his father had died because he wasn't strong enough.
Now he understood.
His father had sacrificed everything.
Damian looked at me.
Then at Lila.
"I don't want to lose this."

I didn't ask what he meant.
I already knew.
