Chapter 13 - Bella Found Her Grandmother’s Last Letter Hidden Inside the Pendant, and It Explained Why Marina Had Risked Everything to Save MeBella found the final letter at eleven.
It was hidden inside the pendant.
The letter was from my mother.
She wrote:
“Marina, if Lorenzo survives, don't let him become his father.”
Marina cried.
Bella read the final line aloud:
“Teach him that love is not weakness.”
I looked at Marina.
She had.
She had spent years doing it.
I had simply been too angry to notice.
Bella asked:
“What does this mean?”
I answered:
“It means your grandmother loved us enough to ask someone else to save us.”
Bella smiled.
“Marina did.”
“Yes.”
She hugged Marina.

Then me.
Family.
