Chapter 14 - Daniel's Confession Daniel came to see me.

Not begging.
Not shouting.
Just tired.
“I didn't know Victor would go this far.”
“You helped him.”
“I was angry.”
“You wanted revenge.”
“Yes.”
He looked at the floor.
“I thought if I exposed you, you'd lose everything.”
“And then?”
“I realized I never wanted your money.”
I stared at him.
“You wanted my power.”
He nodded.
“I wanted to feel like a man again.”
For the first time, I saw the truth.
Daniel hadn't hated me because I was weak.
He hated me because I was stronger than he was.
“I won't forgive you,” I said.
“I know.”
“But I won't destroy you either.”
His eyes filled.

“Why?”
“Because Noah deserves a father who learns from his mistakes.”
