Chapter 11 - SELENA'S LETTER
Months later, I received a letter from Selena.
She was serving her sentence.
She didn't ask for forgiveness.
She didn't ask for money.
She simply wrote:
I used to believe people like you were lucky.
I thought money made you safe.
Then I watched you lose everything in front of a ballroom full of people.
And somehow, you walked away stronger.
I finally understand why.
You were never strong because of money.
You were strong because you didn't become cruel after being hurt.
I folded the letter.
I didn't know if I would ever forgive Selena completely.
Maybe forgiveness wasn't a single moment.
Maybe it was a decision you made again and again.
I wrote back.
Not as a friend.
Not as someone who trusted her.
But as a person who believed people could change.
May you like
I hope you become someone you can respect.
That was all.
