Chapter 18 / 20
Chapter 18 - WHAT VICTOR COULD NEVER BUY Victor had money.
He had once had influence.
He had controlled rooms simply by entering them.
But none of that could buy back Ethan's first year.
None could restore Isabella's stolen years.
None could erase Lily's bruises.
So Victor stopped trying to buy forgiveness.
He began earning trust instead.
One day he asked Lily:
“Do you hate me?”
She thought.
“No.”
“Do you forgive me?”
She shook her head.
“I don't think forgiveness works like a switch.”
Victor nodded.
“What do you think it is?”
“Something people earn when they stop demanding it.”
He smiled.
“That sounds fair.”

That was how she knew he had changed.
