Chapter 4: The Choice

Her father offered to destroy what little remained.

"One word," he said.

"And he'll never recover."

She looked through the ballroom windows as the morning sun began to rise.

For a long moment, she said nothing.

Finally, she smiled.

"No."

Her father looked surprised.

"He already destroyed himself."

"I don't need revenge."

"I need peace."

She walked toward the exit without looking back.

Every step felt lighter than the last.

For years she had questioned her own worth because of people who never deserved a place in her life.

That night reminded her of something far more valuable.

Respect can never be demanded.

It can only be earned.
