Chapter 9: Sophia’s Painful Memory
Alexander realized Sophia had suffered more than he knew.
She remembered waiting for him.
Watching other children receive birthday gifts.
Wondering why her father never came.
One night she asked:
“Daddy... did you forget me?”
Alexander cried.
“No, sweetheart.”
“I was lied to.”
Sophia looked at him.
May you like
“But you believe them.”
That sentence hurt more than anything.
