A Slap to the Face
I'm fine, Grandma.
For years, Don's manipulation had made me believe I was a sinner. The cold treatment from the household staff, Don's blatant favoritism, and everything I had endured felt like the punishment I deserved.
But now, with my grandmother here, I finally understood just how wrong I had been.
I wasn't a sinner—I was someone worthy of love and care. These things, this villa, this life—they were mine to begin with.
With that realization, I looked at my grandmother and asked, "Grandma, can I burn everything in this villa to the ground? Can I rebuild it to look the way Mom loved?"
