Rewriting My Heart's Fate

"Eve, don't be too hard on yourself. Jack's actions are a result of his own twisted values. They have nothing to do with you or your mother. If she knew how strong you are now, she would be proud of you." Ethan's words were gentle yet assuring, like a ray of sunlight breaking through the clouds, illuminating the darkness in my heart.

I nodded, trying to calm my emotions.

Learning more about the past only deepened my pain; I had never expected to find myself in such a situation.

Yet, some matters could only be approached step by step, just as my thoughts felt increasingly complex at this moment.

"However, there's something I need to discuss with you. I've found that Jack's misdeeds go beyond this one instance, but I'm unsure if you want to hear it," Ethan said.

As I heard what Ethan said, I felt a surge of conflicting emotions: the fear of the unknown mixed with a determination to uncover the truth.

I looked up at him. His gaze was deep and powerful as if assuring me he would stand by my side no matter what lay ahead.

"Ethan, just tell me. No matter how cruel the truth may be, I have the courage to face it." My voice was soft, yet it conveyed an undeniable resolve.

He nodded slightly, a complex expression flashing in his eyes as he considered his words carefully.
