I walked to the office hoping that the faith will change, but I saw Edward sitting with the lawyer waiting for me. My eyes went to the CEO's chair vacant for the first time. Is he that happy to leave?
That means he was here to take care of everyt...
I got up and said, “I don’t-” before I could speak the lawyer passed me a letter saying, “He told me what you will say, so he asked me to pass this letter… read it then decide..”
I looked at the letter then at Edward, he said, “it’s your father’s last letter for you..” I sat back and opened the letter, it’s his handwriting. I know how he writes, for years he send me letters but I never responded but I read those once.. or twice.
The letter said, “ Hi, Amber.. baby.. this is dad.. I know you don’t like dad now. but dad does love you the same way I use too. You are the most precious gift I got in life. dad made a mistake that day, and you are punishing me, I accept it. I deserve more than this. But my angle, dad is dying, dad knows he won’t make it for long. I know you won’t like to see my face, and I have no guts to ask for forgiveness, I took your mother away from you in my anger, she was the only women I loved. I didn’t knew when I became this monster that I killed the women I love and destroyed my baby angles childhood. So, god is punishing me like this, I am dying slow painful death. I don’t worry about myself, but I have to worry about you or your mother will hate me more if you suffer after I go… I heard you are not in college, wash dished and serve food in restaurants… it hurts to know my daughter is hurt and in pain, and living a hard life. your mom would be in more pain my child. I am leaving all that I have for you, Edward will take care of you, I trust that child, he is a good man. Please baby angle, accept what dad gives you after he leaves, please don’t live a hard life when you have a good one, your mom will be in pain. I hurt her a lot, till she died, but she will be in more pain after seeing her baby angle having a hard life.. Amber, live in the mansion take my money to live happily and without this pain, I want you to be free from it.. I failed you as a father but please think it as your father and mothers last wish and accept what I left behind for you… and if possible forgive your father… love you my dear child.” I didn’t realized I was crying, I pulled the letter away from my face and tears won’t stop.
Edward passed me the water, I rejected it. I looked at the lawyer and said, “do as he wished.. I agree to everything…”
I walked out of the room and went to my room, I sat on the bed clenching the letter to my chest, it hurts, I feel more lonely, I am left all alone in this world, first mom and now dad, I hated him but it hurts so bad after he left. I can’t breathe in this pain.

Edward’s POV:
I stood there as Amber walked out, but it felt like she was barely carrying herself. After her absence, the Lawyer also left.
Yes… I can see her pain…. maybe feel little of it…. just the way she looks at everyone is like she is defensive…. while when she looks at me, it feels like she is searching for comfort…. maybe I am just over thinking… I know everything is not perfect, far from perfect… In fact, it’s miserable, a teen living a lonely hurtful life all alone… makes me want to comfort her, but she will take this as pity…… she will dislike it anyways….
