Cassidy,
At first, I was doubtful to write this letter because I don't know if you will read this or just put it in the trash, but I'm taking the risk anyway. I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you and I'll understand if you won't ever forgive, but at least let me say just how immensely sorry I am for hurting you and for making your life miserable.
Today, my doctor said that the cancer cells are spreading and it would take a miracle for me to survive. I found out that I have cancer a year ago. I was a wreck, I didn't know how to take it then. I had money and I could make anything happen with a snap of my fingers, but why? Why can't my money be enough to cure this disease? I journeyed to different countries for treatment but nothing happened. And now, I've already accepted my fate. If this is bound to happen then so be it. I heard your voice in my head calling me a monster. And you're right. I need not deny that.
I was't a husband to my wife and a father to you. I ruined your life because I was blinded by revenge. I hated your father because he was my greatest opponent in everything. He used to be my friend but envy clouded my vision. So, when he died I decided to make a move. I married your mother so I can experience everything his previous life has to offer. The luxury, the company, his family, everything. I know you hate me but please let me tell you this. I loved your mother, too. I loved her as jf she was the greatest thing in the world. But she died too. And I was left empty. You reminded me of your father so I took all my anger and frustration out on you. I'm sorry, my dear. For everything. And I really mean this. If you're reading this now, then it means that I've already passed away. Now, I am giving back what's rightfully yours. The company, the house, your mom's properties in different provinces. And oh, before I forget. My deepest apologies for selling you to Aaron. He didn't want to buy you at first because he loved you too much to do that. He said he won't do it because it just wasn't right. But I needed money that time so I told him that if he won't buy you then I'm sure other businessmen will. And so he was forced to do it.
I've always been a villain all my life, but in reality? I'm just a sick, greedy cancer patient. I hope you could forgive me, Cassidy. I know it's hard, but I hope you will.
I closed my stepdad's letter. Ilang beses ko na itong paulit-ulit na binasa at iniyakan. A lawyer gave this to me a month ago, and I was shocked when I first read it. Back then, I didn't know what to feel. But now I can feel the weight lifting. Hindi na ako naiiyak ngayon nang binasa ko ito.
Sinindihan ko ang kandila at itinirik ito sa puntod niya. Bago ko siya pinuntahan ay dinalaw ko rin muna ang puntod ni Mom at Dad.
I stared at Alvido's tombstone and gave it a small smile. "I forgive you," mahinang bulong ko na dinala ng hangin.
"Ma'am! Ma'am, halina po kayo at male-late na tayo sa kasal ninyo!" sigaw ng driver ng puting limousine.
I gave Alvido one last look before heading back inside the bridal car.
