Elena's POV
"Why?" Victoria finally asked. "Why are you so committed to this? Even now. Even when we've lost."
I looked at her. Really looked at her. "Stopping now signifies that three years of my life were meaningless." "It signifies that all I sacrificed, all I relinquished, was in vain."
"It was something." Nicholas admitted. He acknowledged his actions. "Is that not sufficient?"
"Negative." The word emerged powerfully. Challenging. "It isn't sufficient." Since he'll begin his journey of redemption tomorrow. He will compose a book. Conduct interviews. Discuss how he acquired knowledge and developed. In five years, he will become a motivational speaker instructing other men on how to avoid being abusers. He will benefit from his own offenses.
"You are unaware of that."
"Do I not?"
