"I hated you for my own reasons. I wished your mother had taken you with her, and when I saw the letters from your grandparents, I almost wanted you to be sent with them until I saw the gifts they sent you. I had bad thoughts about you from a young age," said Kate.
Kate never told her mother all that went on inside her head.
If she had the courage to, would her mother have helped her?
"I wasn't going to be known as the girl who heard voices in her head, so you had to be the cursed one. I really hated you, and part of me still did as of late, but I know that it was wrong of me, and I want to let that hate go," Kate confessed.
Kate found the courage to look Alessandra in the eye and said, "I was wrong for starting the rumour about you being cursed. For acting with my mother to stop the maids from bringing your food, tearing the dresses father handed to you, and hurting you in secret. For what I started with your face."
