"The Serpent's Teeth"
(A Tom Riddle love story)

Epilogue

My beloved Aileen, I hope that you understand what I wanted to tell you.
Life doesn't always go the way you planned it, and yet it's a good thing.

I hope you forgive your father and me that we had to leave you, that you were not raised in a happy family.

I know that you would have deserved it, and I wished nothing more than that I could have made it happen.
But you don't always have a choice in life.

Your father's legacy is hidden deep inside the castle, at the place where Harry Potter saved Ginny Weasley.
Use it wisely and learn from my story.

I have a favor to ask you my child, take on your father's name.
Don't use the synonym which they gave you at the orphanage.
Be proud of being a Riddle.

I don't know what kind of a person you've become, but I hope the best for you.

Don't hold a grudge, my Aileen.
That will only destroy your life.

I loved you from the moment I learned of your existence, and I'm sure your father loved you as far as he was capable of it.

I wish that you don't unlearn how to be happy and how to love.

History will have raised many questions and not all of them will have an answer.
Nevertheless, I hope you understand now.

With love your mother Hazel.
