POV of David Haden

After the trial, I was sent to a maximum-security prison. I have been up for parole 5 times but after the parole board learned I'd raped the daughter of an NYPD sergeant twice, I was denied parole. Honestly, I don't want to be out there where people will recognize me as a rapist. I've been thinking a lot over the years about Susan and Olivia. I know they both must still hate me for what I did to Susan. Sometimes, Susan corresponds with me. In her letters, Susan says even though she's studying Pre-Law at Harvard, she still remembers what I did to her. Susan also says she forgives me for hurting her and her mom. I cry when I read her letters over and over. I ask God every day to forgive me. One day about 13 years later, I get a letter from Olivia saying that Susan is now an ADA for SVU and is expecting a little girl. I now know they have both worked through what I did to both of them. I can actually die happy knowing that.
