Chapter 4: The Secret Victoria Was Protecting
I confronted Victoria the next morning.
She didn't panic.
She didn't cry.
She simply poured herself coffee.
“You went through my things.”
I stared at her.
“You tortured Emily.”
Victoria laughed softly.
“Tortured?”
She looked offended.
“Daniel, don't be dramatic.”
That sentence destroyed something inside me.
“You tied a woman to a bed.”
“I protected my children.”
“No.”
I stepped closer.
“You protected yourself.”
For the first time, Victoria’s expression changed.
A small crack appeared.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Then she said something that confused me.
“You should ask Emily who she really is.”
I froze.
“What does that mean?”
Victoria smiled.
“Ask her why she never told you about her past.”
