Come morning, Victoria arrived at Rosalie's home for small talk.
Victoria looked up at the mansion, once again weighing whether she had made the right decision to come.
Until Victoria found a husband, it didn't feel right to walk through Rosalie's home whilst Rosalie remained unaware of what had occurred. It was cruel to do to anyone, and even worse to do to someone who trusted her.
Victoria took a deep breath, gathering what courage she had left, before stepping inside.
'It can all go away,' Victoria thought, not wanting to dwell on her mistakes.
Victoria entered the mansion and followed a maid to the dining chamber. When she stepped inside, she held her breath. The sight of Cole sitting at the table unsettled her at once.
Victoria forced a smile to hide the fact that she felt ambushed.
It was only meant to be her and Rosalie.
