Cynthia felt alone when victor left but she knew it was needed, he was giving her time to sort out her thoughts. She looked at her photograph with her mother. She was always so proud of it. She had thought her mother was the best one, she had not even in her dream thought that her mother was the one cheating her father. She could ot even call the emperor his father now.
She closed her eyes again, she didn't want to go back again as she would have to face her mother there and she was yet not prepared for that.
But she knew she had no choice. Since when had she been so pathetic and so weak. She hated herself for being like that.
She stood up and walked to the bathroom to get a strong warm bath, hoping that it would help her in collecting her thoughts. She walked to the tub and started filling it with hot water.
When the warm shower began falling on both of them, Victor immediately unpaused from where he left off a while ago.
