Chapter 31

"So your telling me that you were told that we knocked you out so we could run away, which in turn you lost your memory and you were lied to by Ms. Nife about the whole thing, leading to you finding us...and now here we are." I was trying recap all that he has told me in the past few minutes we were together. "Well that was a long way of saying I lost my memory and had been lied, but yeah, also what was your name again?" Of course, he forgot my name, might as well introduce myself, to my own dad, sounds weird coming out of my mouth, but oh well. "My name is Victoria Zitro, your daughter, back at the hotel I was with mom and Isabella, my girlfriend, we.." he interrupted me after I brought up Isabella as my girlfriend "Wait...did u say girlfriend?.. wow.. how much you have grown.." "yeah, I have a girlfriend...and if you do anything to hurt her!!" he cut me off, backing up with his hands up like he was held at gunpoint, "No!! I wouldn't dream of hurting you or anyone, I promise!!!"

"Good", I went on to tell him about all that he had done and what he put me and mom through, he was in disbelief, he sat down for a minute to process all he had been given and then stood back up to hug me. Initially, I wanted to push him away, but this hug was genuine, so I hugged back, it only lasted seconds before he started walking towards a door, I followed close behind. It turns out we were in the basement of the hotel, what was it with him and basements? "What is it with you and trapping people in basements?" "I'm sorry..?" I forgot, that was before the whole memory loss thing, "uh..nothing...never mind"

We went up some stairs till we reach the floor our room was on, the 3rd floor, and walked up to the door. He was going to knock, but was hesitant and backed away, so I decided to knock on the door, he was surprised, "..Can't we wait to do this..? What if things go wrong..? What if..", "Stop worrying, if you truly changed, and I believe you have, then they will believe you." The door opened and Isabella was there, she had an overjoyed look on her face and ran to hug me, she then noticed him, her head turned back to face me and she pulled me into the room and closed the door behind me, "What is HE doing here?!", "Look, I know this seems weird of me to say, but he changed, well kind of, you see..." I then went on the explain the whole story and she wasn't buying it at first, but I then opened the door and she was met with a scared expression, she knew I was telling the truth. Though, the toughest part of all of this, was getting him to see mom...or getting mom to understand the situation without her freaking out..
