END OF TALE

The Stridha Mansion

 

Victoria felt like death awaited her, filling her heart with dread. "What have I done to my son, my very butterfly? Would Benjamin even forgive me for this?" She reasoned, "How can I even think of such a thing? The least I need is forgiveness from my son."

 

Muya, her other son, sat next to her, concern etched on his face. "Mom?" he said, pulling her out of her reverie.

Victoria's thoughts had been consumed by her guilt and anxiety, fearing Benjamin's anger and disappointment. Muya tried to offer comfort and support, but Victoria was too caught up in her own thoughts.

"Muya, I was so blind," Victoria said, her voice cracking. "I thought I was protecting Benjamin, but I was only hurting him more."

Muya nodded sympathetically. "We'll get through this, Mom. We'll figure something out."
