Episode 2
Nia vexley
*nervously*
I wish we could’ve hosted you better.
Nia vexley
Things have been…
Nia vexley
difficult since Edward passed
Alexa vale
*sipping her tea slowly*
We understand
Alexa vale
Your husband was a good man
Alexa vale
My dominic respect him
Davian vale
He saved Dominic’s life once
Davian vale
That’s not a favor one forgets
Alexa vale
*setting down the cup*
That’s why we’re here
？？？
*spine straightened instinctively*
？？？
*soft fingers clenched slightly over her lap*
Nia vexley
*pale*
To talk about the…
Alexa vale
*leaning forward slightly*
To settle it
？？？
*Her ears buzzed *An offer?
Alexa vale
*voice firm, almost surgical*
Alexa vale
“Marry Dominic.”
Silence
As if the world cracked.
victoria vexley (fl)
*soft, almost a whisper*
victoria vexley (fl)
Wh-What did you say?
Nia vexley
*snapping, shocked*
She’s just nineteen!
Nia vexley
He’s a divorced man—
Nia vexley
and nearly twice her age!
Alexa vale
*smoothly*
He’s also wealthy,
Alexa vale
and disciplined.
Davian vale
Your debts would
Davian vale
disappear overnight
Davian vale
You’d have protection
Nia vexley
*voice breaking*
I won’t sell my daughter
Nia vexley
to repay fevors!
Alexa vale
*smiling thinly*
Then perhaps
Alexa vale
she can watch you rot in debt...
Alexa vale
while the house is auctioned
Alexa vale
and the staff turn thire backs
victoria vexley (fl)
*wide eyes locked onto her mother’s*
For a moment,
she looked like a lost child.
But only for a moment.
VICTORIA’S BEDROOM –
LATER THAT NIGHT
victoria vexley (fl)
*sat by the window*
her favorite stuffed rabbit on her lap.
She hadn’t touched it in years.
Tonight, she clutched it like a lifeline.
Nia vexley
*voice cracked with exhaustion*
Victoria…
Nia vexley
I'll find a way
victoria vexley (fl)
* turned *
her face tear-streaked but calm
victoria vexley (fl)
*quietly*
There is no other way,
victoria vexley (fl)
Mom..
Nia vexley
Baby, he’s a stranger
Nia vexley
A man built on ruin
victoria vexley (fl)
*interrupting softly, eyes steady*
victoria vexley (fl)
I know
victoria vexley (fl)
I know he doesn't love
victoria vexley (fl)
I know he’s cold
victoria vexley (fl)
I know he’s still
victoria vexley (fl)
Haunted by
victoria vexley (fl)
whoever broke him
Nia vexley
*softly, pleading*
You’re so sweet…
Nia vexley
Too gentle for a world like this...
Victoria moved closer, kneeling before her mother and taking her hand.
victoria vexley (fl)
*tears falling down*
Her mother cried then. Not loudly. Just quietly, into her daughter's hair.
