Chapter 83

"We're family—there's no need for thanks."

Stein sat down beside her, his presence reassuring.

"I bought this place, you know. It's yours whenever you need it.”

Victoria's eyes shimmered with tears.

"Stein-" she whispered.

He reached out, ruffling her hair with gentle affection, the way you'd comfort a child.

After a moment of silence, he made up his mind to tell her the truth.

"When you were taken, McNeil showed up. He wanted to take you away, but I wouldn't let him."

The tears faded from Victoria's eyes, replaced by a cold, distant look.

Stein sighed inwardly. Matters of the heart were never simple.

He still remembered the way Victoria had once been determined-almost desperate to marry McNeil, no matter what anyone said. And over the years, everyone close to the family knew just how much she'd endured.

It didn't help that McNeil's name was constantly tangled up in tabloid rumors with other women. The gossip columns made sure there was no ignoring it.

"I'm not going back to the Langford family," Victoria said quietly.

She couldn't forget how, after Violet's return, McNeil had grown cold, indifferent- how he'd blamed her for things she never did, for no reason at all.
