Chapter 49"Christine…" Erik muttered.
"Erik…" she said.
"Hello, mother. I was just playing the piano with my new friend," Victor said smiling innocently.
There was just a deafening silence as Erik and Christine stared at each other. It had been nearly six years since they last saw each other. The circumstances were much more different.
"Mother? Are you alright?" Victor asked.
Christine felt that her heart was skipping a few beats every time she looked at Erik.
"Victor, go and play for a moment while I talk to Erik."
"How did you know his name?"
Christine was about to respond but then Erik cut her off. "You mother's right. Go and play and she'll get you when we're done. Just don't wander off too much. I don't want you to get lost again."
"Okay," Victor said walking away.
"Erik…" Christine started.
"I don't want to hear another word from you!" he said doing his best to lower his voice. "How-how could you!"
"Erik. Please let me explain…"
"You lied to me!" he yelled approaching her. "You lied! I gave you my very heart and soul and you deceived me with that insolent fool!"
"Erik, I never meant to…"
"Leave! At once!"
"Erik!"
"I loved you Christine and you broke my heart. We were married don't you remember!"
'Erik. Lower your voice please," she tried to exclaim.
"Enough is enough!" he said walking away.
"Mom?" Victor called out from somewhere distant.
"Coming," she called as she gave one last look at Erik with tears and then ran away to meet with her son hoping that he hadn't heard anything.
