AN: I do apologize for how long it took me to get this out. I also apologize for any errors, I'm not perfect only human! Enjoy :)


When Emily woke up that morning a great sadness came over her as she saw the other side of the bed empty, with only the lingering scent of Victoria's perfume lingering in the air and she was upset with herself for feeling this sadness.

Throughout the morning last nights memories would not leave her mind. When she took a shower the scalding water was not enough to make her forget the way Victoria's hair fanned around her face as the moonlight hit her naked body. That night Emily found Victoria to be the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

She even found herself re-watching the video of last night, the first time she had stopped after they had both fallen asleep but this time she continued just to admire Victoria sleeping. The graceful way her body moved when she breathed and when a light breeze came in the way her hair blew.

Thinking that she would make herself a bowl of cereal as she imagined that she would find herself spending the rest of the day watching the video until Victoria had left but just as she was about to get up she noticed a movement on the screen.

Emily had rolled over and drew her arm across Victoria's sleeping body and adjusted her body till there was no space between her and Victoria.

Victoria's eyes fluttered open before she slightly turned her head to stare at Emily and then place her arm on top of Emily's. This sent a surge to Emily's heart and it swelled with love, a love Emily had never felt for anyone since her father, a love more powerful than the one she felt for Jack.

This sudden emotion was too much for Emily and she collapsed into tears.

Unfortunately for her Nolan had chosen this moment to walk in, "Ems whats wrong?" he asked rushing over to her.

"Nothing," Emily replied in the most stable voice she could muster, "I have work for you to do."

"Ah please tell me what bidding I must do for my master revenger today," Nolan replied.

"I need you to send an anonymous copy of this video to Conrad, by the end of the day." Emily told him.

Nolan took a deep sigh and turned to walk out the house, he wasn't going to disobey Emily when she was like this but that didn't stop him from taking a glance behind him.

His heart broke when he saw Emily curled at the bottom of the stairs crying into her hands. He hated seeing her like this and wanted to know what caused her feel this way and he was going to hurt the person who did this to her.


"Victoria, Victoria, Victoria." Conrad murmured entering her bedroom.

"Well Conrad I can see nobody has ever taught you the art of manners, have you ever heard of knocking?" Victoria replied turning her head away from him so he wouldn't see her puffy eyes.

"I think we have more pressing issues than manners, maybe ones like you sleeping with your dead son's fiancee. I received an anonymous video of the two of you doing unspeakable things, imagine if this press found that! Imagine what that would do to Charlotte , we were so close to losing her Victoria and now you want to send her down that road again." Conrad exclaimed.

"It was a drunken mistake Conrad, and last time I checked you do love to sleep around with everyone but when I do it it's like hell is raining down." Victoria said tightly.

"I'm sure Daniel is looking down at you and hating every piece of your being." Conrad chuckled.

Victoria glared at him before walking past him and down the stairs.

Emily was waiting downstairs holding a pair of Victoria's heels that had been discarded under the bed last night.

She held them out to Victoria awkwardly. "I thought you might want these back." Emily explained.

Victoria's expression softened for a second but then went to her ice-queen glare " You might as well throw them away, I don't want to see anything that reminds me of that night ever again," she responded harshly "Including you." she whispered.

Victoria didn't want to say it but she knew it would save her from a future heartbreak and maybe save Charlotte's life.

Emily's eyes brimmed with tears but she wouldn't let the older woman see her cry so she all but ran out the house and chucked the shoes on the pavement outside the mansion.

Victoria was unnerved by what had happened, did the blonde really have feelings for her? If so would they last? Did she want them to last?

Meanwhile Conrad was smirking as he watched the blonde run out the mansion. Victoria's chased another one away he thought turning away from the window.


Emily ran back inside her house, throwing one of her shoes on the floor and the other at a glass window, not caring that was another mess she would have to clean out.

The tears she had been holding back finally came out and she collapsed onto the couch and cried herself to sleep.

Nolan had come by to see how Emily was doing pleasantly surprised to find her sleeping , he quietly walked over and sat at the bottom of the couch and stretched Emily's legs so that they were in his lap.


The blonde's face had haunted Victoria all afternoon and she had finally done the one thing she told herself she wouldn't do, she went into Daniel's room looking for pictures of Emily. She ended up finding a little box filled with photos of Emily. Every photo that she looked at brought on more emotional pain.

Victoria didn't recall feeling this much love for anyone since David Clarke and because of this she knew that she must tell Emily how she felt. It was her one last chance to be happy.


The blonde soon woke up from her restless sleep. "Nolan? What are you doing here?" she asked him groggily.

"I have something important to tell you, something that has haunted me since I first met you," he told her.
