It didn't surprise Victoria that she woke up alone in Conrad's study. She was touched that he had taken the time to cover her with a blanket. She couldn't help but wonder if that was before or after he had left her.
She made her way towards his room. He sat at the edge of the bed, sipping a glass of brandy. She closed her eyes, bracing herself. She knew he would be in a foul mood.
She entered the room slowly. He looked up, but didn't move.
"Are you alright?" She finally asked, standing in front of him.
The way he rose slowly made her hesitant. She backed up but he followed her, invading her personal space.
"Did you sleep with him?" He asked.
"What?" She said, a laugh starting to build in her throat.
"I know you did. Just admit it."
"Sleep with who?"
"My father! I know, Victoria."
"My God!-"
"Don't lie to me!" He yelled, causing her to jump. She backed away but he followed until she was stuck between Conrad and the wall.
"I got a call today. The lawyers went over my fathers will. Daniel inherited a million dollars. I inherited three million. As did you, with specific instructions for it to remain in an account without my name. I guess he wanted to give you independence. Ironically, Charlotte gets nothing because she chose to rid herself of the Grayson name. Congratulations, you've literally managed to screw your daughter out of the Grayson fortune."
"I never slept with him, Conrad. You're delusional."
"For that much money if he didn't then he wanted to."
"I can't control that, Conrad. All I've ever done is tell Edward the truth instead of kissing his ass like everyone else. I never hid the fact that I hated how many women he was involved with at one time. Why on earth would I want to involve myself in that?"
Her answer seemed to appease him. He took a small step back, but wrapped his arm around the back of her neck, keeping her close.
"The idea of you with anyone else just drives me crazy. I don't-"
"If it drives you so crazy stop creating ridiculous scenarios in your mind. I've been by your side for all of this. I've been understanding of what you're going through. But the accusations you made... I can't do this anymore."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying I'm done." She said, walking out of the room.
Conrad sat on the edge of the bed, letting his fingers run through his hair. He had done terrible things to Victoria in the past, but for the first time, he truly thought he had lost her.
