Because of her hangover, Victoria and Conrad spent most of the morning in bed. To both of their amazement, they had been enjoying each other's company and learning more about one another.

"Who is your favorite staff member?" Victoria asked.

"The company or the house?"

"Either one."

Conrad thought about it for a while.

"Martha."

"Martha? Why. I didn't think you noticed her at all."

"Oh I don't. I'm not sure I could pick her out but I know she's been good to you. That time you tripped over Charlotte's toys she was the one who found you. She saved your life."

"I can't believe you remember that." Victoria said, although in all fairness she just had a bump on her head. It was hardly as if her life was at stake.

"Why do you push me away so much?" Conrad asked. Their questions had been neutral and he knew that he was pushing it by digging deep but he needed to know.

"Self preservation. I don't want to risk getting hurt." She said flatly. She wasn't happy about it, but it was the truth.

"Why did you choose Lydia to cheat on me with?" Victoria asked. If he was going to ask uncomfortable questions she was sure to return the favor.

"I wanted your attention. If I had your attention I doubt I would have cheated."

Victoria rolled her eyes.

"That's a cheap answer. I asked for an honest answer."

"What do you want me to say, Victoria? That I wanted to hurt you? Fine, maybe I did. I was angry. It was one thing for you to sleep with David Clarke but to fall in love with him?! Yeah I was angry and I wanted to hurt you."

"I didn't set out to. Perhaps if you had paid more attention to me I wouldn't have cheated." She said, knowing it would drive him insane.

"Did you sleep with Frank?"

"Frank?!" She shrieked, outraged by the notion. "No, Conrad I did not sleep with you obsessive watchdog."

"But you slept with Jason." His words fell flat. He already knew the truth.

"Yes. I did."

"Of all the people you had to choose Jason Prosser?"

"Damn right I did. I did it to save our son. I needed Jason to commit to Stonehaven. He assumed that I was sealing the deal on my commitment to him. I would have slept with Helen Crowley if I thought it would keep our children safe."

"Did you care for him? Did you like it? How many times did you sleep with him?" Conrad said, still unconvinced by her answers.

"I thought we were taking turns?" She asked, desperate to end this line of questioning.

"Answer the damn questions!" Conrad yelled.

"My God. I slept with him one time. No, I do not care for him. And it was terrible. His tongue was like a sword stabbing the inside of my mouth. He was only concerned about his pleasure and he narrated the entire ordeal. I did not enjoy it." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh." Conrad had been so overcome with jealousy that he hadn't considered the fact that she truly sacrificed herself to save their son.

"Why did you sleep with Ashley? Didn't you care that she was Daniel's girlfriend? Did you care for her? Did you like it?"

"Ashley was a mistake. I didn't care for her. I felt guilty about what I did to Daniel and yet I did it anyway. It was a mistake, Victoria." He said. Of all of his actions, Ashley was one of his biggest regrets.

"But you liked it," Victoria said, fully aware of the unanswered question.

"Victoria-"

"Get the hell of out my room."

Conrad wanted to convince her to stay, but knew that without her being able to walk away she needed space. As he walked out, he cursed himself for agitating her but when he heard the muffled cries from behind her bedroom door, he cursed himself for so much more.
