Chapter 10
.
Virginia and Wesley walked out the front door, Wesley was still a bit confused.
.
Wesley: Your father, he used his last words to ask for your forgiveness. Why exactly did you believe he was still planning to sacrifice you?
Virginia: His history, and I wasn't about to take chances with my sibling's life.
Wesley: So this wasn't about revenge, or inheriting his money?
Virginia: I never said I was taking a vow of poverty.
Wesley: Ans what exactly do you plan to do with Janet and her baby?
Virginia: If my father didn't specifically set aside provisions for them in his will, I will offer her a million dollar settlement, that should be enough to give this child a good life.
Wesley: Do you even know why you did this. Because I can't figure out your motives.
Virginia: Protecting my little brother or sister, revenge, greed. Those three motives aren't mutually exclusive.
Wesley: You did have a good teacher on that front. A father who kept you imprisoned for your entire life and had no intention of letting you live long enough to repeat his mistakes. But he lived long enough to realize he was an old man about to die alone. Perhaps it was poetic justice he knew he was being murdered by his own child.
Virginia: That's why I don't want to have children. Maybe I'm not a good person, but I won't continue this legacy continue for generations.
Wesley: I like to think you can do better.
Virginia: What did you have in mind?
Wesley: Give your money away to charity. Live with me, we can leave this city,leave the country even. Start a new life elsewhere.
Virginia: I like this city, and I'm not strong enough to be poor.
Wesley: Than I don't think I can be with you.
Virginia: Sure you can. You can still be a demon hunter, help save people, and then come home to my bed.
Wesley: That is tempting on so many levels. But I can't do that.
Virginia: So you're giving me an ultimatum, you or the money.
Wesley: I wouldn't put it that way, but it is accurate.
.
Wesley wasn't sure what Virginia would do, maybe she wasn't sure either. She kissed Wesley, he hoped this meant she was choosing him. But it seemed she just wanted one last kiss. When it was over Virginia just said "Goodbye Wesley" and walked back into her mansion.
