Let Me Stay The Night

Victoria couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She widened her eyes in shock, her face turning as pale as a sheet.

“What did you just say? Say that one more time!”

That was when Brenda realized she had said something she shouldn’t. Not wanting to look like a coward in front of Victoria, she decided to admit to her doings.

“You heard me! I hired someone to set Christina’s studio on fire! Now that her studio is no more, you’ll have to go back to managing your own studio! You’re the heiress of the Lesley family, so why would you give up on your position as a boss and work for someone else? You may not be ashamed of yourself, but I am! Christina had the audacity to show up at my house and threaten me. She thinks she can get away with anything simply because she married into the Hadley family, but I’m no pushover either! Anyway, she is responsible for your relationship with Sebastian, so she deserves to be taught a lesson!”

Victoria had never thought her mother would be the one who set fire to the studio. Her chest tightened with anger, and she found it a little hard to breathe.

“What you did is illegal! Do you know that two people have died in that fire of yours?”

The look on Brenda’s face changed when she heard that, and a sense of panic began to well up within her. “That’s impossible! I told them to clear the place before setting it on fire, and my men were there to keep an eye on things! There’s no way that fire would’ve killed anyone!”

Brenda was panicking so much that her mind was a mess, and she didn’t even know what to say anymore.

As for Victoria, she sank into despair and slumped weakly against the seat. There was a lifeless look in her eyes as she stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Brenda whipped out her phone and dialed a number, but it was no longer in service.

“What should I do, Victoria? I only wanted to teach Christina a lesson! I didn’t mean to get anyone killed!”
