Chapter 14
Victoria eventually changed.
From a distance.
She stopped working with Preston.
Built her own charity network.
No Caradonna name.
No engagement revival.
Years later she requested one conversation with me.
I agreed.
She said:
“I thought loving you meant securing my place.”
I listened.
“Then Elena appeared.”
“She was already there.”
Victoria nodded.
“That was what I couldn’t accept.”
Better.
Then:
“I tried to make reality match the future I wanted.”
There.

No excuse.
Just truth.
