The silence was patronizing Victoria's memory. She turned on the radio to escape the awful thoughts that kept popping in and out of her mind lately. She worked so hard to put all her nightmares behind her. What helped her most was coming to this island. She was grateful that such a place existed. She glanced over her shoulder, Raymond was still sleeping. How is it possible for this man not growing up in luxury to have such smooth skin. He was so gorgeous. His long lashes would make any woman jealous. She wondered how he was going to explain and make him accept her proposal. He did not seem so easy as she thought he would be. But she was ready for the challenge of conquering this man's heart. He must have been tired, she murmured and smiled.
Victoria was not an ordinary woman. She went through many hardships and suffered a lot. She lost her beloved Tom, her husband for 7 years before he was assassinated. It's been 5 years since his death and she was determined to flip the page.
