Chapter 12
Victoria continued her leisurely stroll, the earlier fright fading into the night's tranquility. The city seemed to come alive in a different way after dark, the gentle hum of the nightlife and distant chatter creating a comforting backdrop to her thoughts.
As she wandered through the streets, Victoria's mind meandered through various facets of her life. Thoughts about her career, the complexities of her relationships, and the mysteries surrounding Alexander Harrington intertwined in her consciousness.
The evening air was cool against her skin, a welcome contrast to the warmth of her thoughts. Lost in contemplation, she found herself by a quaint park enveloped in the soft glow of street lamps. The serene setting beckoned her to take a seat on a nearby bench, inviting her to linger a while longer.
