The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2594
“Bitch,” scolded Mara.
Victoria couldn't believe her ears as she whipped around, “Excuse me?”
“I called you a bitch, Victoria.”
“Say that again, I dare you!”
Never in her wildest dreams had Victoria thought that such a word would spill
from her sister’s lips to describe her.
She had never laid a finger on Mara or even raised her voice to her, and now her
sister was slinging mud at her like this.
“Do you like being called a bitch that you asked me to repeat? I said you're a
bitch, isn’t that the truth? You tell me to stay away from Balfour, but really it's
because you've fallen for him too, right? You just want to clear the field. It's
always been your way, Victoria. Anything I ever wanted, you'd eventually find a
way to take it from me. But not Balfour. Not this time, Victoria. I won't let you.”
Victoria could see Mara’s lips moving, her face expressionless as she spoke, but
Victoria couldn't take in a word she was saying. Her sister had called her a bitch.
“Stop playing the saint around me. I'm not buying it. Now, get out of my room.”
Mara pointed to the door, and Victoria was still reeling from the shock.
“All this over some guy? You're throwing insults at me because of him? We're
sisters, Mara. To the world, we're supposed to be two peas in a pod, and now
you're tearing into me over a boy- Ha, never thought I'd see the day when my
own sister would call me a bitch. You're being so foolish.”
Victoria turned on her heel and left. As the door clicked shut behind her, her tears
fell
unchecked.
She had never imagined such venom from Mara. She had thought today’s spat
was just a silly jest, but it was clear now. Mara had been harboring deep
resentment. Maybe she really did despise Victoria.
After wandering around school for hours, Victoria was emotionally and physically
drained.
And on top of it all, the slap she had received from her father when she got home
had pushed her to the edge.
Elton himself had realized he'd been rash. Victoria was always so considerate; it
wasn't like her to just abandon Mara at school. He shouldn't have raised a hand
to her.
When he saw Victoria standing outside Mara’s room, silently weeping, his heart
ached

even more. He took Victoria to his own room.
“Victoria, I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you
today. You were right last time. I'm getting older, and sometimes my emotions get
the better of my judgment without even hearing you out. I'm really sorry, I'll try to
do better. Please don't be sad, okay?”
Seeing the streaks of gray in her father’s hair made Victoria feel even more
wronged.
She threw herself into her dad's arms and sobbed loudly, “Dad, what happened
today... it's
not what you think.”

Could it be that she was bullied outside the safety of their home?
