That Christmas while on the phone with grandma Karen she saw that their big Christmas tree was up. Grandma told her that Shane the boy from the farm next to them came over and put the tree up with the help of other children from the church and school decorated the entire house. She made cookies and hot chocolate for them then sang Christmas songs. Victoria remembered running down those beautiful stairs when they would visit for Christmas when her father was away on business to have cookies, hot chocolate and open her presents from Santa Clause.
After the Christmas break the French authorities found her friend dead . They label her death as a suicide. Victoria had talked to her just moments before she left. she told Victoria about a man by the name of Ahriman something. Victoria recognized the man's name of the millionaire who's her mother is seeing. Why couldn't she have straight religious parents who love each and would quit acting like love sick teens who runs around spreading their legs to have a good time.
Victoria felt like she was the actual adult of a certain part of the family. Right now she was really missing her home in Porky Pine Hallow. She thought my life was so much simpler when I lived with great grandpa Henry, grandpa Thomas, and grandma Karen. She prayed to God to keep her safe and somehow help her to get back home to Porky Pine.
After she was through with her first year of prep school her mother transferred her to another prep school in Rome. This one was even more secured not for people trying to get in but to keep the student from getting out. Her mother told her after this semester she would come and returned home with her. This prep school teaches the girls how to submit to men who becomes their husbands. Victoria knew that friend of hers who died the year before was right. She wondered who her parents had promised her to.
She wondered if he was a young man close to her age or a very much older man. Sometimes her mind would fantacized on him being a young prince charming who she would fall in love at first sight and live happily ever after but her gut feelings kept telling her that the man who she is suppose to be getting married to.isn't that nice young prince charming.
It wasn't very long before both of her parents came to take her home. Luke said that she would be monitored twenty four hours a day until she gets married. Her father also said she was forbidden any outside contact and would be taught in his language especially with her grandparents. The night they arrived back home she cried herself to sleep.
