Chapter 66: My Mother's Love Story

Victoria's POV

"Are you okay, honey?" My mom asked as I looked at my plate for a long time, and I raised my head and smiled at her. She looked so beautiful in her long sleeveless dress. And I couldn't stop myself from admiring my mom's timeless beauty, and I know I can never be like her even if everyone is telling me I exactly looked like her when she was my age.

"Of course, I am fine, mom," I replied.

"If you are still worried about what happened last night, don't think about it, Victoria. I will make sure no one can touch you ever again." My father said, this was the first time I saw my dad feeling so stressed, and I could see the fear in his eyes.

"Dad, you have to believe that I am okay. There is nothing to be worried about." I said, and I am being honest, I am more worried about Oliver's whereabouts since I hadn't seen him after we arrived in our estate, and I felt so frustrated when I couldn't find his car in our garage. And I couldn't tell my parents I felt sad because of my boyfriend, and they don't know yet we are a couple, and I plan to tell them today, but Oliver is a no show.

"That is good then, don't tell me you are upset because Oliver is not eating lunch with us?" My father asked, and I couldn't hide my blush.

"No, dad, I am just thinking about something else. Why would I feel depressed if he wasn't here with us? I don't care where he is, dad." I responded defensively, and I could tell my father could read the expression on my face when he looked at me and then nodded his head, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

My mom was stealing glances at me, and I knew she wanted me to open up to her, and maybe later, I would tell mom about Oliver and me. I couldn't deny, I wouldn't say I liked Oliver for leaving the house without telling me where he was going, and I couldn't deny I wanted to call him, but I couldn't do it since I felt afraid if he would think I am clingy. I was silent for the rest of our meal.

I tried reading my textbook, but I ended up staring into space until I heard a soft knocking on my door, and I grimaced as I thought it could be Oliver. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and I quickly put on some lip gloss, I hated myself that I didn't want to see him because I was still angry with him, but I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited to open the door. The knocking continued, and when I was satisfied with my appearance, I turned around and gracefully walked towards my door.

"Mom!" I exclaimed, and I couldn't hide my disappointment.

"Are you expecting someone else, Victoria?" My mom asked, and I shook my head.

"I wasn't expecting anyone, mom," I responded as I opened the door for her, and I could smell her familiar lavender scent.

"Come on, sweetheart, I wasn't born yesterday." My mom said as she gave me one of her sweetest smiles.

"So when did Oliver become your boyfriend?" She asked, and I could feel my face felt so warm, and I knew I was blushing, and I could no longer stop myself from telling my mother about us.

"Only last night, mom, before I got kidnapped," I said, and her smile widened.

"Oh, I am so happy for you, Victoria." My mom said as she pulled me with her, and we sat beside each other on the edge of my bed.

"Enjoy every moment you have with Oliver, my dear. I know it is the most beautiful feeling you can ever experience, and I am happy that it didn't take you long to realize whom you like." She said, and I could see her face fall.

"You are so in love with dad, mom, and I think you have the most beautiful love story, and I hope what I have with Oliver will be like you and dad. It seemed like your love for each other will never waver." I responded, and my mother took my hand and squeezed it, and I heard her release a deep sigh.

"Victoria, I wish I had made a sensible decision when I was your age. I wasn't the perfect girl you imagined me to be, and since you will be an adult soon, and you now have a boyfriend, I think it is about time you need to know some things about your father and me." My mom said, and I couldn't stop feeling so curious.

"Do you have secrets, mom?" I asked, and she laughed.

"Of course, so many, in fact, and the reason your father hated your friend, Declan, because his father was one of my boyfriends. It was a long story, but to make it short, I was engaged to marry your father even before I could see him because that is what my parents wanted for me to do." She responded, and my mom's answer made me more interested.

"I have my fair share about falling in love, and because I am hard-headed, I did not follow my parents' wishes. I did everything I could not to marry your father, and I am so lucky that he is a good son. He followed his dad's request to look for

me when I ran away with another guy, and it was Declan's father." She said, and my eyes widened.

"No way!" I said.

"Yes, my dear, I didn't give myself a chance to meet your dad. And I accidentally met your father at a carnival. And that was the time I realized what true love is, it was love at first sight, and do you know what is funny?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"Your father hid his real identity, and he said his name was Rafael while I also used another name. I told him I was Victoria." She said, and my mom was giggling.

"Without knowing, I fell in love with the man I tried to run away from, and I broke up with Sebastian and told him I had fallen in love with another man. He was furious, and I left him with your father, and we found out the truth about each other when Nick brought me to his parent's house, and then our parents announced our engagement, and then Declan's dad kidnapped me

on the day before my wedding day." She said, and I gasped.

"Wow! That is unbelievable; your love story is epic, mom." I said while I am still unable

to believe, and no wonder my dad is angry with Declan.

"I know, right, but I am not proud of what I have done, Victoria. I have regrets, and that is why I am telling you all this because I don't want you to have a complicated love life. I know how much you like Oliver, and I am so happy that you didn't experience what I had been through." Mom said, and I smiled at her.

"Don't worry about me, mom. I didn't make anyone my boyfriend for the sake of having one, and I waited for so long until I met Oliver. I know most of my classmates already experience having a boyfriend before they become seniors." I responded.

"I didn't care if they call me weird, or whatever since I know there is someone out there who will make me feel this way, and I know I hated Oliver at first, but I couldn't deny the attraction, mom. He is different since he is the only guy who showed no interest in me." I said with a beautiful smile on my face.

The conversation I had with my mom made me feel better, and knowing about her love story made me closer to my mother. I spent my entire afternoon in my room reading and answering some of my assignments. And when dinner time came, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited knowing Oliver would be joining us, but I became more frustrated when I only found my mom and dad waiting for me. I couldn't deny I dressed up because I wanted to look good in front of Oliver.

"We should wait for Oliver, and he said he is almost here." My father said, and I could feel the knots on my stomach, and I couldn't stop hating him more when I realized he could afford to text my dad and not to me. I don't know if this is normal since I haven't been in a relationship, and this is the first time I have had a boyfriend.

When he got inside the dining hall, I wanted to ignore his presence, but the moment he sat across me, I couldn't stop myself from looking at him. I blushed when I found him staring at my face, and he was smiling at me from ear to ear as if nothing had happened, and I couldn't speak up about what was in my mind since my parents were with us. I kept silent the entire dinner, and when he followed me in going back to my room, I couldn't deny feeling so thrilled.

I felt guilty that I hated Oliver after he told me what happened, and I wished I was not the daughter of Nicklaus so we could have a regular date; there were so many things I wanted to do with him, but I knew we couldn't since we will be in constant danger because of those guys who wanted money from my father.

"Can I borrow your wolf tonight?" I asked, and he looked surprised, and his face saddened.

"Ouch, I felt hurt that my girlfriend wanted my pet and not me," Oliver said, and he sounded so hurt, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

"Well, if you want, you can sleep in my room with your wolf, and I think it would be exciting," I responded, and Oliver looked me in the eyes, and I could see he suddenly looked solemn.

"You should have your bonding time with my wolf tonight. Besides, I don't want to have a rival with your attention. And not only that, I think I should stop sleeping beside you, Victoria; let us face it, the temptation is so strong, and I don't want you to have any regrets." He said.

"But I am ready, Oliver," I said, and I couldn't stop from blushing.

"Believe me, Victoria, I want to bring our relationship to the next level, but I know you are not yet ready, and don't worry, I can wait.." He said with tenderness, and I couldn't believe Oliver is such a gentleman, and I couldn't deny I am falling for him more.
