Chapter 31 - Part 1

Victoria's POV:

I woke up again at ten o’clock feeling much better. The muscles on my body felt incredibly sore from lifting and moving the boxes. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling for half an hour contemplating the amount of work that I had to do.

“We have to do it.” I corrected myself.

Caleb and I had to work as a team in order for us to finish everything before I had to get back to work. It was not by choice. My mom had successfully guilted me into doing it. After she had told me that I would be working with Caleb, I told her that I could not do it anymore.

She tried pleading with me but I would not budge then she changed her tactics and said that it was what a good daughter would do. It was incredibly manipulative and I knew that she would not go there unless she was desperate. I felt guilty, not because of what she said, but because I had forced her to pull that card. I finally reluctantly gave on.

I asked her if Eric would also be joining us but she didn’t have the answer.
