Victoria: It’s fine. Look, no one COULD know it. It’s not something we can spread around. You’ve looked after me in so many ways, been more like family to me than my own father, and I know the wedding seemed as if I were throwing that back in your faces
Victoria: But I didn’t mean it that way
Eoghan: Did something happen while you were under arrest?
Victoria: Maxim’s handling it
Eoghan: Who do we need to fucking kill?
Brennan: Give us a name, Victoria. NOW.
Eoghan: I’m upstate. I can be there in forty minutes
Victoria: There’s no need. I thank you. From the bottom of my heart. You guys are my safe spaces. I know you’ll always have my back, but in this, I needed to be his
Eoghan: Lies!
Victoria: No. It isn’t. If I had his last name, what went down… they wouldn’t have dared. On paper, I was a Vasov. Now, I’m a Lyanov. That comes with protection.
Eoghan: And targets
Brennan: Eoghan!
Eoghan: It’s true, dammit. He has enemies as much as we do
Brennan: Can I just say that I don’t agree with this Veronian bullshit?
Victoria: You’ve been very vocal about not approving lol
Victoria: But I have to dothis
Victoria: I love you guys. There’ll be a wedding at some point in the future. One that serves more of a ceremonial purpose. This was business
Eoghan: I hate that for you
Brennan: Yeah, me too.
Victoria: I don’t. I think I needed it. I already knew the extents he’d go to for me, but now I’m face-to-face with it. The reality isn’t jarring, but it’s welcome
Victoria: I want him. I always have. And now he’s mine
Eoghan: Trust her to be as possessive as we are
Brennan: Lol, yeah. You’re not wrong
Eoghan: “He’s mine.”
Brennan: Such a brat
Victoria: Hey! I am still here, you know?
Brennan: Speaking of
Brennan: Conor wanted me to send you something
*Brennan sends file*
Victoria: What is it?
