The warmth of the water drew Victoria out of the daze she had fallen into after her captor's revelation regarding the older lady she had approached in her desperate attempt to escape. Could it possibly be true? Could Father have committed such heinous deeds?
Victoria shook her head as she sought to banish those disloyal thoughts. Scrubbing vigorously, almost in an attempt to scrub out the events of the last day, she repeatedly lathered and rinsed before the pink tint of her skin and the growing discomfort reminded her she was taking off at least a layer of skin if not two.
Do you really think you can scrub him off you? Will your virtue return if you scrub yourself raw? Victoria, Victoria, a woman ruined can never recover.
That small voice inside her head reminded her even as she dimly recalled overhearing gossip, as a child, about the scandal surrounding her father's first love. How the earl had grieved for years before being forced to marry for the sake of the Wentworth lineage. 'Ruined' and 'disgraced' were the words they had used to describe the fate of the lady who they never named. Her fate had caused her family to decline and eventually they ceased to be part of respectable society. Victoria wondered, a chill running through her frame, if a similar fate awaited her family. After all, she was the sole child and heir. Although her father had remarried some years back and her stepmother was likely capable of producing children, the last seven years had seen no offspring for the Wentworths.
