Slowly and carefully, after avoiding the watchman, she entered the garden. Walking through the wall while avoiding the cameras, she somehow reached the backdoor. Standing in front of the backdoor, Victoria was frozen. After a long time, her stiff body moved. Her hands trembling ever so slightly as she pressed her thumb on the scanner. After scanning her fingerprint, the door made a beep sound. Victoria's heartbeats were increasing as the seconds go by. After making the sound, the door opened. 

Victoria's lips quivered as she bit her lower lip. After taking a deep breath, she went inside. It was dark. The servants and maid had their rooms in the underground behind the parking. The first floor contained a drawing room for guests with a kitchen and washroom. There was also an elevator there. Nothing changed there. Slowly she walked in front of the wall. On the widest wall, there was only was frame and nothing else. The frame was constructed inside the wall and it was simply amazing. On that frame, there would always be their family photo. On the anniversary of their parent's wedding, they would always dress up and take a good family photo. 

She was somewhat scared to look at it because she thought that she may not be there in this frame anymore. However, to her surprise, she was still there. The last photo they took was still there on the frame unscathed. A teardrop fell out of her eyes but she wiped it and looked around. Finally, she walked up the stairs. She still didn't take out her helmet because she knew that she may get caught in the camera. 

There were three large bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The first was Mike's. The second which was the master bedroom was her parents and the last one was hers. On the third floor, there were the study rooms for each one of them with some other rooms like gym, etc. There was also a small cinema for their family. On the terrace, it was decorated beautifully with a sitting area in the middle. In front of that was a swimming pool. The terrace was mostly used for family gatherings, tea parties and etc. Their house was really beautiful and she knew she couldn't thank her family enough for that. 

Victoria carefully entered her room. She didn't want to wake anyone up. After entering the room, she was shocked. Everything was exactly as she left it. Even the bed sheets were the same. The only exception was the things were covered with a white cloth. Still, there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere. It looked like it was cleaned every day. There was also a large photo of her in the middle. She was wearing a white trench coat that reached her inner thighs. Its buttons were closed. They were black and there were four on the right and left sides. She was wearing a black shirt underneath with black skin-tight pants. 

Her waist-length blonde hair was hanging down. Her hair was waving slightly because of the wind. In the background, the sky was pinkish as it was near sunset time. Her Bluish-grey eyes seemed to look at the camera casually. That's the moment captured in the camera. She was still young and reckless at that time. However, this picture was one of her best. Her beauty was speaking for itself. There wasn't even a speck of dust on the frame. Everything was as if there was still someone living here. Victoria looked around for some time. She was quite emotional.

Then she got out and stood before her parent's bedroom. After a long time, very carefully she opened the door making sure it wasn't making any voices. She didn't enter the room but only looked from afar at her parents sleeping. As it was dark, she couldn't see them clearly but it was enough for her. After some time, she closed the door as she didn't want to wake them up. 

Then she went to her brother's bedroom. She listened carefully to make sure he was sleeping as he used to pull all-nighters playing games and etc when she was still there. After making sure there weren't any noises, she slowly opened the door. As her brother used to sleep with a dim lamp open, she could see him better than her parents. Back then, he always had his hair coloured. He had a fancy hairstyle and he was like any other young master from a wealthy family. However, she always knew he wasn't bad from his heart.

Now, his hair colour was natural. It was a goldish brown that was darker than her blonde hair.
