Victoria opened her eyes slowly and frowned because of the sunlight that penetrated the window and hit her face

She found herself in the dining room, where she stayed last night before she fell sleep and a blanket was around her

She straightened in her sit slowly from the pain she felt in her back because her sleeping posture

She grabbed the blanket and thought the William put it on her, she turned around her looking for him but he wasn't on the room

She stood up and walked to the kitchen and the living room looking for him and he wasn't there either

She went up the stairs to their room may be he slept again

When she entered the room she saw him in front of the closet and wearing a shirt he just picked from there

"Hay, morning" she said while she was standing next to the door

"Morning" he said with strange sound after he glanced her there

"How is your arm?" she asked and looked at his injured arm

"Good" he answered coldly without looking at her

"You woke up early, you should get more sleep honey" she said with sweet and sleepy voice as she walked in and approached him

"I'm fine, I get to go now. Prepare yourself, you will come with me to Pedro's house, I can't risk letting you here alone after what happened" he said in more gloomy than firmly

Victoria began to feel worry about him, she turned her gaze to the bed and noticed that it was untouched, she got confused

"You slept, didn't you?" she asked him with suspicious accent

"Yeah" he answered without looking at her

"So, why is the bed still untouched since yesterday?" with angry sound this time

William glanced the bed and growled in exasperation "Couldn't sleep" he said to her

"Are you trying to punish yourself by this? Because I'm telling you it won't bring Diana home" she reproved him as she placed her right hand on her waist

William didn't replied and started to look in the closet for something

Victoria expressions softened at him as she knew his burden and how much he scolded himself for what happened, she tried to cool herself and talk to him nicely

 "Honey, I know how you feel and I'm feeling it too. Stop blaming yourself, it's not your fault… you didn't know that would happen" she said soothingly and placed her hand on his back

"It is, It's all my fault. That our only daughter who was taken and you knew that yourself, so stop playing the rule of the goodhearted one, you must be resenting me now" he spoke with growling and anger sound and walked away after he took a jacket from the closet

Victoria felt her blood is boiling in her veins and tuned back to him while taking a deep breath before exploded on him

"Yeah you're right! you the cause for our miserable crisis, if you didn't invent that stupid dangerous thing we won't have to leave Washington from the first place, what is Diana's fault ha? She is suffering because of you William, you brought this to us" she said all that in one breath

She stopped and breathed in and out deeply and no-one talks, she realized how stupid she was to saying that

William smiled at her after she said that "See, that what want. Thank you for saying that" he said that and left the room
