Victoria Shelby

Tommy's Will

"What's this?" Victoria asked pointing at a piece of paper.

"It's my will," Tommy replied.

"Let's see then," Victoria said lifting the paper.

"Is this the final copy?" She asked, confused as she read through it.

"Yes, it's just about to be signed off."

"Why does Lizzy get everything? The house, the money... the whole fucking business."

"That's the way I want it."

"But that's what I want. You know it is. I want the business."

"You think you do Victoria but you don't; it's better this way."

"No, it's not. I've worked for this, for you. You can't sign this."

"It's not up to you Victoria."

"What do I get then," she said whilst scanning the page. "A horse. A fucking horse! I work for all these years to be left a horse and money."

"You'll like the horse."

"It doesn't matter if I like it or not, I'm not going to use it. I don't go to the races for them, you know that."

"That's enough now. Things can change, you might get more if I change the will in the future."

"I want the fucking company. I don't care if you split it between us, I want it."

"No, you're not ready for that."

"How do you know what I'm ready for?"

"Because I know what it's like to be in charge, most of the time it's not all it's cracked up to be."

"I've risked everything for you and you can't even repay me." Victoria said saddened. "And what's this about Charlie? How come Lizzie's getting him?"

"She's his step mother it's just how it works."

"No, you're doing this all wrong. How can you trust her more than me?"

"So you want Charlie as well as the company do you?"

Victoria thought for a second, "Yes. Think about Grace, she..."

"This isn't anything to do with Grace," Tommy said, cutting her off.

"I just want you to rethink. I know I'm asking a lot but I at least want shares. Please Tommy."

"Not everything is about you or for you."

Victoria stormed out of the office, she was so angry.
