7 years.
That was how long they went without seeing each other. Anna Karikova, the daughter of the head of Romanov Family. However, for Viktor, status didn't matter. She was a friend, a lover, and the woman who broke his heart.
The last time they saw each other was in the beautiful garden behind the Romanov Family residence. They have promised to meet each other at the train station. They wished to flee and carve a new life.
But in the end, they never saw each other again.
Now, they meet again at the wrong time and the wrong place.
Viktor's eyes were glued to the woman, but no words came out of his mouth. He could only stare, wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
Meanwhile, Anna was staring at him in silence. Not even a trace of her emotion was visible on her face. All she did was stare.
Anger, relief, longing, and happiness, all intermingled in Viktor's heart like a hot, messy soup of emotions. Alongside the emotions came the questions. What was she doing? Why is she here?
I am sorry if this chapter turns a little too dramatic, This is what I think Viktor's deepest layer of emotion is.
