"Your brothers," Leo said, locking eyes with her. "This incident is only going to pull them even closer to you. They already love you and go out of their way to protect you, but after this? That affection will only intensify. Maybe they're acting on instinct, maybe it's guilt, or maybe it's because they genuinely want to protect you....as someone important, someone they've failed before. Or perhaps they see you as a precious treasure they can't afford to lose again. I can't say for certain which one it is..."
Victoria's eyes narrowed, her tone cold and unwavering as she interrupted. "They all have memories of the past life....maybe not the full picture, but enough. That's the only explanation for their sudden kindness and attention. Whether it's genuine or just a game, I don't care. I know exactly why I'm back in this family, and once I find what I'm looking for, I'll burn everything down and walk away like I was never here."
