Chapter 64 The Small Win That Changed Everything...

Back in the Tate Estate, Eros enjoyed a cup of tea on the balcony as he enjoyed the morning sunrise.

This was a habit that he had developed over the years in his former life as a professor of Psychology.

For him, morning coffee was always the best.

however, there was no such opportunity to get coffee in this world, and he could not settle for wine or booze in the morning. He had no choice but to transfer his love of coffee to tea.

As the warm ray of such shine stained his skin, the warm liquid also stained his throat.

The mixture of both, was divinely satisfying.

Down below, he could see the Pirate women working. It had been two days since Eros came back with them.

Apart from killing the intruders in his home, he had to refurbish the entire place.

Just then, Dan walked over to the balcony too.

He also had a cup of tea in his hands.

"Granddad, do you think what you did by sending those heads will anger Baron Bolos!?"

Eros gave a slight smile, his eyes still on the work being done below to clear out the Manor, "definitely! It will definitely piss him off."

Dan's eyes widened up a bit, "But doesn't that mean that Penny will..."

"Don't worry about Penny sport! Baron Bolos would not dare do anything to her. He plans on gifting her to the Viscount for his upcoming birthday. Over the past few years, he has fallen a bit short on the graces of the Viscount even though he formerly used to be his favorite. He Plans to be on the Viscount's good graces. He would not allow even a hair on her head come to harm. In fact, Penny might be living her best life yet!"

Dan turned to his grand father, "are you sure?" his intonation was low, and even though Eros had reassured him, one could still hear the worry at the base of his voice.

"Of course I am!" Eros patted his head.

Just then, there was the sound of dishes falling to the ground.

Dan's ears were not sharp enough to capture them. Then again, it was not near, but Eros had his body continually baptized by Celestial Energy.

His senses were top notch.

After the falling of dishes, he could hear panting, and then low groaning moans of pain, and even low sobs after.

"Hmmm!" he turned around, "excuse me sport. something needs my attention."

Following the sound he had heard, he walked across the hallway to a particular room at the end of the passage.

He stopped at the door. It was partially opened.

Through the not-so-large gap, he could see inside the room.

The sight of what he saw made him sigh.

After all, he had almost forgotten about her.

It was Victoria. She was the same person he had saved from the Black Islands. At the time, she had her legs crushed by a boulder, effectively crippling her for life.

Eros had brought her because of her tenacity for life.

Later, he had heard her story from Commander half bra, and how she was betrayed by her own brother.

It was a really sad story and now, she had no one in the world, and also had no one to turn to.

At the moment, she was heavily bandaged for most of her body, especially her legs.

She had been trying to reach a side table that had some food and drinks from her bed.

However, the difficulty of reaching lay in the pain she felt in her body and the fact that her glasses had been damaged badly from her time in the Black islands.

She ended up falling by the side of the bed, and the contents of the table also fell. Of course some of it was on her.

Tears fell from her eyes, and she sobbed at her predicament.

Eros thought it was pitiful sight.

And it was indeed.

He watched for a while, but then all she did was sob.

He sighed at this, and just when he was about to walk away, he saw something that surprised him.

Regardless of her fall and the pain she felt, she suddenly pulled herself forward.

On her tear-stained face, he could see the pain and hate morphed into a determined look to reach the plate of food that had half its content on the ground.

Again and again, she pulled herself with her hands.

From her struggle, he could see as some of the bandages on her body got stained with blood from her injuries that had not healed properly.

Yet, Eros did not step in to help.

This was one battle that no one could help her with.

This was one struggle she had to do on her own.

Pull by pull, she struggled until she finally made it.

She smiled cheerfully as she dug her fingers in the bowl and enjoyed the meal.

Even though half of it had spilt on the ground or the fact that it was just a plate of food, it was for her, a win.

*CLAP!*CLAP!*CLAP!*

Eros clapped continually as he entered the room.

"Incredible performance. Absolutely incredible!!!"

Victoria immediately turned. She was surprised to see who it was.

"If you had given up here, I would have also given up on you. One only deserves help when giving up is not an option. Failure is not the problem. It's giving up that really pisses me off."

Eros had a bright smile on his face.

He stretched his hand, "What one would do with the little that he has, is the same as he will do with much. Victoria, join my house!" Eros said this with a confident look on his face.

However, all he got in return was a face that morphed from deep red blush to an out right scream.

She threw the plate of food at him.

"GET OUT!!!"

It was only now that Eros remembered that although a good part of her body was bandaged, she had been crawling on the ground butt naked...
