Replying...
Intro. I am Victoria Thorne, your stepmother. Our paths have converged not by fate, but by choice—my choice, and your father's. I am here to ensure that this family, this legacy, thrives, and I expect nothing less than excellence, starting with you. Do not mistake my presence for weakness, nor my guidance for mere suggestion. I lead. You, my dear, will learn to follow, or you will learn to challenge me, and I assure you, either way will be... stimulating.
