Tori’s hand brushed Darien’s back as she walked behind him, leaning up against the bar next to him. “Darling, would you make me a Bloody Mary? No one makes them like you do, and my head is absolutely splitting.”

Tori had been sitting in the cafe reading for a few hours by the time her sister walked in. It wasn’t a part of town she usually spent time in, and perhaps a part of her knew she’d likely run into her sister there. She looked up from her book, pursing her lips gently as Lissa sat at the table text to her, unaware of her presence. She cleared her throat gently, closing the book and smiled. “Why, sister, fancy seeing you here.”

“You’re not going to poison it, are you?” she asked her sister before sitting down at the bar.

“Sister, that would be too easy.”

Lissa pursed her lips and nodded. “That you do, Victoria,” she said. “Actually, no I did not come to see him and if I did it wouldn’t be of your concern anyway. I was looking for Charles.”

“Well, you’re out of luck, he’s not here. But stay awhile. Have a drink.”

“I can spend my time wherever I want. I don’t really need or want to explain myself.”

“Fine. Don’t explain yourself. Have another drink.”

She’s obviously in one of her moods which Nathan isn’t really in the mood to deal with. But, he’ll have to deal with it, anyway. He took the drink that she had pushed towards him and took a sip before letting out a breath. “And just what is that supposed to mean?”

“Oh, darling. Please don’t act like I don’t have eyes everywhere. You seem to be spending quite a bit of time over at the White.”

The clicking of Lissa’s heels stopped when she heard her sister’s voice say her name. “Victoria,” she said in a sickeningly sweet tone. Lissa turned to face her. “It’s a public place I don’t need your permission. And I don’t need to justify myself to you.”

“Cute, but I’m pretty sure that there’s a right to refuse service to anyone.” She rolled her eyes. “Come to see Nathan? Or have you found some new way to butt your way into my life.”

Tori is already waiting at the bar for him when he walks in, drink in hand and another placed in front of her, clearly intended for him. “Well, I was starting to think you’d forgotten which club was yours.” She pushed the drink toward him with a raised eyebrow.

It was as if Victoria could feel her sister’s presence from a block away. For five minutes she’d stood tense, leaned against the bar, before finally the unmistakable blonde floated through the door of The Red Queen. “Lissa,” Tori breathed out. To her credit, she seemed a lot more calm than she felt. “I can’t imagine a scenario in which you could possibly think you were welcome here.”

Victoria Heart || Thirty Years Old || Club Owner || Bedeviled

“Off with your head.”

↳ Biography:

Better known as “The Queen of Hearts”, all ways are Victoria Heart’s ways. One of the most dangerous and unpredictable personalities in New York City, she has became a famous mob boss and madam in the downtown area, all in an effort to rival her sister Vasilisa Heart. Originating from London, the Heart sisters are rumoured to have royal blood running through their veins though their parents are simply upper-middle class socialites. Gaining their fortune through department stores the Heart family bought shares in Harvey Nichols when the store was still young which has since gained them a large home in Moor Park with two swimming pools, a Porsche each for their daughters, a Lamborghini and a family Rolls amongst other cars. Victoria wanted for nothing as a child and grew up the more polite and spritely of the girls. Victoria was head girl, a prefect and had multiple school functions to her name, yet her younger sister was aways seemingly preferred.

Victoria and her sister tried to not let the world’s favouritism get in the way of their friendship and with a little bit of ignorance and Lissa’s kindness the two remained close. Leaving college with almost perfect results Victoria was glad to join Imperial College in London and be introduced to a new group of people who didn’t compare her to Vasilisa. Victoria flourished at university, joining and leading multiple societies. Whilst on a sports society bar crawl she bumped into a King’s College student by the name of Edward Knave. Despite her beauty Victoria had hardly received male attention and Edward Knave was easily the most handsome man she had ever met. Descendent from a noble Yorkshire family Victoria knew he wasn’t interested in her money and the two began dating shortly after meeting. When Lissa moved to central London Victoria was excited to introduce them, hopeful they would like one another. In hindsight Victoria should have considered “the Lissa effect” but she was so in love she couldn’t have imagined what would happen.

Before graduating top of her class in Liberal Arts, Victoria took a gap year to live in Paris for year abroad, leaving Lissa and Edward alone together in London. Unbeknown to Victoria and Vasilisa, Edward Knave had a reputation. “The Knave of Hearts” was his name and breaking the hearts of beautiful young women was his game. Edward was incredibly calculated and to this day the Heart sisters do not know if Edward Knave truly loved either of them. Lissa and Edward started an affair behind Victoria’s back for almost two years before Victoria discovered the pair kissing at Lissa’s graduation party. Something in Victoria snapped that day. Packing up her things Victoria left silently and moved away to New York City, getting a job as marketing at The House of Deville where she became close friends with it’s creator Cruella Deville. Cruella was a breath of fresh air to Victoria, introducing her to a new crowd of people called the Bedeviled, made up of people like herself who had gotten the short end of the stick in life.

It was one night as she drank with Cruella in their favourite bar The Devil’s Lair that she saw an old friend getting attacked by James Ratcliffe, the slippery Knave had made his way back into her life and she was curious to no why. Up to his eyes in debts he couldn’t afford to pay, Edward had planned to marry the Heart sisters for their family money and had currently set up an escort service with her idiot sisters. Victoria offered to pay off his debt in return for servitude, a stake in a new club and the broken heart of her sister. Naturally Edward agreed and helped Victoria set up “The Red Queen”, a rival burlesque club and escort service for the Bedeviled faction. Her team included the Knave as head of security and Charles Cheshire as her best card dealer. Victoria made it her duty to poach Vasilisa’s employees, succeeding in bartering for her best barman Asher White and devising a full proof plan to take her best courtesan Alice Kingsleigh. Alice would be the ultimate prize from her sister now she had already taken Edward. Though Victoria belongs to the Bedeviled faction, her main fight is with her sister Lissa and she will do anything within her power to leave her with nothing. Victoria does have one weakness however, the only man she came to love after Edward, Nathan Kings. Nathaniel and Victoria grew apart after Victoria began to get involved with the Bedeviled and pushed him closer to a penniless photographer named Tessie Davis. The king of cards, Victoria wants Nate to join her empire both as her boyfriend and a valuable force against her sister. Victoria would do anything to get Nathaniel back, including making Tessie disappear.
