Oh how I despise John Martin and I had disliked Victoria but in all she is a woman who wanted to be loved for whom she was. John was mean and nasty he should have had no woman. He was a pig. Robert was no bad at one point but it was because of Randal who was like John . When Victoria went to Mobile she should have stayed. Then he had the cold heart to make love to Victoria when drugged on morphine and Calling another woman's name. Victoria knew she had hurt so many she loved but what could she do. Did she run die or face it. She wrote letters and left he child behind what will become of her. John ruined her as a woman and as a mother
John was a real evil and selfish man. He got his just reward. Victoria was selfish person, but she didn't deserve to be butchered like she was. Claire and Andrew are exceptional people.
