Amidst all the chaos in Victoria's life at that moment the only thing she asked Mara was to bury her poor mother before she could leave. She felt lost, she wasn't even sure if Christian was in cahoots with Mara, she thought maybe he was punishing her for disappearing for four years with his kids. She didn't know who to trust or who to turn to, she just knew she had to bury her mother and that forsaken place. Although Mara wanted to feed Helena's body to the dogs, she eventually agreed to realise the body after Christian coaxed and begged her to give back the body. He was not allowed to attend the funeral by Mara, but even Victoria prevented him from going. She wanted to cut all ties with this man, she has been hurt before but not like this. Everything just all happened at the same time
