Chapter 47: In The Clutches of Brothers
"Mom! That’s not it. I am housing her because she has nowhere else to go," Leander said scratching the back of his head.
Leander was blushing like a kid who was caught red-handed stealing cookies. Viviana was surprised to see that monstrous guy who threatened to kill innocent women acting like a little boy in front of his mother.
Viviana got curious about Leander’s mother. She should be the lioness for Leander to be this submissive to her.
"In your bedroom?" Viola said avoiding his eyes.
Leander bowed his head with an awkward smile, scratching his neck.
Viviana decided to stay out of whatever was happening between them. Viola’s tone was accusatory and Leander was acting submissive. It didn’t sound like a mother rebuking her son out of love, but more like she was afraid of something and trying to protect herself. Her anger sounded self-preservatory.
Well, Viviana didn’t care.
"You are the rumored woman who tied the young lion to his bed, huh?"
Viviana raised her head to the grating voice that was filled with conceit. It was hard for her to bring a smile to her face, but she did. Their eyes met for a brief second before she bowed her head. Leander didn’t tell her how she should act and so she decided to let him answer for her.
But before anyone could answer, Evander wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into a hug. Viviana clenched her hands into a fist as his other hand reached to the zipper of her dress.
This is what she was afraid of.
"That’s enough, Evander!"
