Chapter 84: Resolution
Leander said nothing back and Viviana continued.
"I don’t want anyone else to die in my place. I’ll do whatever you ask of me. I’ll do everything you want me to do. So, don’t hurt those women who share my appearance. And when your grandfather asks for my life, do it. A bullet between my eyes or a quick slash across my throat...You’ll know it better. Something quick, something sudden. Please..."
Viviana observed his reaction. His eyebrows and lips relaxed. His eyes looked dim, but he did not look angry. She was glad that he understood her. It won’t be hard for him to kill her. He’s used to killing and she will be safe in his hands rather than getting handed over to Peter or Evander.
Leander stared at her blankly. She said she was going to ask for her birthday wish. But she is asking him to kill her.
He didn’t know how to react to that.
After their wedding, the first thing his wife asks of him is to kill her. How many couples in this world start their forever together like this? Is this how much she values their marriage? He got that everything happened without her consent. But must she act like this?
As if, the precious thing that happened between them last night matters nothing to her...
From the day he met her on the ledge, she has been an enigma. That day, she was so filled with hatred, she told him that she will not die in his hands. And today, hiding the same hatred, she is asking him to kill her.
"Why me?" he asked. "You... never mind," he stood up with a sigh. "Okay," he nodded.
"Thank you," Viviana smiled from her heart.
A lot happened in the past few weeks, but for the first time, something goes according to her wish. The destruction she wished on the Kastello family has started. It won’t take long before for them to implode.
She didn’t want to die. But for the first time, death is looming over her. And now she has found a way to avoid the serious offense of suicide and found a way to have an easy death. Who knew? All she needed to do for her to die was to marry a Kastello. It’s as easy as that.
