Chapter 204: Not About Trust
Viviana sighed. She didn’t know what he was thinking but she could see that he had made his decision. He was not going to change it.
"I’ll get ready..." she said and she saw a flash of relief on his face.
She didn’t know why he seemed relieved though. It’s not like she really has a choice.
"But I need to..." she pointed at the door. She wanted to check on Gabby first. She needed to gather herself. Because right now, she was so mad and so disappointed in Leander.
He looked like he cried. And she knew he was hurting the same way she did, watching that tape. He looked terrible and pale.
And yet he insists to attend the party to satisfy his brother. Is his family that important to him?
The tape made it clear that Evander attacked Gabriella solely because he thought that she was Leander’s woman. He did that in a terrible way. There’s no "nice" way to do that abominable thing, but he made Gabriella go through ultimate cruelty while destroying her soul.
And that was only half the tape. She didn’t have the nerve to watch the rest of the tape.
Leander heard her cries. He should have understood how cruel that was. He obviously feels bad for Gabriella. But he is bringing her to his brother.
She couldn’t understand him.
But it’s still his birthday and she didn’t want to give him hell even though he acts like a total moron. Maybe he has a plan, she didn’t know.
And she didn’t care.
