Chapter 205: An Exchange
Leander said nothing for the rest of the ride. The partition was still up and Viviana didn’t know what he was thinking. Massaging his forehead with his fingers he looked to be pondering something.
She did feel a little bad for him. He might be struggling to choose one or the other. He’s lived his entire life for his family. He can’t just see them differently in just a day.
She was feeling mad at him. He was the one who stated that he is one flesh with her and that he’d leave his family. Well, he did leave his mother. Guess his grandfather and his brother do not get included in his offer.
Well, she can’t be mad about that. Who is she to get mad at him?
She looked through the window. It was a weekday and she saw couples walking on the sidewalk holding hands, families walking together and some walking with their dogs. It’s just a normal day for them. She used to have normal days too in the distant past.
She could only sigh. Everyone looked at the car she was in with awe. And they all kept a distance from the car. The lights were green at all the traffic signals and even when it was rarely red, the Rolls Royce zoomed through with no consideration.
Who’d have thought that her life would change this much in a couple of months? She was supposed to be dead.
She calmed down after a while. He asked her if she didn’t trust him. She did trust him. She knew he wouldn’t let her get hurt by his brother. But anything could go wrong.
She knows because it’s the story of her life.
She decided not to be too mad at him. He could have kept her safe by leaving her back home. But he is kind of insisting that she goes to the party.
She did think it was weird. Maybe, he is not trying to bring her to the party, but is trying to keep her near him...? There is that possibility if she wants to see the positive side of it.
She is relatively safer with Leander than at home, right?
