Chapter 213: Resentment And Atonement
It took some time for Viviana to compose herself. And it took her a few seconds before she was caught red-handed by Leander beating up his beloved brother.
Leander was walking toward her and she panicked.
With a gasp, she took a step backward. The rod she was holding on to for dear life slipped from her hand and with a plop, it dropped into the water.
She stepped backward until her back hit the counter. The gushing water wetted her back and her neck. She supported herself and observed Leander.
He stopped walking and stood by his brother. With his feet, he lifted Evander’s face. With a slight nudge, he turned Evander’s face up so that he won’t take in the water from the floor. He was drowning in the water.
Evander coughed. Leander looked at Viviana. "It’s not easy to beat a man to death, is it?"
Viviana gulped. By now she understood that Leander was not very mad at her for hurting his brother. Or is she wrong?
She pressed her lips and looked at him, waiting to say something else.
"Steve!" Leander shouted.
Viviana winced. Steve’s head popped in the door. Leander jerked his head. Viviana didn’t know what Leander told him but Steve understood the meaning and he went away immediately.
Leander looked at her and sighed. "Will you get away from the water?" he held out his hand. "And wear your shoes."
Viviana nodded and walked to the shoes. The shoes were dripping wet. And when she held them, she realized the shoes were ruined. She wiped the shoes in her dress and found the outer layer of the shoes was ruined with water. They were soaked and she knew they won’t be the same after drying.
