Chapter 231: Outed Secret
Leander placed her on the bed. Viviana tried to roll down the bed. She did not want to be there. Leander pinned her down on the bed.
"You will sleep here with me as long as I am alive," Leander hissed in her ear. Resting his head on her shoulder he let out a deep breath. "Mousy, what’s wrong? Why are you like this?" he asked sounding so despondent.
Viviana stopped struggling. She cannot handle it if he talks to her in this tone.
"I am fine. You are right. I won’t talk to you about anything again," she said softly.
Leander let go of her hands and looked at her. She was turning to the side.
"Look at me," he said.
Viviana’s eyes clouded.
"Not this!" he sighed. "Why are you crying?" he asked holding her cheek. "Are you hurting somewhere? Does your stomach hurt? Look at me..."
"I’m fine," Viviana wiped the corner of her eyes. "Just leave me alone..."
"You won’t even look at me?" he asked rolling to the side. "Minnie..." he held her cheek.
Viviana sniffed and rolled to her side of the bed leaving his warmth. Leander stayed on the bed for some time watching her. He then walked out.
Viviana flinched as he banged the door shut. She couldn’t fall asleep. Leander returned after some time. She could only fall asleep after that. And still, she couldn’t have a deep sleep.
