Chapter 68: Who to discard?
At Starlink Apartments,
If Elliot knew about Damien’s marriage status, then Damien’s lies could only complicate things further. He calmly got off the bed, but Vivienne was frozen.
She shook, imagining the worst. Her father had only recently begun warming up to her, even praising her work. This wouldn’t have been a problem if Elliot didn’t already know Damien was married.
"How- How did you know Damien is married?" She stuttered.
However, Damien looked Elliot in the eyes and said, "We’ll speak downstairs." His composure was solid. He walked past Elliot like he had done nothing wrong.
Elliot’s eyes flared at Damien’s behavior. He turned to Vivienne and snapped. "How did I know!? You knew he was married."
It hit him like a slap to the chest. He almost thought Damien must have deceived her. He couldn’t believe Vivienne was with Damien despite knowing he was married. He stormed inside the room and struck her across the face.
’Slap.’
Her head snapped to the side by the force. Her cheeks burned red, tears welling in her eyes from the sting.
Elliot’s jaw clenched. He said through gritted teeth, "Are you just worth being a mistress? Do you have no shame?"
He paced the bedroom, seething, breathing heavily. He tried to suppress his anger but failed. He turned to her and spat, "Do you even know who his wife is? Who are his in-laws?"
