Chapter 81: Betrayal (2)
Fiona paced back and forth in her home. She was nervous about the consequences of the things she had been saying because of Oliver and now there were women he wanted her to meet with to speak about Selene.
It was a lie. It was all lies but when it came from her mouth and everyone was so interested in Selene, it seemed believable.
"She will not forgive me," Fiona muttered, worried about Selene’s reaction.
Fiona could always confide in Selene and expect her secrets not to be told but here she was speaking on something which never happened. It was going to hurt Selene deeply to know these lies were coming from a friend.
Fiona bit at her nails. Oliver promised that no one would question them about it yet he wanted her to meet with ladies who never acknowledged her before. It was bound to get out that the rumours started with them.
"I do not like this," Fiona said.
It wasn’t only Selene they needed to be concerned about but Xavier as well.
Fiona looked at the maid Oliver recently hired to help her with the work around their home. He promised that they would soon have a cook so she wouldn’t tire herself out. Then the gardener would return.
This was all Fiona wanted but it was coming at the loss of a friend and she did not understand who was paying Oliver to speak about Selene.
