Chapter 100: Plans (1)
"Why have you come to me? Isn’t there some whore in the palace to take up all your time?" Vivienne asked, staring in the mirror at her husband’s reflection. "If you have come to tell me that you picked who will join me at your side then I advise you to leave."
"I have not decided on those women. I thought it would please you to see me here at your side. You have been upset these days-"
"And why would that be?" Vivienne raised her voice as she turned around to face Darius. "My husband gives his attention and body to every woman who catches his eyes."
"We are not done with this talk yet? For someone who doesn’t love me, you care a lot about who I give my time to-"
"You imbecile! I care about the disrespect. These women ignore my orders because they have your favour. It is insulting to me and my family name," Vivienne argued.
Like Darius, her family played an important role in the history of vampires. She was not to be treated as she was.
"We both know that your family doesn’t care about how many women I have. They only care about you being the one to birth the next king. Are they aware you aren’t holding up your end of the deal?" Darius asked, revealing why he came.
While a daughter was lovely, it was a son he wanted. Darius needed someone who could carry on his family name.
Vivienne could not believe the audacity of the man before her. "It is pointless speaking to you since you do not hear what I say. Do you think it is easy to lay with you? You only come to me when you want something or to anger me. Which is it?"
