Chapter 151: Plotting for the future (4)
"Move your hand," Juliana ordered Natalie. She stepped away from Natalie when she was freed. "Why are you being so sneaky?"
"I just saved you and that is what you say before thanking me?" Natalie asked.
"Saved?" Juliana laughed, now confirming Natalie had lost her mind. "We were here first. It can’t be helped that Vivienne and her father came near us to speak. It must have been important if they were using a stone. I didn’t hear anything. Did you?"
"No," Natalie replied, curious about the secret conversation. "That just shows that you were wrong. There is something wrong with their marriage."
"It looked fine to me. There’s nothing wrong with her not wanting to be stared at by all those people. Why are you laughing?" Juliana questioned, annoyed that Natalie tried to make her the joke.
"I fear how you will be if you ever get married. No one should be this naive but I guess, our kind should have a few like you. It makes it all the better for the ones like me. Go on thinking their marriage is fine. Don’t come to me later when the truth comes out," said Natalie.
Natalie continued to walk away from the ballroom. Vivienne heading back meant she was going to be with Darius and Natalie wasn’t ready to see it yet.
Why did two people who hate each other need to stay together?
Natalie felt compelled to burst Vivienne’s bubble by reminding her Darius only wanted her because of Xavier. Vivienne wasn’t special.
