Chapter 157: Holding on (2)
"What have you come to yell at me about now, Vivienne? As you can see, I am alone now so whoever told you I was with someone was lying to you. Or, have you come to yell about Theresa again? If that is the case, I am not in the mood for it," said Darius.
He had better things to do than speak about a dead woman. Why wasn’t Vivienne getting tired of having these same old conversations?
"I am not here to speak about Theresa or to accuse you of being with anyone. I only came to speak about the mistresses you want to pick. I want a hand in selecting who it is," Vivienne said, finally getting his interest.
"Oh," Darius sat back. "This should be interesting. What caused you to go from being angry with me to now wanting a hand in it? If you are thinking of getting a few mixed-bloods so you can kill them when you want then go back to wherever you came from. I am getting purebloods."
"I am very aware of what you want. There’s no point for me to argue with you since you’ll just do as you like. These women will have to share the palace with me so I want it to be someone I can stomach. You owe it to me as your wife to allow this," said Vivienne.
Darius would see it as a good deal if not for Vivienne’s father suddenly in the palace. "Is this your bright idea or is it your father’s? Don’t think I missed the two of you walking off last night. I see everything, Vivienne. I know that you are up to something."
Victor now staying in the palace proved it. Unfortunately, Darius couldn’t send out Vivienne’s father without good reason. He could only rely on Victor knowing better than to harm any of the purebloods invited to the palace.
Vivienne sat down before Darius. "Everything I do is because I thought of it. My father heard I seemed sad and came to visit me. I don’t see any issue with that. Wouldn’t you like it if your father came to see you? Oh, he might be disappointed."
Darius tapped his fingers on the table before him. Vivienne was taking this too far. "You should be careful, Vivienne. Your father wouldn’t be able to reach us in time if I wanted to strangle you."
