Chapter 284: Helping hand (1)
"I am not staying here. I am the queen," Vivienne reminded Darius.
He could not just rid her of her title like this.
"You are the queen until I find another to replace you, which shouldn’t take long. Getting your father on my side was a bit of a struggle, but I am willing to give him what he wants. Your father doesn’t like how rebellious you have become," Darius said.
Darius wasn’t the only one who wasn’t happy to hear Vivienne wanted other men by her side. It was the first time he held a conversation with Victor where they wanted the same thing.
"Your father isn’t going to come to get you, and I’ve struck a deal with him not to tell the others of your state for now. Your father will be awarded a good position in the court for now," Darius shared.
Darius wasn’t planning to keep his deal with Victor for long since a member of Vivienne’s family was eyeing the throne. He couldn’t trust anyone.
"I am not staying here," Vivienne said, walking toward the door, only to be grabbed by Darius. Vivienne slapped Darius, no longer holding back. "Don’t put your hands on me."
Darius and Victor working together to keep her locked away surprised Vivienne, but it did not stop her from continuing her plans. She was not afraid of these two men, and what Darius shared added Victor to the list of people Vivienne wanted dead.
Darius took the slap without issue and held onto Vivienne. "You’re still the queen for now, as you said. You should carry yourself a certain way. I know that you are angry, but whose fault is this? How did you get to this point? Think about that while you are here."
