Chapter 142: Evil deed (3)

Trigger warning! Some content in this Chapter contains dark themes.

"I will not let you put this on me. You had a wife who at the very beginning decided to give you a chance but you wasted it by yearning for other women. Now you take your frustrations of Xavier having a woman you cannot get in your hands out on Theresa. I don’t care what you say. She did not want to be here," Vivienne argued.

Vivienne knew Theresa better than Darius ever did. All Darius saw was a pretty face but Vivienne had many conversations with Theresa as more than a queen with her maid.

"I do not believe covering their faces would be enough to protect them from you. You’re a danger to any woman who catches your eye and one day, you will suffer from it. Get out!" Vivienne pointed to the door.

"If you knew I had some interest in her and that I was a danger, why didn’t you send her away?" Darius asked.

No matter what, Vivienne was partly to blame and he believed that there wasn’t a woman who could wholeheartedly say they did not want a place by his side. Everyone wanted power.

"Because I was foolish to trust you wouldn’t do her like this. I won’t make that mistake a second time. Get out before I find a way to kill you right now and I will not regret it even if everyone pushes for me to follow you in death. Get out," Vivienne ordered Darius in a low threatening tone.

"Get that woman by yourself and be prepared for the consequences of what you did today," said Vivienne.

She would not allow Darius to get away with this.

Darius smiled. It amused him when Vivienne thought she could do something to him. "You have killed many women I cared for. Consider this my revenge. She was good," he threw the comment simply to upset Vivienne.

As angry as Vivienne was, she knew she couldn’t harm the king. Not when the court and all the families wanted to be on his good side. Darius knew she would be angry now but leave him be later.

To his surprise, Vivienne slapped him again but this time as she pulled back, she dug her nails into his cheek to create long scratches which bled. Vivienne wanted it to be there forever to remind him of what she did but the wounds started to heal as quickly as she made them.

Darius grabbed her hand once again. This time, he wanted to break it but he couldn’t. Like Vivienne could not hurt him, Darius could not hurt her. She was the one the elders and all the families wanted to have the next king.

Darius released her hand, deciding to let what she did slide for now. "I suggest you do not raise your hand to me again or I have her as I like while you are forced to watch. It is now the king’s order that she is not to leave the palace. Not until I am through with her or until you have brought me Selene."

"So, decide what you will do. Will you let me have your maid or Selene? Regardless of what you decide, I will have fun. Do not be late to our chambers since you still have to fulfil to carry my son," said Darius.

Darius proceeded to exit the room before Vivienne could attack him again. He already got what he came for which was her maid. It didn’t satisfy him one bit since all he could think of was Selene. He wouldn’t be satisfied until he got what Xavier had.

Darius needed his answers to what was so special about Selene to make Xavier get married now when it wasn’t long ago there was talk of Xavier going to sleep.

Darius wanted Selene.

He needed her more than he needed Vivienne.
