Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 284

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."

"You are having a child with someone I considered to be a friend, and you think I need time to think over my actions? You have bedded every woman who caught your eye in the palace and smiled in my face. Yet I am the one who is in the wrong?" Vivienne asked, wanting to stab Darius instead of slap him.

Vivienne laughed, but there wasn’t any warmth to it. "You only wanted me because you thought Xavier wanted me. You never loved me, but I tried to love you. You showed me a good side at first, but from the moment we wed, you showed your real face."

"You misunderstand me, Vivienne. I did love you, but I don’t love-" _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"How could you love someone and play in their face with many women? Do you think because you sometimes hid and bedded them in closed rooms where I couldn’t see, I should appreciate it?" Vivienne asked.

Darius’s mind was odd to think she should be grateful.

"Whenever you were missing, I guessed that you were with a woman, and I was always right. You would smile like it was funny. Like you were hoping I would find you. Now that I am doing what you have done for years, you want to lock me away," Vivienne said, her laughter increasing.

Vivienne raked her fingers through her hair as she walked away. Darius was going to make her lose her mind.

It was a miracle she had not long lost it.

"Go," Vivienne ordered Darius. "I don’t want to see your face."
