Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 481

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 481

Without pausing to probe for flaws in her own logic, Vivian kept searching for reasons to convince herself that he was not the one in the room. In the end, she still could not find the strength to walk through the doors and verify things for herself.

Instead, she hastily pulled out her own phone and dialed Finnick’s number. I trust that you would not do this to me, Finnick. Please pick up… Please…

As she prayed silently, she heard the ringtone from Finnick’s phone rang out from inside the room. That instantly deadened her heart, for she had no doubt this must be his.

It was the one she had idly selected for him just a couple of days back. There was no mistake about it. Could the man in the room really be him?

She continued to shake her head in denial of her own assumptions, and only hoped that he would pick up and tell her that he was not at home. If he was able to do so, she would choose to believe him.

It would appear that the heavens had ignored Vivian’s pleas as Evelyn’s moans ignited anew.

“Ah, don’t pick up that ugly bitch’s call now. You’re spoiling the mood… Ah… Finnick, you devil…”

Vivian did not hear Finnick’s response. However, her call was rejected as soon as Evelyn stopped talking.

“We’re sorry; the number you are calling is out of reach. Please call again later…” Vivian’s hand fell limp as she sat where she was. She felt completely drained.

She understood intimately what utter despair meant. It proved in the end how silly she was to try to make excuses for Finnick just because she herself would not accept the truth of his betrayal.
