The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290

“It was you, wasn’t it?” turned fully to look at her. My hand was itching for another slap. “You plotted that whole incident the other day.”

Vivian took a step closer and lowered her voice.” “I’m only trying to help you, Ellie. Dominic and I… well. We were always a better match, anyway. But he’s still insistent, for some reason, on not breaking that contract of yours.”

I pulled my head back, nostrils flaring. “Wait. Are you two…”

Vivian’s lips curved.

“Don’t act like you ever loved him,” she said. “You just feel trapped by him, anyway.”

My lips parted, but nothing came out other than a small sound that immediately made Vivian smile.

Vivian. Dominic. Together.

That was all I could think of now.

How many times had they met in secret, sharing their deepest fears and desires with one another? How many times had they…

I didn’t even want to consider it. But deep down, I knew it was true. Dominic had been so quick to put Vivian in my position in my past life. It was no wonder he was pulling her closer in this one-they were sleeping together.

And Vivian was pulling the strings behind all of it. Sleeping with my husband while planting ideas about me and other men into his head.

He wasn’t blameless in the matter, of course. Not by a long shot. But now it all made sense.

The exact same fucking thing that happened in my last life was going to happen in this one. If I didn’t get out of here one way or another, then Vivian and Dominic were going to find a way to get rid of me in the most permanent of ways so they could be together. I was sure of it.

And this whole sham of a marriage had been nothing but a fucking humiliation ritual.

“What’s wrong, sister?” Vivian put a hand on my arm. “Cat got your tongue?”

“Don’t fucking touch me.” I slapped her hand away, which only made her smile further. I had nothing more to say to her. I turned and stormed down the hall to my room, where I shut the door and locked it.
