All Chapters of Divorced and Mated to The Crown: Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

The door was closed shut and for several seconds, the only sound left in the room was the faint hum of his footsteps through the hallway and the click of the door he left closed.“House of Vale…”The words escaped my mouth as the name once again lingered on my tongue, beside me, Nathan finally looked away from the door.“Do you know what that means?”I glanced at him.“You’ve heard of them? He asked once again.“I’ve heard the name,” I responded.“When?”I opened my mouth and then closed it thinking it might not be the best choice to answer honestly. I just know that House of Vale is one of the prestigious and powerful houses here. Other than that, I don’t even know much about Damien, I literally met him today, what can I say if I say all of this to Nathan.“Somewhere before, but I don’t know he’s from the Vale’s,” I uttered.“If you’re hiding things from me, Genevieve, you know what’s coming for you,” he said and stared right through me.I put my gaze back at him and stared at him wit

“In hindsight,” Damien said, glancing at the boutique surrounding us before looking down at the shopping bags hanging from his wrist, ‘That sounds unlikely.”A laugh escaped me before I could stop it, and it caught both of us off guard.

You know what you’re funny, I’d give that to you.”“

Nyx whispered softly inside my mind.Let’s go, Viv.I swallowed the ache rising in my throat.“Yeah.”I tore my eyes away before Nthan ever find mine, with a thought in mind. I wondered if signing the divorce papers had been the easiest part of letting him go.“You should head home too,” I told Damien and without any further notice, took my purchases back and walked away.The drive home felt a bit longer this time, my thoughts remained somewhere between a midnight-blue dress, Nathan not denying any allegations, and a silver-haired man who had somehow made protection and silence feel comfortable.I sighed the moment I unlocked my apartment door, “Finally, home.”Nyx stretched lazily.Mmhm.“I don’t like that sound,” I said looking at the mirror and it showed Nyx waking up.What sound?“You’re like moaning or something, annoys me.”I’ve never annoyed you? And there’s nothing wrong with what I did.“Right, said the one who annoyed me every day ever since I turned eighteen.”Correction.Sh
