The Villainess's Reckoning
"Dad, Mom, you know what she's like! She's obsessive, paranoid, completely irrational. She made that report to test me. It's fake!"
Then he turned toward Vivian, desperation written all over his face as he reached for his last lifeline.
"Vivian, you believe me, don't you? How could I possibly have something like that? She barely lets me talk to other women. I've done nothing wrong!"
Vivian stood perfectly still.
The gentle warmth she usually carried had vanished, replaced by icy disgust.
She took a step back, avoiding the hand he reached toward her.
"Done nothing wrong?"
With a cold laugh, Vivian pulled out her phone and pressed play.
