Chapter 4 4

"I was so jealous when you hugged my sister's waist earlier!"

"Sorry Nunally, I did that too because of my role as a husband in front of them."

"Then, what is my role to you?"

"You're ....." Alaric trailed off. His forefinger slid down to Nunally's exposed breast from her dress. Then he licked her lower lip sensually. "Is my woman," he continued.

Nunally winced. His face turned red. She unconsciously bit her lip, tugging at Alaric's deep-seated lust. "Don't bite your lip, baby," Alaric said.

"I won't if your hand stops down there!" Nunally protested with a flushed face. I don't know when Alaric's hand had slipped under the skirt of her long dress.

A gust of wind began to feel on the skin of his legs, as the unconfined fabric was easily pulled up by Alaric.

"Do you love my brother?" Nunally asked.

"No, I don't love him anymore," Alaric replied as he did something to his own clothes.

"Why?" Nunally continued to ask.

"Because his game isn't as good as yours. You make me feel like I'm in heaven, baby." Alaric's breathing began to get heavy. "Are you ready?"

Nunally grinned widely. "Come to me, baby," Nunally said. She looked smitten before she even started.

In the next minute there was only the erotic sound of the two animals having sex. Not knowing there were tears ruining someone's beautiful face at the door.

I immediately turned back against the wall. I clamped my mouth shut so they wouldn't hear the sound of my crying. My breath caught, and my head felt like it had been hit by a giant rock. My head hurt. My chest felt very tight. I thought I needed oxygen.

"I have something for you to wear," Alaric's voice said.

When I glanced inside, my watery eyes bulged in shock as Alaric showed me the blue jeweled necklace and put it around the Nunally bitch's neck!

Bastard!

I've never seen anything like this before! I had no idea that the blue jeweled necklace-which I thought was going to be given to me-was actually given to Nunally in such an---- asshole!

In my previous life, I only knew about finding the jeweled necklace box in Alaric's room and seeing it around Nunally's neck the next day, but not the way she put it on!

Asshole! Asshole! Damn it!

There are no worse words in the world to curse their actions.

I went to a quiet place to calm down. Then stopped at a balcony behind the house.

I took a deep breath. I made sure no one was around, and then, "FUCK YOU!" I shouted loudly. Suddenly, the lush trees there shook and a bunch of birds flew away.

I'm sure they were startled by my voice. Well, let it be as long as no one else knew that I, the hostess, was the one shouting obscenities. Even though this kind of thing is not allowed to be said by a classy person.

Breaking the strict family rules a little is fine. At least now I felt more relieved. I caught my breath calmly.

I stayed on the balcony for a long time, lost in thought, just enjoying the breeze. Suddenly, someone's faint voice entered my ears.

"Have you seen Vivian?"

His voice was not far from where I was. I stiffened recognizing the male voice. I panicked. It was the voice of that asshole-err-Alaric!

I wanted to escape! He can't find me here. Especially seeing that my eyes have traces of tears. But how can I hide myself?

I'm panicking! How is this!

Looking down at the balcony, it looks like it has a creepy height. Don't even think about jumping down, Vivian!

However, the tree branch in front seemed to be waving at me. I was thinking of escaping with the help of the tree near the balcony. Then there was no other choice. So I crawled up to the balcony divider.

The dress I was wearing was a bit of an inconvenience. I wanted to complain but it wasn't the time. When I reached it, I dangled timidly. I only had to cling to the tree trunk a little more, then crawl down slowly. That's exactly what I was expecting when the branch I was holding unexpectedly made a sound, and before I could save myself, it snapped off instantly!

In an instant, my body was pulled strongly by gravity. But after a while, I didn't feel the hard impact on the ground. Both my feet didn't feel like they were resting on anything.

I opened my eyes and soon found the shadow of someone's face above me. A man with charming features was looking at me worriedly. My back could feel his two sturdy arms holding my body off the ground. "Are you alright?" The voice sounded heavy yet crisp, like it was flowing into an invisible niche.

However, his face looked familiar. In fact, I recognized this man's face very well. So my eyes quickly widened, and my breath caught. I was about to ask him to put me down just before I heard Alaric's voice up there speaking, "I think I hear something up here." He appeared behind the balcony.

Not yet aged from the shock of this man's figure, I reflexively hid my face into his chest. Well done Vivian! You've made the fatal mistake of hugging a man you shouldn't have touched!

This man probably doesn't understand what I'm doing right now. "Is---"

"Shhh!" I cut in quickly. Signaling him not to make a sound and draw the attention of the man up there.

Then I slowly peeked up to make sure Alaric was really gone, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief to find the balcony empty.

"Please put me down," I said.

This man lowered my body slowly until both my shoes finally stepped on the ground properly. I took a breath and prepared to say something with all the courage I could muster. "Thank you for coming to our little event. It's an honor to invite you," I said as I lifted my skirt with a slight bow.

"Vivian?"

I hurriedly uttered. "On my honor, I apologize for my impoliteness earlier." I felt ashamed to have fallen on Avex's chairman's granddaughter!

Please, O Goddess of Fortune!

"Are you hurt? You almost fell from the high second floor." He asked worriedly.

I wasn't even supposed to get worried from the granddaughter of Avex's chairman. This only added to my burden of guilt on her.

Why did I have to fall on her too! I should have looked below me before falling! But the branch suddenly broke off, and it was out of my control. In common sense, this incident happened without being intentionally planned.

Yes, Vivian! You're just a little unlucky today.

"The one who should be asking is me. Are you hurt?"

Suddenly I gasped, his long, white hand clamped on my chin, then lifted it until our eyes met.

His face came closer. A line of seductive smile was etched on her lips. His sparkling eyes implied something unexpected, until a single sigh called my name so intimately.

"Vivian ...."
