Chapter 64

They stepped out of the boys‘ room feeling fulfilled to have done what they did, and they returned to the bed. Julian suggested showering together, and she agreed, and they stripped n*ked and stepped into the bathroom together.

They stayed silent for a while, both having the hot water descend on their skin. Julian offered to wash Fiona, and she allowed him. His hands were perfect on her, and they gave her the relief she needed, and she did the same for him.

They returned to the bedroom and got ready for bed. They tucked into bed, and she snuggled closer to him, placing her head on his chest and hearing his steady heartbeat. She realised she loved this; it was simple yet meant so much more.

They stayed that way for a while before Fiona spoke, taking her mind back to seeing Vivian this morning. “I went to see Vivian this morning when I visited the court,”

His gaze moved to her, and they were narrowed. “Why did you do that?”

She turned to look at him, and their gazes locked. “I wanted to know why she hated me so much.”

“And did you?”

She turned away from him to the ceiling before speaking. “Well, she said it was because I was a threat that needed to be eliminated. She still believes she should have taken me out when she had the chance.”

“She is never going to harm you again. Tomorrow we will return to the council court and hear her sentencing.” He said it with assurance and k*ssed her forehead.

“She asked me to kill her,” Fiona said in a small tone. “She told me I had an advantage since she was in the dungeon and had the giga around her neck, and she told me it would be my last chance to do it. She said you were weak and would die, and I needed to eliminate all the threats in my way, starting with her.” “She said all that?” Julian asked, a little surprised.

Fiona nodded. “She did; I guess she was trying to help me.”

“No, she wasn’t trying to help you; remember what you told me before? People like Vivian never think about helping anyone but themselves, so this offer was a trap. Perhaps she knew there was no escaping this and wanted to go by your hands. You are a pure soul, and taking justice into your hands will taint your conscience and eventually turn you into someone like her.”

“I couldn’t do it; I didn’t want to.”

“And you made the right decision.” He said.
