“What the fuck happened to your face?” I touch my cheek.
“I don’t know what you mean.” I play dumb.
“There is a handprint on your face. What the fuck did Fiona do?”
“Fiona didn’t do anything.” I swallow.
“I won’t tolerate you lying to my face. This has her name written all over.” He turns to leave. I stop him.
“Don’t make a scene. That is exactly what she wants, your attention. Your family is here. Just excuse me and tell them I am not feeling well.” Not that anyone is going to believe it since I am sure word has probably spread about what happened.
“I won’t fucking allow this.”
“I’m asking you to.”
“Ava, you are going to be my wife. I won’t tolerate anyone disrespecting you.”
“But I’m not going to be your wife. Soon you will be a free man.” He takes my hands.
“For all intents and purposes, you are going to be my wife. Everyone knows this.”
“Let her be. You don’t need to upset your father. It’s Christmas Eve. If tomorrow you still want to address it, go right ahead. But not tonight and not here.” He pulls me and crushes my lips. This man is so confusing. He breaks the kiss.
“What have you done to me?” He says as he leaves.
His words confuse me even more. I am standing in the center of his bedroom alone and broken. I can’t breathe and feel lost. I sit on the bed defeated. I let my tears go. I’m afraid Viktor and I won’t have a tomorrow. We aren’t going to make it. This is how it’s all going to end.
Chapter Forty-Five
Viktor
I leave the bedroom pissed ready to do what needs to be done. This night has been the night from hell. Ava looked broken when I left her standing in the middle of our bedroom. Seeing Fiona’s handprint on Ava’s face is not something I will tolerate. I could care less if it is Christmas Eve or there are guests in my house. This won’t go unanswered. Fiona is losing her mind if she thinks she is getting away with this shit.
“Viktor,” I hear Oliver. I keep walking. “Stop. We need to talk.” I want to keep walking but his tone demands attention.
“What?” I turn as he approaches.
“She isn’t here. I escorted her out.”
“You allowed her to lay a finger on Ava?” I grab him by the neck and push him to the nearest wall.
“I stopped it before it could escalate.”
“Were you not going to tell me?”
“Let’s take this somewhere private.” He puts his hands on my arm trying to push it away. But I am stronger.
“Viktor, let him go.” I hear my mother say.
“Stay out of this, Mom.” I let Oliver go.
“I’m afraid it’s a little too late for that. Where is Ava?”
“She isn’t feeling well. She is calling it a night.”
“Your father is furious. He knows about the incident between Ava and Fiona.”
“I don’t fucking care.”
