Vivienne's POV
The drive back to Ronan’s mansion was a suffocating kind of silent, and I hated it. He hadn't uttered a word since he walked out of that room, and I hadn't dared to break the stillness either. It was a miracle how I was able to find him after he'd dismissed Lana. For some strange reason, I couldn't bring myself to move after Lana had threatened me. I wasn't scared, not exactly, but I just couldn't shake off the fact that she had threatened me.
Maybe a small part of me was waiting and hoping that she would come back, and Ronan would catch her threatening me. Then, he would know she had always been the problem, not me. Another what if, that popped up at the back of my mind, even though it repulsed me greatly, was Maverick’s proposal.
I would be lying if I said I'd forgot
