Percival tightened his embrace, resting his forehead just above Vivienne's brows, whispering tenderly, "Looking at my Vivienne." My Vivienne.

Few words in the world could send Vivienne's heart fluttering quite like those.

She felt as if she had plunged into a pool of spring water, her entire being drenched in its soothing embrace.

Their gazes locked, neither willing to take a step closer.

Vivienne watched as Karen pulled Rex aside and, with a swift kick, sent him sprawling.

"If you don't spill the beans on all those toxins you've been cooking up over the years, you might as well forget about talking ever again."

Karen had zero tolerance for her underlings causing trouble.

If she had known Rex was actually Brody, she would have cut him down long ago!

Vivienne pursed her lips, conceding that when it came to inner strength, her mom was unbeatable.
