Bride By Choice Chapter 2: The Proposition

Chapter 2: The Proposition

- Private lounge, Kingston Corp Headquarters -

Vivian sat in the quiet lounge, legs crossed, every inch the polished socialite she once was. But inside, she was unraveling.

The door opened behind her, and she turned expecting Serena.

But it wasn’t her sister.

It was him.

Tall.

Immaculately dressed. Ice-blue eyes that swept over her like a blade.

Nikolai Vetrova.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(flat) You’ve made quite a mess.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(hard) Excuse me?

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(dry) Running away.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

Ruining your sister’s reputation.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

Disgracing your family. Impressive list.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(cold) I didn’t ask for your opinion.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(low) You will ask for more than that.

She rose, glaring at him, but his stare didn’t waver.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(quiet) What do you want?

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(hard) To fix this. On my terms.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(timid) And what… exactly… are your terms?

He stepped closer, his presence suffocating, his voice a dangerous whisper.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(low) Marry me. Tonight.

Vivian’s breath hitched and for the first time, she realized this was no rescue.

This was a deal with the devil.

To be continued....
