Entwined With the Villainous Guardian
Chapter 70: Shame

Chapter 70: Shame

Viviana didn’t know what the completion of the marriage ceremony is. But she felt violated by the sudden presence of people inside the room when she was bare naked.

Viola was the one who started speaking with a fake smile on her face. "The elders of the family have to check..."

"Kastello!!!" Viviana shouted for Leander

She didn’t know whether he was in on it or not. She was not willing to trust Viola. And what do they have to check when she is naked?

That milky-eyed guy was pulling the duvet and Viviana clutched the duvet closer to her cheek. Although Evander and Barnabas were staying out of the room, their eyes were on her waiting for the duvet to drop.

She tried her best to hold on to the duvet, but the thin guy’s strength was greater than hers. He pulled the duvet and threw it on the floor. Viviana hugged herself to protect her modesty. She couldn’t believe what was happening around her.

"Leander!!!" She shouted, again.

He could very well be pretending to not hear her. He might be conspiring with his mother to humiliate her. Even she didn’t know why she was calling for him.

She was feeling like she was on fire, naked in the middle of the street with a million eyes on her.

*Bang*

The bathroom door opened, and Leander stepped out wrapping a towel around his waist. He was wet from head to toe as if he stepped right out of the shower.

His eyes ended up on the bed and he grunted seeing Viviana rolled to a ball. His face relaxed seeing his mother there but when he noticed Paul in the room and the other two by the door, he fisted his hands.

"It’s..." Viola stuttered. "It’s nothing odd, Leander," she tried to act normal with a smile.

Viviana peeked out of the comfort of her knees to see how Leander is going to react.

"Then what is it?" Leander asked. His voice was deep and plain as he bent and picked the duvet.

"It’s...It’s tradition. Back then-back in those days, the elders watched as the new couple consummated. But later they relaxed the rule. Now they just check whether the bride really accepted the groom’s..." she gulped as Leander stood in front of her.

Leander cleared his throat. His eyes were calm, and his lips were pressed. If one had to guess his feelings, they’d say he was indifferent.

But was he?

Viola found her stomach turning as she looked into Leander’s eyes. She took a step away from the bed.

Leander cleared his throat. "Groom’s what, mother?" he asked wrapping the duvet around Viviana’s shoulder. "Explain more, mother," his voice was deep and menacing as he turned to look at Viola.

Barnabas and Evander who were by the door scrambled away seeing Leander’s angry glare.

Viviana covered herself in the duvet and rolled down the bed. Leander looked behind him hearing the thump. It was then he noticed the spread of red on the sheets. She was crawling her way to the bathroom.

How did I forget that?

He remembered that day he hurt her. She was bleeding then too and then locked herself in the bathroom for an entire day. Tonight, he was so fulfilled that he forgot that she might be bleeding.

*Click*

The bathroom door locked.

His eyes became more distant as he turned to his mother. He tried to calm down, but he couldn’t. "Is this the reason you barged inside my room in the middle of the night to humiliate her?" He smiled but his eyes didn’t.

Viola gulped. She could say that Leander was unimpressed by what was happening here. Her eyes ended up at the door to look for her eldest, but he was not there. Even the weasel had disappeared.

"You cannot terrorize your family for that woman who is obviously overreacting," Viola gritted her teeth. "I am just following the traditions your grandfather wished for."

Paul seconded Viola. "It’s a tradition of the past for sure. But you know how the don is. I have to ensure that your seed reached her. There is no humiliation factor here."

"Oh, grandpa wanted this?" Leander pressed his lips. "Still, you shouldn’t have entered my room without my permission."

He had a hard time believing that partly because of his mother’s reaction. But what would he know about the traditions?

"I’m sorry about that," Paul bowed his head. Leander is the heir and that makes him his superior. He should respect him.

"You saw the proof on the sheets. Now leave," he pointed at the door.

Paul bowed his head and walked out. Viola followed right behind.

Leander slammed the door shut right after they left the room. His eyes ended up on the bathroom door. He couldn’t hear anything. He could only imagine her curled up in the bathtub crying.

Viviana wanted to cry but out of fear she couldn’t.

Those people just entered the room and pulled the duvet. That woman allowed that to happen! What kind of household is this? How could they do it to someone?

What more will they do?

She remembered Evander standing by the door.

She couldn’t help but wonder if there were cameras inside the room recording. That was one of Evander’s techniques. He would ask women to do disgusting acts on him. He’d blur his face and post them on the internet under the banner of the p*rn company they owned.

How did I not think about that? Is there going to be one with me released soon?

She felt so disgusted at herself for jumping on Leander like that. Now he will have a recording of everything... all the weird noises she made, how she moved on him...Ugh!

Her head hurt so much.

How involved is Leander in all these?

She didn’t know how she would cope if Leander were involved in this by any means. Just because of a tattoo, she surrendered herself to him. But all that time, what were his thoughts?

Leander knocked on the bathroom door. As he expected there was no reply. "Get dressed. We are leaving," he said hoping that would get her attention.

If it is his home, he would be free to do what he wants to do. She will feel a lot more relaxed too.

Viviana walked to the door. She needed her clothes. "My clothes..." she asked opening the door a little.

"One moment," Leander went and picked up the clothes sprawled on the floor. She didn’t sound right.

But then what does he know about her?

Viviana walked out of the bathroom and even when she was dressed, she felt naked.

She looked around the room to see if she could find a hidden camera. She couldn’t. She couldn’t find one in the bathroom either. The bedroom door was slightly ajar, and she could hear the sneers of those men outside.

Leander was not minding them.

"Shall we?" Leander asked and hugging herself she nodded. She couldn’t wait to leave this place. But she was scared to face those men again.
