"Nobody said anything."
"I was just feeling sentimental. If I hadn't let Caleb drink that night, maybe he'd still be your good little assistant."
Vivienne's expression visibly tensed. Her spine went rigid, and the words tumbled out before she could stop them.
"Adrian, how could I possibly keep him as an assistant forever? He was clumsy and useless. Why, did someone say something to you?"
I let out a dry laugh, bracing myself against the wall as I made my way slowly toward the bedroom. My hand was clenched around the phone, around the message Caleb had just sent me.
"Adrian, you want to know what Vivienne says about you? The great young master of the Caldwell family, worse in bed than a nightclub escort."
"Oh, and to prove her devotion to me, every time you stripped down and tried to seduce her, she made sure to video-call me. I figured I shouldn't let it go to waste, so I set up a livestream. Over a million viewers tuned in. Everyone agreed you really know how to put on a show."
Vivienne, if you betray me, I will never let it go. I will make sure you pay for every last thing.
I deleted every message in silence. No confrontation. No screaming.
