One couldn't blame the people too much; they were all simply far too used to the cold and detached Viviana Ossara.

From the way Illa had behaved just before his death, it was very obvious that Vivian was feared even more than Mortrex himself.

Mortrex turned his gaze towards his wife, Viviana, his expression turning soft. "You really have to find a way to curb your violent tendencies, Vivi. You're being seen as a psychopath by everyone," he remarked.

"Even you?" Viviana turned and met Mortrex's gaze. Her expression didn't change at Mortrex's words, but instead, she locked her intense gaze as she asked.

Mortrex shook his head. "You are a psychopath; there's no lie there," he said, turning and closing the little distance between them. He placed his hands around her waist, bringing her petite figure closer to him.

Viviana didn't resist, but she didn't react either. Her hands were still placed firmly by her sides, her intense gaze looking up at Mortrex.
