Her Trust

Leander was shocked by the indifference in her tone. If she knew about the Vitale family, she should know what they do to the women they mark. Considering her aversion to pain and humiliation, she should be trembling with fear right now. 

Why is she not?

Not that he was unhappy with her reaction, but he was confused. 

"Do you know what happens when they mark a woman?" he asked. 

Maybe she doesn't know the whole details about that family. 

"I know. They force them in front of their husbands and record it… recently the daughters-in-law of some family became their victims," Viviana nuzzled into his chest. "I wish you were a little soft here…" she mumbled. It felt like leaning on a rock.
