If you blame the victim, then you stand for the perpetrator. — "You say a word and I'll step back. Tell me not to touch you," Louis murmured, his own control slipping as he admitted to his profound yearning for her touch. "Get away from me," she managed to whisper. "Mean it, Verena," he persisted, the insistence in his voice urging her to make a definitive choice. His hand advanced, inching closer to her neck, his touch lingering there momentarily before retreating, a delicate dance of desire. For a second, silence hung heavy in the air, pregnant with unspoken tension. Then, as if her inner turmoil had reached its peak, the words spilled from her lips. "I fucking hate you," she spat out. Without further hesitation, Verena surged forward, her hand finding its way to the back of his neck.

"Nic..." Juliette shut her mouth when she heard the announcement. She had to go and perform her speech.

"It's time." She informed.

"I have a feeling our paths will cross again," Nicholas remarked.

Juliette's response was casual. "I can't say I'm eagerly anticipating that." With that, she headed towards the door, pausing momentarily.

Without looking back, she issued a warning over her shoulder. "You know better than to follow me out right now, Mr. Vandeleur. The consequences will be on you." With that final statement, she closed the door behind her, leaving Nicholas to silently groan in frustration.

Nicholas sighed, knowing that Juliette was not one to be underestimated. He watched her leave, a sense of admiration mixed with unease in his heart. He couldn't shake the feeling that their encounter was far from over.
