Natalie tried to fight smiling so she wouldn't let it show how much she was enjoying this moment. She couldn't wait to see Vivienne's reaction to the truth being out.
Vivienne should have never thought it would be so easy to get rid of her friends.
Natalie enjoyed the way Darius held her so intently as they walked together. With Darius fully accepting the child, Natalie was a little less concerned about her safety.
Upon exiting the room, Natalie glanced at her brother and Juliana, who still lingered around. As promised, she would find a place for her brother to be in the palace, followed by her father.
Natalie acknowledged Juliana for a moment. Juliana smiled like all her problems had been solved, and for a moment, they would be.
"It surprised me that you would pick Juliana over me. Is she wonderful company?" Natalie asked.
