Villains also get Second chance

Chapter 135: when would you marry Dami

The girl kept shouting like a banshee until she was out of sight, my family looked at me with worry and I looked at Killian whose eyes were following Isabella. I wish I could do something to keep him away from this hurt. It felt like I lost even when I won.

I felt Damien's hands on my shoulder and I gave him a small smile, people would think now i was playing a victim card, but Killian's care for Isabella still hurt my heart.

"Are you okay, son?" I asked once Isabella was taken from there.

Killian sighed and then nodded, "I am good, mother." I knew he was not, but I could only nod at that time.

"So, Olivia, do you that you will lose job today.'' I asked the girl who was still standing there blankly, as if she could not see anything around her.

My words jolted her and she jumped up from her place holding her chest, I raised a brow, was my voice that scary?

"Your highness" she bowed as she greeted me again.

"Did you  hear what i said?" biased and she nodded then she shook her head and then nodded again biting her lips.

Damien chuckled and I closed my eyes, what a unique girl she was!

"I asked, do you know you have lost your job?" I asked again with some patience and she furrowed her bores.

"But you have already paid for the dress, your highness, that is also more than its price."  she added and i nodded, though i felt bad, parting with extra coins, it was necessary to maintain the image.

"But Isabella, wouldn't leave you, she will make sure you will bear the consequences of today. The manager would fire you so that his boutique will not be involved in this mess." i added and she bit her lips hard, that even blood started to seep out.

"What can you do?" I asked if she could be a talented person to start with.

"I can design, sew and do embroidery." she added, bowing her head.

"Good, I have a job for you, come with me." I added and she looked at me shocked but then nodded her head again and again.

"Have you chosen anything mother?" I asked and she shook her head.

"We were all busy in watch a spectacular show, you were showing us.'' It was only then that I realized that most of the staff, customers and crowd on the road were collected there and watching me. I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead. that was not something i was expecting.

"It's alright, at least you have chosen a good dress." said my mother looking at the dress in my hand.

"Oh, this is for Rosellia, mother. Since she was not able to try anything" i added and she smiled,

"come then help me choose one, too.'' I nodded but my eyes felt on the cowering girl who was trying to merge into the background.

"Olivia"

"Yes.. yes your highness" she was like a scared bunny in front of predators, ready to run away with a single sound.

"Olivia, why don't you help my mother in choosing a dress for a royal party, according to her colour and body structure." I asked her, it was the best way to check her skills. I had already made an image of my unique jewels in the last party. Now I could use my anniversary party as the chance to leave a strong impression about the dresses and my mother and Roselia could be the one to represent it.

"Yes, your highness"

She walked into the store and my mother raised a brow.

"You know women are not allowed to work darling." she said and i sighed, i knew she would easily deduce my intentions for my actions these days.

"It is time to change the society mother, many nations out there are even getting freedom from monarchs, I just want a few rights for women." i said and she covered my mouth from her hands, afraid that someone would listen to us.

"I know you are hurt, Mari. But never forget that you were the one who chose Cassius, even when he had a child, and now you're the one who chose Killian to be your son."

"We have always supported you mostly, not because your decisions were right, but I want you to live with no regrets. I could have forced you to marry Dami, but I didn't do it, because then you would have continued to love Cassius and destroyed his life."

"Now rebelling, shouting, creating drama everywhere, do you think is that right? Once again I will not stop you, but if you fell in the deeper pit then you already are then it would break your father's heart much more."

"And have you ever thought about the child whose responsibility have you taken?" She chided and then without waiting for my reply she went back and sat with Killian.

Dami came and put a hand on my shoulders, "she is just worried about you." he consoled and I nodded.

"When would you marry Dami?" I asked, though I never wanted to interfere but my mother's words made me realise that I was still guilty for his condition.

He looked at me with widened eyes and then bit his lip. His eyes went to check the scrutiny and when he was my mother was busy with Killian, he held my hand and took me to the other corner, 

I furrowed my brows when he came closer that his breath was touching my skin, it suddenly made me felt very uncomfotrtable.

But when he started whispering into my ears, I was stunned. I even forgot the proximity we were sharing as my eyes widened, I just wanted to slap him for now, but then I controlled, and let him finish the matter.

At the end, he just dusted his clothes and left from there, leaving me alone shocked still.

"Mother, we have to go now."
