A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 548

"When your wife was kidnapped, you promised all of Finnor Group's client data to them in exchange. Tell me if this wasn't the case!" the pirate challenged.

Vivian's hand flew to her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock. How could that be? Did Finnick really expose all of Finnor Group's client data because of me?

Vivian stood where she was holding her breath; her body quivering slightly, her ears keenly tuned for Finnick's reply. Vivian was in shock. How is this possible? However, Finnick's reply never came. The pirate's voice, on the other hand, increased in volume and rage.

"Your silence speaks for itself. You're really something, Finnick. Your wife's life is important, but what about the rest of the stockholders? Did you think about anyone else? Did you think about the consequences that your actions would have on all of us?

I'm a firm believer in retribution. An eye for an eye! You should have expected some kind of payback for your heinous deed. Today on behalf of everyone who suffered because of you, I'm going to give you b*stard the punishment you deserve...”

Vivian was now persuaded that in order to rescue her five years ago, Finnick had readily sacrificed his own business and future.

She grappled with the feelings that were bubbling up within her. They left her feeling bewildered. The memory of Finnick caressing her as she slept in the hospital bed rose unbidden to Vivian's mind.

He must have been exhausted from everything that he was dealing with at work. Then, he had to go to the hospital to care forme. Yet Finnick had never breathed a word of this to Vivian. Was he afraid that I'd feel guilty because of that?

Tears sparkled in Vivian's eyes and threatened to spill over. She was undeniably moved. Finnick had given up so much for her! So hewas sincere, after all...

"Vivian, let's go! Otherwise, it'll really be too late," Hunter urged. He felt an overwhelming instinct to knock her unconscious and haul her along with him at the rate she was holding them back. We're on the brink of death! What else is there to think about?

Although Vivian still couldn't quite forgive Finnick for what he had done to herself and Larry, neither could she steel herself to walk away without intervening in Finnick's time of trouble.
