"H-How did you..." Vivian William stammered as her lips trembled. Before she could finish her sentence, Fabian Norton stomped up to her and held her by her shoulders.
"It's not important at all how I found out about it!" Fabian was even more incensed as Vivian did not deny her marriage to Finnick, which meant that it was not fake news. "Why didn't you tell me about it? What will you get from hiding your marriage from me?"
Fabian recalled the time he brought Vivian to meet Finnick and introduced Vivian to his uncle. Fabian figured they must have had a good laugh about his ignorance about their current relationship.
Vivian couldn’t stand the crushing grip of Fabian on her shoulders anymore. She howled, "Fabian Norton! Please chill the hell down! I didn't intend to hide my marriage from you. It's you who have never asked me about it in the first place!"
Fabian noticed the grimace on Vivian's face and realized he was hurting her. Immediately, his steam died down.
He let go of Vivian in an instant and staggered as he fell onto the sofa. He dug his fingers into his hair and hugged his head while he muttered, "Why did you marry Finnick? Why did you cheat on me two years ago?"
Vivian could feel her heart ache seeing Fabian in that wretched state.
Until now, she could still remember the young man in a white T-shirt who would deliver breakfast to her doorsteps every day with a big grin and two shallow dimples on his cheeks. In front of her dorm, the boy would shout out loud, "Good morning, Vivian William!"
Vivian wondered how did her relationship with that cheerful boy came to this.
Vivian bit her lips as she tried to hold back her tears.
