Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1672

Desiree thought Skyler had learned the truth from Zavier—that she wasn't his girlfriend at all—and was just trying to rile her up.

Desiree couldn't stand it. With a glance that could freeze hell itself, she signaled her wing-woman, "Allie, handle it."

Allie, ever the loyal sidekick, stepped forward, her hand poised to deliver a slap that would ring through the halls. But Skyler, quick as a cat, caught Allie's wrist mid-air. "What do you think you're doing?"

The two hadn't expected such a burst of strength from Skyler, who always seemed as if a strong breeze could knock her over. They were momentarily stunned.

Allie looked to Desiree for direction, and with a subtle nod, Desiree ordered her to back off.

Once they were alone, Desiree's eyes bore into Skyler like icicles. "Do you know that I could have you kicked out of Capital College?"d2

Skyler bit her lip, refusing to back down under Desiree's glacial stare.

Desiree continued, her voice dripping with venom. "With just a flick of my finger, not only could I have you tossed out on your ear, but I could also ensure you leave a legacy—a scandal that will be the talk of every dorm room and dining hall."

Skyler was timid, not a fan of stirring up trouble, but she wasn't foolish. She knew the Rivera family had orchestrated her public speaking alongside Zavier at the opening ceremony. Regardless of Zavier's acceptance or the Rivera family's opinion of her, to those in the know, she was the fiancée chosen for Zavier by Hudson himself.

As Zavier had said the night before, by wearing the title of his fiancée, she represented him. And how many in the Capital would dare touch her? "You go ahead and try. Don't come crying to me when it backfires."

Fuming, Desiree clenched her teeth. "Fine, let the games begin."

If Zavier were to go public with Skyler's status, revealing her as his fiancée, Desiree wouldn't dare lay a finger on her. But currently, only a handful at the college were privy to this fact.

Desiree could easily find a few thugs to ruin Skyler's future.
