Ryan's POV
Any other day, Ryan would not have been able to stomach Vivian staring at him with fear in her eyes. Upon seeing her looking at him like that, he would have immediately tried to take the anger out of his voice. To make sure that she knew not to be terrified of him. But he was currently too mad to care. How dare she think so lowly of herself! Even worse, how dare she even say it.
"Take those words back and do not ever repeat them. I will not have you talking down about yourself. Especially when comparing yourself to that witch. What you have just said is the most ridiculous thing ever. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on both inside and out, Vivian Rose," Despite his displeased tone, Ryan reached out and gently wiped away her tears. Tenderly cradling her face before he let her go and continued speaking.
