Vivian was wearing a black cocktail dress and bright yellow heels, and she was beautiful. Stunning, even, and she admired herself in the mirror as she applied a fresh coat of lip gloss.
"Are you ready yet?" Mokuba asked. He sounded just like her brother-in-law when he used that exasperated tone, and it grated on her last nerve when he did. One, because she had wanted to be married to Seto Kaiba then and wanted to be married to him now, and two, because she knew perfectly well that her whirlwind wedding to Mokuba had been due to a fit of petulant rebellion on his part, not any real feeling. He'd wanted a divorce before their honeymoon was over.
Vivian had already decided she would hold on to him as long as she could. She had no chance of winning the real thing, so she might as well keep hold of her knock-off.
"Just a minute, darling. You want me to be pretty enough to show off, don't you?"
"You're already pretty enough."
He was a liar, of course. No doubt he was imagining that trashy Rebecca Hopkins at that very moment. Vivian straightened, slipped the makeup into her purse, along with her pills and her compact and her top-of-the-line Kaiba smartphone, and smiled brightly at him. Maybe she didn't have the right husband, but she was fabulous, and rich, and would make some lucky man a good mistress. She was Vivian Kaiba, and she was going to an amazing party.
"Come on, Mokuba." She linked her arm with him, and he faked a smile for her. "Let's go."
