Chapter 37 Rosalie returned to the dining room and saw that both the Grahams and Julian were already seated at the t table .
Helenas seat was the one Rosalie had always occupied before her marriage the spot that had always belonged to her in Graham Villa .
Rosalie couldnt help but think .
Even though Im married now , no one can take my place .
She walked up to Helena , her gaze unwavering as it fell on her .
Helena , sensing the weight of Rosalies stare , looked up at her with a soft , almost hesitant expression , asking in a quiet voice , Rosalic , whats wrong ? Despite the burning hatred Helena harbored for Rosalie , despite the fantasy of seeing her torn apart alive , there was one thing she feared above all -crossing Julian .

She dared not show a single ounce of disdain in his presence .
All Helena could do now was hope Julian would eventually see through Rosalies facade and grow disgusted with her .
Get up .
This is my seat .

She glared at Rosalie , her pride stung by Rosalies proud , unapologetic stance .
Finally , unable to hold back ..
Helena spoke up , Rosalie .
Im used to sitting next to Dad .
Theres an empty seat over there .
You can sit there .

Helenas seat was to the left of Edward , a position she had always considered somewhat special .
While these days there wasnt a strict hierarchy in seating like in the old days of nobility , where the placement at the table reflected ones social standing .
Helena still believed that sitting here made her feel superior to Rosalie She had lost so many battles to Rosalie already , and she wasnt about to lose this one too .
Rosalie stood before her , arms crossed over her chest , towering above her as if to emphasize the power she still wielded in this house .
This seat has always been mine .
