Chapter: CHAPTER 28(Vivian's POV).I saw the woman chuckle as she placed her hand on Kai's chest. She whispered something into his ear, then, without hesitation, started leaning in, clearly intending to sit on his lap.Without thinking, I grabbed Kai's wrist and pulled him towards me. "Excuse me, but this man is with me!" my voice was firm, louder than I expected.The woman turned to me with a raised eyebrow. "With you?" She laughed mockingly. "Honey, everyone can have fun here. Kai doesn't mind, does he?"Kai didn't answer, just stared at both of us with a flat expression, as if he didn't care how the situation developed. It just made me even more annoyed."I don't like sharing, so get out of my way," I said sharply.The woman didn't give up. "Why share when we can enjoy it together?" She smiled wryly, clearly provoking me.I clenched my fists, trying to hold back my temper, but this woman was really testing my patience. I picked up my drinking glass and, without thinking, poured the contents into

Chapter: CHAPTER 26(Vivian's POV)I stepped into the bar after getting off the taxi, adjusting my eyes to the dim lighting filled with red and blue neon lights. Loud music filled the room, mixing with the sounds of laughter, boisterous conversation, and clinking glasses. The cacophony made me a little dizzy, but I walked in anyway, searching for Kai among the sea of people.I zipped up my jacket, feeling uncomfortable with the overcrowded atmosphere. I forgot to ask him where his whereabouts was in this bar.People were dancing on the dance floor, some couples were busy kissing in the corner, while others were sitting at the bar with their drinks.I took a deep breath, trying to stay focused on finding Kai. Well, I didn't like this situation. Never. If it wasn't about my problems, I wouldn't come here.As I walked through the crowd, suddenly a man stood in front of me, blocking my way. He looked drunk, with a lopsided smile that was clearly impolite."Hey, beautiful. Alone?" he asked, his voice hea

Chapter: CHAPTER 26(Kai’s POV)I just finished the last meeting of the day. My client this time turned out to be too much of a perfectionist, even for small things. But the result was satisfactory, and the contract was signed properly.As I head to my car, my cell phone vibrates. Willem's name is on the screen. I picked it up as I walked to the large window overlooking the city."Any good news?" I asked directly.I don't like beating around the bush, and of course, I knew that he was contacting me for information."Yes. I just got out of the courthouse. The divorce papers are being processed, and... it looks like we can salvage the assets in Vivian's name," Willem explained, his voice sounding more enthusiastic than usual.I frowned. "Good job, Willem. And then how?""There was a loophole in Adrian's asset transfer process. We found strong indications of embezzlement. And more interestingly... the embezzlement came from Adrian's mother's account, but the funds originated from Vivian."I turned around,

Chapter: CHAPTER 25(Vivian’s POV)I twirled the spatula and smiled with satisfaction as the aroma of garlic and butter filled the kitchen.The chicken I'd mixed with rosemary and lemon was now golden on the pan, its skin beginning to crisp.In the next pot, the fettuccine pasta was almost perfectly cooked, ready to be topped with the mushroom cream sauce I'd made from scratch.It's not too complicated, but it's enough to show a little care. At least I didn't let him starve after... What happened this morning?"It's like he never looks really tired. Last night we did, then this morning and... after he came back from his morning run... he really looked fit and energetic."I couldn't lie to myself that I was lulled by the charisma he showed unintentionally. If I'm being honest, maybe this liking is already in the middle stage, but I don't know how it will end, I'm just resigned."Damn it, Vivian! Focus on your goals! Take back your assets and get a divorce from your bastard husband!" I reminded myself agai

Chapter: CHAPTER 24(Vivian’s POV)"What are you looking at?" asked Kai in his husky voice that was still laced with the remnants of that intimacy.I looked down, realising how long I had been staring at his face without saying anything.Our bodies were still entwined, my skin pressed against his chest that was warm and damp with sweat. My hands wrapped around his neck, while my hair fell messily over his shoulders.I was on top of him, still holding him tightly as if I was afraid he would disappear. But of course I didn't want to show those feelings."Your face," I replied softly, then smiled a little. "I don't usually get to see you from this angle."Kai chuckled softly. "You sound like an artist observing the object of her painting.""Maybe," I replied teasingly. But actually... There was something else that had been occupying my mind for some time. Something that I haven't had the chance to ask yet, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to hold back as my curiosity grows."Kai," I called softly.

Chapter: CHAPTER 23(Vivian’s POV)This time I woke up again from sleep after Kai and I had morning sex in the kitchen. Even though it's still fairly early, it seems like I was exhausted after that, so I fell asleep again.It's just that I don't remember how he ended up taking me to the room again, but it seems like it just happened when lust was all I thought about."Where is he?" I looked to my side, where I didn't see Kai.I thought he went to sleep after that, but he wasn't there. I don't know where he went, so I got out of bed, put on his oversized white plain T-shirt with socks to keep me warm because it was cold.I tied my hair up randomly and walked out of the room, looking around for him.His penthouse was too big for me, because when I tried to find him, I didn't find him. I didn't know where he was going this morning. Because I could see his car out there.I then stood in the middle of the deserted living room, which really emphasised my existence alone.The cool morning air brushed against my
