161. THE WOUND ON HER LIP
Last Updated:
2023-03-16 14:00:02Even if Vivian had to get up early today, it was a good way to start the day, and that was why she returned to the mansion with a small smile on her face. Dahl's mansion had a tight security system, and she was sure it would be okay to leave the new scooter in front of the huge building. The mansion was surrounded by tall gates, which was why she didn't need to take the scooter to the garage.
'I'm going to ride the scooter to visit my mom today, and therefore I won't have to take it to the garage,' she thought as she brought her feet towards the stairs.Originally, she planned to visit her mother later at noon. Maybe they would have lunch together, and they would also have a casual chat together. But after seeing the new scooter, Vivian had a sudden urge to try riding it, and that was why she wanted to see her mother this morning.When she finally reached the stairs, she couldn't immediately bring her feet up because someone suddenly called her name.Related chapters
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 162. ENOUGH, MORE, LESS
Vivian didn't know whether she should be grateful or worried when Steen didn't say anything about the cut on her lower lip. She met the man again when she returned to the bedroom, but the man was busy with his phone and didn't even glance at her, and that was why Vivian was able to secretly heave a sigh of relief. It seemed Steen was busy with something, and the man didn't even care when she mentioned that she was going to the library to do an assignment today. Of course, that was just a lie since she actually just wanted to visit her mother, but since the man was indeed too busy with whatever he was doing on his cell phone, he carelessly nodded his head before waving his hand to ask her to leave the bedroom. Indeed, Vivian didn't know whether to feel grateful or worried. She expected the man would ask her about last night's 'birthday party,' but he didn't say anything as if he had forgotten about it, and it was quite confusing for Vivian though it was a good thi

Nothing to worry about at this point. Last night, he had successfully resolved the problem that had been weighing heavily on his shoulders for the past month. His father doubted him, and many people turned their backs on him. However, he managed to handle everything, and the dark clouds no longer blocked his view. Actually, he was also cunning when he tried to counter Hans's attacks. The new product his company had prepared in the last three years was exactly the same as the one in N-HANS's plan which was released to the public to prove that DAHL had indeed stolen their idea. It was his long-awaited product, and that's why he didn't want to lose so easily just because of Hans's attack. Even when his father said he should give up, he chose to do otherwise. In the end, he successfully launched his product, and he was also able to counter Hans's attacks smoothly. It was because he was sly enough to modify the product at the last moment. Thankfull

Vivian felt bad today. She knew that her mother didn't mean to complain, but she also knew that her mother felt lonely when she had to live alone in that small house. To this day, the doctors still required her mother to stay in bed rather than tour around on her own, which was why Tommy's hired caretaker, Amanda, was still working for them even after her mother was no longer in the hospital. Amanda would come to the house in the morning and leave at night, and that was probably enough to make her mother feel less lonely. But Vivian still felt bad about it. She was her mother's daughter, and she should be the one to take care of her mother, but she couldn't even do that now. With her guilt slowly eating her from within, Vivian continued to sigh heavily, and someone sitting next to her looked distracted as they immediately reprimanded her, "You asked me to come here so I could hear how you're sighing nonstop, Vester? Oh! Maybe I should call you Mrs. Dahl

Several days passed, and Vivian was quite thankful that nothing bad had happened to her these few days. Steen hadn't come home since he gave her the yellow scooter, and she didn't even wonder why the man didn't show up at the mansion at all. 'I guess he's just busy with the mass production of the new product,' she thought to herself, but she refused to think about it any further as she just shrugged calmly in the end. She and Steen weren't a real couple, and that was why the two of them didn't text each other when they were running late or couldn't even come home one day. They saved each other's numbers on their phones, but neither of them would contact the other over such trivial matters. Vivian also laughed again when she recalled Samantha's words about how her husband might have had feelings for her. She could see that Samantha wasn't a naive person, but the girl could still think foolishly, and that was why Vivian even laughed out loud when the two

“He's just another crazy person in my life,” Vivian muttered to herself after the phone call with Rose ended, and she sighed heavily before leaning her body against the balcony railing. She had slept with the man twice, and she was indeed the one receiving his services. Unlike the other customers who sometimes had special requests she had to fulfill, the man didn't ask her to do anything during their activity. Of course, the man definitely wouldn't ask her for anything because he wouldn't even open his mouth to talk to her. With that thought in mind, Vivian assumed that everything would be the same even if she continued becoming that man's slave. She thought she just needed to come to the man and accept whatever the man would do to her, but she was wrong because the man even had that kind of special request for her. But of course, the man didn't directly tell her the request, and he even used Rose's mouth to convey the request to her. “He can
Last Updated : 2023-03-19I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 167. THE CEO'S SLAVE
Steen Dahl, who was a perfectionist, loved to cause trouble for other people. How he said that he didn't want to see the wrinkles on his clothes was like a death warning to Vivian, and that was why she didn't even use any bags to store the clothes when she brought them to the man's office. Instead, she just put those clothes on hangers, and now she looked more like a stylist for some celebrity than a wife. She rolled her eyes as the word "wife" crossed her mind. Sure enough, it was the mere status with no meaning, but maybe other people didn't think the same way. Just like when she finally arrived at the company building and went to the front desk, the girl behind the counter was the same one she had met the first time she visited the building, which was why she could immediately recognize her as Steen's wife. The girl behind the counter smiled broadly at her before confidently saying that Steen was waiting for her in his office. So, Steen even informed the emplo

"Oh? You are the wife of our CEO? I'm pretty sure you did something to our CEO that he finally agreed to marry a boring girl like you." "..." Vivian just received another humiliation, but this time it wasn't from Tommy. After being humiliated by Tommy, she couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh before continuing to walk towards the CEO's office, but she couldn't directly knock on the door because the CEO's secretary was sitting behind her desk in front of the CEO's office today. Vivian politely greeted her, and she also said her intentions, but that was what she received from the young woman. She wouldn't say that the woman looked bad, but she would say that the woman was shameless. DAHL Electronics was a large company and had had a great reputation for many years. But, their employees didn't even have enough money to buy a proper dress? When Vivian looked at the CEO's secretary, she could see how the woman was wearing very little to
Last Updated : 2023-03-20I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 169. ARE YOU JEALOUS?
Vivian expected Steen would continue to question her about his secretary. He had an affair with that woman named Debby, right? Even that shameless woman had admitted that to her face, and she thought the black-haired man would continue talking about that because he seemed to be interested. Who would have thought Steen would ask her about her hair instead? She did cut her hair in a hurry before she went to the company. She couldn't stand the thought of her looking like Elena Vester, and that was why she just wanted to get rid of her longer hair quickly. But Vivian didn't expect that the first thing Steen noticed about her was how she cut her hair. Even Tommy didn't notice any difference in her, and that was why she was taken aback after hearing Steen's question. "Yes," Vivian carefully answered the man's question. “Recently, I feel more comfortable with short hair, and that's why I decided to cut my hair before coming here.” Vivian didn't plan

A name. It was not just a group of letters used to address someone so they would turn to the caller and not ignore the caller. A name had a deeper meaning than that. A name was used to identify a person, used to distinguish someone from other individuals. A name would always stick with a person from the time they were born until the day they last breathed, and even at their final resting place, their name would also be written or engraved to let everyone know that the body buried underground belonged to the owner of the name. A name was indeed an important part of one's life, and that was why one would not feel happy if someone called them by the wrong name. Perhaps that was also the reason why Vivian had returned to wearing a wedding dress today. It was still the same wedding dress she wore months ago when she officially became Steen's wife, but because she was using someone else's name then, she and Steen decided to have another wedding ceremony to announce to everyone that it was

Their next stop was the penthouse at the Golden Roof Apartments, and it might also be their last stop. Only three people entered the penthouse after Elena was sent to her family's residence. After Lily and her family were arrested by the police, the house was empty, and that's why Elena lived there temporarily. Yes, only temporarily because Elena planned to move after finding a suitable place to live. Vivian had actually invited her to move in with her and Sarah in the small house, but Elena rejected the idea, saying that she didn't want to disturb the two of them and that Sarah might be uncomfortable if she joined them to live in the cramped house. Vivian said that Sarah wouldn't feel that way because that woman also wanted to meet Elena and wanted to live with her too, but Elena still resisted the idea. In the end, Vivian only said that she would try to find a bigger house, and if that could happen, the three of them might be able to move in together.
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 302. SMALLER BUT WARMER
Someone was standing in the middle of the mansion's stairs. With teary eyes, he looked at the people standing in the living room one by one. His eyes were not only filled with tears, but the two of them were also filled with fear and confusion. He looked lost and lonely even if he wasn't alone in the big building. Maybe the adults in the living room kept talking about Stanley before, but they probably forgot that the kid was also in the mansion the whole time, and they also weren't aware of the possibility that the innocent boy had heard everything from the second floor. But maybe Steen was aware of the possibility, but he simply didn't care at all. That was why he looked away from the boy before saying, "Let's go." Both words were aimed at Vivian and Elena, like how he had suggested the three of them leave the mansion immediately. But neither Vivian nor Elena moved from their positions even after hearing the order, and they both focused their

Steen somehow could not directly answer his father's question this time. He was still grinding his teeth to suppress his anger, but no words could come out of his mouth at this moment. Recalling the disgusting memory, he remembered how he did not find any used condoms in the hotel room, and it was easy to tell that he had done it without any protection the night before. He wasn't even sure if it was because he couldn't think straight when he did it or maybe it was Kate's intention, but he was sure there weren't any used condoms in the hotel room at the time. He wasn't stupid, and that was why he could see the possibility of her being pregnant after they had a such activity that night, and it was also the reason why he hated that kid called Stanley so much. Even if he didn't try to find evidence that Stanley was indeed his son, he could see the similarities the boy had with him, and it had the power to terrify him. Because of that, he had alway
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 300. THE DISGUSTING MEMORY
Kate had been dragged from the mansion by the police, and even the man named Peter had also been caught by the police. Hence, only four people were left in the living room after Marlon also left the place. There were only Steen, Stefan, Vivian, and Elena in the living room. Everyone still ignored the presence of plush sofas in the living room as they preferred to remain standing rather than sitting comfortably. They all even continued to stand like statues. Even Steen who previously looked the calmest of them, now looked shaken after hearing what Kate proudly said before being dragged away by the police. "I always knew that the child was not mine," Stefan muttered breaking the tense silence in the living room. “I always knew about it, but I didn't expect the child to be yours, Steen. How are you going to explain it to me? Do you like your stepmother? You have treated her coldly all along, but you even got her pregnant with your child. I didn't expect yo
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 299. HE'S OUR SON
“Recently, that bitch doesn't dare to touch her phone because her phone is haunted by my mother, right? Ah! Even her fear should be enough to tell that she was scared because she had done something to my mother in the past, but I know that such a thing wouldn't be enough to prove that she was indeed a criminal. That's why I focused on finding something on her phones that were ignored by her out of fear in the past week. On one of her cellphones, I found enough evidence to land her in jail.” When everyone was speechless, it was Steen who continued to speak. Turns out that was his real plan. He didn't plan to pressure Kate so she would kill herself just like his mother did years ago, but he just wanted her to ignore her cell phone so he would get a chance to touch it. Yesterday Kate left the mansion without her cell phone, and Steen took the opportunity to look for more evidence in the cell phone. Finally, he found what he was looking for in one of her cell phones.
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 298. KATE'S AFFAIR
"SHUT UP! DON'T TALK NONSENSE IN MY HOUSE!" Kate immediately shouted at Peter, but even her voice sounded unsteady as she looked nervous as hell. Her voice was shaking, her pupils were trembling, and even her breathing was ragged. All eyes suddenly fell on the blonde woman, and it was finally Stefan who opened his mouth to respond to the woman, "Are you sure what he said was just nonsense?" Stefan also looked surprised after hearing what Peter had just said, but he still had time to ask the woman that question. At this moment, the woman no longer glared at the kneeling man, and instead, she stiffly shifted her gaze to Stefan. Stefan was her husband, and he was known for his strict and assertive personality. Many people were afraid of him, even Kate was afraid of him before they got married years ago. But today she somehow looked scared again when she had to face the old man even if the man was her spouse. “D-don't listen to what that

Steen had revealed everything. He had disclosed how Vivian and Elena were actually part of a family living far away from Haston City, but Elena was kidnapped by Lily and her husband two decades ago. At that time, the twins' parents died in a car accident, and little Vivian was found by a couple after the incident, and she was raised by the couple into adulthood. Steen deliberately did not mention how Sarah had purposely taken Vivian as her daughter instead of returning the child to her relatives, nor did he mention the name of the family Vivian and Elena came from. He didn't think that the information was necessary, and that's why he kept it a secret. And maybe Stefan really didn't need that information, and the story Steen had just uncovered had shocked the old man enough. His pair of eyes widened as he looked at the twins, but he still didn't say anything as he still couldn't overcome his shock. Steen could see how his father was stunned by
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 296. THE CULPRIT
It was Marlon who had just entered the mansion, but this time he was not alone. His hand was holding another person's arm, and that person's hands were tied with a rope behind his back. After arriving at the living room, Marlon forced the person to kneel in front of the five people. One person looked confident after seeing the person's appearance in the living room, while three other people looked shocked and confused, then one person looked scared as her eyes widened when she saw the person who had just arrived in the living room with Marlon. "So, he's the person, Marlon?" It was Steen who looked confident upon seeing the person's arrival in the living room, and although his question was directed at Marlon, his eyes were glued to the figure kneeling in front of him. “Yes, sir,” Marlon immediately answered his boss's question. “His name is Peter Ford, and he works in a bar in town. He's the one who posted that anonymous article about you, sir.”
