Vivian still couldn't see anything because of the blindfold that kept blocking her view, and that was why she also couldn't see the man's expression at the moment.
She had just turned down the man's silent request, so he probably looked irritated or even angry at her now, right?Vivian didn't even know the man's face, but rich people usually had arrogant faces, and some of them also had bad tempers. That was why Vivian was worried if this man was the same as those men she used to see in Ladder to Paradise.Was the man going to land his big hand on her face hard and mercilessly? Vivian had that kind of worry in her heart, and she could indeed feel a palm on her cheek after she had that thought. However, it was a soft touch and not a slap that greeted her cheek, and that was why she was stunned by it.'Didn't what I said earlier upset this man?' Vivian thought to herself as she waited for what the man would do to her.And it turned outShe was the one on top, and she was the one who had to move her body once the big thing was inside her. But she didn't move at all, and even the hand that was on the man's shoulder trembled when she realized what the man was plotting against her. “P-please don't do that, master! You know that I have a husband, right? If something happens to me because of what we did, I don't know how to explain the situation to him." Vivian begged the man whose face she couldn't even see. The man didn't even say anything, and that only frightened her more. At this time, she wanted to take back all of her positive judgment about the man. She regretted thinking that the man was gentle and not too bad. And even after she dropped all her pride and begged for mercy, the man still didn't respond. The thing inside her was still big and hard, and even if she felt somewhat comfortable having it inside of her, she didn't feel like it would be safe if they didn't use any
She had completely angered the man, and she felt her body violently thrown away, but she was still lucky that her back only hit the soft surface of the mattress. The connection between them down there was severed because of what the man had just done, but it didn't last long as the man immediately hovered above her before once again plunging his massive object into her. He still hadn't put on a condom, and once again he was pushing his hips into the naked girl under him. The man thrust into her again, but this time he used so much more force that every push felt so fast and rushed, and even Vivian's body was pushed so hard that her head finally hit the head of the bed. "ACK!" Vivian screamed in pain, and finally, the man reduced his speed. It seemed the man acted normally once again. Surprisingly, Vivian felt that pain managed to restore the man's rationality, and she once again thought that this man sincerely cared about her. True, the man was mad at h
She didn't even ask for responsibility, and she only asked for the man's identity, but she got nothing in the end. But that was foreseen. If the man had any intention to reveal his identity, then he would have stopped asking her to wear a blindfold. But he didn't do that, did he? He didn't even whisper in answer to Vivian's question, so what could she expect from the man? Vivian felt even more bitterness in her heart after getting no response from the man, and she could only curl her body even more while seeking warmth from herself. Her body was wrapped in a blanket, and she cried bitterly to sleep. She only woke up the next morning. Yes, oddly enough, the man had let her sleep in the penthouse last night instead of kicking her out without saying anything like he had done last week. Should Vivian feel grateful for that? She didn't know, and she was also still a little disoriented when she woke up from her sleep, but then her body was
Even her mother could say such a thing? Vivian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not long ago, Samantha had innocently said that Steen might also have feelings for her, but she just burst out laughing after hearing what the blue-haired girl had told her. This morning her mother had said something similar to her, but she knew that she couldn't just laugh at her mother even though what her mother said sounded ridiculous as well, and that was why she could only smile at the older woman before going to the bathroom. She ended up taking a shower and changing clothes at her mother's house, and the two of them also had breakfast together. Today, she managed to spend more time with her mother because she only left the small house at 11 am. Even if Steen let her leave the mansion until the evening, she somehow didn't want to be away for too long, and that was why she chose to return before noon. Her mother didn't hold back either, saying that she really neede
Turns out she wasn't the only one who had a steamy night last night. Judging from how obvious the kiss marks were on Steen's neck, Vivian was sure he had had a hot night too. It was only one sign, but it was enough to give Vivian a lot of information. 'No wonder he let me leave the mansion. Turns out he also had plans last night,' Vivian thought to herself as she looked at the man standing in front of her. "Do you like it?" Suddenly, Steen asked a question, and it was enough to make Vivian frown in confusion, and she even stopped to think about the kiss mark on the man's neck. "Huh?" In the end, Vivian couldn't even form a proper question, and she just blinked in confusion while muttering a random word in a questioning tone. Steen pointed to the velvet box in Vivian's hand with his chin as he explained his question, "Do you like that necklace?" Finally, Vivian could understand the meaning behind the man's question, and she shifted he
A pair of eyes kept staring at the figure sitting in front of the owner instead of looking at the food on the table. The two of them had been in the cafeteria for more than ten minutes, but the food that had entered their stomachs was very little until now. "Say, Vester," it was Samantha who finally broke the silence between them. “What did that CEO do to you to suddenly become a zombie like this?” Sitting across from Samantha was Vivian, and indeed it was the brunette girl who had caught Samantha's attention ten minutes ago. Perhaps the reason was that Vivian looked like a person who had lost her soul. The girl did bring some of her food to her mouth, but her movements resembled a robot. That's why Samantha even stopped eating and chose to observe her friend. “What makes you think that I became like this because of that man?” Surprised, Vivian asked the blue-haired girl. Even if Samantha often looked like a freak, Vivian k
"Hello?" "Where are you?" "Oh... I... I'm having lunch with my friend right now." Vivian didn't know why, but she finally answered Steen's question with a stutter. It wasn't the first time he had called her, but it was the first time he wanted to know where she was. Steen was an efficient guy, and he would usually get to the point of rushing her around whenever he called. "Go to my office immediately." See? Even if Steen did ask where she was, the black-haired man ended up ordering her around, and Vivian looked speechless when she heard the order. “I still haven't finished eating, and I can't leave my friend suddenly. Can you wait for me a moment?” Hesitating, Vivian tried to bargain even though she could only whisper into the phone now. Currently, Samantha was watching her, and that didn't make Vivian feel safe at all. Sure enough, the blue-haired girl's eyes were full of curiosity, and Vivian actually knew the a
Why had Steen suddenly asked her to come to his office? Vivian wouldn't know the answer before she met that venomous man. She was curious and anxious at the same time, but she finally arrived in front of the CEO's office. The CEO's secretary was at her desk today, but instead of greeting her, the woman just glared at her. Why did Vivian expect the young lady to greet her? Her first impression of the secretary wasn't great, and it seemed the secretary held the same opinion of her, that was the reason why the young lady acted as if she didn't see her arriving in front of the CEO's office. However, Vivian didn't care about the secretary. When she glanced at her cellphone screen, she could see that she only had five minutes, which was why she immediately moved towards the door before using her knuckles to knock on it. She could faintly hear Steen letting her in, which was why she carefully turned the doorknob before opening the door. At this time, she notic
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.
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
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
“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.
"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
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.”
