After they exchanged vows, they exchanged rings, and after they exchanged rings, they kissed.
Yes, they KISSED!
Vivian had to let the man kiss her in front of so many pairs of eyes in a large hall after the officiant announced that they were now husband and wife.
For her, kissing wasn't a big deal because she had a lot of experience when her lips were touched by other lips. Her customers at Ladder to Paradise usually kissed her too, some soft, some rough. Even Steen had kissed her once even though the kiss was more like punishment, which was why Vivian let him kiss her one more time in front of the guests.
A month ago, the man had kissed her roughly and bit her lips mercilessly, but today he only pressed his lips against hers for a few seconds before pulling away. It was just a peck, and Vivian didn't even feel anything, but the guests in the spacious hall immediately cheered them on while clapping their hands enthusiastically after witnessing their kiss.
Trigger warning: this chapter contains mild sexual violence....Vivian's body froze, whether from the hot breath right next to her ear or perhaps from the question that came from the man. Or maybe it was because of those two reasons that she failed to move her body at this time.But then she flinched slightly when a large hand suddenly landed on her chest before groping one of her breasts without giving any prior notice. Her breath hitched, but she kept looking at their reflections in the mirror. She could see how Steen's head was still close to hers as the man continued to bend forward, and that was why she could feel how the man's hot breath was very close to the side of her face.She could see in the mirror how the man's right hand kept groping her right breast, and she almost let out a sinful moan when she started feeling pleasure from what the man was doing to her chest.Her pair of blue eyes filled with clouds of lust little
Trigger warning: this chapter contains sexual violence....She never liked it when a man pierced her with his finger. It felt like a small stick was entering her, and it somehow caused her to feel both ticklish and uncomfortable. When it was just a finger, it didn't hurt her, but it didn't give her pleasure either.However, when Steen suddenly used three of his fingers to penetrate her private area down there, she found it very strange that the man's fingers were so slender and straight. It was as if those three fingers were almost the same size as some of the men's weapons down there, and she almost felt that it was a real penis penetrating her hot and wet canal.Steen didn't want to give her time to prepare either. The man quickly used his fingers to screw everything inside the narrow hole, and Vivian started to moan helplessly.Hearing the sinful and honest voice, Steen sneered at the girl, “See? Even if I just use my fing
Her eyes were swollen, her neck was covered in bite marks, and she couldn't even move her body to sit up even though she managed to wake up this morning.Fortunately or unfortunately, she was still alive.She was lying alone in bed with the blanket covering her body. Her blue eyes were fixated on the ceiling, and they were empty as if the soul within her body had left the vessel.Last night, she had managed to climax only because of Steen's long fingers. She had to admit that she was shameless as she was even able to climax after she begged the man to stop. She even cried when feeling the pain caused by the man, but when the man suddenly changed the movement of his fingers inside her, she shamelessly moaned loudly as she reached her climax.It was embarrassing, and as she felt her entire body losing strength after reaching her climax, Steen heartlessly let go of her body, and she would even almost fall to the floor if she couldn't support herself by holdi
Vivian was forced to put on some makeup and also wear a turtleneck when visiting her mother in the hospital. The makeup helped her appear less pale, and the turtleneck covered the marks Steen had left on her neck.However, her mother somehow still noticed that she looked tired and sad, but Vivian just said that it was because of work.She wasn't technically lying because what made her look like a mess today was indeed her 'job.' It was her source of money that put her in a tough situation, and that's why she didn't completely lie to her mother.Her mother also felt sad when she saw her daughter's gloomy appearance, and she said that the young girl should take care of herself more than caring only about her.Vivian just smiled because she didn't even know how to answer, but fortunately, a nurse suddenly came to the ward before telling her that her mother needed to be sent to the operating room, and that was why they both had to stop chatting.At tha
Elena Vester was a university student before she ran away from home, and it had been more than a month since she last attended class. In the contract Vivian signed, she agreed to attend class as Elena.She knew that it would be too risky if she even needed to pretend to be Elena in college, but she couldn't help but feel tempted when she found out that she would be able to go to college if she pretended to be Elena.Vivian always loved to study, and she was also a bright student when she was in high school. She even dreamed of becoming a doctor, and she was actually accepted by one of the medical schools in Barden, but she had to give up her dream when her mother suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money for treatment.Hence, when Vivian saw an opportunity for her to go to college even if she needed to assume another identity, she chose to take the opportunity rather than let it go.Sure enough, she still remembered that when Tommy suddenly asked her th
Vivian had never played golf because that was one of the expensive sports, but she was now in a golf cart that was speeding past a large grass field that resembled a golf course. A driver was driving the golf cart while she sat behind the driver, and she had to keep herself from gasping when she saw the area of Dahl's mansion.It seemed she heard from someone in the past that a house could be called a mansion if it was over 5,000 square feet in size. Even if Vivian couldn't measure it accurately, she could guess that the area of Dahl's mansion was over 10,000 square feet, and when she could finally see a large white building where the car was headed, she could guess that the large building was probably over 6,000 square feet only for the ground floor.She could actually see the massive building now, and it was a colonial mansion screaming luxury around every corner. When the golf cart finally stopped moving and she got out of it, she could see a large swimming pool in
Steen Dahl.That man was so unpredictable. Last night he had bullied her before leaving her alone in the hotel, and it turned out that he had only returned to the Dahl mansion this morning.Where had he gone last night when he didn't immediately return to the mansion after leaving Vivian in the hotel alone?Perhaps the question had crossed Vivian's mind for a moment, but she didn't want to think about it as she was more focused on the other piece of information she had just obtained from Kate Dahl.The blonde woman had just told her that Steen had indeed returned to the mansion this morning, and the man had also told his parents that he had a great time with Vivian at the hotel last night.What kind of bullshit was that? Steen was just bullying her without seeking any pleasure for himself, so how could he say that he had a great night last night?But maybe that psycho had gotten satisfaction from bullying her last night, and that was why he
"Oh? Are you curious about... Steen's mother, Elen?"Vivian was still focusing her blue eyes on the gold photo frame on the wall, but then she looked startled after hearing the question from the woman standing next to her.It was as if the woman's photo had become the center of attention among the other photos in the spacious living room. It was framed in the largest frame, and that was why Vivian focused her attention after Kate finished explaining the rooms in the mansion.Now, the pair of blue eyes turned to the older woman, and their owner asked, "The woman in the photo is... Steen's mother?" She looked confused before she once again glanced at the large picture frame hanging on the wall. "What do you mean, Mrs. Dahl? Aren't you Steen's mother?"Perhaps it was her fault for not asking Tommy for details about the Dahl family before she officially joined the family as a daughter-in-law. The curly man only briefly explained the general facts related to t
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.”
