Vivian POV " And does it seem like I care? If you're not comfortable with the rules then I would rather walk out through that door right now, go out there and tell your father the fucking truth" I threatened with a hollow anger, his guts provoked me to think that he was till arrogant when he obviously had no choice. " And your Mom? What happens to your Mom afterwards?" He questioned and I smiled. " Do you think because you threatened me with my mother is what makes me stay in this deal?" I asked with sarcasm. "You're missing on a lot Max. I'm not that dumb. And no matter how powerful you're in this city wouldn't change the fact that I am obligated to certain rights of the law" He ceased his brows at me as I made that remark. I could see the glint of shock that crossed in his eyes but he was quick enough to faze it off, replacing it with a deep frown. "When did you become this wild Vivian. Did you get all these shitty attitude because of the Divorce?" He asked and I pressed my
Vivian POV He covered my nipple with his lips again and I shuddered in a musk breath, the desired flicked through my whole body, my needs aroused intensely. I held on to the bed sheets, my fingers digging into the bed, supporting my own weight. His mouth worked wonders on my nipple as he licked, bit and nibbled ruthlessly on them, switching over to each one at time intervals. My lips hung open, moans after moans escaped my lips. Max had always had it rough with me during sex in our three years of marriage and I had liked them but neither has I felt this geesy sensation like before; it wasn't obligation, ownership of duty; it felt mutual and compromising, as of he wanted me to feel something different this time around. "Ahh, Max please~" I drawled heavily, my voice crooker than ever, etched and hooked that it came out only as a muffle sound. I instinctively gripped his hair, pulling him even more closer to my boobs. Was I mutually sex-starved? I didn't have the answer to the v
Vivian POV Slap! My hands let loose angrily against his cheeks in that heated rage in me and just after it happened, I regretted ever doing it. Guilt arose inside me and I pressed my lips thinly to each other. Silence stretched between us, really terrible silence as he stared at me with an unreadable expression on his face. I didn't know what he was thinking but I knew that Max had temper issues. Oh Goodness, this is what bitterness has caused! I had never dared to even think of hitting Max in my entire life but somehow, his words had gotten me greatly. I didn't know if it was stirred by jealousy or the fact that he attributed me as same with my father. But one thing was sure that, his words held a deep impact on me. Without a word, he smiled, getting off me totally from the bed. A new sac of air washed over my entire body, reminding me of his absence away from my needs. It was what I wanted right? I shouldn't be bothered about it then. " That hurt earlier" His voice broke ou
Vivian POV I looked at the maid as If she had developed another head and immediately she bowed her head apologetically" I'm sorry ma'am, I'm so sorry ma'am" Her voice came out with worry and I smiled, seeing how tensed she had become. "It's okay, but why did you say that?" I asked and she looked at me, as if waiting for a go ahead order from me and I quickly nodded at her to say something. " Young master didn't want you to get any new clothes so you could wear his, I think to convince his Father" She replied and instantly, I confirmed it. The reason Max had been grinning stupidly when he asked me to prepare for dinner. He knew very well I didn't have any clothes with me and preferred if I wore his? His cologne lingered on the shirt I wore and I hated myself for smelling like him. "Thanks, what's your name?" I inquired, steepling my hands together. "It's Freya" She answered and I nodded. "Let's go" I say and with that, she walked ahead of me while I followed closely be
Vivian POV As soon as the words left his lips, Max's mother leapt up menacingly, making few of us flinch back in surprise as she stormed towards where I sat with Max "She's already pregnant Max?" She inquired, folding her hands together under her chest in a demanding stance. My eyes narrowed at her wearily, puzzled by her behavior outrightly. Did she crave for a child that much? Was that why she kept glaring at me with hatred since I couldn't bear his son a child? What would be Max's answer? Would he expose Ruth's pregnancy and declare her child as his heir? My thoughts raced with different unanswered questions, my eyes shimmering with wonder of my own theory. "I don't have an heir Nicolas" Max's voice came out as sultry tone, totally ignoring his mother's words, he picked up his fork and dug into the meat in his plate, his features brimming with nonchalance as he took in a bite into his mouth and chewed slowly, savoring the taste of the meat and nodding in affirmation. His att
Vivian POV I was shocked to see Max's mother pull at my hair roughly, yanking few strands off my head and I groaned. "Let go of my hair !" I yelled but she gripped it harder, twisting it around as if wanting to pull of everything. I became very angry, not like I couldn't do anything but I was scared of hurting her since she was Mr Norman's wife and I would atone him that respect. "Let her go Hannah, she's done nothing wrong for this attitude!" Mr Norman snapped, his voice sharp with a authority but his wife disagreed on the spot " No, I won't. She caused it all, if she hadn't forced herself against Max then he would still be my lovely son and she's barren!" She said, tightening her fists even more harder on my hair. At this point, I couldn't bear it anymore and I pushed her off heavily and she fell back, crashing heavily on her butts. "What the fuck!" Daniel stood up enraged, storming towards me. " How dare you push my mother, someone old enough to birth you huh?" He raised his
Vivian POV Surprisingly Max took my hands and pulled me out of the dining, preventing any further chaos from arising. It was obvious I was actually ready for them and I when I struggled to get off his grip, he hoisted me up into his arms like I weighed nothing, climbing the fleet of stairs in a giffy and in a blink, he pushed the door to our bedroom open and dropped me down as I stood up to face him in a flare. "What was that all about Max?" I demanded and he sighed and faced-palmed himself as his hands came down from his face and rested on his jaw. For some reason, Max seemed frustrated, I mean the stone-hearted Billionaire of the Norman's family actually looking anxious was something unbelievable. " You aren't saying anything Max? You can't keep me in the dark and still expect me to continue with this deal and if you aren't going come out clean, then I'm out?" I attempted to walk to the door but he drew me back into himself, holding me together in a tight grip In his arms. Th
Vivian POV Max leaned in and kissed kissed my lips, trailing his lips down and under my jaw as he traced them to my chest and in between my breast. He kissed my slightly exposed cleavages and I shuddered with tremor at the feeling that coursed through my entire body. "Mmrh, Ahhh Max" I moaned out loudly, not able to keep my voice in check any longer. "Someone is writhing already. Tell me, could those men make you feel this way?" He spoke against my right cleavage as he gave it a light kiss. I shut my eyes, totally ignoring his questions, allowing the overwhelming urges spread through me like wild fire. I could feel my breasts up and firm against his face, aching for a touch and just like he read my thoughts, he ripped off his shirt that I wore out of impatience, leaving me worried and bared. He slid off the shreds totally off my body and my breasts was exposed for his eyes to feed on, the lacy bra I wore trapping the nipple and he immediately slid his hands around my back and unl
Vivian POV"Mom, what are you saying, I don't sleep around!" I almost screamed. I couldn't believe that was Max had been accusing me for over three years was beginning to seem like the truth. "I saw the pictures perhaps I don't have my phone any longer Vivian but it was you, laying on the bed in a five star hotel with a man old enough to be your father" My Mom said, throwing more light to my confusion.How could that be? I wasn't even the type of person that socialize with people that much so how could I suddenly sleep with someone I don't know.I turned to face Max" You have the pictures, don't you? Let me see it" I requested in a fierce demand but instead Max rolled his eyes at me, tugging his hands into his pockets and gave me a nonchalant stare."There'll be no need for that Vivian. I don't have it and I didn't want to divorce you because of that, just bear that in mind" He answered curtly, flashing a smile at me then to my mother."Why did you come back? You were going to see yo
Vivian POVHe strode in, walking past me towards my mother whose expression suddenly changed with glistening smiles. He bent down, took her hands and kissed it; a courtesy and introduction shown to elderly in-laws. "Max Norman?" My Mom asked, her smiles brightening even more and Max nodded, suddenly acting like an innocent cute four year old baby. "Yes Mom" He replied in a very demure polite tone that I didn't realize he had with him "You're really handsome like they say" She complimented, shocking me even more. I didn't understand my Mom, although I know her as someone to be flexible most times, I still couldn't believe she would be this pleased to someone who she already knows wanted to divorce me; of course she knows! I told her! Then why was she acting so oblivious? Strange, entirely strange." Common, let's have a brief talk, can we?" My Mom suddenly chipped in and at that moment, I knew I couldn't just watch and do nothing. What is she doing?"Mom, I'm sorry but I can't leave
Vivian POV" What was that Vivian!" My Mom faced me and immediately, I dropped on my acts, my expression softened now replaced with care as I smiled at her. Seeing her stand up firm made me happy and excited. She had been lying on the bed for so long and at some point, I had thought she would be there forever but staring at her composure at the moment made me bawl with true gladness."How are you Mom, I'm sorry I wasn't there with you after surgery, something came up" I said , walking towards her and embracing her in a tight hug. Her nerves which flared up earlier relaxed at that instant and she returned the hug, tightening her grip around me. I've missed my mother so much that I've almost forgotten what being in her arms feels like; protected and care."I'm sorry Vivian. I'm so sorry too" She sobbed silently and I smiled and patted her back. We stayed in each other's embrace for a few minutes before we finally disengaged.My Mom flashed a heartwarming smile at me, tugging my hands i
Vivian POV"What the hell are you doing here?!" I snapped as soon as our eyes locked in contact."Vivian" My Mom called but I ignored her, the feeling of joy I had earlier on seeing her vanished, replaced by with intense anger and hatred as the man stood up."I repeat again, what are you doing here Alexander"I demanded, voice lacing with pure raging contempt."I came to see your Mom Vivian" He replied, feigning a tone of care. I glared daggers at him, hating the air of prestige he held and not minding the presence of the nurse in the room, I spoke out an order" Get out" I said calmly, clenching my fists and supressing the urge to punch his face at the moment, if it was possible, I could've pounced and beat the hell out of him until his face bloated with blood."Vivian you should calm down, he has something to say" My Mom chipped in, surprising me and I was taken aback. Did she just tell me to calm down? For who exactly? For a man who didn't care if she was dead or not?"Are you being
Vivian POV"Missing me already?" His smug voice blared out loudly through the phone and instantly, my racing mind calmed down.Just now, I couldn't believe that I was this worried about Max."Where are you going to Max?" I forced myself to ask, pressing my lips thinly to each other and hoping he wouldn't give me a hilarious cackle this time around."I'm going to Ruth and after, I'll go to work" He revealed, I could Sense the sincerity in his voice but I forced down those thoughts, my mind suddenly replaced with anger the moment he mentioned her name.Had I truly forgotten that Max's first love was still alive? I shut my eyes in exasperation, regretting why I was worried about him in the first place.Even after everything that seemed to be pulling us closer, Max still had Ruth in his mind. Envy, jealousy smeared through me and I gritted my teeth at how stupid I had become."Vivian, are you there?" He asked but I remained silent.What am I going to say anyways, not like he could change
Vivian POVI stopped on my tracks, swirled around to gaze at Max." At this point, would you want to go against your father because you feel unsettled leaving me with him?" I demanded with a questioningly look. Although I had felt a bit tensed at Max's father sudden request, I still didn't see reasons why Max was even more uncomfortable with it than I was.Perhaps, there was something he wasn't telling me that I should know right? One thing that was sure in Max's family was; there was really dirty secrets that I don't know of. Secrets that could shatter everything they've worked for over decades and no matter how curious I was to find out about it, I wasn't in a rush to dig deeper into it because I feel like it might affect my own life if I did so."I don't mind going against him this time around. It's not safe being with him alone and that's final. You're my wife not his and only I has the right to do whatever I want" He said colly and walked past me. My feet was rooted to the ground
Vivian POVI walked towards the mirror beside the wardrobe and stood, staring at my reflection and the dress I wore.The gown was attached with diamond Stones which cut off abruptly at my knee length, showing and accentuating my figure. Max had brought out the gown as well as a high-heeled silver shoe hidden in between his pile of clothes in the wardrobe, I was shocked when he did that because I had ransacked in the wardrobe but found no female dress. I smiled, pushing my hair towards the back and straightening then with my fingers, at least, my looks seemed satisfying this time around since I didn't want to give my Mom the medium to think that I'm suffering or whatever."Ready Vivian?" Max said from behind and I jerked around, turning to see him in a brownish coloured tailored, for once I was lost gazing at him, recollecting those times when he would usually come back from work wearing most of it. Max was the type of person that doesn't joke with work and seeing him wearing this sui
Vivian POVThe night passed with a haze of restless tossing. Sleep seemed to have fled from me, denying me of warmth in my memory and just like grains of sands, my mind flipped with questions.For three years, the cold attitude, the sheer disgust Max had for me, yet I couldn't bring myself to refuse to his charms last night I had slipped into sleep with those words ringing like a bell in my ears, the dripping venom that emanated from him the moment those words left his lips. Max could definitely stain his hands if truly another man comes even as close to a wooing me.Fuck! Did my life now revolve around him?I couldn't fathom the scenario where Max would have to turn into a mad beast just to claim me, the me had rejected for Ruth and eager to divorce.Truthfully speaking, I was confused at what suddenly changed in Max? There was something I didn't know and he wasn't telling and no matter how bitter it seemed, I wanted to know his intentions if possible.I should be ashamed of myself
Vivian POVFor thirty minutes I laid on the bed, staring at Max's name heavily imprinted on my intimate area. This could absolutely alter my life.How could he even do a thing like this and worse more, he destroyed the only cleaner that could erase it right in front of me.The door of the bathroom opened and Max came out, wrapping a towel around his torso, droplets of water dripping down his body and making him look more enticing. I darted my eyes to another corner in the room.I should be angry, raging and hateful towards him but with each passing seconds I spend my time with him, it seems like he keeps shredding through the brick walls I've built around my heart, a wall I was determined to make impenetrable yet Max was effortlessly pulling it down and making my heart beat for him just like the first time I met him."You haven't gone to sleep yet? Want some cuddling?" He asked, drawing my attention as he winked at me in a sexy stare. Shit! I cursed myself in a low mutter for the way
