I make a mistake. A rash and intoxicating mistake. One night. A stranger. A fire that burns my skin and leaves me breathless. But when the morning light comes, I run—leaving behind nothing but shame and a few crumpled bills. I think I’ll never see him again. Until I step into the towering kingdom of Wilder Group... and meet ーhim. Kai Wilder Reyes. A ruthless billionaire. The man who rules the city with just a snap of his fingers. The man who shares an unforgettable night with me. And worst of all—my best friend's uncle. His grin is sinful. His touch is deadly. His words are a trap I can’t escape. "I can destroy your husband for you, Vivian," he whispers, his lips dangerously close. "Make him regret ever betraying you." My ex-husband, Adrian Cownell, has shattered my heart, and Kai offers me justice on a silver platter. But at what cost? Because Kai never does anything for free. And when I ask him what he wants in return, he smiles. A slow, dark, wicked smile. "I want you, Vivian."

You've crossed the line, Adrian!""And you thought I'd actually stop after that asshole's threats?!"My heart was pounding, nervous and scared. He really didn't think about Kai's threats, as if he wasn't afraid of him and seemed to defy him."You have no right to my life, Adrian! We're over!""We're not over! Not yet until the court decides our divorce!""And we will be divorced! You will be completely separated from me! Let go of me!" I yelled out loud to him.I thrashed when my body was completely locked by Adrian so firmly. He was so angry with me, and it was actually common for me to be treated roughly like this by him when he was angry.It's just that this time, of course, I won't stand still and surrender."Answer me! How did you know him and what is your relationship?!"His eyes glared like demons as he stared at me, shaking me as he demanded an answer to his question."It's none of your business who I want to be friends with and get
(Vivian's POV)"Thank you for taking the time for me, Summer," I said before we finally parted ways. "It really means a lot to have you as my friend."She nodded. "Hey, I should be the one thanking you. At least we got to spend some time together, even if it was just for coffee.""You're right. I'm happy to see you, to share stories with you.""Call me whenever you need me. You know I'm always here for you."I nodded, and after we hugged, she got into her car and drove away. I watched her leave with a deep sigh of relief.Honestly, I felt bad for Summer. She had no idea what was really going on—about my uncle and me. I should have told her from the start, but I needed to ask Kai first, to make sure he was okay with it. But... of course, I had to consider it carefully.I felt incredibly guilty for not being honest when talking about my problems.Hiding the fact that I had to pay Kai for his services as a sex partner—just the thought of Summer finding out terrified me.I didn’t know wha
(Kai’s POV)From: Vivian"Much better. With Summer now."So, she was with my niece. I immediately replied to her message.To: Vivian"What are you two talking about? Are you talking about me?"I added a teasing tone to the last part to make her flustered. I loved seeing her cheeks turn red because of me.After sending my reply, I reread her first message, which said she felt much better.I smiled reflexively. Knowing that she was doing well made me feel at ease, and that alone brightened my day.She hadn’t responded yet, and I was so satisfied with teasing her that I found myself grinning in amusement."Sir?"Suddenly, my secretary, Rebecca, called out to me. My expression immediately returned to its usual calm state as I looked at her and slipped my phone into my pocket."Yes?""Are you in a good mood today, sir?" she asked."And why are you asking that, Rebecca?""It’s just that… you never smile like that, sir. Especially not when we're discussing work."I had to admit, ever since V
(Vivian’s POV)"Has he gone insane?!"Summer’s voice shrieked after I told her about Adrian barging into my apartment and making an outrageous offer.We were meeting at a café, and Kai had dropped me off. Before leaving, he kissed me on the lips, and I nearly lost my mind from enjoying it too much."See you later, my sexy partner," he whispered before finally walking away.I blinked several times, still trying to process his words, which sounded so affectionate and seductive.Was he just trying to tease me? Did he not realise how dangerous that was? Damn it! He should be speaking to me coldly—no flirting, no anything.Now, back to Summer... I had to take a deep breath and try to breathe normally."He’s really acting like a devoted husband, you know. I absolutely hate him with every fiber of my being!" I responded to her words.Summer shook her head. "Yeah, he’s completely lost it! His sanity is gone because he’s too selfish, enjoying that damn woman’s body!"She looked truly furious,
(Vivian’s POV)“Let’s have breakfast before I drive you to your apartment.”Breakfast with him usually went, of course, there were always glances here and there from visitors or waiters when they saw Kai as if he was a celebrity.I was actually a bit proud because they might think I was his girlfriend. I mean, I could be with him, and the way they stared at him showed that they wanted to be with him.But I'm sure, they glanced at Kai because of his good looks and how Kai didn’t turn his back on them at all but instead stayed focused on me.At that time, I didn't say anything because I didn't feel bothered either, so I just continued to eat and enjoy my breakfast.When I arrived at my apartment, I was shocked because the door was open slightly. I immediately opened it violently, fearing that there was a burglar.But no, what I saw was Adrian inside, making my eyes widen in shock."How the hell can you enter my apartment?!" I asked in a rather loud tone. “Did you sabotage my apartment?!
(Vivian’s POV)After he left, I was at a loss as to what to do in his huge, luxurious penthouse.There really wasn't anyone in the house, not even a maid. I don't know how he cleans this house, unless he has a home service that he will call if he needs it.It occurred to me to do the home tour alone while Kai wasn't here. Maybe I'll find something about him that I can learn about his character.I was immediately mesmerized by the portrait of Kai as a child with a simple frame posing on a horse."He was so adorable. A cute little boy," I complimented with a smile.Then I moved to a row of framed photos of him, realizing that it seemed like when he was younger Kai was very good at sports.There's a picture of him surfing, looking so charming in just his boxers and shirtless, holding a skateboard.Suddenly my heart was pounding because of that.Then there was a picture of him rock climbing, looking so athletic, really like a professional athlete.There was even a picture of him diving! "
(POV Kai)At that moment, I found myself recalling how I first met Vivian. She caught my attention when I saw her looking so miserable at the bar—alone and completely dejected.Someone or something had hurt her, and I knew that for sure. I was quite familiar with how women acted when they were frustrated, especially when it came to love.In fact, many women were betrayed, and it seemed like the percentage reached 90 per cent worldwide."She’s very interesting," I muttered, smirking.Especially when she mistook me for the gigolo she had hired, it sounded ridiculous, but at the time, I was curious—what would make a woman go so far as to hire a gigolo?Back then, I even let her be aggressive, allowing her to think I was really her gigolo.She was fully prepared to pay me for one night of satisfaction.Truthfully, I did enjoy that night. After just one time with her, she became addicted. Then one day, Summer called and told me that the woman I had slept with was her friend.I was shocked
(Vivian’s POV)"AH! Kai..."I moaned feeling his hands already touching parts of my body. In fact, I was already lying on the sofa I was sitting on, and Kai was already on top of me.He was in the middle of my thighs, while his hands were gently caressing my thighs.His touch was addictive,e and it was the first time I didn't want to take his hands off my body.He even kept licking my lips, as if there was no end to it, leaving wetness there time and time again.Then his finger started to slide into mine, playing there back and forth, giving an explosive sensation that I really couldn't stand."Kai... Hmm...""Let me know if you want it, Vivian."I looked at him with my sweet eyes and nodded. "Yes, I want to."He didn't say anything after that, but then he slid another finger in and started moving in and out of my body slowly.In between his finger movements, he sucked on my nipples, my heart was pounding because his gesture was really sweet and very gentle.His lips then returned to
(Vivian’s POV)“If you’re done, we’ll go to my penthouse,” he said.My eyes blinked at the word penthouse. I had assumed that he and I would be doing it here at the hotel soon because when he invited me to meet him at a hotel, that was the first thing that came to my mind.It turned out I had embarrassed myself with my thoughts. My mind had started to wander in a more inappropriate direction.“Yes, I’m done. Thank you for dinner.”He nodded, and then we left the hotel restaurant after he paid the entire bill.So far, he still treated me the same way as before—holding the car door open for me and always letting me walk ahead of him.This kind of behaviour was completely unexpected, especially considering his views on love and marriage.The journey to his penthouse felt incredibly long. He didn’t say a word, and I had no intention of starting a conversation either.But finally, we arrived.Honestly, my heart was pounding. Images of something wet and hot filled my mind again. I tried to
(Vivian’s POV)“Ah… Yes!”“Again, harder!”“Ehm, ah! You’re so good, babe!”My hands trembled as I grasped the doorknob to my bedroom—or rather, our bedroom. The moans of a man and a woman tangled together made my heart pound furiously, especially since I recognized those voices all too well.Adrian and Sophia.My husband and my best friend.I stood there, holding the gift box I had prepared with love, something special for our wedding anniversary. Our second year of marriage—a toxic mix of poison and honey.What was happening behind that door?I felt like I was about to shatter the moment I opened it. But these sounds—the disgusting sounds that sent shivers down my spine—made my stomach churn.“Oh, Adrian, this feels so good.”Sophia’s pleasure-filled moan made my eyes widen. A surge of anger, heartbreak, and burning curiosity overwhelmed me, making me drop the gift box I had been holding.And at that moment, I pushed the door open and entered the room.My heart shattered along with ...
