CHAPTER 1

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-19 20:21:40

(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 my tears as I saw Adrian and Sophia tangled in a sweaty mess on our bed.

Like animals.

The betrayal was agonizing.

Since when? How? Why?

Questions swarmed my mind like thousands of warring bees—painful, stinging, yet invisible to the eye. But the agony was undeniable.

A surprise meant to celebrate love had turned into a living nightmare.

“Vivian!”

I bit my lip, clenching my fists tightly.

“What the hell are you two doing?” My voice came out hoarse.

“Exactly what you see,” Adrian’s voice was arrogant, utterly shameless.

He didn’t even look guilty. He seemed indifferent, his naked body still wrapped around Sophia, who was hastily pulling the blanket over herself.

I let out a bitter laugh. My heart lay in pieces. Adrian gazed at me as if I were nothing. Two years of marriage, discarded like worthless trash.

“Why?” My voice trembled.

"You're seriously asking why?" Adrian scoffed. "Because you are the most boring wife ever!"

I was speechless.

I had given my all to this marriage. I had been a devoted, obedient wife. I had provided everything—financial support, love, sincerity, and even my utmost respect as a spouse.

I had received nothing in return. I had even covered Adrian's flaws in front of his mother because I respected him as my husband. Because I loved him.

A love so pure—only to be treated like it was worthless.

A love so deep—seen as insignificant in his eyes.

Everything had been for nothing.

“Let us be together, Vivian. It’s the best for us,” Sophia said. Her words felt like a blade slicing through my heart.

How dare she say that with such an innocent face, after spreading her legs for my husband in my bed? After wagging her tail at her best friend’s husband?

“Us?” I laughed bitterly. “You only think about yourself, Sophia. You’re selfish. And you still dare to ask me to let you be, after betraying me?!” My emotions erupted along with my overwhelming disappointment.

“We love each other,” Sophia said.

“You were my best friend! How could you do this to me?!” I screamed. 

“Don’t yell at her, Vivian. I won’t allow it,” Adrian growled, glaring at me.

I clenched my fists tighter. “You two are disgusting,” I spat.

“What did you say?!” Adrian roared.

He stood up, nearly slapping me, but he stopped himself. His eyes blazed like a wolf’s—full of hatred and fury.

“Fuck! You useless bitch,” he hissed. “You should realize how flawed you are. Don’t blame me for looking for a better woman.”

“I gave you everything, and this is what I get in return? And today is our anniversary, Adrian,” my voice trembled. I fought back my tears, refusing to let them fall.

I didn’t want to let him see me break, even though I already had.

“I don’t care,” he snapped coldly. “Get out of my life. I’m done with you.”

With tears brimming in my eyes, I grabbed my bag and left the apartment. I had no idea where to go. I just got into a taxi and cried the entire way.

I was too devastated to think straight, and the only place that came to mind was a bar near our apartment. I grabbed every drink I could, drowning myself in alcohol.

And then, in a moment of reckless madness, I made a decision—I called for a gigolo, a male escort, or whatever they were called.

The memory of Adrian screwing Sophia in our bed kept flashing in my mind, fueling my rage. Jealousy, betrayal, and unbearable pain clawed at me.

And as I spiraled into insanity, I wanted to get even. If he could do it with another woman, then I could do it with another man.

At that moment, I noticed a man sitting beside me. And for the first time, I thought to myself—Damn, he’s handsome.

“Is it you?” I whispered.

I reached for him, and he pulled me into his arms, his touch unfamiliar yet thrilling. It sent a strange shiver through me—something I had never felt before.

“You’re very handsome,” I giggled, my fingers tracing his face, his jaw, trailing down to his chest. “Wow! Even your chest… Do you work out?”

Were all gigolos this attractive? So stunning, with such a perfectly sculpted body?

But I didn’t care.

I just wanted to free myself from this pain, from this disappointment. To forget everything. To get my revenge—bitter and sweet, though I knew it would ultimately poison me.

I no longer cared.

Fueled by liquid courage, I pulled the man closer and whispered, “Make me forget everything. I’ll pay you handsomely.”

He looked at me, his arms tightening around my waist.

I felt his warm, heavy breath against my skin, brushing over my lips. My entire body trembled violently.

Then, he smirked.

"I don’t take money from another man’s wife," he murmured. "But you do seem… interesting."

    (Vivian’s POV)I took a deep breath as I walked out of the hotel area. I was still confused about who my one-night-stand companion was. If he wasn't a gigolo I paid for, then who was he?The suite we used last night wasn’t even a room rented per night. It was a room that he owned.I didn’t even know his name.I touched my lips. His touch was still imprinted on them, on my entire body. It left an odd sensation that I had never felt before.If I had to admit it, that was the most memorable night I’d ever had compared to all the nights I shared with Adrian. That man was both wild and gentle at the same time. He knew how to satisfy me while making me feel comfortable.I wanted him again.I shook my head.“Oh my god, you must be crazy, Vivian.” I covered my face, which had turned red from embarrassment.How could something like this even cross my mind?I had made such an impulsive decision because of the disappointment I felt from Adrian and Sophia’s betrayal.

    (Vivian’s POV)Without realizing it, my steps stopped in front of my friend Summer’s apartment building.After leaving home with all the pain and disappointment I had endured, I had no idea where else to go. I couldn’t tell my parents what had happened. It would only make them even more devastated.There was nothing I could do but hide it. Just to spare them from feeling the same pain I did. I would keep it to myself, handle everything alone, and when the time was right, I would finally tell them what had happened.Even though I can't see what my future will be like.Still, I had to face it with a positive mindset.“Vivian? What happened” Summer’s eyes widened with concern the moment she saw me, my appearance a complete mess.She pulled me inside and led me to sit on the couch in the living room. Her hands gripped mine tightly, as if afraid I might fall apart.“Summer,” I whispered in my trembling voice., "What should I do?"I didn’t know where to start.Everything became a blur as th

    (Vivian’s POV)My hands were ice-cold as I sat on the sofa, directly across from Kai. Meanwhile, Willem sat beside him. The conversation continued, but I couldn't control my nervousness.Kai kept staring at me like I was his prey, ready to be devoured. His gaze was sharp, piercing, and dominant, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. His presence alone made it impossible for me to focus, even though this discussion was supposed to be about my divorce."Do you know how long they've been having an affair?" Willem asked in a calm, gentle voice.I shook my head. "I only found out last night. I have no idea how long they’ve been betraying me behind my back."I bit my lip, my hands gripping the edge of the sofa anxiously. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Kai smirking at me.Is he mocking me?"What about evidence of the affair? Do you have any?"Once again, I shook my head.There were so many things I didn't know about Adrian and Sophia's betrayal. Just thinking about it made my blood

    (Vivian’s POV)I stiffened, my breath catching in my throat. I want you, Vivian. The way he said it, slow and deliberate, sent a chill down my spine.Kai’s fingers rested lightly under my chin, forcing me to meet his intense gaze. His touch wasn’t rough, but it held power—an unspoken authority that made my stomach twist with unease.I swallowed hard. "You… you don't even know me," I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper.He tilted his head, amusement flickering in his dark eyes. "I know enough. The interested woman who got my attention in the bar.”I shook my head while gulping down my saliva, trying to pull away, but his grip tightened just slightly, a silent warning."You're a desperate woman," he continued, his voice smooth like silk. "You're vulnerable. And right now, you need someone who can turn the tables in your favor. That’s where I come in."I gritted my teeth. "And in exchange? What exactly do you expect from me, Kai?"His smirk widened. "A loyalty."I frowned.

    (Vivian’s POV)"Alright, wait a while longer, I'll call you to tell you about the next meeting. I have to check my schedule first."Before I could answer, Kai had already hung up the call arbitrarily. My lips parted, and my forehead furrowed at his rather uncaring attitude.Even so, he was the only help who was truly visible and convinced that he could save me.Alright, I just need to wait for him for a little while longer.I glanced down at my cell phone in front of me on the table. My fingers tapped on it as if every second that ticked meant something."What took him so long to call me back?" I wondered.My patience felt very thin just waiting for him. Was he really that busy? Was his schedule packed?Then, finally, my cell phone rang. Kai's name was clearly displayed on my screen. I found myself pounding, breathing in and out with nerves."Hello," I greeted."Meet me at the Véda Luxe hotel the day after tomorrow night. We'll talk about our deal there."I gulped at the word 'hotel.'

I had also moved apartments, so of course, all this felt new.The meeting with Kai will be soon, and the new apartment seems like the universe is really supporting me in my effort to win against Adrian.I'm standing in front of the mirror after finishing my shower. I pulled out some of the best dresses, and they were quite sexy.I don't know why I had to choose a sexy dress when I could have chosen a normal one.But I remembered Kai's words, that he wanted me to wear the best dress I had.After I choose a dress that makes me look sexy, elegant and classy, I sit on the dressing table chair.I makeup my face as naturally as possible, always remembering to use red lipstick to create a bold and defiant impression.Damn, I don't know what I was thinking, but I didn't want to back out or change my appearance.Not yet met, I was already this nervous, arranging myself in the mirror while swallowing a few times."I wonder what he'll think if

    (Vivian’s POV).“WHAT?!”I choked on my own food until I gagged after hearing his question.Kai immediately handed me a glass of mineral water, and I sipped. “Drink first. It’s an adult topic but you’re so surprised about it.”I just looked at him through the side of my eye when I drank the water. How could he say that so easily?At that time, I couldn’t believe that Kai would ask such a vulgar question. I knew the deal that would be discussed was definitely in that direction, but couldn’t he have waited for a while until the food was finished?Damn...He just makes my heart pound. There was no way I could act normal after he said those things.Like, seriously? My favourite style for sex? I would say woman on to,p but I wouldn’t answer it now. It would embarrass me so badly.He didn't even look embarrassed about his question; instead, he was relaxed and still enjoying his meal. Meanwhile, I had to behave normally like before because I was embarrassed by her question.“I assume you alre

    (Vivian’s POV)I twirled the spatula and smiled with satisfaction as the aroma of garlic and butter filled the kitchen.The chicken I'd mixed with rosemary and lemon was now golden on the pan, its skin beginning to crisp.In the next pot, the fettuccine pasta was almost perfectly cooked, ready to be topped with the mushroom cream sauce I'd made from scratch.It's not too complicated, but it's enough to show a little care. At least I didn't let him starve after... What happened this morning?"It's like he never looks really tired. Last night we did, then this morning and... after he came back from his morning run... he really looked fit and energetic."I couldn't lie to myself that I was lulled by the charisma he showed unintentionally. If I'm being honest, maybe this liking is already in the middle stage, but I don't know how it will end, I'm just resigned."Damn it, Vivian! Focus on your goals!

    (Vivian’s POV)"What are you looking at?" asked Kai in his husky voice that was still laced with the remnants of that intimacy.I looked down, realising how long I had been staring at his face without saying anything.Our bodies were still entwined, my skin pressed against his chest that was warm and damp with sweat. My hands wrapped around his neck, while my hair fell messily over his shoulders.I was on top of him, still holding him tightly as if I was afraid he would disappear. But of course I didn't want to show those feelings."Your face," I replied softly, then smiled a little. "I don't usually get to see you from this angle."Kai chuckled softly. "You sound like an artist observing the object of her painting.""Maybe," I replied teasingly. But actually... There was something else that had been occupying my mind for some time. Something that I haven't had the chance to ask yet, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to hold back as my curiosity grows."Kai," I called softly.

    (Vivian’s POV)This time I woke up again from sleep after Kai and I had morning sex in the kitchen. Even though it's still fairly early, it seems like I was exhausted after that, so I fell asleep again.It's just that I don't remember how he ended up taking me to the room again, but it seems like it just happened when lust was all I thought about."Where is he?" I looked to my side, where I didn't see Kai.I thought he went to sleep after that, but he wasn't there. I don't know where he went, so I got out of bed, put on his oversized white plain T-shirt with socks to keep me warm because it was cold.I tied my hair up randomly and walked out of the room, looking around for him.His penthouse was too big for me, because when I tried to find him, I didn't find him. I didn't know where he was going this morning. Because I could see his car out there.I then stood in the middle of the deserted living room, which really emphasised my existence alone.The cool morning air brushed against my

    (Vivian’s POV)I haven't answered him yet, because I still want to enjoy his kiss. It doesn't matter if I haven't answered yet, right? Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm lulled by his kisses for now, right?Kai's kiss deepened, his lips caressing every inch of my skin with passion, but also tenderness.There was no hurried movement, no blind lust. He liked me as if I were the most precious thing he had ever touched. But I knew he only liked me as his toy for sex. His hands trailed down my back slowly, making my skin shudder. My breath came in slow gasps, while my heart pounded in my chest.Kai lifted my body, carrying me into the room without taking his eyes off me."Hold on," he said softly.I nodded, wrapping my arms around his neck. Somehow, the night felt so calm like the world stopped spinning just for the two of us.Once we got to the room, Kai laid me down carefully on his bed.The dim lamplight made everything feel more intimate. He looked at me for a long time, as if he was r

    (Vivian’s POV)"Well, I'm back here again," I said as soon as the penthouse door opened.Kai nodded as he pressed the remote, turning on the warm lights that greeted us."Welcome back to your new home, temporarily."I swallowed. The penthouse was spacious, minimalist, and luxurious, just as I had described it. Every corner looked neat and organised in a very masculine way-like the owner.Kai put my suitcase in the living room. "Just put your clothes in my room, it'll be easier for you."I frowned. "Your room? I thought I'd be in the guest room.""Yes." He looked at me casually. "We sleep in the same room, Vivian. I have to make sure you're by my side before I go to sleep and when I wake up."I was frozen in place, but at the same time, I was embarrassed, and my heart was beating violently again."I thought we would... sleep separately.""According to the contract, too, we will be in the same bed even though I have many rooms; you have to sleep in my room," he said lightly as he walked

    (Vivian’s POV)."I'll take you home, Vivian."Kai's voice sounded soft yet firm, as if he didn't accept rejection. I just nodded slowly, still feeling the chill of residual fear shivering on my skin.On the way home, he didn't say much. But the silence between us wasn't emptiness, but a soothing calm. It was as if his very existence was a refuge.When I arrived at my apartment, Kai opened the door and let me in first. He followed, then without being asked, immediately went to the kitchen and poured me a glass of water."Drink this first," he said, thrusting the glass into my hand.I stared at it, then accepted it with hands that were still a little shaky. But Kai's calmness made me slowly relax."Thank you," I said with a weak smile.Without speaking, he took the first aid kit from the shelf near the refrigerator, then sat down in front of me."Let me check your wound."I nodded slowly. Kai touched my arm very carefully, applying antiseptic on the small scratch I had received while tr

    (Vivian’s POV)."FUCK!" Kai's voice exploded, and in an instant, he slammed into Adrian's body, sending him crashing to the floor.Mercilessly, Kai pinned him down and smashed his fist into Adrian's face repeatedly. "You think you can just touch her?! I warned you already, asshole!""How dare you touch Vivian! I'll kill you, Adrian!" His fist flew again, hard and angry.Blood started dripping from Adrian's nose, but Kai didn't stop. Another fist smashed into his jaw, followed by a kick to the side of his stomach as Adrian tried to escape on all fours.My body was shaking so badly, even the air felt too sharp for me to breathe. My breathing faltered, my eyes still blurry with tears that had not yet fallen completely.My shirt was torn at the shoulders and chest, rudely opened by the hands that once swore to take care of me.I sat rooted to the floor of the studio, my back pressed coldly against the display rack, hugging myself.Then, the sound of a loud crash echoed. Kai banged Adrian

    (Vivian’s POV)"Let go of me! Let go of me! 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
