"Why do you still cook this much when I am the only one who eats? Didn't I tell you to cook just enough?"
For the umpteenth time, Vivi protested the maids, who always filled the dining table with various foods when it was time to eat.
"It's okay. We are just doing our duty to always prepare the best food for you. You don't have to force yourself to eat it all, just eat what you want."
Vivi let out a long sigh before beginning to enjoy her food. She had once been poor enough to feel how miserable it was to be hungry, but in this house, she never lacked food. And that made her feel guilty for wasting food when many people were starving because they didn't have food like she had in the past.
"Is he so busy that she hasn't given me any news? Or did he deliberately want me to contact him first?"
After lunch, Vivi sits in a chair on the back porch, facing the backyard, which is overgrown with various types of trees and flowers.
It was already the
"I miss you so much, and now I don't want to do anything but just hug you." Although Darren said this, of course, it would never be enough for him to relieve his longing for Vivi by just hugging her. In the end, he still undressed Vivi, brought her to the bed, and spent the night making love with his contract wife. Darren puts his hands and mouth everywhere on Vivi's body, although he has to skip the main part he likes the most because the woman is still on her period. While Vivi, without presenting Darren with her main game, tries hard to do everything she can to make him feel satisfied, she doesn’t realize that in her efforts, she also feels so excited and passionate that she forgets that she should feel fed up and forced by what she is doing with Darren. In the end, Darren wasn’t the only one who enjoyed the steamy activity because Vivi felt the same way. "I didn't know you smoked." Darren, sitting on the balcony floor with his back to the door, raised his head when he heard V
"Do I really want to have children? Why do I want it so much now when I never thought about it?"Looking at Vivi's face as she slept beside him, Darren thought again about his desire to have a child. After asking about Vivi's willingness to give birth to a child for him, the woman couldn’t give him an answer right away and asked for time to think about it.But the more Darren thinks about it, the more Darren hesitates about his decision. Remembering what happened to his parents, who were tied to their marriage because of his existence, Darren is afraid that he will only repeat the same mistake if he tries to tie Vivi down with the presence of a child.His mother never loved his father and was forced to marry him because she was pregnant with his child–which made her hate Darren after their son was born, who looked like a copy of him.Darren's father spent decades trying to melt her wife's heart so she would love him back. But what he got in re
"Isn't it neat?" Darren, who had lowered his head to look at his tie, raised his face after hearing Vivi's question. "No, it's not. It's very neat. It's good," Darren said with a smile. "Thank you." "Then let's go get some breakfast," Vivi replied before leading Darren out of the room. Darren didn't immediately follow Vivi and lowered his head to stare at the tie she had just put on him. It had been a month since they had returned from their honeymoon, and to this day, Vivi had not given him the tie clip she had bought him during their honeymoon, which made Darren even more curious. Darren checks the drawer where Vivi keeps the tie clip every day, and the object never moves from its place, which makes Darren think that maybe Vivi didn't give him the thing because the woman forgot it. However, Darren can't ask Vivi directly because he is worried that she might have kept it on purpose to give it to him someday. Darren does not wa
"You don't have to, let the maids prepare it.""It's okay. If it's just like that, I can do it.""But I don't have much time, and I'd rather spend it hugging you than watching you prepare my suitcase like this."Vivi, who was putting Darren's things into the suitcase, stopped what she was doing after hearing what the man said to her. She turned her head to Darren, who immediately stretched out his arms from the sofa in the corner of the room where he was sitting."Come here," Darren called. "Let me give you a big hug before I go."Vivi answered Darren's call and walked over to the man. There was an empty spot next to Darren where she could sit on the sofa, but experience had made Vivi understand that what Darren wanted right now was not for her to sit next to him but to sit on his lap."Oh, God," Darren murmured, his eyes moving slowly to look at every part of Vivi's face as if he wanted to remember it well before he left her. "I'm already d
"He won't listen to me at all and keeps staying here. Can you talk him into leaving?"Darren had just arrived in his hotel room after a long and tiring trip, and the first thing he heard from Vivi was her complaint about Bryan coming to their house and bothering her."He dares to play around because he knows I'm not home," hissed Darren. "I'll talk to him later, so just ignore him. Just stay in your room or go for a walk so you don't have to stay with him.”"I'm going to stay home because my stomach hurts a lot.""Stomach ache? Did you eat something wrong?" asked Darren in a worried tone."No, I didn't. I had my period when I woke up earlier, and now my stomach hurts a lot."Vivi's explanation left Darren speechless. Vivi having her period again meant that their attempt to have a child had failed again."Darren," Vivi called because he was too silent after she said she had her period. "Are you mad at me?""Why would I be
"What are you looking at? What did you see, huh?!"Bryan clicked his tongue after hearing his father yell at him. Of course, Mr. Walters was annoyed because Bryan, who had suddenly agreed to sit next to him to accompany him to watch this news program, instead of concentrating on the TV, kept looking at his face from a close distance as if he was watching him, which made Mr. Walters very uncomfortable."Dad, when did you get so old?" asked Bryan, his voice sounding concerned but still insulting to her father."How old do I look to make you frown like that, huh?" Mr. Walters replied."Don't you have a lot of money? Why don't you take care of yourself? Botox injections, fillers, plastic surgery... Why don't you do anything and just let your face age?" asks Bryan in a worried tone."You are... What are you talking about? Why do you have to insult me like that?" Mr. Walters asked."Don't get old and die, okay?"The tension on Mr. Walters face slowly faded as he heard what Bryan said in tha
"Aaargh... Aaah..."Vivi couldn't stop whimpering as she tried to sit up, her body sore and painful. She looked down at her bruised left arm, and her eyes immediately glazed over as she remembered what Darren had done to her last night.This wasn’t the first punishment she had received from Darren, but this punishment was even more severe than the previous one. Because this time, it wasn’t just about Darren's anger, but hatred in the man exploded through the punishment that Vivi had to endure all night."And since you can't appreciate the love I give you, from now on, I'll show you what it feels like to be my enemy, Vivianne."Suddenly, what Darren had said to her last night returned to Vivi's ears and trapped her in an overwhelming fear. It was already so bad for her to accept Darren's love by pretending to be nice to him in return. Vivi couldn’t imagine how bad it would be if Darren hated her and made her his enemy."Darren..." Vivi looked around the room to find Darren, but there w
"Why do I feel so pathetic? Am I so desperate to beg her to pretend to love me?"After Vivi had fallen asleep again under the influence of the medicine she had taken, Darren went downstairs and sat in front of the bar to calm himself down with a bottle of wine. And as he thought about what he had said to Vivi earlier, he felt an instant regret that made him feel like a stupid man.Darren had always been dominant, and all the women had always submitted to him so easily that he had never felt heartbroken. But Vivi was different. Vivi's rejection hurt Darren's dominant soul and made his desire to have her even more passionate."I'm pathetic." Darren lowered his head, remembering again what he had said to Vivi earlier. He had gotten too carried away earlier, and after asking Vivi to pretend to love him, his heart didn’t feel better and instead made him feel restless thinking about how pathetic he was right now."Oi!"Darren turned his head in surprise when someone suddenly sat beside him.
