The Hidden Reason

2024-10-29 19:42:56"Is it true that you have a relationship with Bryan Walters, and this contract marriage with me is just to hide your relationship?"
Darren was naturally shocked by the question Vivi had just asked him. Even though his romance scandal with Bryan had become as famous as his popularity as a successful businessman over the years, there had never been a single person who had dared to ask him directly to confirm the truth of the rumors.
"Well..." Darren paused to hold his head, which suddenly felt dizzy. He always got a headache when he was associated with Bryan like this. "I told you to look me up on the Internet, but it wasn't about that rumor. I mean... Of all the information you can get about me on the Internet, why are you interested in that one?"
"Because I think it's the most important of all," Vivi said, making Darren close his eyes as if holding back the answer that upset him.
"If it's true that you asked me to marry you to cover up your relationship w

"Mr. Hart allows you to choose any dress you want. So you can tell me about your dream wedding dress, and I will do my best to make it happen."Accompanied by Lily, Vivi was in the room of one of the best designers in the world. What made her feel particularly stressed was that Darren wanted to give her a special dress for their wedding day, even though they only got married by contract."I don't have a dream dress," Vivi said. "Please just make me a simple dress.""I don't think Mr. Hart will agree with that idea," the designer said. "Since the party is going to be big with 1,000 guests, he must–""A thousand?!" Vivi interrupted the designer with a screech of disbelief. "Who are the people he wants to invite to his wedding that he has to invite so many guests?""Actually, there are more guests to invite, miss," Lily explained, causing Vivi to turn to her. "But Mr. Hart only chose 1000 people closest to him to attend his wedding.""A t

"The 13th? That's... That's nine days from now, right?"Darren returned from Paris three days after his departure, and besides the souvenir of a bottle of 1947 wine that was very expensive, another thing that surprised Vivi was the wedding invitation the man gave her.Not someone else's invitation, but her wedding invitation with Darren, written to be held on the 13th, which was only nine days away from now. It shocked Vivi because in addition to Darren's sudden arrival, this sudden wedding invitation was too surprising for Vivi, who had just woken up from her sleep because Darren rang the bell of her apartment."Yes. I postponed it because I have to finish some work first," Darren said, causing Vivi to stare at him in disbelief."It's only nine days away, and you said you postponed it? When are you actually planning to get married?" asked Vivi."I was thinking of marrying you right after we met. But since you're newly divorced... I thought I'd hav

"This is very suitable and beautiful for you. This dress will make you the most beautiful queen on your wedding day."Vivi missed Lily's compliments as she was now completely mesmerized by her wedding dress. Even though she had asked for a simple dress, in the hands of famous designer Darren had specially chosen to make her wedding dress, the simple model of the dress could become a dress that looked very elegant and luxurious."I’ll take a picture of you and send it to Mr. Hart," Lily said, snapping Vivi out of her reverie."You're going to send my picture to Darren? What for?" asked Vivi as if she objected."Mr. Hart asked for it because he's very curious about the dress," Lily said, pointing her camera phone at Vivi."If he's so curious, why didn't he come to see it himself?" asked Vivi–saying it in an indifferent tone to hide her sadness, because from the beginning it was only her and Lily who were busy with all the wedding preparat

"Aaah..."Vivi awoke from her sleep, clutching her head, which felt very painful. The dizziness was overwhelming, as if her head had become a giant drum beating loudly."I suffer like this every time I drink alcohol, but how come I never give up?" grumbled Vivi as she walked out of her room."It's because of Darren! With all the presents he could have bought for me, why did he give me wine instead..."Vivi stopped rambling when her footsteps stopped in front of the bathroom door as a flash of events suddenly appeared in her head."This is so good. Do you want to try some?"Vivi covered her mouth with both palms, remembering what she had said to Darren after she had opened the door for him."No!" Vivi shook her head with both eyes closed, trying to stop the memory of suddenly kissing Darren first while drunk."It was a dream, right? I couldn't have done something like that, could I? It was just a dream, right?"Vivi

"There's still an hour before the wedding starts. So if you want to invite your friends to take a picture, I'll–""No need." Vivi interrupted the speech of one of the employees who had helped organize her wedding. "There are no guests for me, so I'll just rest until the wedding starts.""Yes, of course. Please call me if you need anything."After the woman left, Vivi was alone in the room specially prepared for the bride.Vivi looked at her reflection in the mirror and let out a long sigh when she saw how beautiful she looked in her makeup and wedding dress. And even though this was not her first wedding, Vivi still felt the same nervousness she had felt at her first wedding."It's okay. It's not a real wedding. It's something you do as part of your job as a contract wife. So you don't have to be too nervous."Vivi, who had been unconsciously daydreaming, suddenly remembered what Lucas had said to her on their wedding day. It

"No! Why do I have to wear such clothes?" In the main room of Darren's luxurious house that would be their home from now on, the room that was decorated with rose petals and small candles to create a romantic atmosphere for the newlyweds, Vivi firmly refused when Darren offered her black lingerie. Her eyes bulged, making her panic clearly visible to Darren. "Of course, to make me happy," Darren said. "It's our first night, so-" "It's only a contract marriage!" Vivi interrupted Darren's speech with a high-pitched tone amid her fear of being trapped in this room alone, with Darren forcing her to change into sexy lingerie that would clearly expose every curve of her body. "There is no first night in a contract marriage!" "No?" Darren repeated Vivi's words with a raised eyebrow. "Ah, you must be equating it with your previous marriage. Did he leave you on the first night to comfort his girlfriend, who must have been very sad because of your contract marriage?" Vivi didn't respond to D

"You look more beautiful than I could have imagined."Vivi listened to Darren's compliment with a flushed face. No, she was not blushing because of Darren's praise, but because she was embarrassed by herself, coming out of the bathroom in the main bedroom wearing black lingerie that contrasted with her white skin and exposed every curve of her body."Come here."Darren sitting on the bed with his back leaning against the headboard, called Vivi to come closer while extending his left hand.Vivi placed her palm on Darren's hand and let him carry her onto his lap. Darren smiled, his hands already exploring Vivi's body, while Vivi's eyes, which didn't even meet his, were blank as if she was daydreaming."Look at me."Vivi blinked when she heard Darren's command as his hand cupped her face. Both of Vivi's eyeballs moved slowly, and only a moment after her eyes met Darren's, the man began to attack her, landing a kiss on hers.Vivi didn't c

"I want it again right now, and you know you can't refuse me," Darren said as he grabbed Vivi's shoulders with his hands, then brought her body down onto the bed that had seen the heat of their first night."So it was all a lie?"The question that Vivi asked with her slow, sad voice managed to stop Darren's movement that was about to kiss her. Darren looked into Vivi's eyes and realized that it was no longer fear or desperation that was reflected in those teary eyes.It was sadness. A huge sadness."You were kind to me. You gave me attention and warmth that I never felt from anyone else. Was it all just a lie to trap me and put me in this situation?" Vivi asked, and Darren fell silent.Darren remembered the days he spent trying to convince Vivi to marry him. Going back and forth to her apartment, having dinner with her, and even taking time out of his busy schedule just to see Vivi's face.Even though Darren keeps denying it, he's not stupid

Bang!"Oh, my goodness!" Lying on the bed and playing with his phone, Bryan jumped in surprise when the door to his room suddenly opened. And he immediately glared at Vivi as he saw the woman with the big belly walking toward him while ruffling her waist."What? Where are your manners, huh? Why did you just barge into a virgin's room?!" Bryan snapped."Where are you hiding him?" Vivi asked with an annoyed look."Hiding who? Can't you see I'm busy, huh?" Bryan argued as he was busy with his phone again."Seriously, Bryan! I don't have much time. The plane is leaving soon!" Vivi raised her voice in an annoyed tone, but Bryan just shrugged."Then hurry up and get going! Why are you lingering in my room?" snapped Bryan–who could comfortably call one of the rooms in Darren's house 'my room' due to the number of times he stayed there and used it."You don't want to tell me?" asked Vivi, and Bryan shrugged again. "Just watch out if I find him here!"Vivi turned to leave Bryan, causing the ma

Lucas put his cup down on the table after taking a sip. It hadn't been ten minutes since he'd sat down in this cafe to meet Vivi, but he'd almost finished his coffee before Vivi arrived. Unconsciously, the nervousness he felt was making him thirsty.Lucas didn't know why he felt so nervous. But the feeling came only after Vivi, whom he hadn't heard from in 5 months, suddenly contacted him and invited him to meet.Since Vivi returned to Darren, his relationship with Vivi, which was once intense, has been severed. He never hears from Vivi again, and even Bryan, who is still on good terms with him, never mentions Vivi or Darren in his presence.Lucas was very worried and wanted to contact Vivi at least once to check on her. But Lucas tried to suppress his curiosity for fear of putting Vivi back in a bad relationship with Darren. He assured himself that if there was no news, everything was okay because if something happened to Vivi, he would hear about it from Bryan."Have you been waitin
Wrong Contract With Mr. Hart A Lucky Baby
"Because there is a childhood wound that I want to heal.""What wound do you want to heal?" asked Vivi."My wounded heart from parents who never loved me at all," Darren says, causing Vivi to fall silent as she remembers Bryan's story about Darren's mother killing his father."As a kid, I wanted a lot of trivial things. But because I was afraid of my parents, I never said it and grew up without ever feeling those things. Now that I can get everything easily, I will no longer feel happy. So I want to heal the wound my parents left in my heart by giving my future child all I never had in my childhood," Darren explains."This child is so lucky," Vivi said as she gently rubbed her belly. "I am so jealous that he has a dad who loves him so much because I never really felt my parents' love." "Why would you be jealous? This baby's daddy is your husband. He's all yours," Darren said."I like this kind of feeling. Feeling happy without much effort. Just being in your arms and chatting without

"No need to go to the hospital!" Vivi immediately rejected Darren's invitation in a panic. "It's probably not because I'm pregnant. Maybe... Maybe it's just fatigue or a cold."Darren looked at Vivi worriedly–more worried than ever because Vivi refused his offer to go to the hospital."It's okay if you're not pregnant, Vivi. You should still go to the hospital for a checkup. We can't go home if you're sick," Darren said. He tried to say it softly so Vivi would not feel depressed because she thought he wanted her to be pregnant.Although, in truth, Darren was very upset to hear Vivi's suspicion that she might be pregnant with his child."You looked very happy when I said I might be pregnant." But it seemed that Darren had unconsciously made it clear enough for Vivi to see. "I didn't want you to be disappointed because–“"I told you I wouldn't force it. If you're not pregnant, if you're not ready, then it doesn't matter. But please, you should still go to the doctor and get checked out

"You're just in time." Standing in front of the stove with an apron attached to her body, Vivi greeted Darren's arrival with a warm smile. "I just finished making lunch. Wash your hands and..."Vivi stopped talking when Darren, who was walking towards her, suddenly hugged her tightly. It surprised Vivi that the man hugged her like that without saying anything."Darren?" Vivi called Darren's name softly. "What's wrong?" she asked in a worried tone."I miss you so much. So let me hug you like this for a while until my longing goes away," Darren said, which made Vivi hug him back immediately."Vivi." Darren then called Vivi in a soft way that he only used to call his wife. And after Vivi answered him with a soft murmur, Darren asked, "Are you happy with me?"Vivi did not answer Darren's question right away. She put her arms around Darren so she could see his face. And she felt that Darren must have said something that had shaken Darren's heart to ask her such a question.And without answ

"A- Ah! Shit!"Bryan cursed in annoyance that his gaming fun had to end when his phone suddenly rang. And he was even more annoyed when he saw Vivi's name on the screen."Hel-""What, huh? WHAT?!" Bryan didn't need to hear Vivi finish a word to immediately interrupt her with a yell, which surprised the woman and made her hastily move the phone away from her ear."Why are you yelling-""You don't remember how arrogant you were to me this morning about getting back together with Darren, do you?!" Bryan interrupted Vivi again, still yelling, which surprised Vivi very much because she was being scolded like that."Have you been fighting with Darren again? Did he hit you again? Hah! Enjoy it! I don't care anymore, so you don't have to call me to tell me-""What's wrong with you?" Vivi, who couldn't stand Bryan's incoherent tirade, finally interrupted him. "Are you secretly hoping that Darren will hurt me again?""So he hasn't hurt you?" Bryan asked, lowering his voice, while Vivi only answ

"Why do you look so upset? Is there a problem?" Lucas asked after sitting down in front of Bryan.A few moments ago, Bryan called him and invited him to dinner at a restaurant near his office. At first, he thought that Bryan just wanted to have dinner with him, but when he saw the annoyed look on the man's face, Lucas wondered if Bryan might have some problem."Yesterday, you said you were going to Vivi's apartment, right?" Bryan asked as Lucas nodded. "So it must have been you who beat up Darren so badly?"Lucas didn't answer Bryan's question right away. Because Bryan was so nice to him, he sometimes forgot that he was Darren's best friend since he was a baby. And it made him a little sad to think that Bryan had come to him with such an upset face because he was disappointed in him for beating up his best friend."Yesterday, I lost control of myself and beat him up like that," Lucas said in a low voice that sounded like a mumble.But Bryan's reaction was unexpected.

Wrong Contract With Mr. Hart Back to Where It Should Be
"Good morning, darling."Since her parting from Darren, Vivi had never seen anything like this, not even in her most beautiful dreams. To wake up from her sleep and to be greeted by a good morning from Darren, and then to receive a loving kiss on the forehead from the man.And the best part of it was that Vivi experienced it directly, not just in her dreams or wishful thinking."Good morning," Vivi answered Darren's greeting with her hoarse voice. She pulled the blanket over her body, which felt cold because it was not wrapped in any cloth. "What time is it?""It's very early. Go back to sleep if you're still tired," Darren said, tucking Vivi's messy hair behind her ear.Vivi turned her head to the window, which made her squint when she saw the sunlight shining brightly."Looks like it's already noon," Vivi said as she looked back at Darren. "Why aren't you getting ready for the office yet?""I'm not going to the office today," Darren replied as he shifted his body to get closer to Vi

"For the last time. If the same thing happens again, I'll let you go myself. Please give me another chance to prove how much I've changed for you."Vivi listened to Darren's plea while looking directly into the man's eyes. And it touched Vivi's heart when she saw how sincere and how much love Darren showed her with his gaze.Vivi had never received so much from anyone else. She had never felt so much sincerity from anyone. But Darren always gave her more than she could bear, whether sincerity, love, or fear. And Vivi felt thrown back into the abyss of dilemma when she couldn't decide if the love Darren gave her was strong enough to overcome her fear of him."You can have any woman you want. Easily, without all this struggle. You can make women crawl under your feet. But why did you go to all this trouble just for me?" Vivi asked about the confusion that had always been in her heart.The question of what exactly Darren saw in her made him willing to give up everything for an ordinary w
