Vivian’s POVIn Dominic Blackwood’s eyes, I used to be nothing more than a stubborn adhesive bandage he couldn’t shake off. Everything I did, he believed, was just to grab his attention.It was my fault. I loved him too humbly. I lowered myself so much that he began to think I was destined to stay by his side for life.I took a deep breath and forced my tone to stay calm. “Dominic Blackwood, I know I was blind and foolish before, always longing for things I couldn’t have. But now I’ve come to my senses. I just want a divorce and to give you your freedom back.”To him, my words sounded like complaints.His thin lips tightened. “Vivian carter, have I been too lenient with you lately, making you forget your duties as Mrs. Blackwood?”I was so infuriated I almost laughed. “Dominic Blackwood, I’m seriously discussing divorce with you, and you think I’m joking?”He shot me a cold glance. “You’d better stop playing hard to get. Even if you’re not tired of the act, I’m exhausted just watching

Vivian’s POVChildren who can't have candy are the best at throwing tantrums. If I want to make a scene for a few days, then let me. Who's going to indulge me?Dominic Blackwood quickly texted me: "Alright, I'll give you some time to reflect. Think about where you went wrong."When I received the message, I nearly cursed out loud.That jerk actually thought my leaving was just a way to save face for him.Hell no!After shutting off my phone, I boarded the plane. This trip was not only to finalize a brand collaboration but also to clear my mind and relax a bit.I really needed to reflect on why, for all these years, I had foolishly crushed my self-esteem and pride underfoot, offering my warm heart to be trampled by that jerk.He waited for my apology, but when it didn’t come, he frowned.In the past, I would reply to his messages in an instant, but now I was testing his patience over and over again.He immediately called me, but all he got was a message saying my phone was turned off.

Dominic povThat night, after finishing my work, I returned to Blackwood House just past midnight.In the past, whenever I promised to come home, no matter how late it was, there would always be warm food in the kitchen and lights on in the bedroom. The moment I stepped into the living room, a woman would bend down to hand me my slippers.But now, the living room was empty, and the lights were dim.Her unusual behavior irritated me for some reason, and my mood soured.Ah, it seemed she was staging a silent protest.I was only a little late returning home, and she was throwing a tantrum. Was it really necessary?I hadn’t even brought up her affair with James scott, and after finishing my work, I rushed back to give her face. What more did she want?My growing agitation became unbearable, making my temples throb. I strode toward the bedroom and kicked the door open. "Vivian Carter, get out here!"I gave you face.The bedroom was empty, and I frowned.Hearing the commotion, Margaret Blac

Chapter 4 You only deserve to pick up what I have left.As soon as I opened the door, I saw Scarlett Hayes nearly stumble to her knees in front of me, her eyes sparkling with barely concealed excitement.It was clear that she had been eavesdropping.I scoffed, “Scarlett, you don’t seem to be picky at all. You even enjoy picking up after others. Aren’t you afraid of grossing yourself out? Your tolerance is truly impressive.”Scarlett took it as a sign of my jealousy and replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, Vivian. I’ll take good care of Dominic. Thanks for your support.”I beckoned her closer with a finger. Knowing we were in the Moore Family Group's office, Scarlett hesitated but eventually moved in.I leaned in and mocked, “Let me tell you a little secret. Don’t be fooled by Dominic Blackwood’s handsome looks; he’s not good in bed at all.”Every time, he only cared about his own pleasure, leaving me exhausted.Scarlett had expected me to share some juicy gossip, but this revelation le

I took a deep breath, trying to suppress my emotions, and turned to smile at Scarlett Hayes. “Scarlett, long time no see.”Scarlett Hayes sauntered over gracefully. “Vivian, you don’t seem to be doing too well. This door is wide enough for even a dog to get through. You’ve been married to Dominic for three years, yet you still can’t get in?”I chuckled lightly. “What can I say? Some people just have a low opinion of others. Not everyone can treat people with respect.”Scarlett picked up on the underlying jab and smirked. “Vivian, I didn’t expect you to be so different from the Samantha I used to know. You’ve really surprised me.”“Likewise, you’re not as thin-skinned as before. Knowing full well that Dominic Blackwood is a married man, you still throw yourself at him,” I shot back.Scarlett wasn’t offended; instead, she raised the thermos in her hand. “Dominic has been busy since yesterday and probably hasn’t eaten. I made him some lotus root and pork rib soup. If you have something t

I opened my eyes and, realizing I was alone in the room, came to the grim realization that it had all just been a dream. I had spent the entire night lying in the study, and not a single member of the Blackwood family had cared about my well-being. If it weren’t for my good fortune, I might have died in this study last night.The suffocating and painful sensations from the dream still haunted me, and the indifference of the Blackwood family chilled my heart once again.Outside, I could hear the voices of Margaret Blackwood and Isabella Blackwood.“I saw she lost a lot of blood. If she hasn’t woken up by now, could she be... dead?”“Ha! If she’s dead, it would clear the way for Scarlett, saving your brother the trouble.”My heart twisted at the mention of that name.No wonder Dominic Blackwood had been home so little lately; his first love, Scarlett Hayes, had returned.Even though Scarlett had been gone for three years, her name lingered in my ears like a haunting spell.Every time Do
