ログインVivian pov If Jimmy knew that I had died in such a tragic and humiliating way, he would surely be heartbroken.I could not die here!With the last remnants of my consciousness, I staggered toward the window...The flames grew larger, filling the room with chaos."Fire!"People immediately screamed and rushed toward the emergency exit, creating a scene of utter pandemonium.Outside, Dominic Blackwood was taking a breath of fresh air when he saw Marvis rushing out in a panic. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?""Cough, cough... The backstage suddenly caught fire. The firefighters will take some time to arrive, so we need to get out of this dangerous place quickly."Dominic's eyes suddenly turned red with concern. "Where is Vivian Carter?""She should have... already gotten out. The staff has their own exit.""I'm not asking for 'should have'!"Dominic turned and pushed through the crowd, determined to find me. Marvis grabbed his arm, saying, "Are you crazy? Right now, saving yours
Vivian pov Wasn't he busy battling it out with Isaac Blackwood? How could he be here?Could he still be harboring feelings for me?When I looked back again, there was no sign of Dominic Blackwood in that spot.It seemed it was just my imagination.In the smoking room, Marvis lit a cigarette for Dominic Blackwood. The flickering flame highlighted his handsome face, making his features appear even more striking amidst the swirling smoke.Marvis couldn't help but comment, "Dominic, I suggest you drop all your pretenses. Your chances of rekindling things with my ex-sister-in-law might be better if you just go for it. After all, desire is a natural instinct; no one can escape it."Dominic Blackwood coldly exhaled a puff of smoke, muttering, "Get lost.""I'm just confused. If you really want to pursue my ex-sister-in-law, why not do it openly? Why act like a thief hiding stolen goods?"Dominic took a deep drag from his cigarette. "She rejected me. Am I supposed to just stick my face out fo
Vivian pov After returning to Paris from the pharmaceutical town, I began preparing for the fashion show.As Achievers partnered with both VYX and Walter's company, the event naturally involved teams from both companies.Lincoln Walter wasn't about to miss the chance to be alone with me, so he chose to personally oversee the project, while Marvis style took over as the representative from VYX.Lincoln knew that Marvis was a close friend of Dominic Blackwood, and Marvis was well aware of Lincoln's feelings for me. Their first meeting was charged with tension."Where's that guy who loves to backtrack? Did he get too embarrassed to show his face after being turned away?" Marvis quipped.Lincoln shot back, "Some people might want to backtrack, but they won't necessarily get the chance."Fortunately, their banter was just that—banter. They quickly approved the proposal I had put forward.After the meeting, Marvis style extended his hand toward me with a gentlemanly smile. "Vivian, I look
Vivian pov My voice was a bit hoarse. "I... I don't understand what you're talking about."Dominic Blackwood replied in a low tone, "Someone saw you at the obstetrics and gynecology department of the central hospital that day..."My heart sank. So, he was referring to my miscarriage.But just thinking about that poor child made my heart ache painfully.My eyes reddened slightly. "I consulted you about it, Dominic. You were the one who agreed to let me terminate the pregnancy. Are you really going to blame me for being heartless now?"Dominic felt a heavy pain in his chest.He had been feeling irritable at that time and knew that Margaret Blackwood had been giving me contraceptive pills, so he assumed I was lying, thinking I was trying to get his attention in this way."You... If you wanted a child, we could still have one."I let out a cold laugh. "Dominic, I don't have that chance anymore!""What do you mean? I said I was willing to give you a fresh start."My words cut into him lik
Vivian pov My eyes were filled with sarcasm. I knew that in Dominic Blackwood's eyes, I was nothing more than a warm bed companion. Even if he had some affection for me, it was only because of my body that he found so convenient to use."Then remember to keep your promise, Dominic," I said, my fingers deftly unzipping my dress, letting it slip down to my waist.Dominic felt a rush of blood to his head as he tugged at his collar, trying to regain his composure.I smirked coldly. "Dominic, how long has it been since you’ve been with a woman? Have you really been keeping yourself pure for me all this time?"Frustrated, Dominic signed his name on the document and tossed it at me. "Get out of here, and don’t let me see you again!"After putting my dress back on, I bent down to pick up the document. In the dim light, a victorious smile crept onto my lips. Dominic was far too arrogant; only provoking him would get results.Having achieved what I wanted, I stood up to leave. "Thanks, Dominic
Vivian pov The woman who collided with me was none other than Scarlett Hayes.Scarlett's hair was a mess, her makeup was a disaster, and her eyes were red from crying, smudging her makeup even further, making her look particularly disheveled.How could she have gotten herself into such a state in just half an hour?I teased, "Scarlett, are you planning to rush off to a Halloween party?"Scarlett's expression twisted into a snarl. "Don’t get too smug, Vivian. Who ends up laughing last is still up in the air!"I furrowed my brow. Did she have a falling out with Dominic Blackwood?"I’ve kept my promise. Even if Scarlett is feeling down, she shouldn’t take it out on me."Suddenly, a sinister smile crept across Scarlett's face, her smeared makeup making it all the more eerie. "Vivian Carter, I know your weakness, but you’ll never know what trump card I hold."It was the same old story.As I watched Scarlett walk away, a sense of unease settled in my heart.What on earth was Scarlett up to

Vivian POVJimmy was still just a child, and with his birthday approaching in a few days, he couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, what birthday gift did you prepare for me?"I felt a sharp pang in my heart. When Jimmy was very young, he had learned that he had a twin sister who had tragically passed away

Dominic’s POVThe BM project had been managed by me for over half a year, and just as it was about to kick off, a staggering three billion disappeared without a trace.
