CHAPTER 32 - WORRY ABOUT YOU

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-09 22:50:08

(Vivian’s POV)

"It’s just business. A deal. Nothing more."

Kai’s words kept echoing in my head like a warning sign deliberately planted so I wouldn’t forget them.

It felt suffocating to hear him say something like that. But what could I do about it? I couldn’t even get angry or ask Kai to explain how he could see this relationship as nothing more than business. A deal. Nothing more.

After all, from the very beginning, our relationship was just business. So what was I hoping for from all of this?

Nothing.

"Stop whining like a woman desperate for affection and love, Vivian," I muttered to myself. "You were even betrayed by your husband. You should know better by now."

That pain still lingered in my heart. And I didn’t want to feel it again—being betrayed, hurt, discarded—after I had given everything to the man I loved. Even my life. Yet all of it ended up like worthless garbage.

I arrived at Kai’s penthouse and immediately let my body fall onto the bed. I was exhausted, and I didn’t hav

  • Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle   CHAPTER 33 - HICKEY

    (Vivian’s POV)“Thank you, I appreciate it,” I said.He walked toward me and grabbed my waist in one swift motion, pressing against the part of my skin that was only covered by a satin nightgown.I gasped as he lifted my chin with his warm fingers. Our breaths grew heavy, and in one movement, he claimed my lips with a sensual kiss. Heat spread through my body, burning away every trace of irritation I had felt before.Every touch from Kai felt like magic. It made me feel insane—completely obsessed with him.When he teasingly bit my upper lip, a small moan escaped from me. My hands clutched his arms, and the touch on my backside made me jolt, instinctively pressing my body against his.He smirked, clearly satisfied with my reaction.That was exactly what he wanted.“Kai…” I whispered in his embrace.I was still panting, trying to steady my breath and hold myself back from falling deeper into this. He kept staring at me without saying a word—his eyes looking at me like he wanted to devou

    (Kai’s POV)"Come, follow me. I don't want to talk here."I walked down from the office with heavy steps, one hand brushing against the slightly rough wooden railing, leading her away from my office.Willem walked half a step behind me, his expression neutral, but I knew damn well he was holding back a laugh.The night air from an open window hit my face, carrying the smell of alcohol and a faint perfume that, for some reason, felt irritating."I told you not to interrupt," I muttered without looking back.Willem chuckled softly, his steps relaxed, as usual."I always come in like that. You never cared before."

  • Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle   CHAPTER 30 - NEXT TIME, I'LL BE GENTLER

    (Vivian's POV)"Are you still mad?" I asked softly. My hoarse voice was barely audible, but enough to make him turn his head.I stared at the ceiling of the room, dimly lit by the soft glow of the bar’s hanging lamp. My body remained limp, resting against the cold yet cushy black leather sofa.Kai didn’t answer right away. He just looked at me with sharp eyes once I decided to meet his gaze, though he didn’t look as angry as before.His hand slowly brushed the side of my thigh, where the blanket no longer covered me, then moved along the curve of my waist.My breathing hadn’t returned to normal when Kai’s deep, heavy voice slipped into my ear."No," h

    (Vivian’s POV)The door closed with a soft thud as Kai locked it from the inside.My breath was still ragged, my cheeks burned, and my body had yet to recover from the fury that had just consumed me.But his eyes—those eyes—blazed like embers. Silent, calm, yet full of unspoken turmoil.I leaned against the wall of his office, trying to calm myself, but before I could utter a word, Kai stepped forward swiftly.His hand slammed against the wall beside my head, trapping me between his searing body and the cold, hard concrete."Kai..." I whispered softly, but that was all I managed to say.His lips crashed onto mine with a force and hunger that stunned me.There was no gentleness. No warning.Just urgent pressure, his tongue invading my mouth and claiming every inch it could reach.My breath hitched as his hands framed my jaw, leaving me no room to turn away.My body tensed, then melted into his embrace. I wasn’t prepared. But I wanted him. Even when one of his hands slid down, pulling m

  • Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle   CHAPTER 28

    (Vivian's POV).I saw the woman chuckle as she placed her hand on Kai's chest. She whispered something into his ear, then, without hesitation, started leaning in, clearly intending to sit on his lap.Without thinking, I grabbed Kai's wrist and pulled him towards me. "Excuse me, but this man is with me!" my voice was firm, louder than I expected.The woman turned to me with a raised eyebrow. "With you?" She laughed mockingly. "Honey, everyone can have fun here. Kai doesn't mind, does he?"Kai didn't answer, just stared at both of us with a flat expression, as if he didn't care how the situation developed. It just made me even more annoyed."I don't like sharing, so get out of my way," I said sharply.The woman didn't give up. "Why share when we can enjoy it together?" She smiled wryly, clearly provoking me.I clenched my fists, trying to hold back my temper, but this woman was really testing my patience. I picked up my drinking glass and, without thinking, poured the contents into

    (Vivian's POV)I stepped into the bar after getting off the taxi, adjusting my eyes to the dim lighting filled with red and blue neon lights. Loud music filled the room, mixing with the sounds of laughter, boisterous conversation, and clinking glasses. The cacophony made me a little dizzy, but I walked in anyway, searching for Kai among the sea of people.I zipped up my jacket, feeling uncomfortable with the overcrowded atmosphere. I forgot to ask him where his whereabouts was in this bar.People were dancing on the dance floor, some couples were busy kissing in the corner, while others were sitting at the bar with their drinks.I took a deep breath, trying to stay focused on finding Kai. Well, I didn't like this situation. Never. If it wasn't about my problems, I wouldn't come here.As I walked through the crowd, suddenly a man stood in front of me, blocking my way. He looked drunk, with a lopsided smile that was clearly impolite."Hey, beautiful. Alone?" he asked, his voice hea

  • Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle   CHAPTER 26

    (Kai’s POV)I just finished the last meeting of the day. My client this time turned out to be too much of a perfectionist, even for small things. But the result was satisfactory, and the contract was signed properly.As I head to my car, my cell phone vibrates. Willem's name is on the screen. I picked it up as I walked to the large window overlooking the city."Any good news?" I asked directly.I don't like beating around the bush, and of course, I knew that he was contacting me for information."Yes. I just got out of the courthouse. The divorce papers are being processed, and... it looks like we can salvage the assets in Vivian's name," Willem explained, his voice sounding more enthusiastic than usual.I frowned. "Good job, Willem. And then how?""There was a loophole in Adrian's asset transfer process. We found strong indications of embezzlement. And more interestingly... the embezzlement came from Adrian's mother's account, but the funds originated from Vivian."I turned around,

  • Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle   CHAPTER 25

    (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! Take back your assets and get a divorce from your bastard husband!" I reminded myself agai
