Vivian’s POV…When I finally wake up, it is four in the afternoon. The room is bathed in a soft, warm light that seeps through the partially drawn curtains.My body feels heavy and lethargic as if I have been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I slowly drag myself out of bed and walk into the bathroom, my muscles protesting with each step.I take a moment to gaze at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes are tired, and my body is carrying the marks of last night’s craziness. I splash some cold water on my face, hoping to invigorate my senses.After freshening up, I walk out of the room. The aroma of freshly prepared food fills the air. The servant has laid out a simple yet comforting meal for me. I sit down, savoring each bite.As I finish eating, a sense of restlessness takes over. I step outside into the garden.The cold breeze brushes against my skin, refreshing my senses. I like the calmness of the surroundings. The vibrant colors of flowers catch my eye, their delica

I cannot get rid of the images I witnessed in the countryside. Megan's wicked smile as she handed the man a syringe flashed before my eyes, sending shivers down my spine. I am sure she is planning on injecting me with drugs or some kind of substance in order to manipulate me once again.Megan is a ruthless and vile woman. She is too dangerous. I am determined not to let Megan hurt me again, not to become a victim of her manipulative schemes once more. My mind is set on protecting myself and not falling into her nefarious plans.Needing to cleanse myself of the unease and tension, I head straight to the bathroom when I get back home. The warm, inviting water from the showerhead cascades over my body, washing away the grime of the day and the weight of fear that clings to me.I let the water run over me, closing my eyes as I try to clear my mind. The sound of the rushing water provides a comforting backdrop, helping me find a momentary escape from the turmoil inside.I slowly lather the

Sensing his anger, I want to provoke him more. I play my part, pretending to be scared and vulnerable, clinging to the stranger. The man also hugs me tightly, his expression hardening."Move aside," he says.George doesn’t pay attention to him. He is solely focused on me, his eyes burning with a mix of fury and possessiveness."Vivian, come here," he growls, his voice a low, dangerous rumble.I shake my head and hold on tightly to the man beside me, fueling George's anger even more.The stranger, too, is visibly displeased, refusing to let me go."Vivian…" George grits his teeth, his face red in anger. "Leave that man right away," he commands."Hey… Why are you yelling at her?" The man barks. "She is with me tonight. If you are interested in her, you can take her tomorrow. Now move."George’s attention turns to the man. In a flash, he swings his fist and hits the man in the face, knocking him unconscious.I press my hands over my mouth, looking at the man lying motionless on the floor

George’s POV…I look at her retreating form. I can sense that she is hiding something.Her face appears slightly flushed, and the beads of sweat on her forehead hint at the effort she put into whatever she was doing in the study. She didn’t go to the study just to look for books.I'm sure she is up to something. A part of me wants to probe further to uncover her secrets. But another part of me, the one that has fallen for her all over again, doesn't want to push her away or cause her any more pain.A sense of guilt gnaws at me, a reminder of the hurt I caused her at the time. In the past, I pushed her away, prioritizing my own desires above her well-being. Now, however, I am ready to pay the price for my past mistakes and stand by her side, no matter what challenges we may face.I don't care about the plans she has or the secrets she keeps. All I care about is having her in my life again. I want to see her every day, share meals together, and cherish the moments we have.Vivian's pres

A week later…George has been busy these days, dealing with problems in his company. I am alone in the villa, checking on his company's news. The news about George's company continues to dominate the media. The news about George's company continues to dominate the media. The problems are only growing.Michael’s family is all set to acquire the company, while George is struggling to fight back.I can't shake off the feeling of guilt and sorrow for what I've caused, even though it was my mission. I wanted to see him defeated. My mission is complete. I should walk out of his life. I pack my belongings and am ready to leave.In the meantime, I receive Megan’s call. Her unexpected call catches me off guard. She is asking me to meet her."Please don’t say no. I need to talk to you, Vivian. Please come to Mary’s café." Her voice sounds different, pleading, and almost vulnerable. It's a side of her that I've rarely seen.I contemplate whether I should meet her, as I know she has been manipula
