VIVIENNEI was sore down there after Ezekiel and I had multiple rounds, in different positions. We were like freed animals who were kept in the zoo for so long—wild and kept wanting more. So, after ‘fucking,’ we cuddled in his bed. I laid on Ezekiel's chest, my head resting against the warmth of his skin. His hand moved gently through my hair, brushing it in slow, comforting strokes. We had finished just before dawn, and now we were lying together, cuddling in each other’s arms. And as the minutes passed, the reality of what had happened started to settle in. I had given in again. Damn!What are you doing, Vivienne? Why do you keep letting this happen? I scolded myself as I lay there, feeling Ezekiel’s warmth beside me.The walls I had carefully built up around myself seemed to crumble whenever I was near him, and last night was no different. Despite everything, I couldn't deny the pull between us.The room was quiet except for the sound of our breathing. I could feel that I knew

VIVIENNE“What’s up, guys?” Ezekiel arrived a little later, arms full of food—pizza, fries, and pints of ice cream in different flavors. The kids’ eyes lit up as soon as they saw him. Ezekiel and I exchanged smiles. "Dad brought pizza!" Vera cheered, jumping up and down.Vince grinned, trying to act cool, but I could see how happy he was too. "What flavors did you bring?" he asked, eyeing the ice cream."Let’s see," Ezekiel said, placing everything on the kitchen counter. "We’ve got chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Everyone’s favorites."The kids immediately started grabbing plates and bowls, excited to dig in. I glanced at Ezekiel, and our eyes met for a brief moment. There was something unspoken between us as if we both knew that what we were doing now was just... casual. Just flings, as I had said. Even though we didn’t say anything, I knew we were both thinking the same thing.As the kids settled down with their food, we all moved to the theater room to watch a movie. Vince

VIVIENNE“I’ve been working on this office for you. I think you’re really going to like it,” Ezekiel said as we drove to his company. “It’s right next to mine, so we can work closely on the collaboration.”The city passed by in a blur, and Ezekiel was talking excitedly about the office he had prepared for me.We were now heading to Harrington Luxe here in New York. He wanted to show me my own office in his company in preparation for our collaboration. Yes. We would still collaborate for a collection but not with Alex anymore. I couldn’t work with that bitch after she hurt my son. And since Vince was also Ezekiel’s son, he felt the same way. “That sounds... great, Ezekiel. I’m sure it’ll be perfect.” I nodded, trying to focus on what he was saying. But my mind kept drifting to the last time I had walked into his company. The memory of that day was sharp, clear, and painful. I had gone there to catch him cheating with Alex, and the way the staff treated me—like I didn’t belong, like

VIVIENNE COULDN’T HELP but smile at how Ezekiel acted. The bitterness she felt when a gorgeous woman tried to talk to him faded away completely. “How’s your catch up with Caroline?” she asked after Ezekiel came back. But instead of answering her question, Ezekiel just stared at her meaningfully, as if telling her to behave. “What?” Vivienne asked again as she tried to act innocently. Ezekiel let out a breath, trying to calm himself. “Nothing,” he said more calmly. “I just noticed my employees were being a bit too... helpful earlier.”Vivienne felt the urge to smile foolishly but she restrained herself.“They were just being polite,” she just said while secretly liking how Ezekiel was acting.Ezekiel settled down to the chair in front of her. “Polite is one thing. Hovering around you like that is another,” he replied, crossing his arms. “I don’t want them bothering you while you’re working.”She raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a slight smile. “Are you jealous, Ezekiel?”

VINCE AND VERA were at the playground, together with other kids in their exclusive subdivision.“Vera, don’t wander off,” Vince warned his twin sister.Children were running around, laughing and shouting and playing with her sister, but Vince wasn’t interested. He stood off to the side, his hands stuffed into his pockets, watching the others enjoy while he was there, being bored. He could see their maids sitting on a nearby bench, both of them glued to their phones, completely oblivious to what the kids were doing.Vince couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Typical. They were supposed to be watching over them, but instead, they were more interested in their screens. He let out a small sigh, turning his attention back to his sister.Vera, who was busy twirling in circles on the grass, nodded quickly at what her brother said. “I won’t, Vince!” she promised, flashing him a big smile before going back to her spinning.Satisfied with her answer, Vince pulled a book out of his bag and sat do
