*Vivienne*As I slowly woke , the first thing I noticed was the softness beneath me and the warmth surrounding my body. For a moment, I’m enveloped in a haze, unsure of where I am. My eyelids fluttered open, and I found out I'm resting my head against something solid yet gentle— a masculine arm. Confusion danced at the edges of my mind as I took a moment to orient myself. The room is bathed in soft morning light, and the faint scent of something familiar—his cologne—filled the air. My heart began to race as realization dawned: I’m in his bed, in his arms.I glanced up, taking a moment to appreciate his handsome features. His strong jawline is relaxed in sleep, and his tousled hair falls perfectly over his forehead giving him an air of boyish charm. There’s an innocence and peacefulness in his expression that makes my heart flutter—a stark contrast to the confidence he carries when he’s awake.My fingers twitched with the need to trace the sensual curve of his mouth but I curled them

*Vivienne*“Help me, Vivi,” I heard her sob. “Please help me.”And my heart plummeted, panic gripping me tight. I straightened in my seat, my fingers tightening around my phone. “Where are you?” I managed to sputter, my voice barely above a whisper. Each breath felt heavy, as if I were drawing in lead instead of air.“I... I don’t know... please...” Her cries echoed, raw and desperate, twisting my gut into knots. I clenched the phone tighter, feeling her fear seep through the receiver, a palpable thing that gripped me like a vice.I felt my surroundings tilting, the air thickening as dread washed over me. My mind raced, conjuring images of accidents, dark alleys, and shattered glass.I quickly squeezed my eyes shut as images of her lying in a pool of her own blood tried to push its way to the center of my mind. No, she is fine. She will be. “Rosa, I need you to calm down a bit for me,” I forced out even as I felt my chest constricting making it hard for me to breath. “Please.”Slow

*Vivienne*“Where is she?!” he shouted, his voice laced with an edge that made the hairs on my neck stand up. I instinctively stood and moved to stand between him and her, my heart pounding. “How did you get in here?” I muttered. How did he even find us so fast?I snuck a glance towards the door, my brow furrowing when I noticed that Eric wasn't coming. “Get out,” I said firmly, my voice steady despite the adrenaline surging through me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”He ignored me as his gaze slowly locked onto her, a predatory glint in his eyes. “Baby, come on. You know I didn’t mean it,” he said, his tone shifting to a sickly sweet coaxing. “Just come home. Let’s talk this out. I miss you.”Like hell, this jerk was trying to manipulate her into staying?Her expression faltered, and I could see the conflict swirling in her eyes. “No, don’t—” I started, but he cut me off, stepping closer, invading our space. I quickly grabbed Rosa's arm and moved her to the other end of the room. “

*Vivienne*He is angry with me. He looks like he is angry with me. Pressing my lips into a thin line, I sneaked a quick glance at him seated across from me, his gaze focused outside the car window. My eyes fell to the hard set of his jaw and yup… looks quite angry if you ask me. I adjusted in my seat and cleared my throat. “Have you heard anything from the hospital that Eric and his sister were taken to?” I started, trying everything to get rid of the awkward air between us. His head swiveled in my direction, his eyes locking with mine. “Yes, they underwent surgery an hour ago,” he answered and returned his gaze back to the window. “I will pay for the surgery,” I offered with a sense of guilt. “You don't have to,” he retorted, his tone clipped. “The bill has already been paid for.”I clamped my mouth shut, my teeth digging into my lower lip. “I just wanted to pay for the damages that I have caused,” I mumbled to myself, my fingers tightly knotted together. I don't think I have

*Vivienne*As I slowly surfaced from the depths of sleep, the soft rustling of fabric was what gradually pulled me from my dreams. My senses stirred, and I blinked against the gentle morning light flooding the room.A small smile pulled at my lips as delicious memories from last night drifted lazily through my mind. I recalled waiting for Liam but later ended up falling asleep before he could get back. He must have carried me to his room because I was currently lying in his bed. I turned to his side of the bed and then frowned when I noticed it was empty. I reached out and touched his pillow which was now cold. He must have either gone out early or he didn't sleep here at all. I sighed and sat up, the blanket slowly slid down to my exposed cleavage which only made me aware that I was still naked. “Good morning,” an unfamiliar voice said. I yelped and jolted upright, my heart racing. My eyes widened as they landed on an older woman moving about the room. Her silver hair was neatly
