(Vivian’s POV)I watched Kai as he talked with his friend. Somehow, one of the guests at Sophia’s birthday party turned out to be Kai’s college friend. And I had let them chat while I enjoyed the cake and drinks provided at the dining table.The event became livelier after Sophia cut the cake with Adrian. And at that moment, several pairs of eyes turned to me, followed by murmurs that escaped their lips.But I felt surprisingly calm because when that happened, Kai was right beside me, holding my hand tightly as if it were a charm he had given me on purpose.And it worked.I remained calm throughout the party.“Are you okay?” Summer asked as she approached me with a drink in her hand. She placed it on the table behind me and stood beside me. We both stared at Sophia and Adrian, who were busy chatting with their friends, showing off their affection, shamelessness, and arrogance, right in front of me.“They’re putting on quite a show,” she muttered.“Well, thanks to Kai, everything felt

(Vivian’s POV)My heart was still racing.Kai’s hand gripped mine tightly, leading me down the hallway, away from Adrian, away from his venomous words that still echoed in my ears like a curse.“You think she’ll stay with you, Kai?! She’ll crawl back like she always does! That’s what sluts do!”I clenched my jaw. My steps faltered for a second, but Kai didn’t stop walking. He kept going—calm, firm, unwavering.I lowered my head, biting my inner cheek. My eyes burned, but I refused to cry.Not anymore.Once we turned a corner and reached a quieter area, Kai finally stopped. He turned to face me, his expression unreadable.“You okay?” he asked again, his voice much softer now.I looked up at him, struggling to keep my face neutral. “Yeah. I’m fine.”He didn’t buy it.“Vivian,” he said, his hand lifting to gently tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “You’re trembling.”I exhaled shakily and looked away. “It’s just… anger. He makes my blood boil.”But the truth was, it wasn’t just anger.

(Vivian’s POV)“Ah!”His body pounded into me, uncaring of how cramped the car was. I could even feel the car rocking from the movement.It was wild—too wild—but also too good. I wouldn't lie—I enjoyed having sex with him.Damn it!Despite the limited space, I spread my legs, giving him access to keep moving on top of me.It felt like heaven—something so difficult to put into words.His manhood… it felt so big, hard, and demanding.He pushed deeper inside me, and we truly lost ourselves in the moment.

(Vivian’s POV)He scoffed when I opened the door and told him to leave, especially when I said, “See you in court.”But I didn’t care. Not anymore.I no longer had any affection for him.My love was gone. Completely. And I didn’t want it back—not for a man like him.“Bastard,” Adrian hissed, his jaw clenched, his eyes wild and burning with rage.His breathing was erratic, as if he had just suppressed an explosion of anger.He then stood and walked out of my office, but not before pausing for a few seconds to look at me.“You know, you're the cheapest woman I've ever met,” he spat.Unfortunately for him, those words didn’t sting at all.Because I knew I wasn’t what he claimed. I knew exactly who I was.“Well, you're free to say whatever you want.”“Ck! You’re not even as innocent as I used to know.”Behind his tall figure, Martha stood frozen. Her eyes widened as she saw me standing there like a statue.“Go, Adrian. Face the truth.”“You played with me, Vivian!”I sighed and crossed my

(Vivian’s POV)I sat silently in the back seat of Willem’s black car, my hands clenched tightly on my lap, and my fingernails digging into the skin of my palms.My breathing was heavy, as if I were holding back an ocean threatening to spill from my chest. Nervous, afraid, angry, but also strong—all the emotions clashed inside me like a storm.Today was the court day. The day I had to face Adrian directly—the man I once loved with all my heart, but who had now left nothing but scars that would never heal.“Vivian,” Willem’s calm voice reached me from the driver’s seat.He glanced at me briefly, his eyes filled with sympathy and determination.“You’re not alone. You know I’ll be there, from start to finish. We’re going to win this.”I nodded slowly, trying to take a deep breath.“Thank you, Willem… If it weren’t for you, I might’ve given up from the beginning.”The car stopped in front of the courthouse. Reporters and cameras had already gathered outside, like a flock of vultures smelli
