(Vivian’s POV)"Why do you even care?"The words slipped from my lips without warning. My tongue felt heavy, and my head was spinning like the world was dancing without rhythm.I held my third glass of the night—or maybe it was the fifth. Who cared anymore?Kai just stood there. Silent. His eyes were sharp, fixed on me like I was the only woman in the room. His jaw was clenched, but he didn’t say a word. Not even one."I asked you, Kai… why do you care, huh?" I let out a small laugh and lifted my glass. The last sip burned down my throat. “Oh, right. You don’t care. You’re just here because… what? You pity me?”His expression didn’t change. But his eyes—cold and intense—made my chest tighten."Then go," I muttered, stumbling toward him. "If you don’t care, then leave! I want to have fun!"I pushed his chest—not hard, just enough to show how tired I was of his silence. Kai only moved slightly, not resisting. His jaw was still tense.Then I turned around. The music was pounding around

(Vivian’s POV)The sea breeze gently brushed against my face as Kai’s car came to a stop in front of a luxurious villa that stood quietly at the edge of the beach. Its large windows opened to a view of the sparkling blue sea under the morning sunlight. I stared in awe, holding my breath.“Wow…” I murmured unconsciously.Kai smiled and opened the car door for me. “You like it?”I turned to him and nodded slowly. “This... is amazing, Kai.”“Good. Because this weekend, this place belongs to just us,” he said while giving my butt a light smack, making me flinch and glare at him. “Relax. It’s a sign of appreciation.”I huffed, but said nothing. I was used to it. Kai had always been like that—flirty, overly confident, and annoying. But foolishly, I kept coming back. Again and again.We stepped into the villa. The atmosphere inside was warm and cozy, with high ceilings and wooden decor that was simple yet elegant. Kai walked to the kitchen, grabbed two bottles of cold water from the fridge,

(Vivian’s POV)The sound of water splashing echoed softly in the dimly lit marble bathroom.Warm steam filled the air, creating tiny bubbles on the surface of the bathtub where Kai and I were soaking together.My back rested against his chest, his warm body enveloping mine from behind.His hand gently stroked my arm, which floated in the water.Then he stopped.I felt his fingers touch my wrist, right on the spot that was still red.Kai went quiet for a moment. His breathing rose and fell in a calm yet heavy rhythm.“This… It’s too red,” he murmured, his voice low and tinged with regret. “I was too rough last night.”I turned slightly, trying to catch a glimpse of his face from the corner of my eye.Kai's expression was full of guilt. His gaze was fixed on the reddish mark, as if blaming himself.Honestly, I wanted to be angry, but the sudden tenderness in his demeanor made it impossible.Yes, I wanted to be angry at him for being so rough during sex, but I won’t lie, I enjoyed it, ev

(Vivian’s POV)Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back. My chest felt tight, as if something was choking me from the inside. I hated how weak I sounded, how desperate I seemed in front of Summer. But that was the truth.“Vivian…” she whispered, gently squeezing my hand. “Loving someone shouldn't hurt this much. It shouldn't feel like a punishment.”“I know,” I replied, my voice barely audible. “But what can I do, Sam? He never promised anything. I agreed to the terms. I told him I wouldn’t fall in love with him. But I lied. Not to him. To myself.”Summer looked at me with sympathy, then softly brushed a strand of hair away from my face.“I wish I could hate you for doing this to yourself,” she said, her voice trembling, “but I can’t. Because I understand. Love makes people do crazy things.”I gave a bitter smile. “Crazy enough to be someone's sex partner and stay silent even when I know it’s going nowhere.”“That’s not true. You don’t know that.”“Yes, I do. He made it very c

(Vivian’s POV)“I’m going to Bali at the end of this month,” I said while dipping a biscuit into my warm tea.Summer immediately turned her head, her brown eyes widening.“What?! Bali? With Kai?”I nodded slowly, feeling my cheeks heat up just from hearing his name.“He invited me to join his family for Thanksgiving there.”Summer dropped her spoon into her bowl of soup.“Vivian, that means… He’s introducing you to his family. You two aren’t even officially dating yet, and he’s already taking you to a family gathering? This is more serious than I thought!”I gave a stiff smile, trying to calm the sudden pounding of my heart.“We’re just... well, living together. I’m not even sure that’s the reason he invited me.”Summer narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Oh, please, V. You two are practically a married couple already. Living under the same roof, you cook for him, he picks you up from the office, and now... Bali? Thanksgiving? Come on.”I lowered my gaze, biting the edge of my nail. “But
