(Vivian’s POV)"Ready?"Kai’s voice broke the silence in the room just as I was packing.I turned from the suitcase I was organizing and found him leaning against the doorway, one eyebrow raised and arms crossed."Not yet," I replied with a stiff smile. My heart was beating faster than usual. "I mean, just a little more."I was holding a pair of sandals that I hadn’t put into the suitcase yet, but it felt like I was holding a ticking time bomb.Kai walked toward me, his steps calm as always.He wore a simple black T-shirt and jeans, yet he still looked striking in my eyes, striking as in... handsome and sexy.I swallowed hard as he stood next to me, his eyes scanning the half-filled suitcase."You look really tense. This is a vacation, not an exam," he said lightly, though his voice only made me more nervous.I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled."This isn’t just any vacation, Kai. I’ve never met your family before. This... this is big."He looked at me for a moment before chucklin

(Vivian’s POV)The morning air was crisp and salty as I slipped out of the villa. Everyone was still fast asleep. I needed space—away from Kai, away from last night’s lingering jealousy, away from the storm inside my chest.I quietly made my way to the pool that stretched out toward the open ocean, surrounded by lush palm trees and white sand. The villa was designed to breathe—no gates, no solid walls separating it from the wildness of the island. I liked that. It felt… honest.Dipping into the cool water, I allowed myself to float on my back, staring up at the soft gradient of dawn above me. My thoughts kept circling back to Joanna—her smile, her comfort around Kai. The warmth in his eyes when he looked at her.I let out a small sigh, brushing my wet hair from my face. This is ridiculous, Vivian. You knew what this was. Just sex. No promises. No attachments.And yet, here I was—feeling attached."Well, good morning."A male voice startled me. I gasped, flipping upright in the water a

(Vivian’s POV)“She’s waiting,” I said curtly, arms crossed as I stared at Kai. “Don’t make her wait too long.”I didn’t wait for his response. I turned, heart hammering behind a practiced mask of indifference. The sound of his footsteps followed mine as we walked into the living room where Joanna stood, perfectly styled in her beige linen dress and fake sweet smile.“Kai,” she greeted him with that sugary tone that made my skin itch.Kai’s mother, God bless her effort, smiled and looked at me kindly.“Vivian, honey, you can come with us! We're just going grocery shopping for Thanksgiving dinner. It’ll be fun.”Fun? Watching Joanna cling to Kai like a toddler with separation anxiety? I don’t think so.I offered her a polite smile. “I’ll pass, thank you. I’d rather not be the third wheel.” I didn’t bother hiding the bite in my words.Kai’s mother blinked in surprise, but before she could respond, a voice cut through the tension.“I’ll come along,” Alex announced cheerfully as he stroll

(Kai's POV)Water from the shower poured over my body, which still felt hot, not from the temperature, but from the lingering effect of Vivian's touch that hadn’t faded from my skin.I stood stiffly under the heavy stream, letting it hit my face, hoping it would wash away something deeper than just sweat, desire that had been stirred, a restless heart, and the confusion that kept stabbing deeper.Vivian… that woman… her smile, her touch, the sound of her moaning as her fingers ran along mine.Her trembling voice as she cried, whispering my name."I love you, Kai."I blinked. That sentence kept echoing in my head like lightning splitting the night sky.Love? She loved me? It felt strange. It shouldn’t be like this. Damn it.How could she have feelings I had already warned her not to have?Damn it! Whether she was being honest or not, I truly couldn’t stop thinking about her.I walked out of the bathroom with a crumpled towel draped over my shoulder and loose grey sweatpants hanging aro

(Vivian’s POV)Alex immediately ran to me as soon as he saw me."Shit! What happened?" His voice was sharp with concern as he rushed toward the small bench where I sat, clutching my ankle under the shade of a tree. His brows furrowed in worry as he knelt beside me, his eyes scanning the abrasions on my hands and the blood on my scraped knees.I gave him a weak smile. “I’m fine… Really, Alex. It’s just some scrapes. My ankle hurts a bit.”He didn't look convinced. “Vivian, this doesn’t look fine.” His fingers hovered over my ankle, not touching, but close enough for me to feel his frustration. “You’re bleeding. And your ankle looks swollen.”I swallowed hard and tried to smile again, though I knew it was a pitiful attempt. “I was walking toward the beach… I didn’t really know the way, and out of nowhere, this guy on a motorbike just—he hit me and took off.”Alex’s jaw clenched. “He ran away?”I nodded. “Didn’t even stop to check if I was alive.”He cursed under his breath and ran a han
