Vivian's POVIce-cold water splashed across my face.I gasped.My eyes flew open as I sat upright instinctively, my heart pounding wildly.Beside me, David jolted awake with the same startled expression."What the—"Before either of us could gather our thoughts, an angry voice shattered the silence."What is going on here?"I turned toward the bedroom door.Charlotte stood there.Her elegant dress was soaked where the empty glass trembled in her hand.Her face had turned crimson with rage.Her eyes darted between David and me.I immediately moved away from David, my pulse racing."Charlotte..."She laughed bitterly."Don't you dare say my name."The room fell silent.David climbed off the bed, running a hand through his damp hair."Charlotte, listen to me.""No.""You listen to me."She pointed directly at me."I leave this house for a few hours, and I come back to find your ex-wife sleeping in your arms?"Tears welled in my eyes."It isn't what you think."Charlotte turned sharply to

Vivian's POVVoices.That was the first thing I heard.They sounded distant at first, like echoes traveling through a long tunnel."...her pulse is becoming stable.""She's opening her eyes.""Notify Mr. Kane."The voices became clearer with every passing second.My eyelids felt heavy.I struggled to lift them.A bright light greeted me, forcing me to blink several times before my vision slowly adjusted.The familiar white ceiling.The faint scent of antiseptic.The steady beeping of a heart monitor.I was back in the hospital.A dull pain spread across my forehead as I tried to remember what had happened.Then it came back.The street.The screeching tires.The blinding headlights.The impact.I instinctively touched my forehead.A bandage.Before I could think any further, the door opened.Alexander wheeled himself into the room.The moment our eyes met, relief washed over his face."You've finally woken up."His usually calm voice carried a trace of emotion."I was beginning to wor

Vivian's POVMy aunt stood frozen beside me.Her eyes remained fixed on Alexander as he wheeled himself into the spacious living room with the same calm expression he always wore. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, casting a warm glow across the polished marble floor.For a long moment, no one spoke.Then my aunt covered her mouth with both hands."No..."Her voice trembled."It... it can't be..."Alexander frowned slightly, studying her face.There was confusion in his eyes at first.Then, slowly...Recognition replaced it."Aunt Beatrice?"His voice was barely above a whisper.My aunt's eyes immediately filled with tears."Alexander..."She took two hesitant steps forward, still unable to believe what she was seeing."It really is you."A warm smile spread across Alexander's face."It's been a very long time."I looked from one of them to the other, completely confused."You... know each other?"My aunt laughed softly through her tears.

Vivian's POVThe ride to the Blackstone mansion felt much longer than it really was.I sat quietly beside my aunt, Beatrice, watching the familiar streets pass by through the car window. Every corner reminded me of a memory I wished I could forget.I had once driven these same roads with David.We had laughed together.Dreamed together.Planned our future together.Now...I was returning as a stranger.My aunt reached over and gently squeezed my hand."Nervous?"I smiled faintly."A little.""You don't have to be.""I know.""But memories are difficult to silence."She nodded in understanding."They are.""But today isn't about memories.""It's about justice."I looked down at my hands.Justice.Did such a thing even exist anymore?The car slowed before the tall black gates of the Blackstone estate.The security guard stepped out of his booth.The moment he saw me, his eyes widened."Mrs..."He stopped himself halfway.His expression became awkward."Miss Vivian."I offered him a poli

Alexander pulled me close, his strong arms wrapping around my waist like a promise I’d been waiting years to claim. His lips crashed against mine in a hungry kiss, deep and demanding, his tongue exploring my mouth with a fervor that sent electric sparks racing down my spine. I melted into him, my body responding instinctively. I couldn’t resist—between us, this had been building for so long, a simmering desire finally boiling over. His hands roamed boldly, cupping my breasts through the thin fabric of my shirt, thumbs circling my hardening nipples until they ached with need. A soft moan escaped my lips as he pinched gently, sending jolts of pleasure straight to my core.He didn’t stop there. One hand slid lower, slipping beneath my waistband, fingers brushing against the sensitive skin of my pussy. I was already wet, slick with anticipation. His touch was teasing at first—light strokes along my outer lips, parting them slowly to find my swollen clit. I gasped, hips bucking involuntari
