Vivienne never thought she would find such perfection in that place, but what she did know was, that she would not miss the opportunity to get to know Jacob Coleman in depth. No matter how much Jacob resists, Vivienne has already made up her mind, and she won't give up on it until she achieves her goal: to have him for herself.
