Vivian stood still as people passed by, bumping into her on the street. She'd never felt worse than this, she craved Jaime by her side to a degree she couldn't even fathom.Reaching into her pocket, she took out her phone and called him. For a while, she heard the phone ring continuously, along with a haunting beep until her call went to voicemail.Maybe Jaime is very busy. It was only his second day at work but he was so busy with work. After being with him every day, Vivian forgot how to deal with loneliness. Now that he's gone to work, loneliness haunts her all the time but she can't do anything about it. Jaime made her believe that he would always be there for her.Pressing a hand to her forehead, Vivian fought to calm herself and then took a taxi. She needs to do something. Hodja is angry, before he comes back to drag her back, she needs to turn things around. And before Jerry and Hodja join hands, Vivian cannot sit still and let everything be lost. It was with great difficulty t
She didn't expect him to ask so she wasn't prepared to say anything. She doesn't want him to know that they spent all their time teasing and criticizing her with their negative hearts. This only made him more embarrassed."Very good." She lied."Really?" He asked without any doubt, she nodded, wondering if he believed her."How do your job then?" She changed the subject."Boring. Lots of meetings. I don't like the board members.""Why so?" She tried to act interested even though she didn't want to be."They're just arrogant old men." Jaime smiled and reached out to caress her face. "I feel better when we talk. Sorry, I couldn't take your call yesterday.""Huh? Uhm... it's okay." Vivian smiled."I have to go." He leaned over to kiss her. "I will try to leave early."Vivian nodded, watching him walk out the door. As soon as she confirmed that he had really left, she quickly got dressed and went out. Today she will finish her chores and then go shopping to her heart's content. If he foun
Jerry had never heard of this problem. It wasn't like Vivian had shared anything with him but to hear these things from the mouth of another girl, and that girl was the one Jaime should marry, was truly upsetting."Really?" He asked coldly. "What does that have to do with Vivian?""You care about her, right?" She said, noting the defensive note in his voice. Jerry felt his expression twist in annoyance but didn't confirm her suspicions. "Jaime needs someone with business ability in addition to a woman waiting at home.""Their marriage is none of her business." He says."No, I believe it is." She coldly dismissed his idea. "How Jaime performs as director affects the company, and how the company operates will affect the JK Construction partnership. Vivian brings no benefit to this.""You have no right to decide that.""I'm Jaime's advisor." She raised her head, signaling power. "Jaime is vulnerable, he is and always has been. I believe you know Jaime stands on a deeper level in their re
Vivian walked out of the bathroom. The sight of her with her wet hair wrapped up in a towel made her look seductive. He wanted to bury his face in her shoulder to feel comfort. That, he thought, would energize him after a day full of tiring schedules. But at the moment he is in no mood to be intimate."Are you back?" She asked when she saw him, smiling. "You left early today.""I'll try to leave earlier in the next few days, maybe next week." He promised firmly. "Did you withdraw money today?"He caught the surprised expression on her face. Guilty, she muttered. "Right." Hurrying towards the wardrobe, she opened it to show him the new dresses inside. "I bought new clothes. You said I could use them as I like to shop. I hope you don't mind."She seemed worried. It made him feel bad like he was arresting her for something that didn't need to be thought about. But thirty thousand dollars spent just on clothes? This is not reasonable. Jaime still found it unbelievable but decided not to f
Vivian calls to tell Jaime that she's going home after her shift. With a guilty heart, he went straight home after the meeting. After seeing Juke at the door, he walked around the house with his nephew because he felt bored.The air was crisp but his mind wandered to Hodja's surprise visit earlier that afternoon. What does he want to talk about? Is there something about this marriage that he is unhappy with?Jaime believes that he and Vivian are doing well. Unless it had something to do with his aunt's visit the previous morning. Did she say something offensive to Vivian that he didn't know about but that everyone else knew about?"No ice cream today," Juke said sadly."Huh?" Snapping out of his thoughts, Jaime looked down.The little nephew pointed out to the street and then looked up at his uncle. "Aunt Vivian bought me ice cream from that place yesterday. It's gone now."Jaime raised his eyebrows, he crouched down to Juke's level. "Do you want ice cream?"Nodding, the boy said. "My
"The food here is really delicious." She heard Jaime comment as he filled his plate with food. "I'll take some home if I can."Vivian looked up at him, smiling quietly. Moving to an empty table, they sat down to enjoy their lunch. Around them, voices and laughter echoed loudly."What is that?" Jaime asked, looking at his wife's plate of food. "I want to try.""I've never eaten either. Here, you eat." Vivian said, pushing her plate towards him. It was as simple as that, she felt like they were dating, and the world seemed to be just the couple. A minute later, the image of a person blurred through her eyes, and she watched Luna pull out the chair next to Jaime."I saw you came early, but because I was busy welcoming guests, I couldn't come and say hello." She smiled. Noble makeup, curly hair, loose on the shoulders. Vivian suddenly felt too monotonous for her."We just arrived," Jaime spoke seemingly completely oblivious to Vivian's insecurities."I want to introduce someone to you." S
Vivian curled her hand into a fist. "How weak. The answer is obvious.""But a man always wants to be a hero." Luna reminded confidently. "Men always want to save women because they are the weaker sex. We both love Jaime, but he will definitely choose you."Vivian stared at Luna, wondering if she was crazy. Luna then pulled her hand and rushed forward, plunging them both into the pool.Water poured into Vivian's mouth and nose. After five long minutes of fighting death in the dark, she heard someone's voice."Vivian. I will save you." Jaime's familiar voice rang in her ears as he pulled her toward the edge of the pool. She coughed violently as she clung to her husband for dear life. Her clothes were soaked, and her hair stuck to her face.He then took her to shore. Immediately his hand brushed her hair away from her face, his affection and warmth there as if she always knew it was meant to be."Are you ok?" He asks. Still panting, Vivian just nodded, turning around to see Luna clinging
Vivian's body felt like it was on fire. Jaime's mere touches made her skin burn, sweat, and ache. His urgent hands and lustful mouth caused her defensive walls to crumble.If not for anyone else, her body was sensitive to him, easily as his lips grazed her breasts."Jaime..." Closing her eyes, she forced herself to ask. "Can you turn off the lights?" Although it made no difference since the sun had not yet set, the lighting in the room was distracting.As he moved to the table to turn off the lights, Vivian struggled to catch her breath, it seemed like an impossible task.Vivian's face turned red again as Jaime moved back between her legs as if it were the most natural thing to do. "Are you Okay?"Vivian looked away, distraught at the way she longed for him to touch her again. She was overcome with the fact that she lay there in just her bra and underneath him like a waiter, aware of his eyes, waiting for him.Biting her tongue, blushing to an even more embarrassing height, she looked
