Was that how Steen punished people who let their minds wander when they were in the middle of a conversation? Even if that person was a man, would Steen still punish him like that? Vivian couldn't help but think about that ridiculous thing all night, but luckily, Steen left her alone after he finished punishing her with his mouth. It was indeed a punishment because it really hurt her, and there was even a cut on her bottom lip because of what that man had done to her. It was only a penalty kiss, and Vivian felt no pleasure at all when their lips touched. However, she was still lucky because that strange man went to bed immediately after kissing her, and nothing happened to them the last night. The strange man didn't ask her to sleep in the same bed, and that was why Vivian could only sleep on the sofa without using a blanket. Maybe Steen's heart was made of steel, and that was why the guy didn't even bother turning off the air conditioner even though he knew there weren't any other

In the end, Vivian had to repeatedly lie to her mother. She was reckless, and she didn't realize that how she revealed that her mother was about to have surgery soon would be suspicious in the woman's eyes.Her mother knew how she struggled to find the money for the surgery, and she was also pessimistic that she would be able to find the money within a month. That was why it was very suspicious when Vivian suddenly said that her mother would be able to have surgery in a month.In the end, Vivian told her mother that she got a low-interest loan, and that was why she was able to pay for her surgery. Her mother actually disapproved of the idea of borrowing money, but after Vivian convinced her that she would be able to pay off the debt, she finally relented.Vivian's heart sank when she once again had to lie to her mother, but she kept telling herself that it was for her mother's sake. So, when she finally left her mother in the hospital, she kept telling herself t

When she wore a dress like this, she shouldn't be thinking about money, right?A wedding was supposed to be a very important moment for a woman, and when she put on her beautiful wedding dress, she should only think about her husband and the future she would have with him, right?Kate Dahl was the one who ordered the wedding dress for her. The woman took her to a famous designer a few weeks before the wedding, and here she was now, wearing the beautiful dress chosen by her mother-in-law.It was an off-the-shoulder A-line wedding gown with sequin detailing all over the gown. It managed to show Vivian's perfect collarbones as well as her back, and even her perfect hourglass figure was displayed beautifully.Indeed, this was not the time to think about why the Vesters family could still ask for a dowry even though they intended to pay off the debt by marriage, nor was it the time to think about why the Dahl family still paid the dowry.It was too comp

Trigger warning: this chapter contains mild sexual violence....Vivian's body froze, whether from the hot breath right next to her ear or perhaps from the question that came from the man. Or maybe it was because of those two reasons that she failed to move her body at this time.But then she flinched slightly when a large hand suddenly landed on her chest before groping one of her breasts without giving any prior notice. Her breath hitched, but she kept looking at their reflections in the mirror. She could see how Steen's head was still close to hers as the man continued to bend forward, and that was why she could feel how the man's hot breath was very close to the side of her face.She could see in the mirror how the man's right hand kept groping her right breast, and she almost let out a sinful moan when she started feeling pleasure from what the man was doing to her chest.Her pair of blue eyes filled with clouds of lust little

Her eyes were swollen, her neck was covered in bite marks, and she couldn't even move her body to sit up even though she managed to wake up this morning.Fortunately or unfortunately, she was still alive.She was lying alone in bed with the blanket covering her body. Her blue eyes were fixated on the ceiling, and they were empty as if the soul within her body had left the vessel.Last night, she had managed to climax only because of Steen's long fingers. She had to admit that she was shameless as she was even able to climax after she begged the man to stop. She even cried when feeling the pain caused by the man, but when the man suddenly changed the movement of his fingers inside her, she shamelessly moaned loudly as she reached her climax.It was embarrassing, and as she felt her entire body losing strength after reaching her climax, Steen heartlessly let go of her body, and she would even almost fall to the floor if she couldn't support herself by holdi
