Lucas stood at the apartment door where he had lived during his contract marriage with Vivi. He looked hesitant, feeling that it was inappropriate to bother Vivi again after their contract ended, but he had to deliver his late mother's will to Vivi. Lucas raised his hand to press the bell. Once. Twice. Three times. But the door didn't open. "Maybe she's not home," Lucas thought. "Did you come to see the house?" Lucas turned his head as he heard a voice approaching. It was one of the security, he smiled broadly at Lucas when he recognized the man as one of the residents of this apartment. "Oh, there you are, sir. Haven't seen you around for a while," greeted the security. "Is Vivi out?" asked Lucas, causing the security to frown. "Yes," the middle-aged man replied. "She was moved out a few days ago." The security's answer surprised Lucas, which made the security even more surprised that Lucas had no idea that his wife ha

"Are we going to take a gondola ride afterward?" asked Vivi before she stuffed her food into her mouth.Vivi and Darren were enjoying their breakfast on the balcony of the best room in the hotel, overlooking the Rialto Bridge. Darren glanced at Vivi as he cut his bread, which made him gloomy when he saw how bright the woman's face was."Aren't you tired?" asked Darren as he placed the plate of bread he had cut into small pieces in front of Vivi, causing her to look at him with a slight blush at the man being so sweet to her on such an early day."No, no. I've rested well, and now I have plenty of energy to explore Venice," Vivi said with a smile.Darren stared at Vivi's face without saying anything, and although her smile looked beautiful, he didn't feel happy about it. He realized that Vivi was smiling and looking so happy because she had been texting Lucas.It was not Darren's attitude to harbor his frustration like this. Based on his usual behav

"Enough, right? ENOUGH, HUH?!"Darren didn't care about Bryan's emotions as he asked him in a snarling tone while glaring at his eyes. He casually took his phone from Bryan's hand to check the picture of him and Vivi that Bryan had taken, which subconsciously made him smile as he saw himself and Vivi posing together in one of the most famous flower gardens in Venice."Look, look!" And Bryan, the only one who continued to look angry at being used as a photographer by the newlyweds on their honeymoon, pointed back at Darren's face as he glared at what the man was doing with one of the photos he had taken."How many times have you changed your wallpaper? Why do you keep changing it every time you take a picture like this?" protested Bryan."It's up to me how many times I want to change it, why do you seem so annoyed?" replied Darren. "Let's go over there! The flowers there look nice.”Bryan shook his head at Darren, who was already walking to an

Vivi slowly opened her eyes, and when Darren's sleeping face was the first thing she saw, Vivi decided to close her eyes again.When she had slept earlier, exhausted from Darren's 'punishment', Vivi had suddenly dreamed of Lucas. Even when she was Lucas' wife and saw him often, Vivi rarely dreamed about Lucas, even though she thought about him every day. But tonight, she suddenly dreamed about Lucas, even though she hadn't thought about him.Vivi couldn't remember exactly what her dream was like. In the dream, she felt like she was living her old life as Lucas' wife. Then, when she woke up and saw that Darren was sleeping with her, Vivi felt slapped by a very harsh and painful reality.Her married life with Lucas is not good, and Vivi often feels hurt because she secretly loves a man who already belongs to another woman. But it feels much better than having to live a married life with Darren, who makes it like a roller coaster ride. He makes her life go up, down

"This is embarrassing! How could I be unconscious, and Darren see it first?"In the luxurious bathroom inside her room, Vivi couldn't stop grumbling as her hands continued to brush the blood stains on the white sheets that had previously covered her bed. She could have asked the maid to help her with the menstrual blood stains on the sheets. But she was too embarrassed and decided to take care of it herself, even though she continued to grumble.But the movement of Vivi's hand brushing the sheets was stopped when she suddenly remembered Darren's face when he saw her menstrual blood staining the sheets.It was normal for Darren to show a disgusted expression when he saw blood on his bed, and even though it would offend her, Vivi would understand it because for men who were not used to it, finding menstrual blood on the bed would feel like something disgusting.But Darren didn’t look disgusted. At first, the man looked surprised to see blood on his be
