When Nathan opened Vivian’s door, this was what he walked into.
Vivian stood there in a tiny silk camisole that barely covered anything.
He frowned.
Vivian seemed to realize this looked bad, but she stubbornly kept quiet, just stared at the floor.
Finally, Nathan shrugged off his jacket and draped it around her shoulders.
“Come on, let’s get inside. It’s freezing out here,” Nathan said.
Only then did Vivian nod and follow him in.
Vivian gave Nathan a once–over.
He’d changed his whole outfit.
She could tell he’d gotten dressed before coming over here.
He and Amelia had been in the same house–what the hell would make him need to change clothes?
The more she thought about it, the more pissed off she got.
She’d finally managed to completely shut Amelia down, but now there was some random kid screwing everything up, plus those two ancient assholes meddling!
All her hard work was going down the drain. What if Amelia ended up pregnant with Nathan’s baby again?
But the angrier she got, the more she had to keep it together.
She just sat next to Nathan with puffy red eyes, constantly dabbing at tears without saying a word.
Watching Vivian like this, Nathan felt totally lost.
After a minute, he said, “Hey, stop crying.”
But that just made Vivian cry even harder.
She looked up with tears pouring down her cheeks.
She reached for his shirt collar.
“Whoa, what are you doing?” Nathan frowned and pushed her hand away.
“You slept with her, didn’t you?” Vivian sobbed. “Nathan, didn’t you say you were getting divorced?”
“Nathan, you promised me. Why would you hook up with her?”
“Nathan, I’m dying inside. I literally feel like my heart is breaking.”
Seeing Vivian fall apart like this, Nathan felt completely overwhelmed.
Looking into her tear–filled eyes, he finally said, “No.”
He paused, then added, “Nothing happened with Amelia and me. My grandparents just want us both there for breakfast tomorrow.”
“Seriously?” Vivian’s heart jumped.

Chapter 74
Nathan looked away, “Yeah”
Sering that Nathat didn’t seem to be bullshitting her, Vivian was practically ckling inside
Amelia was such a fucking lover. Even with everyone hacking her up, she still couldn’t get it done!
And…
Vivian shot Nathan a look. She had him wrapped around her finger.
Even if Amelia stripped down and threw herself at him, he wouldn’t give a shi
But on the surface, Vivian kept up the waterworks.
Once she completely locked Nathan down, everything else would be easy!
With that in mind, she scooted closer to Nathan.
“Nathan.” She leaned into him, her breath tickling his ear.
Tonight she’d specifically put on this nightgown and sprayed some of that special perfume–all to finally seal the deal!
Thinking this, Vivian melted against Nathan’s shoulder.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I shouldn’t have asked you that, but I was just… so scared.”
Nathan glanced at Vivian and tried to subtly shift away.
Vivian caught it and said with watery eyes, “Nathan, why are you pulling away from me?”
Nathan looked down, dodging the question: “How are you feeling right now? Physically, I mean.”
Vivian blinked, then totally misread the room.
She blushed and said sweetly, “Just having you here makes me feel better.”
“Nathan, would you stay over tonight? I’m ready for…
you
know.”
They were both adults–Vivian’s meaning was crystal fucking clear.
But Nathan just felt his head start to pound.
He knew exactly what Vivian wanted, what game she was playing.
But he wasn’t interested. At all.
Even with Vivian practically naked next to him, smelling like sex and whatever, he felt absolutely nothing.
Zero desire.
Vivian was already rubbing up against him, hands wandering, trying to grab his hand and put it on her chest.
But he shot up from the couch.
“Nathan?” Vivian’s voice was all confused.
“You’re sick. You need to rest,” Nathan said, not even looking at her.
“Nathan, don’t you want me?” Vivian’s voice cracked.
Nathan didn’t answer.

Chapter 74
“She gets to have yin, but I don’t?” Vivian’s voice was getting thick and nasty. What’s she got that I don’t have?“
“Nathan, I want this. Please just give me what I need.”
By now, Vivian was being completely explicit.
But Nathan still wasn’t having any of it.
“I gotta go. Grandmother’s expecting me for breakfast tomorrow.” Total bull excuse, but Nathan grabbed his keys and headed for the door.
“Nathan!” A sharp, desperate scream.
Nathan had to turn around, and what he saw made his stomach drop–Vivian Handing there buck naked.
She was crying. “Nathan, can’t you just fuck me already?”
Nathan slammed the door shut so nobody in the hallway could see.
Then he walked over to Vivian.
He grabbed her clothes off the floor and started helping her get dressed.
“Vivian, I’m beat. I’m just not feeling it tonight.”
He honestly felt nothing.
Even with Vivian naked and throwing herself at him, he had zero interest.
“Just take care of yourself,” he said.
But Vivian only cried harder.
“But…” tears streaming everywhere. “Nathan, I’m running out of time. You said you’d make my dreams come true, but you won’t even touch me.”
“Is it because of her? Amelia.” Vivian said. “You still love her, don’t you?”
“Please just take me. I’m begging you, Nathan.” She was full–on sobbing now. “Even if you pretend I’m her, I don’t care.”
Nathan’s head filled with images of Amelia crying.
His emotions were all fucked up.
“Get some sleep,” Nathan said. “I’m out. I’ll send a doctor over to check on you
“I don’t want a doctor!” Vivian screamed like a banshee.
After Nathan turned back to look at her, she said, “Nathan, do you… think I’m disgusting?”
“Because of that night…”
She completely lost it.
“We’ve been together forever and you’ve never laid a finger on me. Is it because of what happened that night?”
Nathan stared at the floor, hands balled into fists, but said nothing.
Vivian let out this bitter laugh. “Yeah, I’m gross. I’m dirty.”
“But Nathan, I didn’t want that to happen…”
She couldn’t even finish.

Chapter 74
Those few words took everything out of Vivian. Iter legs gave out and she collapsed on the Done, sobbing,
Nathan looked down at Vivian, his hand shaking.
Finally, he got down on her level and handed her some tissues.
“Vivian, that wasn’t your fault,” he said quietly, like he was talking to a hurt kid. “That was on me.”
The doctor he’d texted showed up. Nathan helped Vivian get her clothes back, then let the guy in.
When Vivian saw the doctor, pure terror flashed across her face.
She couldn’t let him examine her!
