Vivi almost deceived herself into believing her story. But she clearly knew what she was doing.
She would never let herself fall for a criminal.
"I believe you, Vivi. I swear that I will never fail you as long as you are willing to believe in me too," Duncan gushed as he stopped and took hold of her hands. He basked in joy when he heard Vivi's affectionate confession.
He was completely ready to forgive Vivi for breaking up with him without the slightest hesitation.
He didn't care that she had cheated on him with another man.
At that moment, as he held her soft trembling hands, he felt like they were the only ones in the world.
As the dusk set in, the pleasant, intoxicating fragrance of flowers wafted through his nose, and the reflection of the window panes in the deserted villa danced in the light of the setting sun.
Duncan glanced around to see if there was anyone around. Then he stared obsessively at the lovely girl in his arms. Only he knew how much he wanted to pounce on Vivi and press her against the floor. He wanted to ravage and relish her right then and there.
Ever since Vivi had left him, he hadn't seen any other women.
Not to mention, his wife was back in their hometown, far away from Y City.
As he snapped out of his daze, he dropped the luggage onto the ground. With a blank look, he reached out to unbutton Vivi's shirt.
"What are you doing, Duncan?" Vivi asked in a panic, as she caught his hand which was now touching her collarbone. 'She knows what I want. She's just playing coy, ' Duncan thought with a smirk.
But he didn't realize at the time that Vivi was waiting for Warren.
"You know what I am doing," he replied with a nasty smile. "Don't worry, Vivi. There's no one around here. It's just you and me."
He impatiently pulled her into his arms. Defeated by his sexual desire, he bit her earlobe sensually and slowly stroke her back.
It had been a long time since he had last touched a woman.
Today was a memorable day for him. He not only had his girl back, but would also have all the money he wanted. He felt like a winner.
He wanted to celebrate his special day.
As Duncan was totally engaged in making out with Vivi, Warren appeared from behind him in a flash, seized both his arms in a powerful grasp and pressed his head against the ground. The officer swiftly took out his gun and pointed it at the criminal's head.
"Who...who are you?! What are you doing?" Duncan asked in a fluster. He was caught completely off guard, and couldn't think properly as he was pressed violently against the cold ground.
"You can stop your acting! You know what you did. Did you think that you could fool everyone and have a happy ending here?" Warren grilled him with a long face. He gave off an authoritative, stern aura which betrayed his identity as a police officer.
Duncan immediately came back to his senses. Glowering at Vivi bleakly, he huffed, "You ratted me out, didn't you?"
He was disappointed in her. It had never crossed his mind that Vivi was not really on his side even though he had entrusted her with a great deal of money.
'She never loved me. I was too naive. I thought I could change her mind and make her fall in love with me.
But this woman is as heartless as ever, ' he thought angrily.
"You can't blame me. When I went to the mall to get the money, they spotted me. I already broke up with you! Why did you have to come to me and get me in all this trouble? I don't want to go to jail!" Vivi shouted at him hysterically.
