18.93% Contractually Yours: The Billionaire's Unlikely Bride / Chapter 25: CHAPTER 25: VIVIAN

Capítulo 25: CHAPTER 25: VIVIAN

With his permission, Briar was a in good mood, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms willingly like a child who had received candy.

That was the first time Briar was initiating something, so Logan took advantage of that and used those hands which had been holding her hands to caress her back.

Feeling too excited, Briar, like a child, started to share her dreams with Logan, and the more he listened, the more he smiled.

Briar was too excited. She didn't know how long she talked, but one thing was for certain; she spent a very long time doing so.

As for when she slept, she had no idea.

However, someone clearly remembered everything clearly. Especially when in the morning, he looked at the sleeping young maiden snoring soundly, her chest heaving up and down.

He didn't know what she was dreaming, but that smile on her face made his lips involuntarily rise as a glint of pride flashed in his eyes.

When he thought of what the girl dreamily confessed, Logan leaned in closer to her and looked at her for a while.

When sleeping, she looked much more relaxed than when facing him.

That used to upset him as he thought that she feared him much, but after that sleep talk, Logan couldn't contain himself.

He lowered his head and intimately kissed that forehead with a smile.

'Sleep tight, my darling!' he affectionately looked at her for a moment before reluctantly climbing down the bed.

No matter what, he was a working man and needed to go to work. There was still time to talk about what she might not remember once she woke up. At least, it gave him the overall idea of what was happening, and he didn't seem to loathe it at all.

Logan didn't go to the bathroom at that moment but unceremoniously turned off Briar's alarm. She had talked too much until the wee hours of the morning. She might as well take a break this morning.

As a result, when Briar naturally woke up, she nearly bashed herself.

11:30 am.

How did she oversleep?

Was this the comfort of this room and bed?

Briar covered her face embarrassedly with her hands, scolding herself for being too relaxed.

Talking about getting too relaxed, she didn't do anything in her sleep, right?

She was a good sleeper, never sleepwalking, or talking. Her sleeping habits were good as well.

Thinking like that, she heaved a sigh of relief. It would be shameful if she showed an embarrassing self.

Having some faith in herself, she took a deep breath, mustering her courage.

Since she had overslept, there was no need to cry over spilt milk.

With that in mind, Briar rose from the bed and started getting the room ready.

She aired the sheets and everything. Since she was now the wife, why let another woman clean her room?

That's how a lot of women got their husbands stolen. There were so many people out there eyeing these people. With how versed she was with herbs and charms; bedrooms were so intimate that allowing anyone in them might cause a lot of damage.

She was overly cautious.

After cleaning the room, she took a shower and changed into something casual before leaving the room. By the time she was done, it was nearly around 1 pm, and she felt no more shame.

What was wrong with oversleeping after sleeping with her husband?

When the maids saw her, they looked at her a bit too overenthusiastically; it made her blush with shame. What were these people thinking about?

Although they didn't say it, she could tell that their thoughts were as rotten as hers. Unfortunately, nothing happened, and she wasn't even sure when that would happen.

Anyway, there wasn't much for her to do at home, especially after receiving a message from the butler that she didn't have to deliver lunch to Logan's office.

Without much to do, she could only play at home. However, that was boring. So, what could she do?

Only if she was in charge of preparing her husband's birthday banquet. She would head over to the ancestral house and lend a hand. Unfortunately, that couldn't be done.

Talking about birthday presents, she didn't buy anything for him this year. As the wife, she needed to up her game.

She wasn't going to let anyone point fingers at her this time. Last year, she was just the nanny, but this year she was the wife.

There should be a change.

Feeling determined to prove herself, Briar, who had nothing to do a while ago, suddenly was filled with vigor.

Since she was going out, she informed the butler to prepare her car for her. She was going out.

After instructing him, she hurriedly went to the fourth floor to get a change of clothes.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

In the middle of picking among the few clothes she owned, her phone started ringing.

"Who might be calling now?" she asked out loud as she put the dress she had picked on the counter before walking away.

Since all the clothes were in the closet and her phone was in the bedroom, she had to walk over there.

The phone continued to ring, so she increased her pace and when she picked it up, a smile involuntarily blossomed on her face.

Seeing the caller, Briar swiped the phone to answer, walking back to the closet to continue with her picking.

"Hello!" she answered in a bright voice, showing how much the person she was talking to was someone she truly liked.

[Um! You sound a bit too different. Darling, tell me. Did you win the lotto by any chance?]

Briar chuckled helplessly as she placed the phone on top of the counter, before putting the call on speaker and answered, "Yes, I won the lotto. How can you predict so well? Are you some seer's apprentice now?" she asked teasingly, imagining how dumbfounded the other was right now.

[Tche! Your tongue became even sharper as well. Tell me, where are you right now?]

"Me? I am home but about to go out. Are you back?" she asked curiously, her brows arching upwards.

[Um, I am back and at home. Since you are going out, I will join you. I want to catch up on everything!]

Briar shook her head with a chuckle, finding the other person's curiosity still over the top. The other person had never changed at all. It was a good thing.

"Sure. We will take my car!"

[No, your car is too flashy. I will bring mine!] the other responded before hanging up.

Du. Du. Du.

Hearing those sounds, Briar didn't seem to be shocked at all but simply chuckled before she continued to find something appropriate to wear.

'It's going to be a crazy day!' she shook her head as she thought about the crazy person that she was going to meet.

After rummaging for a while, she found something to wear.

"I need to buy more clothes!" she concluded as she looked at the clothes in the closet.

These clothes weren't fit for the wife of Logan.

After changing, she went downstairs and as she was walking towards the door, the butler caught up to her reporting, "Ms. Vivian's car just entered through the gates. Are you still using your car?"

Briar looked at the butler with a mysterious smile on her face. The old thing didn't even overhear her conversation with her friend earlier and yet he had already assumed that she won't be using her car. This man was very dangerous.

"Um. I will be using hers. Sorry for the trouble, Uncle."

The butler heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the change of expression on the second madam's face. "It's no trouble at all, just doing my job."

Briar smiled at him without saying a word and continued going outside.

When she got outside, Vivian's white SUV was coming to a halt. Briar smiled helplessly as she looked at the big car.

What was the point of driving such a big car? This friend of hers was truly an over-the-top kind of person. However, she liked her so much.

"Hey, girl! Hurry up!" Vivian called out to Briar as soon as she rolled down the window.

Briar raised her hand, motioning for her that she understood before she turned to look at Uncle Marcus.

"Uncle, when the kids return, just tell them that I went out with Vivian. I will be back as soon as I can."

The butler nodded as he responded, "Sure. I will tell the young master and mistresses when they return."

Briar nodded at him before she hurried towards the car. She couldn't let Vivian wait for long. This best friend of hers tends to get impatient at times.

"You really know how to make an entrance!" Briar licked her tongue as she got into the car.

Vivian rolled her eyes as she eyed Briar from head to toe. Briar ignored that gaze as she buckled her seat before looking at Vivian.

"Why are you scanning at me like that? Did I grow a horn on my head?" Briar sarcastically asked as she rolled her eyes at this next-door friend of hers.

Upon hearing that, Vivian's lips rose in a smirk as her gaze fixated on her ears.


Capítulo 26: CHAPTER 26: VIVIAN 2

Upon seeing what she was looking at, Briar unconsciously covered her ears, cursing herself inwardly for being a blabbermouth. If Vivian still remembers the things she told her many years back, then did it mean that she got caught before flaunting it?

Why did everyone get to know about it before she exposed it herself?

Vivian, seeing her friend covering her ears, smirked as she opened her mouth to click her tongue sarcastically, "tsk, tsk, tsk. To think that in the week I had been gone, my dear friend got married without even telling me? Tell me, which bastard fooled you to do this without saying a word?" she asked, her eyes narrowing dangerously at the thought of her friend getting fooled.

She and Briar had been friends for eight years, to be exact. They were neighbors for over a decade and yet became friends after two years of Briar moving into the Meyer family.

Vivian still recalls how much she disliked Briar when she saw her. She was just a country bumpkin who didn't go to school but worked at a young age. She had to take care of the Meyer's kids and honestly; she looked down on her.

At such a young age, she was concerned about money and didn't go to school. It was these kinds of girls who would grow up to become vixens and mistresses who would wreck other women's marriages.

After seeing how her parents' marriage was getting wrecked by such a girl, she didn't even want to see Briar at all. Unfortunately, just because she didn't like her didn't mean that she could chase her away.

Instead, she could avoid her and not bother about her. And she managed to do so for two years until one fateful day.

Her parents, being hot-headed and fighting every day like two roosters, went at it again and this time she got hurt. But those two people didn't even see that she was hurt. They were so concerned about their fight.

Feeling frustrated and wronged, she ran out of the house and just decided to walk far away from home.

Unfortunately, she underestimated her wound. She had been hurt badly.

The pain struck her on the road, and she could not move at all. Their neighborhood was very secluded, and the mansions were a distance apart. Unless it was a busy time, seeing cars on the road was very scarce.

She had left her phone at home, so she couldn't get in touch with anyone. At the same time, returning home was something that she didn't want to do. She was tired of watching her parents fighting.

In the end, she crouched on the road and started crying. It was raining and a perfect moment for her to vent out her frustrations.

She cried a bit too much. She blacked out at some point. When she woke up, she was in a strange room but not a hospital. Wondering where she was, the door opened and when she saw the person; she was shocked and embarrassed.

She still recalled how much of a big fuss she caused on that day upon learning that it was Briar who had saved her. Briar coming from an errand, saw her on the road and fainted, so she brought her to the mansion.

They couldn't send her to the hospital since they were sure that's what she wouldn't want.

Anyway, because of that incident, she got to know Briar better. They didn't become close friends because of that incident, but it sparked a motive.

When her parents learnt of what happened to her, she received a scolding for her life before she was forced to go and thank Briar for saving her.

It was through those engagements she saw Briar in a new light. After observing her several times, she had an inkling that she wasn't that bad.

With all prejudices thrown away, the two became friends and upgraded to best friends. They had been best friends for eight years.

What she should know about her, Vivian knew, and vice versa.

And one of the things she knew about her friend was her home village's marriage customs.

Seeing an additional piercing, Vivian's heart nearly popped out of her rib cage. Either she got married without her knowledge or she got messed up with. From what she knew, the female from Briar's village could have a second piercing when they got married or slept with a man.

Getting deflowered meant you were an adult. In other words, Briar slept around when she was gone? That was impossible.

Someone must have fooled her into marriage. And thinking about how her innocent friend who only had eyes for that family got scammed, she wanted to find Mr. Myer and ask him how he could let such a thing happen.

On second thoughts, he shouldn't know about the meaning of the second piercings, right?

Looking at Briar, who was looking at her guiltily, Vivian exhaled a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She was afraid that if she spoke right now, they might not end up going anywhere.

"V, I …. Umm," Briar seeing Vivian puffing knew that she was in trouble. She couldn't help but nervously try to say something.

However, Vivian raised her hand at her, stopping her from saying anything as she said, "Let's get out of this place first. And then you can slowly tell me what the heck happened!" her tone commanding.

Briar hung her head low as she nodded, agreeing to what had been said. Vivian, seeing her friend being obedient, nodded with satisfaction before putting the car in gear and moments later, the car was speeding away.

The butler, seeing that, shook his head before returning not the mansion and muttering, 'These girls are both from the same mold!' still very astounded at how they both love speed.

Vivian drove the car and left the Meyer's mansion. After driving for a while, she parked by the roadside and looked at Briar as if saying, 'Now confess your sins and you will be spared!'

Briar, facing such a scary Vivian, knew that she would have to confess everything. Otherwise, the story would never end. Besides, it wasn't like she wasn't going to confess. Vivian was her best friend, must closer to a friend than Lyra.

While Lyra was like a best friend as well, she was a daughter and a little sister. Lyra wasn't someone that she could share everything with. She was someone she needed to treat with love, and care and know her limits, otherwise it would backfire.

But Vivian was the kind of a friend she could share her secrets with, show her other sides are people didn't know, though she would never be that foolish.

Nonetheless, for things like marriages that everyone was going to know soon, it was better for her to tell her friend first-hand than to let her hear about it through the grapevines.

And surely, she did the right thing to confess in person, as after spilling the whole truth, Vivian was in a daze.

Briar didn't push Vivian but waited patiently for the other to digest the news.

After waiting for a while, Vivian looked at her and ordered, "You drive. I don't think that I have the energy to do so, anymore!" before alighting from the car.

Seeing that, Briar's lips twitched as she followed suit.

As she took the driver's seat, Briar couldn't help but wonder how her friend would react if she knew of her decade crush on Logan. She probably would be sending the other to the hospital.

With her in the driver's seat, Briar put the car into gear and started driving away. Since she was the one driving, Vivian could take all the time. She wanted to think about this matter. She needed to buy a lot of things at the mall, and if they continued to park by the roadside, the day would be wasted.

She was going to the ancestral home tomorrow with the family. She won't have time for herself.

On the way, Vivian forgot the number of times she had pinched herself.

It still felt like a prank the more she thought about it.

However, when looking at that glaring second ear piercing and how Briar would never lie to her about such serious matters, she became very angry. She turned to Briar and started yelling.

"Briar, if you were short of money, why didn't you tell me? You can't sacrifice your youth by marrying a man who is fifteen years older than you and has three grown kids! Don't you know how tough is going to be to marry him?" the more she thought of the obstacles in front of her friend, the angrier she became.

The world was going to judge Briar and not Logan. Briar would be labeled with unpleasant titles just because she was the wife. That was something that wasn't going to be hidden away from.

That was the brutal truth. He didn't even hold a wedding for her, and that would make people look down on her.

Some so many women wanted Logan badly. If they were to learn that his nanny became his second wife, what kind of violence would come for her friend?

Even her elder cousin was in love with Logan. When she learnt that Briar snagged the man, what kind of reaction would she make?

She didn't even want to think about it. What about the other women?

What about his family?

What do they think about this whole issue?
