[Vivienne]The moment the giant black gates of the Richardson estate come into view, my eyes start stinging with tears. My heart rate picks up, and my palms get all sweaty. After a long, long time, I am finally returning home, and truth be told, I don’t know how it’s going to go.Elijah gives me a smile and pulls over in the driveway.The moment I step out of the car, I am instantly greeted by Fido, my dad’s service dog. The five-year-old German Shepherd almost jumps over me, his paws reaching my shoulders. He barks and wags his tail, too happy to see me.My eyes burn from the impending tears, because I have only taken one step towards my home, and everything is already overwhelming.I pet him for a few seconds before he suddenly pulls me towards the house, knowing full well that I belong here.“Fido,” Elijah scolds him and tries to pull me away, but I stop him.“It’s okay. Let him.”We walk towards the front door, where we are greeted by Mrs. Williams, the housekeeper. Her face lights

[Vivienne]Before I even knock on the study door to let Dad know that I have arrived, he already welcomes me with a wave of his hand. “Come on in. I was waiting for you,” he says, and I take a seat in the chair across from him. He turns his wheelchair around to face me, his hands on the table.“I will not take much of your time. I understand you must be tired. Besides, we might have to head for dinner soon, or your mom will be furious.” He chuckles, and I smile, remembering how strict my mom is when it comes to punctuality.I wait for him to continue, and when he does, I almost cringe.“I heard about what happened,” he says, “about your divorce.”My divorce.The words sting so much that I bite my lower lip to hide the pain.“Elijah says you’re sure about this. But as a father, I have to ask. Do you really want to divorce Caden Lawrence?”I nod, trying to sound as confident as possible. “Yes, Dad. You heard right. That’s exactly what I want.”He leans forward in his wheelchair. “I’m not

[Vivienne]When I reach the hospital, to which Caden texted me the address, I turn to Marcus.“It won’t take long. Will you be alright waiting here for a while?”He happily nods. “Of course, Ms. Richardson. Worry not. Just give me a call whenever you want me to bring the car.”“Thanks, Marcus.”I turn to the automatic doors and walk straight to the elevators. Caden had mentioned the floor and room number in the text, so I simply follow his instructions. I just hope everything is alright. I tried calling him on the way to ask for more details about the urgent matter, but he never picked up.Typical Caden, of course—always hellbent on ignoring me.The elevator doors open, and I head down the hallway.I come to a slow halt, however, when the sight that makes me absolutely sick comes into view. I don’t think there’s anything worse than seeing your husband in the arms of another woman.My heart breaks for the millionth time, while unshed tears burn my eyes.I wish I could look away, but I c

[Vivienne]I storm out of the hospital, gritting my teeth, when I hear someone calling my name.I turn around, only to find Sasha and Mrs Lawrence walking towards me.Now what else do these two women need? Aren’t they satisfied after insulting me in front of the entire hospital?Mrs Lawrence is the first to shake her head, looking just as disappointed in me as she always did. I wonder why all these years, I tried to win her approval, it’s clear as day that she never really liked me. Her attitude towards me was always brusque and unfair, and not once but on multiple occasions she tried to push Sasha towards Caden, hoping her son would finally see the obvious difference between the two of us and leave me for real.“I can’t believe you just created a scene like that,” her wrongly directed accusation almost makes me laugh. “What were you thinking? Oh, wait. You weren’t. You never do. All you know is to embarrass us and make a fool of us. How can someone be so shameless, Sasha? Have you eve

[Vivienne]I’m not surprised that the woman who just slapped me turned out to be a Lawrence.They all are such idiots.This time it’s Caden’s sister.“You fucking bitch!” Avery growls, lifting her hand to slap me again but I stop her before she can.“Do that again and I swear you won’t be able to lift your arm for a week.”Her eyes shine with hatred. “How dare you insult my mom like that? She is ten times the woman you will ever be. I mean, just look at you. Nothing but trash! I bet Caden only married you because he pitied you. You have absolutely nothing to offer to this family. You poor, pathetic thing. Always playing the victim. You really are disgusting.”I have so much to say to her, but I stop myself and walk past her instead.She screams after me. “Don’t you dare walk away from me, you bitch. I’m not done with you yet!”“Well, I am.”Marcus opens the door once he parks it in the driveway.However, just when I’m about to slip in, Avery comes stomping her high heels and tries to y

[Vivienne]The next day, I wake up with a new sense of purpose. I finish my daily routine, get ready, and head downstairs in record time. Mom and Dad are already up and having tea in the garden. I greet them with a smile.“Good morning, Mom. Dad.”Mom is quick to notice my readiness. “Going somewhere?”“Yes!” I tell them because there’s no reason to hide anything anymore. “I have a few errands to run, and I thought I’d also pay a visit to Harvey. Let’s see how he’s doing.”My dad looks more than happy with my decision. “Harvey would love that!” he says with a wide smile. “You know how much he loves spending time with you. In fact, let me just call him and give him the good news.”Before he reaches for his phone, though, I stop him. “No, Dad, please. Let it be a surprise. I’ll go see him after lunch today. You don’t need to warn him or anything.”Dad laughs, shaking his head. “Okay, if you say so. But he’s going to be over the moon when he sees you.”“I hope so,” I say, feeling excited

“I think it’s pretty obvious who’s disrespecting whom.”We all turn toward the source of that comment.A woman stands by the stairs, tall and graceful in her beautiful clothes and jewelry. Her hair is pulled into an intricate bun and she has an air of sophistication that commands attention and awe.It is none other than Rosita herself.However, before I get to say something, that arrogant woman dashes over to her.“Ms Roe, I was just telling this girl that she has been so disrespectful to me that she needs to be removed from your premises before I do something about it. Can you believe the nerve of this girl? Look at my dress! She spilt coffee all over it! She must be punished! All the hard work you put into this dress is now gone just because she didn’t look where she was going. And on top of it all, she is blaming me for it. Just imagine it! She had the audacity to say it was my fault!”Rosita raises an eyebrow and looks at the other woman from top to bottom.“Is that so?” she asks,

[Vivienne]As we sit in her office, Rosita orders coffee and snacks for us.“So, tell me all about yourself. What have I missed? Where have you been? How come it’s so impossible to find you on social media? Because trust me, I tried, but no results.”She was right. I haven’t been as active on social media as I would have liked to be. After marrying Caden, I took it upon myself to make him love me back. I thought if I dedicated myself to our relationship enough, he would finally acknowledge my love for him. But I assure you that didn’t happen. Now that I think about it, I only humiliated and embarrassed myself.But those days are gone. I’m no more the same Vivienne, and I swear to God, I never will be.“Well, it’s a long story,” I tell her and she inches forward, cupping my hand.Her eyes soften. “Oh, Viv. I hope you know that you can tell me anything you want. We are still best friends, right?”I smile, my heart suddenly too full. “Of course, we are. That’s why I’m here. Aren’t I?”So

[Caden]After spending almost the entire day at the clinic, when we return to our hotel suite, Ben and Axel drop dead the second their heads hit the pillow.Vivienne, on the other hand, excuses herself for a quick shower and a change of clothes, while I decide to do the same.However, before I pick out my clothes from the wardrobe, my phone starts to ring.Astrid’s name flashes on the screen, and I almost roll my eyes.Almost. Instead, I answer. “Speak.”"Are you serious, Caden?" she asks, so loudly that I have to pull the phone away from my ear a little."What's the matter?""What's the matter?" she repeats, as if she can't quite believe I asked her something so boldly. "What isn't the matter? When the hell were you going to tell me that you were going to Japan with that ex of yours? When, huh? Is this how you treat me now? Keeping me in the dark while having a vacation at some royal hotel suite?"I pinch the bridge of my nose, already feeling a headache brewing. "It's not a vacation

[Vivienne]Caden was right when he told me that Dr. Kaito is not just another doctor in a lab coat with a stethoscope looped around his neck.Oh, no. He’s so much more than that.To be honest, I have never seen a professional doctor quite like him.First of all, he’s not dressed like one.Secondly, he doesn’t talk like one either. No complicated medical words with him. No unnecessary attempt to appease us or assure us. And certainly not interested in the fact that Caden and I are among the richest people in the world.The moment we stepped into his cabin, his entire attention has been on Axel only.Which, of course, I’m glad for, but still. He really asked us nothing. Not his medical history. Not his symptoms. Not even his age, or how long he has been like this.The only thing I have done since we took seats on the couch across from his long desk is hold my breath and keep my mouth shut.Now, almost an hour has passed, and Dr. Kaito and Axel finally return their attention to us.Dr. K
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 306
[Vivienne]“Dr. Kaito will see you now,” the receptionist announced.I look up from my lap and glance around for the hundredth time.Ever since we walked into the building, I have been nervous as hell—and for all the right reasons, I would like to say.For the first time, Dr. Kaito will see Axel, and my son will get to know if he’ll ever get to see like normal kids out there. And that thought alone makes me feel all kinds of anxious. Never in my life have I been this nervous. My palms are sweating, my legs are shaking, and my throat feels dry beyond rationality. My brain is a complex mishmash of positivity and negativity. It’s not like I want to think of the worst, but my heart doesn’t know how to handle this situation without taking everything into account.I need to know how this meeting can go. I need to know so I will be ready for whatever the outcome might be.“Are you alright?” Caden’s familiar deep voice arrives from next to me. He’s probably wondering why I haven’t moved from
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 305
[Vivienne]Caden’s about to press his lips to mine, and I’m about to allow it, when something growls so loudly in the room, we both pause, turn stiff, and stare at each other for one long moment.Then, we both burst into laughter.Caden’s face dips into the crook of my neck while I feel embarrassed and giddy at the same time.The thing that growled?My stomach.Caden finally lifts his head, dark eyes crinkling with all the lightheartedness in the world. “You’re hungry.”“Yup,” I mumble, trying to look away but can’t. It’s as if I’m still in some kind of trance, and looking away will break it. “Did I forget to mention?”He shakes his head, and then, thankfully, gets up. Back on his feet, he helps me sit up and then runs a hand through his dark hair. “I’ll order something for you.”“It’s okay.” I try to stand up too, but he grabs me by the shoulders and gently pushes me back on the couch.“No. I’ll order. Just tell me what you need.”I could easily argue with him there, but something in

[Caden]I haven’t even told her everything yet, and I already feel like so much weight has been lifted off my shoulders.Makes me wonder: why didn’t I do it before? What was I waiting for? What worse could have happened if I had taken that kind of risk?But I can’t rebuff my fears either.It’s hard for me to accept—or confess—but my fears weren’t exactly baseless.When you’ve faced disappointment and betrayal so early in life, it makes you wary of trusting literally anyone—sometimes even your own judgment. And that’s what happened to us. Even though everything inside me approved of Vivienne and we ended up getting married, I still couldn’t get rid of this constant fear and suspicion that somehow she would betray me too—that she would leave me when I was at my lowest, and I’d be able to do nothing but hold myself responsible for letting another person get close to my heart.I’m about to question if my attempt to open up right now is even worth the effort when I finally look up and find
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 303
[Vivienne]“Why are you telling me this?”I don’t know how else to put my bafflement into words if not by being straightforward.No matter how difficult this man can be sometimes, I can’t deny that the man in front of me is known for his straightforwardness when it comes to business. His opinions on matters are never all over the place. Absolutely not. In fact, despite his aloof persona, he always has strong opinions about everything.Simply put, he’s not one to talk in circles, and right now, I plan to do the same.At first, he stays quiet, still sitting on the floor, picking at some invisible thread on my dress. His eyes are lowered, never meeting mine, as if he’s neither done nor ready to end this conversation.“I don’t know,” he says then, quietly as usual. “Maybe I think you should know. Or maybe because I’ve been keeping these things to myself for so long that now I can’t keep them in any longer. If I did, I might explode, and I don’t want that.”I don’t know what to say. Should
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 302
[Vivienne]I shouldn’t be having such thoughts right now.Especially when I’m engaged to someone else and the thoughts I’m having involve my ex-husband in the most outrageous manner.Like really. Why would I suddenly think of his lips on mine, his hands on the most secretive and sacred places of my body, and something absolutely unholy that has something to do with his mouth and my…Shit.This is probably the fever talking.Because as far as I know myself, I can’t be that horny for a man. And that too, for a man like Caden.The guy is literally and solely responsible for some of the worst years of my life. Not only did he embarrass me, disappoint me time and again, but he humiliated me whenever he got the chance. He broke my heart in the worst ways possible, even though he knew how terribly and deeply I was in love with him. He didn’t appreciate me when he had the chance, so why—why would my brain force such images into my head?Instead of these steamy encounters, my brain should put

[Vivienne]When I open my eyes, I don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.Like all my mornings, I expect to wake up staring at the ceiling, followed by my phone screen, and then realizing I have only half an hour to get ready or risk being late.But none of that happens this time.This time, when I wake up, I feel like I’ve been crushed by a train or something of that sort. My heart hurts, and when I try to turn or lift my arm to rub my face, it takes an immense amount of strength to do that.“Ughhhh!” I groan, blinking a few times to make sure I woke up in the same dimension I slept in—and not the other way around.“Hey, it’s okay,” a deep voice says, too faint for my ears to pick up clearly. Or maybe I’m just too drowsy to catch it. It’s only when I look to my side that I realize it belongs to the only man I have no desire to face first thing in the morning.“What the hell are you doing here?” I snap—or at least I try—only to feel like my throat is closing up on me, warning me no

“Uh…” Ben starts, scratching the back of his head like that’s supposed to make him look innocent. “We were... uh, watching cartoons.”Well, that’s pretty obvious. But the question is, "Why?"I look at the time just to be sure and realize we’ve only slept for, what... four hours?I round the couch and look them dead in the eyes, despite being aware Axel can’t very well see. But he can hear, right? And they both need to hear this.“You’re supposed to inform me when you’re leaving the room, Ben. This is not cool.” I turn to face Axel. “And so do you, mister. Did you tell your mom you were leaving the room to watch TV?”Axel pouts, eyes lowering. “No? Mom doesn’t let me do anything fun this early in the morning.”“Exactly my point. Now, get up and move your ass. First, you two will shower, change your clothes, have breakfast, and then your mom and I will decide if you’ve been good and deserve to watch TV or not. Is that clear?”They both look unhappy as hell. Not that I care.I usher both
