[Vivienne]I blink a few times, trying to wrap my head around the scene before me.“Anna?”She’s sitting right there, slumped on the floor, her entire body shaking, loud sobs racking through her.I look around, trying to understand what the hell just happened. My gaze lands on the old man, now unconscious on the floor, and I realize how quickly everything unfolded.Somehow, I push myself off the floor and race to my bedroom for my phone. I call the guards and tell them everything. After they assure me they’ll be at my place as soon as possible, only then do I rush back out, only to find Anna now trying to pick the old man up. His lifeless hand slumps around her neck as she struggles to lift him, but she fails miserably against the man’s enormous size.She keeps stumbling but doesn’t give up, not even once.I have no choice but to help her. Despite my reluctance to be anywhere near him, I offer support from the other side, and together we manage to toss him onto the nearest couch.He l

[Vivienne]My head throbs, trying to process everything Anna just told me.I don’t think I can handle any more shocks or surprises. I just want to sit down, close my eyes, and stop thinking about the disaster this day has become.But I can’t. Not yet. Not when Anna is still here, crying, with that unconscious man snoring on my couch.Thankfully, the guards arrive just then with the building caretaker, Mr. Johnson, a lithe man with a half-bald head and sleepy eyes.“We’re here, Ms. Sinclair. I personally want to apologize for the oversight by the guards, who clearly didn’t do their job.”“Hey, we did our job just fine,” one of the guards rolls his eyes, clearly not agreeing. “He had the pass. That’s why we let him through.”The other guard checks the old man’s pockets and grunts when he finds something. “Here it is,” he says, turning around to show the pass. “See? Not our mistake. The guy had the pass, like Max said.”I glance over my shoulder and see Anna looking terrified. She meets

[Vivienne]My eyes hurt like hell, but I keep them open, not wanting to fall asleep in front of the police officer.“So, let me get this clear,” the man says, not looking even remotely interested. “You’re here to report a missing person—someone I’ve already told you isn’t worth reporting?” he looks at Anna, frowning. “Listen. I get that you’re worried, but this is just a waste of time. I know your neighborhood like the back of my hand. No boy ever goes missing there. They just leave home because they don’t give a crap anymore.”“You’re wrong,” Anna’s voice cracks as she fights to hold back the tears. “Javier isn’t like that. He’s a good boy. He keeps his head down, never causes trouble.”“Well, that’s what every family thinks,” the officer grunts, shifting his bulging belly, which is spilling out from between the gaping buttons of his shirt. “That their kid’s the best. That they do nothing wrong. Then, boom—they’re thieves, or worse. Stealing, messing around for kicks.”“How can you s

[Vivienne]“What the hell just happened?”Anna says, once we leave the police station and wait for Marcus to bring out the car.I chuckle. This girl is so damn innocent and adorable. I can’t believe she has been going through so much for so long and I didn’t even have a clue.I stuff my hands into the pockets of my jacket. “Someone got a good smack in the back, that’s what happened.”She nods, as if she understands, but the confused look stuck on her face tells me she doesn’t get it all.“Who was on the phone, though? Was it someone powerful? Wait,” her eyes widen. “Was it the president? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. I know Mr. Richardson has played golf with him a few times. There are pictures in his office. I even asked once about it and he confirmed that they were real.”I shake my head, still smiling. “No, Anna. It was not the president of the U.S. Though it surely helped to speed up the process.”She smiles, her cheeks growing red. “Sorry. I don’t know how any of this works.

[Vivienne]The next day, when I wake up, I wake up with a good feeling.I don’t know how to explain it, I just do. Even after one hell of a day yesterday—from going viral to almost being physically hurt—it all feels distant, like it happened eons ago, and therefore, doesn’t matter anymore.I shake myself out of my thoughts and get out of bed.An hour later, I’m ready to leave, planning to have breakfast at a nearby café. I grab my purse, lock the apartment, and take the elevator as soon as it arrives.It’s a five-minute walk, so I don’t bother calling Marcus. I take a slow stroll through the market, enjoying the morning rush. When I enter the café, the fragrance of freshly brewed coffee hits me in a way that makes my whole body vibrate.I smile to myself and slide into one of the empty booths. I’ll be having breakfast alone, but that’s fine. I need this calm and quiet after everything that’s been going on. I deserve some me-time.I grab a menu and skim through it, though I already kno

[Vivienne]I stare at him for a long moment, unable to decide if it’s a joke or if he’s being serious.Although considering my luck these past few days, I don’t have the slightest doubt that when it comes to me, things can go from good to worse faster than the speed of light.I try not to laugh at my fate. “And why exactly do you think my life’s in danger? Is it because of my recent fifteen minutes of fame, or am I just that irresistible?”I don’t mean to be sarcastic, but I can’t help it. My life seriously feels like a joke right now. The more I try to take control, the more out of control it gets.He tilts his head slightly. “By fifteen minutes of fame, are you referring to…?”It would be a miracle if he hadn’t seen those fake pictures. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”He nods, lips pressed together. “I suppose I misjudged what would be appropriate to bring up around you. My mistake. Please, accept my sincere apologies.”“Are you for real?” I let out a dry laugh.“Well, I

[Vivienne]“Lawrence & Sons?” I know I’m just repeating what he said, but I can’t help it.Out of all the places I could’ve imagined, Caden’s office building was the last one I’d expect.“Are you saying my fake nude pictures were uploaded from my ex-husband’s office?”“Well, if you put it like that…”I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Was Caden behind this? I mean, it’s his office we’re talking about here. How could something like this happen under his nose, and he wouldn’t even know about it? Is he involved? Is he…So many questions. Too many. But not a single answer. I’m just getting more and more confused.“Hey.” Alexander’s deep voice pulls me gently from my tangled thoughts. “You’re overthinking. It might not be your husband.”“Ex-husband,” I correct him, and he instantly lifts both hands in surrender.“That. Of course. My mistake.” He sets his coffee aside and takes my hand in his. “All I’m saying is, let’s not jump to conclusions. Let’s find out the whole truth first and then de

[Vivienne]The moment those words come out of his mouth, I turn around and walk away.“Ms Sinclair?” He yells behind me. “Come on, just listen to me once.”I don’t. How dare he suggest something like that? Sure, he helped me, and I’ll be eternally grateful, but this… this is crossing a line. His solution to my problem doesn’t feel like a solution—it feels like a whole new problem.I keep walking, muttering under my breath.When I reach my building, I tell the guard that if anyone comes to see me, send them away. He nods, and I head for the elevator.Stupid, stupid Alexander. I thought he was different. I should’ve known better. All men are the same. Assholes. Selfish. Well, except for Elijah, my dad, and my brother, of course. They’re good people. But the rest? Exactly what I said. Self-absorbed creatures with only one thing on their minds—how to make others miserable.I enter my apartment and lock the door. But I’ve barely made it halfway through the first room when the doorbell ring

[Vivienne]If there’s one thing you should know about Alexander, it’s that it’s very hard to say no to him.So, of course, we end up on the dance floor, where a dozen couples are already swaying to the soft music that’s playing.“By the way, I’m glad you decided to wear the dress. I was almost sure you’ll choose to wear something more…simple.”My brows furrow at the realization and stop dancing. “Wait. You sent the dress?”He smirks. “Who else do you think wants you to look the prettiest?”I’m confused. “But I thought it was…Rosita. Wasn’t she?”He nods but pulls me closer, guiding me back into the slow dance. “She came up with the idea, yes. But this is the first event you’re attending after all these years—I had to make it special.”I arch a brow. “So, you bought the most expensive dress… just to impress me?”He laughs lightly. “You say it like it makes me look insane.”I smirk. “Well, if the shoe fits…”“Ah, but wouldn’t that make you the woman engaged to an insane man?”“Hmm.

[Vivienne]Alexander’s lips brush against mine in a brief kiss.“You look beautiful, my love,” he whispers close to my ear, sending another shiver down my spine.And though I do my best to embrace his affection, like every other time, something feels… amiss.I pull back, not wanting him to see the war between my heart and my head when it comes to him.“You didn’t tell me you’d be here.” I put my mask back on. “I could have joined you.”“Sure, but then I would have missed that look of relief on your face, wouldn’t I?”I shake my head. “Do you have to be such a jerk? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me just to walk through that door?”“I know, darling,” he says, tucking a dark strand of my hair behind my ear. “That’s why your best friend and I decided you needed to do it alone—for your self-confidence.”“Of course, Rosita i

[Vivienne]Somehow, Rosita manages to convince me to attend the infamous masquerade ball.And God knows, after cutting myself off from this world of parties and social events, making a comeback like this feels weirdly uncomfortable as fuck.Anyway, I take a deep breath, giving myself a little TED Talk—just go in there and have some, I don’t know… fun?I shake my head and turn to the driver. “Stay close. I have a feeling I might be back early.”Stepping out of the car, I look up at the massive Oriental building.I’ve attended a few galas here before—by before, I mean back when I was in my teens, dragged along by my parents. But looking at it now, it feels like a different world entirely.Clutching the invitation, I move toward the entrance.The moment I step inside, the atmosphere swallows me whole.Velvet drapes, gilded walls, and the shimmer of crystal masks catching the light—everything screams wealth and secrecy.Masked guests drift past in elaborate gowns and tailored suits, their

[Vivienne]After bathing and changing Axel into a fresh pair of clothes, I ask Anna to take him downstairs.Meanwhile, I repeat the same process for myself—taking a quick shower and changing into something that doesn’t reek of the office and the stress that comes with it.I check my emails on my phone and get ready to head downstairs for dinner.But just as I’m about to leave, my gaze falls on the package Anna mentioned.I set my phone aside and check the return address.Not a company I’ve ever heard of.“Hmm… now, where the hell are you from?” I mutter, opening the box and checking the contents inside.Only to find another box inside—but not the same boring brown one. This one is white, with a little pink bow on top.Strange. I don’t recall ordering anything in the last few days.Frowning, I take the white box out an

[Vivienne] After one hell of a day, Axel and I finally make it home. As always, he yells for his favorite aunt—Anna. “I’m home! I’m home! Anna, where are you? I have so much to tell you!” Anna—the one person who has been with me through thick and thin, who has fought her own battles, escaping an addicted and abusive father to build a safe life for herself and her little brother—comes running. Her smile is as bright as the sun. Anna barely has time to respond before Axel throws himself into her arms, his little hands gripping her tightly. “You won’t believe what happened today!” Anna laughs, ruffling his hair. “Oh? What happened?” He pulls back, dramatically placing his hands on his hips. “First, Mommy was late—again.” He shoots me a pointed look my way, probably because I haven’t moved from my place. “Well, tell me something I don’t know,” she winks at me before shifting her attention back to my little, adorable boy. “And what else?” Axel launches into a rapid retelling of

*Five Years Later*[Vivienne]"I don’t think you’re even trying to understand what I’m saying here, Mr. Carter."The man frowns, sighing deeply, as if he thinks I don’t know what I’m talking about."Look, Ms. Richardson, I don’t mean to be difficult, but dropping the prices of such exclusive products can’t be good for business. Our credibility will take the brunt of it, and you know it.""That’s why I’m suggesting launching new sizes, Mr. Carter. Until now, our products have only catered to a certain audience, leaving out a vast majority of willing users who simply can’t afford them due to the high prices. My team has conducted thorough research and found that if we introduce smaller sizes, people who could only dream of using our brand will get a taste of it. And who knows? They might get hooked—willing to spend more over time—eventually leading to increased

[Vivienne]Once the doctors and the nurse leave, I don’t even have to wait for the doors to close.Rosita is already breaking into an explanation.“I can explain,” she says while I continue to stare at her in pure disbelief.“And how would you do that?” I ask after a moment of silence.I’m still standing where I was, still unable to wrap my head around whatever just happened.She breathes out a sigh, glancing over my shoulder as if making sure no one else walks in.“Something happened after you left last night, and I—”“And you decided to hide your real identity?”“No. That’s not why I—”I shake my head. “Please, then help me explain. What are you so afraid of? Why would you give them my name instead of yours?”She sighs once again, but this time she looks more exhausted than before. “I had to. And I will explain everything once you calm down and give me a chance to say my piece.”———————[Caden]I’m busy discussing a serious matter with the head of finance when Betty Adam, my assista

[Vivienne]It felt like a bolt of lightning striking straight down my spine.I couldn’t even wait for Harvey to explain anything further.I just got up and bolted, hurriedly telling him to rest while I took care of something.He must not have believed me because he tried calling after me.“Vivienne!” he yelled behind me. “Stop! What happened?”The moment I step out of his room, I nearly collide with Molly, the nurse.“Oh my, where are you off to?” she asks, looking both amused and confused. “My shift is over, so I came to do a last round. Is everything okay?”“I’m fine,” I say quickly. “My brother is awake. You can check on him.”“He is? That’s great news. I’ll go right away.”If Molly thought I was acting strange—too rushed, too eager to get the hell out of there—she didn’t say anything. She simply moved out of my way and headed into
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 234
[Vivienne]I end up staying by Harvey’s side thorughout the night.Afraid that strange woman would show up again.I don’t know why she bothered me so much. She might have been a visitor ending up in the wrong room, something Molly suggested when I shared the incident with her. But something inside me doesn’t have faith in that reasoning.Something was weird about her. The way she ran off. In the hurry that she was in.Who was she? And what was she doing in Harvey’s room?“Vivienne?” A weak voice enters my ears, and I jerk up from my barely-there sleep, only to find Harvey gazing at me with his soft eyes.“Hey,” I lean forward, holding his hand as he tries to reach. “How are you feeling now? I should better call the doctor—”“Where is she?” he cuts me off, blinking lazily, as if still trying to force his brain to focus.He must be talking about the woman with him during the crash.“She’s fine now. In fact, I was about to check up on her once you woke up.”He sighs, closing his eyes and
