No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 153
[Caden]I pace outside Sasha’s hospital room, running a hand through my hair for the thousandth time.An hour ago, she had severe stomach pain, and I immediately rushed her to the hospital. Now, it’s been almost 40 minutes, and the doctor and nurses have been going in and out, and I have no fucking clue what’s going on in there.Every time I try to ask, they just breeze past me as if this doesn’t concern me at all.As if I’m invisible.Then again, maybe they’re not so wrong…My thoughts are disrupted when the doctor finally comes out and stops in front of me.“Mr. Lawrence, right?” he says, and I nod.He smiles. “We’ve done all the necessary check-ups, and everything seems fine. Your wife and baby are doing great.”My instincts scream at me to tell him that neither is she my wife, nor is the baby mine, but the promise I made to Mom makes all resistance vanish. I swallow what feels like my fucking pride and nod.“What about the pain? She was in a lot of pain a while ago. What was that?

[Caden]The second we walk out of the hospital, my phone rings.I pick up as I help Sasha into the backseat.“Yes?”“Oh gosh. Thank God you answered, sir. This is Betty, by the way. I called to let you know about something very important.”“I know it’s you, Betty,” I say, rolling my eyes as I close the door and nod at the driver. “What’s so important?”She stutters. “Right. Yes. Sorry. I know this isn’t the best time, but you need to come to the office right away. All the directors are here, and they look very concerned.”I frown. “Concerned about what? And all of them?”“Yes, all of them. And concerned because… wait. You haven’t seen the news? It’s practically everywhere.”That doesn’t sound right. “What’s everywhere? And for the love of God, if you asked me another question instead of explaining to me what’s happening, I’m going to fire your fucking ass, Adams. Hear that.”“Okay, okay! There’s been a fall…in the share market…I thought you already knew…”I stop and turn around, not f

[Vivienne]“Are you sure about this, Ms Richardson?” Marcus asks, looking simply as concerned as he sounds. “You just finished your monthly routine check-up, and it’s so hot today. Shouldn’t we be on our way back home? You need rest.”He’s right. I do feel tired. This pregnancy has me feeling all sorts of things and sometimes I can barely keep my eyes open. But I did promise Theo of this visit this weekend. He has been doing everything I tell him for the past few months, but the last few weeks have been especially hard, considering the product that we launched.During our last call, he could barely sit with his spine straight.I don’t blame him. He’s young, and I might be asking too much from him.Anyway, to cheer him up, I promised to have a surprise lunch with him.Ever since I told him that, he has been extra excited than his usual self.I can’t let him down now.I turn to face Marcus, smiling. “I’ll be fine. Just wait for my call. We might leave earlier than you think.”He nods. “

[Vivienne]To my huge dismay, Sasha decides to ride the elevator with me.And you’d think she’d get the hint and stop pestering me with her sad excuse of a love life—especially since I made it clear how little I care—but no, she doesn’t. She keeps yapping, way too close to my ear.“Are you seriously going to act like you don’t care? That nothing I said bothered you, even a little?” she scoffs, crossing her arms over her chest. “Well, if that’s true, maybe it’s for the best. It’s about time you accepted none of your pathetic little games to win Caden over was ever going to work. I mean, have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? You’re not even that pretty. His dumb secretary looks way better than you.”I roll my eyes, waiting for my floor to arrive. It’s really not worth my health to engage with her toxic, desperate attempts to rile me up. Stay calm, I remind myself.“What? Cat got your tongue?” she laughs, smug. “Ha! I knew you were just pretending not to care. You’re still the

[Vivienne]The second I reach my floor, the first person I see is Theo—and he doesn’t look happy.“Who the hell was that?” he asks, frowning down at me.“Who was who?” I ask, glancing around.“That woman. The one on the phone. The one who took your phone away.”That’s when it clicks. He must have overheard the entire conversation after Sasha snatched my phone. I never disconnected the call.Oops.I shake my head, chuckling lightly.“Hey! It’s not funny. That woman sounded like a real piece of work. I need to know what happened.”“Of course, big man. But can we talk about this in your office? I’m exhausted, and my feet are killing me.”His expression softens slightly. “Yes, yes, of course. This way,” he says, moving his arm behind me to guide me to his office.Once inside, I settle onto the comfy couch while his assistant brings me some water.“Thanks,” I say, smiling at her. She returns the gesture with a soft grin.When Theo and I are finally alone, he sits across from me, arching a

[Sasha]“This is taking too long,” Arthur—my brother—groans, running a hand through his hair. “I have places to be. I can’t waste my whole day in this shit.”I roll my eyes. “I have been coming over here for five days and you can’t survive a few hours? God, dad’s right. You’re too dumb to understand how important this is.”Calling him dumb gets me the reaction I want from him. He looks pissed once again. “Call me that again and I’ll show you who’s actually dumb here. God knows whose child you have in there. But that didn’t stop you from running to that asshole for help.”“Oh, please!” I growl under my breath, my patience snapping like a tight wire. Now he’s turning his temper on me, and that’s not going to fly. “At least I’m doing SOMETHING to help the family. What the hell have you done? Nothing but party, drink, and screw around like you’re living in some reality TV show. Do you even know what day it is? Or are you too busy chasing tail to notice how close we are to losing everythin

[Sasha]As soon as we take our seats, I start to speak.However, before I even get my first word out, Mr. Yardley holds up his hand and cuts me off.“Wait. I’m waiting for someone. Let them get here first.”I look at my brother, who does the same, exchanging confused glances. Who else could be needed while we discuss this matter between our companies?My curiosity gets the best of me. “May I know who we are waiting for?”Mr. Yardley gives me an unimpressed look. “Someone who matters to me. Any more questions?”I do, but after hearing his tone, I decide it would be in our favor to go along with him. He’s the one in the dominant position right now. And if I can suck up to that idiot Lawrence family for as many years as I have, I can do this too.All I have to do is keep calm and make sure he hears me out.Next to me, Arthur groans under his breath, his fingers tightening around the armrest. I know what he’s doing. He’s getting more and more pissed. And it’s understandable. He’s not used

[Sasha]My mouth hangs open. I don’t know what to say.She’s not wrong to point out that we got the biggest loan, but most of it my family ended up spending on personal bills. Ever since then, we’ve only been paying our employees a quarter of what we promised. Because of this, many of them ended up resigning. But Dad didn’t mind. He figured the fewer mouths to feed, the better.I chew on the inside of my cheek. “Well, our business was also hit the hardest, which explains the biggest loan,” I try to reason, cursing this bitch to the moon and back.Mr. Yardley sighs. “All I’m hearing is an excuse, Ms. Clarkson. Do you have something else to say?”Vivienne stands there like she couldn’t be enjoying this more.Or maybe it’s all in my head. But I can’t help it. I hate that she’s here, holding the fate of my family in her hands. All because this man doesn’t seem to have a mind of his own; he seems too dependent on her opinion.I try to think. “It’s not an excuse, Mr. Yardley. It’s the truth

[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
