[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]I watch with a quiet smile as Sasha glances at the door—where her brother has already stormed out of the cabin—probably hoping he’ll return miraculously. Then, she looks back at me, her gaze turning into a glare.For a moment, I’m almost certain she’s about to say something bitter or drop the poor-me act. But then her eyes shift to the young man beside me, and she presses her lips together tightly.After a long moment of silence, she spins on her heels and heads for the door.But I was right—she still has something to say.Halfway there, she stops, turns, and glares again.“You know what? This is not fair!”“Excuse me?” Theo sounds just as confused as he looks.“This. What just happened. It’s not fair.”“That’s not for you to decide, Miss. We’ve been more than fair, and you know it.”“I know, but…” She hesitates, suddenly at a loss. “I just know that…if she weren’t here, this meeting would have gone differently. She’s the reason for my family’s humiliation today. Everything

[Sasha]“What? Nothing to say for yourself?” I sneer, savoring the look on her face. “God, Vivienne. You’re so shameless. How do you even live with yourself? Aren’t you tired of lying, deceiving, and tricking your way through life? When will you learn some goddamn dignity?”She tilts her head to the side, as if nothing I said bothered her in the slightest. As if she’s somehow above all this. But she’s not. She’s just pretending not to care, probably because that’s all she can do to deny the truth. But I’m not lying, am I? That’s why she has nothing to say. I’ve finally shut her up for good.Mr. Yardley, however, doesn’t look very happy. And he shouldn’t be. That’s the whole point, right? He needs to know the truth, and as Daddy says, the truth always hurts.He must have trusted her too much to feel anything but betrayed.He leans forward on the table and glares. When he opens his mouth, his words are calm yet restrained. “Thank you, Ms. Clarkson. You’ve finally opened my eyes to just

[Vivienne]The nurse leads me to the operating theater first but asks me to wait outside.My hands shake as I stare at the door, wondering how Harvey must be doing.How the hell did he get into an accident? Who was the woman with him? Why did he skip work? And what the hell was he doing on the west side of the city? We don’t even have any offices there.That area is basically filled with schools, colleges, and other educational institutes."If you need anything else, I’ll be at the reception," the nurse says, ready to leave and get back to her work.I don’t let her, though.I speak before she can even turn. "How long is it going to take?"She understands what I mean by it—she must face situations like this every day. "Nothing can be said for sure right now. And I understand that waiting feels difficult, especially when your brother is in there. But trust me, the best thing you can do right now is let the doctors do their job. They will tell you everything once they’re done treating yo
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 229
I decide to pick up my things from Harvey’s place and head back to our grandparents’ house.It’s the only place where I can think clearly and have some peace to myself.God knows I need a moment to just breathe.So much has happened in a single day—my body and brain both need a well-earned break.When I arrive at his place, Mimi still hasn’t returned from school.Good. Because if she had tried to stop me one more time with those big, adorable eyes, I probably would have changed my mind. That girl has some serious charm. No wonder Harvey can’t resist any of her demands—same goes for my parents.Dad once told me that when he took her to his office—back before he retired—she demanded to play loud pony-themed music and made everyone dance, as if the entire company had thrown a party just for her.Easy to say, the employees couldn’t have asked for a better break—or a better boss.Anyway, I grab my stuff and get back into the car, making sure to leave a text for Harvey so he knows my unexpec

[Vivienne]Once I’m far enough that Avery’s screaming fades into the background, I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself.God knows what’s up with these Lawrences lately. Have they all sworn to make my life hell? To never let me have a moment of peace?I shake my head and push some loose dark curls out of my face.When I return to the table, I find Theo sitting alone.And my anger flares all over again.How could he do this to me? Out of all the women he could have dated, he chose her—the sister of my ex-husband? Did he have no respect for me? Did I not tell him what that family did to me?How could he ignore all of that and fall for a girl who is neither right for him nor anything like him?She’s just like her mother. Like Sasha. Evil. Pure evil.I still remember the day she threw that scorching coffee in my face at the café…Anyway, I take a deep breath and make my way to the table.Theo sees me approaching, and before I can say a word, he stands up, hands braced against the tab

I stare at her, unsure whether to laugh in her face or take her seriously.“End me?” I tip my head to the side, pushing her off me at the same time. “Do you hear yourself? You sound unhinged.”“You think I’m joking?”“Nah, more like you’re trying to be something you’re not.”“You think I can’t hurt you?”I roll my eyes. “Oh, please. You? Hurt me? Avery, you’re a spoiled little brat from a family of professional liars and melodramatic wannabe royals. The only thing you’ve ever ‘ended’ is a shopping spree when Daddy cut you off. So, forgive me if I find it absolutely hilarious that you think you’re some kind of threat.”Avery’s mouth drops open.She probably didn’t expect me to say something like that.I’m not surprised. I was never this sassy in front of Caden’s family. I was good, loyal, and completely dedicated. But instead of appreciating any of it, they always assumed the worst of me.And—shockingly—they still do.Anyway, now that she has nothing to say, I turn to finally get the h

[Vivienne]Avery looks just as surprised to see me.Her eyes widen, and she jolts to her feet, her face slowly turning pale.Theo probably notices her odd reaction, but before he can say anything, Avery quickly grabs my arm and giggles over her shoulder.“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to arrive. I desperately need a lady’s help. Be right back!”And with that bizarre excuse, she drags me to the bathroom, shuts the door, and spins to face me—a crown of sweat already glistening on her forehead.“What the fuck are you doing here?” she snaps, glaring at me with those little brown eyes of hers.I raise a brow. “I could ask you the same question, couldn’t I?”“Oh, shut up!”“If that’s what you want.” I turn to leave. If she wants me to shut up, then I’d rather spend my time elsewhere.But of course, she doesn’t let me.She grabs my arm and yanks me back around—hard this time.I hiss and wrench myself free. “Are you crazy? You’re hurting me.”Instead of looking guilt

[Vivienne]When I reach the office building—invited by none other than Theo—I take the elevator to his office.His assistant meets me halfway and leads me inside.Surprisingly, the room is empty.“Sir is stuck in a meeting, but he assured me he’ll be joining you soon. Can I get you anything in the meantime? Juice, coffee, or something to eat?” the assistant asks courteously, a gentle smile on her pretty face.“Just water. Thanks.”She nods and steps out, leaving me alone.I take a deep breath and sink onto the sofa across the room—the only spot where my aching back might find some relief.Just then, I feel a small kick against the side of my swollen belly—a gentle reminder that my little one has started to move.I smile.It’s a feeling I can’t quite put into words.The baby kicks started a few days ago, and God knows I’ve been dying to talk to someone about it. Maybe that’s why I wanted to invite Rosita over or visit Mom—just to share this beautiful news with her.But then Caden showe
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 224
[Rosita]I don’t like surprises.Not when they keep me this on edge.Ever since we left my office, Harvey has been as silent as ever. He insisted on driving himself, and when I asked where he was taking me, he told me to have some patience.Well, it seems I don’t have the energy for patience either.“Are you sure you’re not about to push me off a cliff or something?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest and gazing at the scenery passing by outside the window.I hear him scoff out a small chuckle, the corner of his lips curving ever so slightly. “You have a bizarre sense of humor, you know that?”“You say that like it’s news to you,” I steal a glance at him—his hands gripping the wheel, his gaze steady on the road ahead. He’s always so composed, so frustratingly unreadable.I huff and lean back in my seat. “Are you planning to keep me in suspense forever, or are you actually going to tell me where the hell we’re going?”“Relax, Rosita. We’re almost there.”I don’t like that answer. I

[Caden]I walk out of the mansion and reach my car, already parked in the driveway.But I don’t get inside and move on with my day.No. I stop just before getting in and slam my fist against the roof of the car.Damn it! So close. I was so damn close to telling her everything. If only she had given me a chance.But can I really blame her? Is it really her fault for not giving me a chance now?The answer is no. I can’t blame her, and she isn’t at fault. I’ve wronged her in too many ways for her to believe that this time, when I speak to her, it comes straight from my heart. My words. My effort. My care.But does that mean I should just… give up?Absolutely not.I turn to face the mansion I just walked out of and mumble to myself,“You think I don’t want the child. But you couldn’t be more wrong. I have never wanted anything more in my life. But I have my reasons for holding back. I have a reason for not wanting to pass on my disabilities to our child—to keep them from suffering the sam
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 222
[Vivienne]For the next five minutes, neither of us says anything.Caden keeps his gaze locked on me while I continue to pretend that nothing he said has affected me in any way.But I’d be lying if I said his version of that night doesn’t make sense.It does. I just don’t know if it changes anything.Even if I admit that Sasha might have played me—made a fool out of me—that doesn’t explain his indifference toward me during our entire marriage. It doesn’t explain why he chose to stay away not just for days but for weeks, sometimes even months. Or why he spent the majority of his time with his family and assistant but not a single meaningful moment with his own damn wife.And it certainly doesn’t explain all the media buzz about him and Sasha—rumors of them being secretly engaged, enjoying vacations on exotic islands, and so on.“You should leave,” I tell him after a while, unsure if there’s anything left between us to discuss.No matter how innocent he claims to be, it doesn’t change t
