No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 163
[Sasha]When we get to the hospital, one of Arthur’s friends leads us to his room. I glance around, barely able to believe that the idiot ended up in this outrageously expensive hospital. Can we even afford treatment here?I just hope he’s only here for a few hours, or Dad might have a heart attack himself.“What happened? Tell us everything,” Mom asks Arthur’s friend, whose name I’m struggling to remember. Dan? Danny? Dane?Whatever, let’s go with Dane.Dane sighs, rubbing his face like he’s exhausted. “Uh…like I told you. He got beat up. That’s it.”Wow. Thanks for the insight. I roll my eyes.“Who beat him up? And why?” I ask, irritated that he can’t get to the point.We get into the elevator, and Dane’s already sweating bullets. “Just…some guys. I don’t know. They looked like they could take down anyone.”“So, they just picked Arthur out of nowhere and decided he’d be the punching bag today?” I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm.Mom shoots me a death glare while Dad looks like h

[Sasha]Arthur’s face goes pale—well, paler than it already is under all the bruises. He tries to sit up, but between his broken arm and leg, he’s not going anywhere.“Who the hell are you?” I demand, stepping between him and this…mountain of a man.His grin only widens, like he’s enjoying the little show.The guy chuckles, slow and low. “Oh, I’m just here to check in on my good friend Arthur. See, he’s been a little behind on some promises he made to me and my associates. Thought it’d be polite to come by and see if maybe, finally, he’s ready to settle up.”Dad’s face hardens, but I can see his hands shake. “Look, whoever you are, we’ll pay back whatever he owes. Just—leave my son alone.”The guy looks at Dad with a mix of pity and amusement. “Oh, isn’t that touching. Daddy swoops in to save his little screw-up. But see, here’s the thing—your boy didn’t just borrow money. He took it, gambled it, and lost, over and over. And we’re not exactly a bank that lets you pay whenever you feel

[Sasha]“What do you mean he’s not here?” I demand over the phone, speaking to Caden’s clueless assistant.I’ve been trying to reach him forever, but every call goes unanswered. I finally had no choice but to call this assistant. What’s her name again? Mandy? Andy? Brandy?Ugh, whatever!“I mean exactly what I said, Ms. Clarkson. Mr. Lawrence is currently on a flight to Japan. It’s a long flight, so he won’t be available for a few hours.”Dammit. This is a disaster.“When did he leave? And why am I just hearing about it now? You’re supposed to keep me updated, aren’t you? That’s what you get paid for!”“Uh… I apologize, madam, but that’s not exactly part of my job. Besides, it was Mr. Lawrence’s strict instruction to keep his travel plans private unless it was an emergency. And, well…since you called, and you’re kind of…important, I figured this counted as an emergency. This is an emergency, right?”What the hell? “Of course, this is an emergency, you idiot! Who the hell do you think

“What?” Agnes Lawrence sounds surprised. “How can he do that? And without even discussing it with us? Now, how are we supposed to help this poor girl?”My heart sinks deep into my stomach. They can’t be serious. I need this money. And I need it now.“Mom?” More tears spill from my eyes. “What are we going to do now?”Mr. Lawrence looks frustrated. “I don’t know what he was thinking. But the truth is, without his approval, we can’t access that money. And that means we can’t help you, child. We are very sorry.”Shit. No. I can’t accept no for an answer.“But my dad… he’ll die if he doesn’t get his surgery. Mom?” I turn to this stupid woman. “Please, don’t say no. You’re my only hope. Please, don’t leave me alone in this.”Agnes looks torn, her face a mask of concern. “Sasha, I wish there was something more I could do,” she says. “You know how complicated these things can be.”I shake my head. “Complicated? My dad is dying! Complicated is not an option right now!”“Calm down, dear,” Mr.

[Sasha]“Come on, open the door!” I mutter under my breath, standing impatiently outside Samuel’s apartment.I can’t believe he’s the only choice I have right now.After Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence showed me the door instead of putting millions in my account, I have no choice but to ask for help from their eldest son—the bad apple of the family. The prodigal son whose chances of returning to his family are as slim as summer in Antarctica.Shit. He’s never going to let me hear the end of this.But I have to swallow my pride. If not for my dad, then for my own dignity. My account’s down to nothing, which can’t go on for long. Without money, I feel helpless—like the whole world’s mocking me, or will as soon as they find out the truth about my family.After I knocked a dozen times, Samuel finally opened the door.I take a deep breath of relief, but it fades fast as he takes one look at me and rolls his eyes.“What the hell are you doing here?”I force a smile, hoping it’ll smooth over the sheer

[Sasha]I hate him. Hate that he’s right.I did all of this, went through every humiliating step, so Caden would finally marry me. But that bastard—after everything I’ve done, everything I’ve put myself through—hasn’t even mentioned marriage. Not even a damn engagement.I scowl, clenching my hands into fists at my sides. “Well, it’s not my fault your family’s dumb as fuck.”Samuel’s smirk widens. “Oh, you couldn’t be more wrong,” he says, turning around and plopping down on the dingy couch. “They’re not dumb, Sasha. They’re the exact opposite. Why else do you think they handed over the entire business to Caden, knowing full well he isn’t even their real son?”My eyes widen, and my breath catches.“Wait a second. What?”He arches a brow, feigning surprise. “What? You didn’t know? Oops!”There’s no way I could have missed this. “When were you planning to tell me all this? How—I mean—what? How is that even possible? I’ve never heard of this before.”“You didn’t?” He swirls his tongue aro

[Sasha]Once I’m done pacing and stressing over the fact that the Lawrence family isn’t what I thought, I decide it really doesn’t matter. Adopted or not, Caden is still my golden ticket to being rich, especially after I’ve spent so many years of my life pining for him.I turn to face Samuel. “Whatever. I don’t care if Caden is a real Lawrence or not. I love him. And I will do anything for him. So what if he’s taking his time to realize that? He just got divorced. I understand if he needs more time. I’m happy to wait as long as he wants…”I haven’t even finished when Samuel starts laughing, and he laughs so hard and for so long that irritation bubbles up inside me, sharp and hot.“Oh, oh, oh,” he gasps, holding his stomach as if he can’t breathe. “Come on, Sasha, darling. Let’s not fake this, at least not in front of me. I understand if my parents or Caden buy it, but me? Come on! I’m better than that.”I roll my eyes. “I do love him, you know. Why else do you think I’m wasting my tim

[Vivienne]“We need to destroy that woman,” Theo grunts for the thousandth time as we sit at a fine restaurant, waiting for my brother to arrive.I shake my head. “We need to relax. Especially you. No offense, but you’ve been pretty wound up ever since that meeting.”His gaze sharpens as he looks at me. “And I have a damn good reason to be. Did you see the way she talked about you? I’ve never seen such a vile woman in my life. What does she even think of herself? That she can just waltz in and insult you? Well, I’m going to teach her a lesson, that’s for sure. Just wait until Harvey gets here. I’ve already briefed him on everything, and he assured me that we’re not going to let this go.”I rub my head, deciding it’s not worth trying to reason with him—or Harvey, if Theo really told him everything. My brother can be incredibly stubborn when he wants to be. And with family being the most important thing to him, he definitely isn’t going to let this slide.“Fine, fine. Do whatever please

[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
