[Vivienne]“This woman is insane!” Theo bursts out, pacing the room. “How can she lie about something like this? Not to mention causing such a scene. It’s like she’s trying to sell her misery—wants people to sympathize with her. I mean, what kind of person does that? Especially someone who’s supposed to come from such a good family!”“Well, I’m not surprised. Sasha has always been an attention seeker.”“Gosh!” He runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated. “How does one even deal with a person like that? She has no shame.”I shrug. “You can always ignore her.”He turns to face me, surprised. “We can do that?”I shake my head, smiling. “Of course. Why not? Besides, this isn’t your mess to deal with. Harvey can handle it in no time. Just give him a little space.”“You’re right.” He finally sits down on the chair next to the bed and sighs. “But I still don’t like it. I’ve never met someone so shameless.”I wish I could say the same. But Sasha and I go way back. If it weren’t for he

[Vivienne]The elevator doors closed before I could help it.But that’s when it struck me. The smaller guy was someone I had already seen. His voice…it was so familiar.My nurse returns just in time, huffing and panting behind me.“Jesus, can you believe that?” she puffs out, wheeling me towards the next elevator that opened right away. She wheels me inside and punches for my floor. “Not even hospitals are safe anymore.”“What happened?” I ask, curious as hell.“Oh, didn’t you hear the uproar? There was a fight. A strange man attacked one of the patients, and then dragged him out of the hospital.”“Are you serious? Such things happen here? Where was the security?? I end up asking, just in time for the elevator doors to open to my desired floor.The nurse pushes me towards my room. “Well, I’m sure they would have been caught downstairs. The security is more tight there. But still. It was tragic.”“Why do you say that?” I ask, as my room arrives and she starts helping me to the bed.“Be

[SASHA] "I don't like this, Sasha. What if everything you're doing backfires?" Mom says over the phone as I stand in the parking lot of our company, sifting through my purse, trying to find the keys to my car. I roll my eyes, frustration bubbling as the key remains elusive. "Please, Mom. Do you think I’d ever do something without thinking it through? Don’t worry about the Richardsons. If they know what’s good for them, they’ll figure out what to do if they want to keep me quiet.” And that is to pay me more than they’ve offered. Did they really think a meager amount would be enough? Did they really think my family was a charity case? Huh. I’ll show them what real charity looks like. Sure, we might not have any other choice right now—selling the company and all—but I’ll make damn sure this deal doesn’t leave us empty-handed. If the Richardson Group wants a piece of us, they’ll have to pay a hefty price. "But still," Mom says hesitantly, "they’re powerful people. You need to remember

[Sasha]“What the hell do you want from me? I owe you nothing!” I yelp out, afraid he would do literally anything to me. The last time one of his men came to see my brother, they beat him up terribly. Me, on the other hand, don’t look forward to any such treatments.The man laughs, whose name I’m still unaware of. But maybe it’s better that way. I have nothing to do with such low lives.“Oh, but you do,” he says, so sweetly one would think he means no ill will. But if one could just ignore the sweetness and focus on that ugly yet dangerous face, they would know this man is anything but sweet. “Your brother owes me big time, darling. Big time. Especially, after his little piece of ass reported us to the authorities. You think I take kindly to such things, huh?”I don’t think so at all. But I’m not the one who would do something so stupid, and neither is my brother. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I said nothing to no one. I’m not that stupid.”“Maybe not, but your brother?

[Sasha]“Come on, Caden. Answer your damn phone!” I mutter to myself, but he doesn’t pick up no matter how many times I call.The call disconnects after yet another unanswered attempt.“Fuck you, Caden!”I want to scream. I want to yell at this ignorant bastard. It’s glaringly obvious to me now that he’s ignoring me. Why? I don’t know. But I sure as hell will find out once I get out of here.I try Mrs. Lawrence this time. She’ll definitely answer. She always does.But the phone just keeps ringing until the call finally disconnects.“What the hell? Are you serious?”I stare at the phone, frustration bubbling inside me. Just when I need these jerks to help me, they’re nowhere to be found.“Ugh!” I groan, dialing Mr. Lawrence, Caden’s dad. But the response is the same—nothing.Out of sheer desperation, I try calling Caden’s nerdy assistant. Not once, but at least a dozen times. Yet that good-for-nothing woman doesn’t answer either.“What the hell is even going on here? Are they all ignori

[Sasha]“You know what? If I’m so stupid for you then you wouldn’t mind handling this situation on your own, would you?”“What?”“Exactly!”“Don’t you dare—” but before I can say anything more, the asshole brother of mine disconnects the call, leaving me seething with rage.“You fuck-pig! I can’t believe I wasted my time on you.” Speaking of time, I glance at the clock on my phone and realize I’ve already wasted twenty minutes on him.Wait. Does that mean I only have forty minutes left now?Shit. What am I gonna do? How will I arrange all this money before time runs out?I shake my head and scroll through my contacts again. Someone has to help me. I have plenty of friends. Surely, someone will remember my kindness and help me out of this mess.I make more calls—two to my childhood friends and at least a dozen to my college friends. I even call those I barely ever talked to, but they all give me the same answer: they don’t have that kind of money. One of them even cuts the call before

[Vivienne]“Alright. Here we are,” Theo says, adjusting his diamond cufflinks.I nod and take a deep breath. “You sure you can handle this?”“Are you kidding?” He looks at me, one eyebrow raised. “I want to do this, even if it’s the last thing I do.”I want to laugh, but I end up just smiling at his theatrics. “You make it sound like you’re going to war.”“Well, this is war,” he says casually, as if he doesn’t regret it one bit, as if he knows he’s already on the winning side. “The one these assholes started, but you’re the one who’s going to end it.”That’s right. I owe this to myself—to my unborn child. I promised to eliminate every possible threat from our lives so that, in the future, my child wouldn’t have to endure what I did. My child won’t suffer the way I did. My child will live a peaceful, happy life.Besides, this woman has done enough for my whole family to be done with her.They want her to be taken care of. Once and for all.Theo gives me a last bid of his cocky smile be

[Vivienne]I don’t see the need to either lie or speak the truth to a stranger, so I simply ignore it.“You did a great job,” I say, and he perks up with a smug grin, as if trying to remind me that he shouldn’t have expected anything less.I ignore that, too.A low chuckle rumbles from his chest. “There’s nothing sweeter than getting paid to collect my own damn money. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy screwing with that worthless woman. Your idea of jamming her calls so she couldn’t reach a single soul from the Lawrence family? Genius. My men and I couldn’t stop laughing while she kept trying, over and over, only to end up screaming her lungs out, wondering why nobody gave a damn when she needed them most.” He leans back, savoring the memory, a smirk tugging at his lips. “I’ll be honest, today feels like the best day of my life.”He pauses, a sly grin spreading across his face. “Tell you what—if you ever need another favor down the line, I’ll do you one back, free of charge.

[Astrid]I stare at the mess in my room.The shattered vase. The broken laptop. The pieces of other furniture overturned and out of place.But even with all this destruction, I feel nothing but rage.Pure, white rage. The kind that makes me want to rip someone’s throat out. Especially that of Vivienne. And her fucking son.I ball my fists, the veins in my hands popping as I fight to keep my control. But it's slipping, fast. I want to scream, to break every damn thing in sight until there’s nothing left. Until I feel something other than this boiling fury that’s choking me from the inside out.How dare she? How dare she take what’s mine? How dare she get so close to Caden? And go on that vacation with him?Did she learn nothing from the past? Is she not afraid that the way she’s going, she’s making an enemy out of me? Out of Astrid? Does she even know whom she’s messing with?I curl my fingers around the glass of water on the table, before tossing it away against the wall too.It shatt

[Vivienne]I have to say, Caden has a way of doing things that not only gets his work done, but also leaves the other party too confused yet satisfied for their own good.Now, I’m not saying that being shoved against the door and having his face so ridiculously close to mine is satisfying in some weird kind of way, but it surely is leaving me confused for sure.“What are you doing, Caden?” I cannot help but ask, finally able to find my voice after a minute of intimate staring and a confusingly beating heart.I know being jealous has always been Caden’s strongest streak, but I never thought he was jealous because of me. Not that I have deliberately tried to make him feel that way. Ever. It was always him, surrounded by Sasha and her dramatic ways, making me feel like a third wheel of sorts.I try to push him away, but he doesn’t dare budge. His dark eyes remain stuck on mine, his hands clasped around my waist.“Whatever you think.”I sigh, reminding myself once again how wrong everythi

[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

[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
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 304
[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
