[Vivienne]When I reach home, I have a very angry five-year-old waiting for me.And God, do I feel terrible.“I said I’m sorry, baby. Won’t you forgive Mommy just this once?”Axel doesn’t spare me a glance, though. He turns in his seat instead, as if that alone would be enough to ignore me and send me a message at the same time.And I swear to God, it works like a charm.I feel even worse now.Behind me, Ana is trying very hard to hold back her laughter. She’s usually not the type to laugh at my misery, but let’s be honest—if I were in her place, I’d probably do the same.“Baby?” I try again, my tone even more apologetic this time.Axel turns his head away, clearly uninterested in anything I have to say.I sigh, running a hand through my hair. I wonder where he gets this temper, this ability to stay mad despite my endless apologies over the last half hour.But then, a familiar face flashes through my mind, and I know exactly where.I always forget his paternal traits. No doubt his stu

[Vivienne]The fact that this woman knows me doesn’t surprise me as much as the fact that I know her too.She’s that supermodel I saw with Caden that night—the woman he was head over heels for long before we even met.I don’t know much about the details of their relationship or why she left him when she did, but I do know that she left him first—and that it left him heartbroken. Why else would he have hung around with Sasha, who tried so hard to look like this woman?“I’m sure that’s right.” I have no interest in butting heads with her if that’s what she’s looking for. All I want is to leave and get back to the work that awaits me. “But accept my apologies, just in case.”Then, I step aside and walk past her. Or at least, I try. Because I haven’t even taken two steps away from her when she calls out to me again.“I don’t even know what Caden saw in you,” she says, rather arrogantly. “You must have been really desperate to be with a guy to ignore his feelings for someone else, weren’t

[Astrid]I watch Vivienne leave with my jaw hanging open.Still not able to believe what just happened.Did she actually just slap me? Right in front of the school?I rub my cheek and feel the painful sensation she left behind.That idiot of a woman. What does she think of herself? That she can do whatever she wants just because she comes from money now? That now she’s rich and the heiress to one of the richest families in the world? Well, hell no. She might be rich, but she’s still the woman Caden left. And no matter how hard she tries, she will never be someone more than that.Ugh.“Ms. Evelina,” someone calls me from behind, and for a brief second, I school my expression as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.“Yes, that’s me,” I turn around and greet the woman.“I apologize for the delay, but the administration will see you now.”I smile. “Thank you so much. It’ll only take a few minutes of their busy schedule.”“No problem. Please, follow me,” she says, then turns and leads m

[Vivienne]I have just reached the office when my phone rings.When I see the name flashing on the screen, I immediately think of the worst.I pick up quickly. “Is Axel okay? Please tell me he’s okay.”The principal on the other end chuckles softly. “Axel is fine, Ms. Richardson. I just called to inform you about something.”First, I take a deep breath and tap my hand on my chest, wanting my heart to calm down.Axel is okay. That’s all that matters.Second, I focus on what the man said next. Inform me about something? I wonder what it might be.I gesture for Andrew to close the door and turn around in my chair. “Sure. What is it?”The man clears his throat. “I hope you remember the conversation we had during Axel’s admission. You wanted your brother and sister-in-law to be named as his legal guardians.”“I remember.”That’s right—so much was going on at that time, all the media craze, always hogging outside our mansion, trying to get as many sneak peeks as they could. It made our life

[Caden]I’m in a meeting when the doors of my cabin fly open and Astrid strolls in.From the look on her face, it doesn’t seem like she regrets barging into something so serious.She just stands there, staring at me, as if waiting for me to give her my undivided attention.I take a deep breath and continue what I was saying.“So, as I was saying, we need to finish this segment of the project by the end of the month. If not, the chances of completing it on time will be very slim.”The four men sitting across the table nod, showing their agreement.“That’s all for today. Finish the final draft and send it to me before Saturday. I’ll be waiting.”As the men shuffle out, murmuring polite goodbyes and avoiding eye contact with Astrid, I finally turn to face her fully.She’s already leaning against the door, arms crossed, expression unreadable—but I know that look. It’s the one that usually comes right before she flips my whole day upside down.I arch an eyebrow. “You couldn’t wait five min

[Vivienne]For the last two days, I’ve been coming to pick Axel up.Thankfully, I haven’t run into either Astrid or Caden while doing so—and I’ve been clinging to that tiny stroke of luck like a lifeline.Today, I’m hoping for the same miracle when a sleek black car pulls up beside mine.The moment I glance over and see Alexander stepping out, that hope shakes a little.I almost imagined him to be Caden.Shit, I really need to stop thinking about him.My brows pull together in confusion anyway, however. “What? What are you doing here?”He flashes one of those charming, too-smooth smiles. “The same thing you are.”Like that should explain everything.“I don’t understand.”He looks at me—really looks at me—with a kind of amusement that instantly puts me on edge. And then he chuckles, low and annoyingly pleased with himself. “Oh boy… looks like you’ve been kept in the dark.”My frown deepens, and I hate the way he’s drawing this out. Like this is some kind of game and I’m the last one to

[Caden]The look on Vivienne’s face is one of pure shock.And honestly? I can’t blame her.If I were in her place—caught red-handed with the boy who just called her mom—I’d be just as stunned too.But that’s not what I’m focused on right now.Right now, I’m stuck trying to process the truth that just unfolded in front of my eyes. Trying to wrap my head around what I just witnessed. Trying—and failing—to make sense of it.When Astrid came to my office two days ago, rambling about Vivienne and questioning her reasons for being at the school, I brushed it off. I believed Vivienne. She was calm, collected. There was no reason to doubt her. No cracks in her story.We both lost our child. We both knew what it meant to hold onto grief by the edges, to survive on scraps of hope. For me, it was Benjamin—the son of Samuel and Sasha. For Vivienne, it was her brother’s boy. Or so I thought.I understood her. At least, I thought I did. Her need. Her effort to build something steady, something clos

[Vivienne]“Is he mine?”That’s what he asked.That’s what he wants to know.The fact that he was able to piece together the whole truth in just mere seconds baffles me.But maybe I shouldn’t be that surprised either.If you put Axel and Caden in one room, you could clearly see the similarities in their faces—the texture of their hair, the shape of their eyes and lips, and even that small dimple on their chin.Even if I want to, I can’t deny it.Because he knows. He knows and he still wants to know. Maybe he wants to hear the truth from my mouth. Or maybe he wants me to speak the truth after years of lies I’ve told the world.But instead of doing so, I turn to Alexander instead.“Can you please take the kids home?”“But Vivienne—” he tries to say something, probably warning me against what he thinks I’m about to do, but I cut him off.“Just go. Take both of them. We’ll see you at home.”Alexander nods, hopefully trusting me to handle this mess on my own, and reaches for Axel.However,

[Caden]“So, what would you like to order?” I ask, gazing into her deep brown eyes as she looks at me with a slightly shy smile on her face.Ever since we walked into this restaurant, not far from the hotel, she has been oddly quiet. Not quiet in the sense that she looks unhappy or uncomfortable, but definitely not quite herself either.Something still seems to be bothering her, and I intend to find out what it is.But first, “Have you tried Japanese cuisine before?” I ask.“A bit, here and there. Never thought about it much.”“Then you should know the difference between sake, shochu, and umeshu,” I say, watching as she looks at me in confusion. “Have you tried them?”“No? I mean, I don't know. I haven't been much of an explorer when it comes to... foreign cuisines.”I smile. “Well, since you're already in Japan, why don't we do that tonight? I'm sure you'll love them. Besides, they taste very different from wine or whiskey.”I glance over the menu.“We have plenty to choose from,” I

I swallow hard, his words sinking into my chest like heavy stones dragging me down.Is this really how it’s going to end? Is this really the fate waiting for Axel? To see his father not as a hero, not even as a villain, but as a stranger?The thought alone feels like a knife twisting in my gut.I glance at Caden again, at the hard set of his jaw, the empty look in his eyes. He believes every word he just said. Maybe he’s even accepted it already, as if there’s no point in fighting it.But me? I can’t accept that.I won’t.Axel deserves better. He deserves a family that doesn’t shatter at the first sign of trouble. He deserves parents who at least try—who don’t just give up and call it fate."Maybe... maybe it doesn't have to be like that," I whisper, surprising even myself.Caden finally looks at me, really looks at me, with an expression I can't quite read. Sadness? Hope? Or maybe just pity because he thinks I'm naive enough to think I can save my son from something as broken as us.
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 311
[Vivienne]After Caden revealed another grand truth of his life, he stormed out of my room as if he couldn’t bear to stand in the same room as me.I, on the other hand, drop my ass on the edge of the bed and cover my face with my hands.Shit.Why does everything have to be so messed up? So complicated? So damn… annoying?Just when I think everything between us is starting to calm down and maybe there’s a chance we can have a peaceful, platonic relationship for the sake of Axel, something like this happens, and I’m forced to wonder if all these efforts are even worth it. If letting Caden back into our lives is going to make our lives easier or even more complicated.The truth is, I don’t have answers to any of these questions.Not yet.But I need to find them, or it will be too late to fix anything at all.I stare at the ring on my finger, the generous diamond ring Xander made me wear after his proposal.God knows, I still don’t know what I feel for that man, or if I even feel anything

[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
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 307
[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
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 305
[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
