[Vivienne]I roll my eyes.Caden’s been cheating on me with her all this time, and I’m the one who’s heartless?What a joke!“Oh, please. No need to be so dramatic now. I hardly pushed him. But you know what? Why don't you teach your boyfriend some good manners? He seems to have a hard time understanding that no means no!”Sasha gasps at my words and pulls Caden even closer, glaring at me with fire in her eyes.“Just stay away from us, Vivienne. Can’t you see that your mere existence is making his life hell? Can’t you see you’ve already done enough damage?” she snaps.“Oh, shut up,” I spit back. She doesn’t even know what I’ve gone through these past years, but she thinks she knows everything. Idiot! What the hell does she want to prove? That I’m the bad guy here? That I’m the one who’s wrong? Well, she can dream on.I don’t care what anyone thinks of me. Not anymore.I turn around and decide to leave the lovebirds alone. I would hate to come between them. Besides, I don’t think I can

[Vivienne]Harvey and I walk into Dad’s office and find him talking on the phone.With his back to us, he continues, “I don’t care that he’s a damn kid or that he’s an idiot. The fact that he’s young and clueless doesn’t excuse his reckless behavior. I just know that you have lost the right to ever ask us for any kind of help. I hope I’ve made myself clear. You should be sorry—damn sorry—because the sheer stupidity and incompetence of your son have just cost you millions, not to mention the damage he’s done to your family’s reputation. You’ll be lucky if anyone in this industry takes you seriously after this debacle.”He finally hangs up and turns around, looking angrier. Spotting us, his face softens, and whatever irritation was visible moments ago vanishes.“Kids, you’re back. How was your evening?”“What was that about?” Harvey asks first, walking over to Dad and taking a seat. “And was it George Clarkson on the phone?”I frown. Isn’t George Clarkson the father of Sasha and Arthur?

[Vivienne]When Rosita suggested celebrating my freedom from a painful marriage, I didn’t expect her to drive us to the most high-end club in the city. I thought we’d go to some nice restaurant and have a lovely dinner, talk about our lives, and do what friends do when they meet after such a long time.But I should have seen this coming. Rosita had always been the loud one between the two of us. She always had a reason or two ready to throw a party or convince others to throw one.Anyway, the good thing is, at least I’m dressed for the night.Because of the way she has been circling me and whistling I might have gained her approval.“Holyshit, Vivienne. This dress looks so damn stunning on you," she comes in front of me, grinning ear to ear. “I don’t act cocky at my work all the time, but right now, I feel like I have just birthed a goddess. White really suits you, and these golden hoops, oh my god, I think I might fall in love with you and I’m not even Bi.”I roll my eyes at her exag

[Vivienne]“Let me go, you asshole!” I growl. “Or I swear to God, I’ll rip your balls off.”I can tell the stranger is in a lot of pain, but he doesn’t let go of me. Instead, he tightens his grip and whispers in my ear, “If you’re not careful with your words, you’re not getting out of here alive.”His voice sends chills down my spine, but it doesn’t change the way I feel right now. “I said let go. Or do you need me to repeat myself?”“Oh, come on, babe, no need to be so angry,” the other stranger says. “Just loosen up a bit. Have some fun with us.”“Yeah,” his friend agrees, inching closer.The first guy’s breath smells of beer. I crinkle my nose.“You know you want this, just admit it. We can give you what you want,” he whispers.I look away and roll my eyes at the ceiling. “In your dreams.”“But you do—” The rest of his words are cut off by a giant man who suddenly appears in front of us. The man is so tall, so broad, and so dangerous-looking that I find my breath hitching in my thro

[Vivienne]When I wake up next time, my head hurts like hell.My body feels like it has been run over by dozens of elephants, and I find myself blinking up at the ceiling, trying to make sense of everything around me.I turn to lie on my side, only to find a large expanse of someone’s naked back blocking my vision.That’s when the first wave of panic sets in.“Oh my god!” I yell and jump up, my heart beating in my throat. I look down at myself for good measure, and that’s when a second wave of panic hits.“What the hell?!” I squeak. I’m absolutely naked. And not just that—there are bruises on my inner thighs and a deep, deep bite mark on my hip.Oh god. No. This is a bad, bad dream. That’s it. This must be a nightmare.“No!” I shake my head and bolt out of the bed, now facing the bed and staring at the man who was lying beside me.I cup my mouth and try not to have a breakdown.“God, what did I do?” I run my fingers through my hair and realize it’s a complete tangled mess.I try to th

[Caden]I’m still trying to piece the night together when Vivienne starts throwing accusations at me. Every word she says, every glare she shoots my way, hits me straight in the chest like a thousand arrows.“You know what? This act of yours has made things final for me. I want that divorce, Caden. And I want that divorce now.”But when those final words come out of her mouth, something snaps in me. Ever since I woke up, I have tried to be patient, to hear her out, but what the actual fuck?“So that’s how this is going to be?” I say as she starts to head for the door, still not able to walk straight as she sways a little, probably because of the hangover she is trying to fight.Before she gets to open the door, however, I stalk over and slam it shut. She turns to glare up at me harder, but I’ve had enough of her mindless accusations.Especially when she doesn’t even know what happened last night.Or maybe she does, and now she’s trying to put the blame on me because it’s easier to do

[Sasha]When I reach the Lawrence residence, I hear Caden’s mom and Avery laughing before I even enter the living room. They’re both on the couch, smiling widely, and their faces brighten even more when they see me.“Sasha!” Avery rushes over and hugs me tightly. “Thank God you’re here. Mom and I were just talking about you.”“Really? Talking about me?” I ask, pulling back from the hug and plastering on a smile. “What were you saying?”Avery leads me to the couch, her eyes sparkling. “Oh, Sasha! You won’t believe what happened last night. You’re going to go crazy.”“I can’t wait to find out. What happened?”Caden’s mom places her hand on my knee and leans in. “Remember how I promised to get rid of Vivienne? Guess what happened last night.”“What happened?”Avery jumps in, excited. “Vivienne is gone, Sasha. You don’t have to worry about her anymore. We got her good. She’ll never manipulate Caden again.”Before I can ask how the hell they made that possible, Caden’s mom continues where A

[Vivienne]After Caden leaves, I sit on the floor, trying to understand what I did to deserve this. I can’t believe I slept with that man. I can’t believe I begged him to take me.God, did I really kiss him first? And that too forcefully? Did I really beg him to fuck me?Shit. Why did I do that to myself? Why would any sane woman do that to herself?That just proves that whoever drugged me last night, didn’t use something simple and normal. No. Whatever it was, it was powerful and made me horny as hell.Shit. Caden wasn’t wrong about the unprotected sex. I can still feel his seed in me.There’s a good chance he got me pregnant.Why now? Why would he do this now when I finally want a clean break from him? Why would he make things between us more and more complicated?He’s a monster, that’s why.I sit in the same position, lost in thought. But then I realize I need to do something about this mess, and quickly. I need to find the assholes who drugged me and tried to take advantage of me.

[Sasha]I can’t believe I’m back here.After everything this family has done to ignore me, to ensure I never received a single penny from them, I’m still here, hoping for some help.Never in my life did I think I’d be in a position where I’d have to beg for my next meal. But here I am, and it’s the only option I have left. After selling the company and using half of the money to pay off the loan shark, and the other half to cover Dad’s hospital bills and pay the overdue salaries of employees we’d kept waiting for years, it wasn’t surprising that I was left with absolutely nothing.It doesn’t help that my idiot brother, Arthur, is nowhere to be found. Ever since he was released from the hospital and learned what I had to do to get rid of the jerk he borrowed from, he’s completely disappeared.Damn it. If I see him next time, I swear to God, I’m going to kill him.“How long is this going to take?” I ask, standing up from the couch as I spot one of the maids of the Lawrence residence pas

[Vivienne]“Where are you? You were supposed to be here hours ago,” I say over the phone, carefully walking down the stairs per the doctor’s instructions during my last visit.“On my way, I swear. Just got caught up in a call and couldn’t put it off,” Rosita says huffing, and not at all sounding as if she’s in a car.I reach the end of the stairs, frowning. “Have you even left? Please be honest with me.”“Of course,” she says as a matter of fact, but then right after a moment, she blurts out. “Actually, no.”Before I even respond to that, she rushes to explain. “Before you get mad, just hear me out. I swear I was leaving, I was almost ready to leave the house, get into my car, and reach you, but then…then someone came over and it seemed like urgent. And I could have told you all about that but…but…but…”“Hey, hey, hey,” I laugh. “Calm down, Ro. You’re making me sound like some tyrannical friend or something. It’s fine, really. The only reason I asked you to come over is because you sa

[Caden]Since our last meeting at the courthouse, I decided to keep my distance from Vivienne.A few weeks have passed now, and I think it’s enough time and space she might have needed to get used to the new reality of our lives—the kind of reality where she sees me around more often. The kind of reality where she allows me to be there for her and our child.“Excuse me, sir,” Betty Adams—my assistant—pulls me out of my thoughts.I look up to find her standing at the door. “The meeting starts in five.”The meeting. Of course. My last task of the day. After this, I’ll be free to visit Vivienne.Speaking of which—I get up from my chair, reaching for my suit jacket. “Did you find Vivienne’s new address?”I hear footsteps behind me. “About that…”When it feels like she’s going to leave it at that, I turn around, frowning. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“I mean, I tried, sir.”She must be out of her mind. “Well, clearly, you haven’t tried hard enough.”“But, sir—”“Leave it.”I walk past

[Vivienne]I can’t believe he’s here.But why?“Hey,” I manage, even though his unexpected appearance has completely thrown me off. “Long time no see.”“You don’t say,” he replies, placing the glass of water on the table in front of me when I make no move to take it. I might have zoned out for a second there. “So, how have you been? And may I just add—you’re a very hard person to find.”I smile faintly. That’s exactly what I’ve been aiming for since moving to my grandparents’ home in the hills. “Maybe that’s the point. I like my life quieter these days, away from all the chaos.”“I get it,” he says with a soft chuckle, his expression neither offended nor prying. “For a while, I thought it was me who chased you away, you know—with all those talks about faking an engagement and everything.”Oh. Right. I almost forgot about that. The proposal he made—the arrangement he thought would make his mother happy.Too bad I had far more pressing problems to deal with at the time.“Trust me, it wa

[Vivienne]“Are you sure you want to attend this event?” Harvey asks as I walk into my walk-in wardrobe, trying to pick an appropriate evening gown for the night.“Of course, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have asked you to accompany me if I wasn’t,” I shrug, leaning towards a stunning black dress but quickly getting distracted by a shimmery white gown with a sexy slit.“That, I understand. But considering your health…”“I’m fine, Harvey,” I roll my eyes. It’s been two months since that night when I rushed myself to the hospital after spotting blood on my sheets. “According to my doctor, I’m well past the risk phase, and I can start getting back to my daily routine.”“But still,” he says, sounding as if he still has doubts.Look, I know he cares. He’s my big brother, after all. I’ve known about his possessiveness for a very long time. But the reason I don’t want to spend my days sitting like a duck at home is that I’ve started to get terribly bored.Besides, tonight’s event is kind of special.

[Sasha]“What the hell is this place?” Dad fumes, glancing around the cramped, one-room apartment I brought him to straight from the hospital.“It’s…” I glance around myself, wrinkling my nose at the awful smell wafting in from the nearby window. “…something.”“Sasha,” Mom calls out, drawing my attention. Her voice holds a mix of confusion and concern. “What is this? Why aren’t we home?”“Mom, there’s something you should know,” I begin, feeling beads of sweat forming on my forehead and trickling down my back. I turn to Dad, bracing myself. “Remember the loan Arthur took from that loan shark?”“Of course, I do. How could I forget the biggest disappointment of my life?” he huffs, walking over to the old, sagging couch in the corner. He pauses before sitting down, noticing the thick layer of dust covering it, and chooses to stand instead. “What I don’t understand is—what are we doing here? Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? I need rest. I need to be home. And this place is far from i

[Caden]“Congratulations, Mr. Lawrence. You got what you wanted.” My advocate—Atlas Norman—extends his hand for a handshake. “Despite my better judgment, of course.”I return the handshake, albeit a little reluctantly. “You say that as if I ruined your fun.”“Well, you did. Especially since I enjoy a good challenge. But either way, my client’s satisfaction is what matters most. So, I’m glad I could be of service.”I have a strong urge to roll my eyes but manage to keep my composure. “Thanks for your efforts.”“All my pleasure. Now that the restraining order has been lifted, you need to be very careful with how you conduct yourself, Mr. Lawrence. As the judge mentioned, all eyes will be on you, and if you mistreat your ex-wife or the unborn child in any way, the order could be reinstated. From this point on, it’s about walking on eggshells. I hope you’ll remember that.”Of course, I do. That’s all I can think about—how not to screw this up.I might not have been the best husband a woma

[Vivienne]I answer the call—it’s Elijah.“Hey,” I say, watching Theo get up and resume pacing back and forth across the room.“Hey. How are you now?”“Much better. In fact, I’m just waiting for my discharge papers.”“That’s good to hear, Vivienne. I’ll come by to visit as soon as I can.”“Sure.” But something about his tone feels off. “Is everything okay? You sound… serious.”Elijah exhales, his tone growing heavier. “I won’t lie to you. I just got word from your ex-husband’s attorney.”The mention of Caden makes my throat go dry. Why is he suddenly everywhere today? Why can’t he just leave me alone?I shake my head, trying to dispel the rising anxiety. “What the hell is he up to now?”“Nothing good, if I’m being honest.”“Just tell me already.”“They’re preparing to file a motion to contest the restraining order.”“He’s doing what?” Did I just hear that right? Is Caden out of his mind? Why would he fight something he never cared about in the first place? What’s his goal here? A sudde

[Vivienne]“Ms. Sinclair?”I snap back into focus, realizing I’ve zoned out again.Damn it. Why am I thinking about him again? What is there to even think about? He broke my heart, shattered my life, and yet, here I am—wondering what else I could’ve said, what more I could’ve done, just to get some reaction out of him.I shake my head, trying to pull myself out of this vicious spiral. It’s the same toxic loop I always fell into when we were married—constantly questioning myself. What could I have done differently? What could I have said better? Anything that might’ve made him stay a little longer, look at me with more than passing interest, spend more than just a fleeting part of his day with me. Anything that might’ve made him care for me like a real husband, like someone who actually loved his wife.But no. I can’t let myself fall back into that labyrinth of false hope and endless what-ifs. Not again.Taking a steadying breath, I force a smile for the doctor, doing my best to seem c
