No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 32
[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.

[Vivienne]I head back to my room to grab a few essentials before heading out.On my way, Marcus approaches me with a new phone.He gives me a grin. “Just arrived. I already set it up for you. All you have to do now is add your email address and other details and you’re good to go.”“Thanks, Marcus. You’re a lifesaver.” I take the phone from him and do the needful. It takes more than five minutes but the moment I’m done, I feel like the weight of the world has lifted off my shoulder.“Done!” I say with so much relief that Marcus chuckles.Then he notices me head to toe and frowns. “Are you leaving for somewhere, Ms. Richardson?”“Yes. I have to meet a friend,” I check the time and wince. “And I’m going to be late. Shit!”He chuckles again, and I have to say, he has a cute smile. “Would you like me to be your driver again? Mr. Richardson already asked me to be at your beck and call.”Of course, Dad would do that. Sure, he wants to make sure I’m doing fine, but that’s not the only reaso

[Vivienne]Panic sets in as I see the guns pointed at us. Marcus, still outside the car, looks at me with a mixture of anger and concern. He gestures for me to stay calm.I slowly reach for the door handle, my hands trembling. The men continue shouting, their voices harsh and impatient.“Get out, now!” one of them repeats, banging on the window.I push the door open and step out, my heart pounding in my chest. Marcus moves protectively closer to me, his eyes never leaving the armed men.“What do you want?” Marcus demands, his voice steady but edged with tension.One of the men steps forward, his gun aimed at me. “We don’t want to hurt you. Just come with us quietly, and no one gets hurt.”My mind races, trying to figure out who these men are and why they’ve targeted us. I glance at Marcus, who gives me a slight nod, silently telling me to comply for now.“Fine,” I say, my voice shaking. “Just don’t hurt anyone.”The man nods, seemingly satisfied with my response. “Smart choice.

[Vivienne]I don’t know what else to do.The way he’s acting—so different from anything I’ve ever seen—I feel like the only way I’ll get through this is by getting the hell out of here.But there’s just one little problem.The way he insists on driving me home, I can’t shake the feeling that even if I reject his offer (which I already have, by the way), he won’t let it go. If my past experience with his stubbornness is any indication, he’s going to follow me. And if he doesn’t do it himself, he’ll hire someone to do it for him. He’s done it before—what’s to say he won’t do it again?And if I’m being honest, I’m not ready for him to know anything about me yet.There was a reason I moved to my grandparents’ place—to get through this pregnancy in peace.I glance at him now, his face etched with determination, and I feel a wave of frustration wash over my entire being. He’s not the same man I left behind—not completely, at least. There’s something softer in his expression, a crack in the

[Caden]Before I can even reach for her arm, she pushes her chair back and grabs her bag.“Are we done?” she asks, her tone distant, her gaze fixed anywhere but me. She doesn’t even want to look at me anymore.If this had been one of those times in the past—when things were easier, when she still loved me—I might have thrown a fit myself. I might have grabbed her arm, dragged her to the car, shoved her inside, and kissed her like she was the air I needed to breathe.Kiss her. God, it’s been so long since I felt her lips on mine. Too long. And who knows how long it’ll take me to convince her to come back home, to even give me a chance to touch her again. I’d do anything for her, but I know better now. I burned those bridges myself. I’ve been a jerk, an asshole, so utterly blind to her existence, that if it takes me an eternity to carve even the smallest fragment of love back into her heart, I’d deserve every second of that wait.But I don’t have that kind of time.I can’t let my child

[Caden]There’s so much I want to say—so many misunderstandings to clear.But I can tell she’s way too worked up to hear anything right now. If I even tried to explain anything, she’d probably blow a fuse.So, I do what I do best. I shut my mouth and keep it all in, reminding myself that the whole point of inviting her here is to have a calm and collected conversation—a meaningful one—and there’s no way I’m doing anything to make her think otherwise.When the hostess arrives, I release a relieved breath and lean back in my chair.“Let’s just order something. We can always continue this later.”For whatever reason, Vivienne looks at me as if I have lost it. Her big, brown eyes stare at me as if about to eat me alive. She mutters something under her breath, probably calling me names and all, before going back to the menu and ordering herself more than a few meals.After the hostess leaves, I turn to face her. “Are you going to be okay eating that much food?”She glares. “Do I look like

[Vivienne]I agree to ride with Caden, but not without having the biggest distance between us possible.We make it to the restaurant and he helps me out of the car.The restaurant is a little bit fancier than I imagined. It’s not some huge place, but still, it’s got a really nice vibe to it.As we enter the restaurant, there’s a short, plump woman in a suit standing there. Her blonde hair is pulled into a low bun and she smiles as we approach.“Welcome,” the woman greets, giving us a small bow.“Table for two,” Caden replies.“Yes, this way, please.”The hostess leads us to a table and pulls out the chair for me, which I accept gratefully.I take my seat, and Caden follows, the hostess handing us each a menu before leaving.“What do you want to have?” he asks, as if this is some normal, everyday thing for us, instead of him practically forcing me to come here.“Doesn’t matter.”“Come on. There must be something you like. Order anything you feel like. I promise I won’t judge.”He says

[Vivienne]“Look at that tiny hand, saying hi,” the doctor says with a smile, as we go through the anomaly scan of my baby.I can’t help but smile, the feeling so natural—so pure—my eyes almost water.“It’s beautiful,” I mumble to myself, looking at the screen. “Is the baby healthy?”The doctor shifts the probe slightly, the screen flickering with new images of my baby, who seems so small yet so full of life.“Yes, everything looks good so far,” the doctor replies, her tone reassuring. “The baby is developing perfectly.”Relief floods through me, and I exhale a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. My hands instinctively rest on my belly, a silent connection to the tiny being growing inside me.“Do you want to know the gender?” she asks, her eyes kind.I hesitate for a moment, glancing at the screen. The idea of knowing feels both exciting and overwhelming, like unwrapping a gift too soon.“No,” I finally say, shaking my head. “I think I’ll wait. I want it to be a surprise.”The doct

[Sasha]“No!” she says stubbornly, her brows furrowing. “How can you even think about it? Absolutely not. You’re not bringing any harm to the child, Sasha. You just can’t. I know it’s hard right now, but that doesn’t mean you should do something so rash.”“I know you don’t want to hear it, but what choice do I have?” I choke out, my voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t have any money left. So, instead of starving the baby to death, wouldn’t it be better if we just… let it go?”I cry harder, my tears soaking the sleeve of my shirt.Mrs. Lawrence gets up from the couch, pacing the hall as if trying to think of something.She turns to face me almost immediately. “Alright, here’s what I think.”
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 199
[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 h
