No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 57
[Vivienne]At first, I don’t understand what Harvey meant by what he just said.But then, I decide to see what he’s trying to show me before saying anything more. I grab the laptop and press play.A video starts playing, and when I see what’s in it, my eyes widen as a mix of anger and confusion rushes through me.In the video, it’s clear as day: Kim walks into her cabin, tosses my designs on the floor, and then pours an entire bottle of ink over the papers, making sure every single page is soaked. And then, when she’s done, she tosses the bottle away and screams.“What the hell?” I mutter to myself, replaying the video and growing even more confused. I stand up straight, staring at the screen. “I don’t understand. Is she for real?”Harvey’s eyes soften. “I know you worked hard on those designs, Viv, and I feel terrible for not being able to provide you with a healthy environment where you can work and grow. This… I never expect this to happen, I swear.”“Hey,” I say as I walk around th

[Vivienne]I return to my desk, and after a few long minutes, I head to Kim’s cabin, knocking gently on the door.Kim looks up, a relieved grin spreading across her face. “Hey, Vivienne. What brings you here? Is Claire bullying you again?”I can’t believe how genuine she seems with her concern, as if she actually cares about me. Maybe that’s why I missed seeing her true colors. But now, I know what she’s capable of, and I’m not falling for this “I’m a good person” act.“No, just wanted to see how you’re doing. I was wondering if you need—”She doesn’t even let me finish. Kim jumps right out of her chair, grabs my arm, and drags me over to her desk. “I sure as hell do. I mean, fifty designs in one night? You know that’s impossible, right? I don’t know what’s gotten into Harvey. He’s never been this unreasonable.”Well, maybe you should’ve thought about that before messing with his sister…I force a smile, nodding sympathetically as if I’m on her side.“Yeah, that does sound like a lot.

[Vivienne]After leaving Kim with a shocked look on her face, I grab my bag and head out of the office. After the kind of stressful start I had this morning, I asked Harvey for a day off so I could calm down and focus on how I want to handle this delicate situation.For now, if Kim is really behind the leak, I’ve made sure she’s cautious and has put a hold on leaking designs for the time being. But I have to be smart about this. What if the traitor isn’t Kim? I need to stay open-minded and cautious around everyone.“Viv!” A familiar voice calls, pulling me out of my thoughts. I look over my shoulder to see Rosita heading in my direction. I texted her as soon as I left the office, and she promised to meet me for brunch.“Hey, someone looks chirpy today,” I say as she grabs a chair and sits across from me. She’s wearing a yellow sundress that looks fantastic on her, bringing out her pale blue eyes and bright smile.She smirks. “Well, someone got the chance to design an exclusive red car

[Vivienne]I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to say.What the hell is Avery doing here? And how the hell did I ruin her life?But that’s not the priority right now. My face hurts like hell, and I hiss, trying to breathe through the pain.Rosita grabs her bag and mine, already on the phone.“Yes, some crazy woman threw hot coffee on her. I’m driving her there myself. Please be prepared when we arrive. Yes. Thank you. Thank you so much.”She snaps her phone shut, her eyes burning with anger. “Fucking psycho,” she mutters under her breath as she helps me to my feet. “We need to get you to the hospital, now.”I nod, barely able to focus through the searing pain on my face. Every step feels like a fucking ordeal, but I push through it, trying to keep my shit together.“Don’t worry, Viv. We’re almost there,” she says, opening the car door for me and helping me sit and buckle up. “I swear, if I ever see that bitch again, I’ll—”“Just drive,” I grind out, not in the mood for her r

[Vivienne]“Vivienne!” my brother gasps as soon as he sees me, worry and relief flashing in his dark eyes. He walks up to my bedside, and Rosita immediately rises from her seat.“I need to take a few work calls. I’ll give you two some privacy,” she practically blurts out.I want to argue and ask her to stay, but the flush on her face and her embarrassment makes me stop and shut my mouth. It’s not her usual look, but I have a feeling it has something to do with the two men now in my hospital room.I try to hide a grin as she ducks her head and makes a quick exit. I look back at my brother and then at Elijah.“Let me guess. Marcus told you about this.”“Yeah.” Harvey looks down at my bandaged hand. “Thank fucking God he did, or I’d never have known my baby sister was dealing with this alone. Why the hell didn’t you call me?”“Well, first of all, I didn’t have time to call anyone. And secondly, it’s just a burn. Nothing I can’t handle myself.”Elijah looks down at my face, disappointed w

[Vivienne]Elijah stands up before I can come out of my speechless moment.He faces Caden, blocking my view of him.“You need to leave, Mr Lawrence. My client—”Caden scoffs, cutting him off. “She’s not your client anymore, Mr Walter. We are already divorced.”“Which, of course, makes me even more determined to look out for her,” he grits out, trying to stay calm, but even I can feel how close he is to losing his temper.Caden takes one step closer. “Why? Because she’s single? Because she’s back to being a free game?”Elijah doesn’t back down, not an inch. He leans in to get right into his face. “Why? Does it bother you? Does it bother you to think about a world in which Vivienne is happy, without you? Does it hurt to think that she’ll soon forget about you? Because she will.”A growl of pure anger rises out of Caden’s throat and his hands tighten into fists by his side. But before the situation gets any worse, I decide to stop it right there.“Stop it!” I snap at them, and the two me

[Vivienne]I look at him and wonder: did I really marry this man for what’s in his heart, or was I just attracted to his face, like so many women out there?Because honestly, how did I miss it before? How did I miss this…this man that he’s turning out to be these days?It’s like I never really knew him.“You wouldn’t.”He scoffs out a small chuckle, leaning back and crossing his legs. “Wouldn’t I?”He would. I can see it in his eyes. This man is as stubborn and proud as they get. I know this about him. And if he wants something, he would stop at nothing to get it, consequences be damned.“Why? Why are you doing this?”He looks away for a brief moment, as if something outside the window caught his eye, then turns back to face me, looking deep into my eyes.“You know why. You always know why.”And I do, of course I know why, I’ve always known. For Caden, his family is everything. They’re more important than his life itself. Which is why he has always gone to extreme lengths to keep them

[Caden]The moment I step out of Vivienne’s room, I feel like the whole world has shifted under my feet and everything’s turned upside down.I loosen my tie, hoping to relieve some of the pressure around my neck, but it’s no use. I feel…weird, almost sick to my stomach.But then I come face to face with Elijah Walter and suddenly everything makes sense.“Stay away from her,” he practically growls as soon as he spots me. “This is my first and last warning to you.”I roll my eyes, scoffing. “And what makes you think you have a say in any of it? Who even are you to her?”“I’m a lot more than you could ever hope to be to her. That’s for sure.”The smugness on his face makes me want to punch it right out of him, and it takes every single ounce of self-control not to do something I’m sure I’ll regret later.Instead, I tighten my hands into fists and slide them into my pockets.“More than I could ever hope to be, huh?” I nod, feigning thoughtfulness. “That’s rich, coming from someone like yo

[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

[Vivienne]After spending a few hours sitting next to Harvey, who has been drifting in and out of consciousness due to the painkillers, I ask Mom and Dad to head home.They’re old and don’t have the same stamina they once did.“You should get some rest too, Vivi,” Mom says, holding my hands in hers. “You’re pregnant, and this is too much stress for you to handle right now. Think about the little life inside you. You need to be more cautious.”“I know, Mom,” I say, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. “And I’m fine. I’ve booked a room at a nearby hotel, so I’ll be staying there until I get a call from one of the nurses that Harvey is awake. They said he’ll probably sleep through the night, so there’s no point in staying.”She nods. “Good, good. Your dad and I will leave then. But let us know when you get to the hotel—we’ll worry otherwise.”“Sure, mom. Don’t worry about it.”Finally, mom and dad leave, and I sit with Harvey for a while.I look at him, and hold his hand. “You better be aw

[Unknown POV]“You didn’t have to come,” the man in the black jacket says, pulling a cigarette from his lips—not that he was smoking in the first place.Some men just love to pretend, I guess.“I need to be sure,” I tell him as I step out of the car, my gaze lifting to the hospital building. “You’re sure they’re here?”“Absolutely,” he says with confidence. “I was the one who called 911.”“You did?” I snap my head toward him, frowning at his audacity. I’m paying him to do the job, not to think. “And why the hell would you do that? I strictly asked for a crash, not a damn rescue.”“But you did say you didn’t want them to die.” He arches a brow, like he knows so much better than me.I roll my eyes. “Well, I couldn’t have cared less either way. I only said that so you wouldn’t screw it up. Killing someone brings a lot more heat than just getting them hurt. And in my personal opinion, men fall apart under pressure.”“Well, not me, clearly,” he shrugs, and I somehow resist the overwhelming

[Vivienne]My feet come to a halt, and I freeze where I am.Did I just… hear that?I can’t even be sure. There’s so much going on in my head that if someone told me I was hallucinating, I wouldn’t even be surprised.The only difference? It doesn’t seem like I am.I know I heard that. And I know, I know that voice.I turn around, brows furrowed, and take another moment just to look at the woman on the bed.“Did you say something?” I ask, slowly walking back to her, curious as to how the hell she knows my name.But the woman is silent once again, the lines on the screen making no different patterns.Maybe I did hallucinate that…I shake my head, ready to leave, when, from the corner of my eye, I notice a small movement of her hand.Her fingers—trying to lift, trying to say something.I move closer to her bed.“Hey.” I reach for her hand, hoping to calm her down. “You’re okay. It’s all going to be okay.”I don’t know if the words coming out of my mouth right now are true or a lie, but sh

[Vivienne]The nurse leads me to the operating theater first but asks me to wait outside.My hands shake as I stare at the door, wondering how Harvey must be doing.How the hell did he get into an accident? Who was the woman with him? Why did he skip work? And what the hell was he doing on the west side of the city? We don’t even have any offices there.That area is basically filled with schools, colleges, and other educational institutes."If you need anything else, I’ll be at the reception," the nurse says, ready to leave and get back to her work.I don’t let her, though.I speak before she can even turn. "How long is it going to take?"She understands what I mean by it—she must face situations like this every day. "Nothing can be said for sure right now. And I understand that waiting feels difficult, especially when your brother is in there. But trust me, the best thing you can do right now is let the doctors do their job. They will tell you everything once they’re done treating yo

I decide to pick up my things from Harvey’s place and head back to our grandparents’ house.It’s the only place where I can think clearly and have some peace to myself.God knows I need a moment to just breathe.So much has happened in a single day—my body and brain both need a well-earned break.When I arrive at his place, Mimi still hasn’t returned from school.Good. Because if she had tried to stop me one more time with those big, adorable eyes, I probably would have changed my mind. That girl has some serious charm. No wonder Harvey can’t resist any of her demands—same goes for my parents.Dad once told me that when he took her to his office—back before he retired—she demanded to play loud pony-themed music and made everyone dance, as if the entire company had thrown a party just for her.Easy to say, the employees couldn’t have asked for a better break—or a better boss.Anyway, I grab my stuff and get back into the car, making sure to leave a text for Harvey so he knows my unexpec

[Vivienne]Once I’m far enough that Avery’s screaming fades into the background, I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself.God knows what’s up with these Lawrences lately. Have they all sworn to make my life hell? To never let me have a moment of peace?I shake my head and push some loose dark curls out of my face.When I return to the table, I find Theo sitting alone.And my anger flares all over again.How could he do this to me? Out of all the women he could have dated, he chose her—the sister of my ex-husband? Did he have no respect for me? Did I not tell him what that family did to me?How could he ignore all of that and fall for a girl who is neither right for him nor anything like him?She’s just like her mother. Like Sasha. Evil. Pure evil.I still remember the day she threw that scorching coffee in my face at the café…Anyway, I take a deep breath and make my way to the table.Theo sees me approaching, and before I can say a word, he stands up, hands braced against the tab

I stare at her, unsure whether to laugh in her face or take her seriously.“End me?” I tip my head to the side, pushing her off me at the same time. “Do you hear yourself? You sound unhinged.”“You think I’m joking?”“Nah, more like you’re trying to be something you’re not.”“You think I can’t hurt you?”I roll my eyes. “Oh, please. You? Hurt me? Avery, you’re a spoiled little brat from a family of professional liars and melodramatic wannabe royals. The only thing you’ve ever ‘ended’ is a shopping spree when Daddy cut you off. So, forgive me if I find it absolutely hilarious that you think you’re some kind of threat.”Avery’s mouth drops open.She probably didn’t expect me to say something like that.I’m not surprised. I was never this sassy in front of Caden’s family. I was good, loyal, and completely dedicated. But instead of appreciating any of it, they always assumed the worst of me.And—shockingly—they still do.Anyway, now that she has nothing to say, I turn to finally get the h

[Vivienne]Avery looks just as surprised to see me.Her eyes widen, and she jolts to her feet, her face slowly turning pale.Theo probably notices her odd reaction, but before he can say anything, Avery quickly grabs my arm and giggles over her shoulder.“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to arrive. I desperately need a lady’s help. Be right back!”And with that bizarre excuse, she drags me to the bathroom, shuts the door, and spins to face me—a crown of sweat already glistening on her forehead.“What the fuck are you doing here?” she snaps, glaring at me with those little brown eyes of hers.I raise a brow. “I could ask you the same question, couldn’t I?”“Oh, shut up!”“If that’s what you want.” I turn to leave. If she wants me to shut up, then I’d rather spend my time elsewhere.But of course, she doesn’t let me.She grabs my arm and yanks me back around—hard this time.I hiss and wrench myself free. “Are you crazy? You’re hurting me.”Instead of looking guilt
