No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 63
[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]It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion—the kind where you know it’s going to end badly, but you just can’t look away.His eyes meet mine, and for a second, I see something there. Guilt, maybe. Or regret. But then it’s gone, replaced by that cold, indifferent mask he always wears when he’s around me.I feel my hands clench into fists at my sides, my nails digging into my palms. I’m not sure if I want to scream, cry, or maybe both.But I won’t give the two of them the satisfaction of knowing that this display of theirs affects me in any way. I won’t break.When I came out of my room, I only wanted to know where they had put my clothes. My phone was in my pants, and without it, I felt kind of helpless.Typically, I would ask Rosita, Elijah, or my brother for help, but they weren’t around. And let’s be honest, I didn’t mind a little walk. I was feeling stiff anyway.But I only take a few steps out of my room when Caden and Sasha fall into my line of sight. I stop dead in

[Vivienne]I get back to my hospital room without waiting for him to say anything more.What’s even the point? It’s not like I didn’t see this coming.Everything was right in front of me, and yet… yet I thought… I prayed for it to be a lie, a misunderstanding, but it wasn’t.It was all real.He really did betray me, sleeping with his family friend/assistant behind my back.The nerve of that asshole.I take a deep breath and pour a glass of water for myself.Just then, the door opens, and Rosita rushes in.“Sorry, sorry, something came up at work and I was trying to make sure—” she stops, looking at my face carefully, probably not missing the way I’m breaking down right now. “Hey…” she holds my arm and cups my face. “What’s wrong? Is it the pain? And why are you out of bed? You’re supposed to be resting, Viv? What’s going on?”And I tell her what’s going on. I tell her what I saw. And I tell her how everything I did for that man all these years was nothing but a joke to him.“That son

[Vivienne]We decide to go to the Bahamas to get away from the city and all its drama, even if just for a little while.I feel bad for leaving work like that, especially with the deadline for the next project Harvey and his company are looking forward to, but he insisted I go.“You deserve this,” he told me. “And it’s just for a week. We’ll be fine. And when you come back, we can talk about how things are going to go from here.”“But what about Kim? If she—”He didn’t let me finish. “For now, just focus on yourself. I’ll have someone keep an eye on her so she doesn’t get the chance to cause any more trouble. Go. Have a nice time. And call me if you need anything, okay? I’m always here.”And so, a week later, I’m boarding a plane to a foreign country. As the plane soars through the sky, taking me to a place where I can let go of all my worries, my thoughts return to the person I’m trying to forget—Caden.But maybe this trip down memory lane is necessary—to finally rip him out of my sys

He was a head taller than her, dressed in black trousers and a button-up midnight blue shirt that had been haphazardly rolled up to his elbows.His black hair was slicked back, but a few stray strands had fallen into his face.He was also wearing glasses with black frames, but even through them, she could see the startlingly dark color of his eyes.He looked like someone who belonged at an art gallery rather than a college house party, but it was that contrast that made him so fascinating to look at.Vivienne glanced at the phone in her hand and cursed under her breath. She’d missed the call, and her brother had sent her a message saying he’d call again soon.Shit, just my luck, she thought, glancing up at the man who was still staring at her.“Um…sorry,” he said to her, his voice deep.He took a step back and spun on his heels until his back was pinned against the mirrored wall of the elevator. They both looked up at the numbers dropping one after the other, and she tried very hard t

[Vivienne]He glanced down at his hand as if he hadn’t even noticed the blood dripping from it.“It’s nothing,” he muttered, shaking his head like he could just ignore it away.Vivienne wasn’t having any of that. “Nothing? Dude, you just wrecked those guys and broke a fucking mirror. You’re bleeding everywhere. Don’t be an idiot.”He gave her a look that was half amused, half annoyed. “I’ve had worse.”She rolled her eyes. “Oh, what a badass. Do you want a medal, or are you actually going to take care of that?”Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed his arm again, gentler this time, and started pulling him toward the street. He didn’t resist, just followed her like he was too tired to argue.They ended up at a little convenience store, the kind that’s open 24/7 and sells everything from bandages to cheap booze. She shoved him inside, ignoring the weird look the cashier gave them as they headed straight for the first-aid aisle.“Sit,” she ordered, pointing to a bench near the door.

“Do I know how to drive?” Vivienne echoed, a bit thrown off by the question. “Yeah, of course. Why?”“Because I don’t trust myself behind the wheel right now. And I’ve got a car parked right outside the skyscraper.”Vivienne blinked. “Wait, you want me to drive you back to campus? But… I didn’t even get to enjoy the party,” she frowned at herself. “I mean, it might not look like much, but it took me a good few minutes to look like this,” she pointed at her dress as if to highlight something he might not have noticed before.He glanced at her dress, then back up at her face, his expression unreadable.“Sure. But once you step out in that rain, it’ll probably look like you drowned. Besides,” he glanced down at his watch and nodded. “…in exactly fifteen minutes and five seconds, Harry’s parents will be coming back home. And before you ask—no, he doesn’t know. He was too busy watching p**n with his best friends when they tried to call him.”She blinked again, then looked back at the conven

[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
