[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

*PRESENT*[Vivienne]By the time our flight lands at Lynden Pindling International Airport, Rosita and I are thoroughly rested and incredibly excited.Since Rosita planned this vacation all on her own and kept it a surprise, I don’t even bother asking what kind of resort or hotel she might have picked.Rosita flashes me a grin as we exit the plane, her designer shades perched perfectly on her nose. “Ready to get spoiled rotten?”I laugh, adjusting my own sunglasses. “I was born ready.”As we step outside, the tropical air hits us—warm, humid, and carrying the faint scent of saltwater. A private car is waiting for us, the driver holding a sign with our names on it. We slide into the backseat, and Rosita pops open a bottle of champagne from the minibar, pouring us both a glass.“To paradise,” she toasts, clinking her glass against mine.“To paradise,” I echo, taking a sip. The champagne is crisp and cold, the perfect start to what I’m sure is going to be an indulgent getaway.The car ev

[Vivienne]I don’t know what to say.I mean, what are the chances that the moment I decide to step out of my country, I end up bumping into one of the rarest and most elusive men I know?“Ms. Sinclair,” he says, his handsome face splitting into a charming grin. “Fancy seeing you here.”I want to roll my eyes, but I’m too stunned to even do that. “I could say the same. What are you doing here?”The last time we met, he came to rescue me and Marcus from those crazy couple who wanted to sell off my eyes to some rich fella. I still remember the look on Marcus’s face when I told him the man who saved us was Alexander Bane. Later, when I told Rosita about it, we both laughed for hours.Alexander drops his dark eyes to the space between us, and for the first time, we both notice how close we are. While he seems neither surprised nor awkward, I can’t say the same for myself. Heat rushes to my face in waves until he finally steps back, running a hand through his dark hair.He chuckles, and it

[Vivienne]I stare at his outstretched hand like it’s some sick joke.The floor is littered with bodies, blood spreading out in thick, dark pools, and he’s acting like we’re just heading out for a casual stroll.I frown, not liking this one bit. “Are you serious? No! I’m not going anywhere with you. You just… you just…” I can’t even say it, and now that the words are in my mouth, I realize how dangerous this situation is—how dangerous this man is.He just killed five men right in front of me.Shit. Is he going to kill me now too? Am I a liability he wants to take care of?Fuck!“Look,” I try a much softer tone this time. “This doesn’t have to be this way. I swear, I won’t say a peep about this. You don’t have to…”He cuts me off, tipping his head to the side. “I don’t have to what?”I swallow hard, my heart racing as I try to piece together a coherent thought. “You know…like… you don’t have to kill me, right? I’m not exactly in the mood to die right now. I just wanted a nice fucking v

[Vivienne]If there’s one thing you should know about Alexander, it’s that it’s very hard to say no to him.So, of course, we end up on the dance floor, where a dozen couples are already swaying to the soft music that’s playing.“By the way, I’m glad you decided to wear the dress. I was almost sure you’ll choose to wear something more…simple.”My brows furrow at the realization and stop dancing. “Wait. You sent the dress?”He smirks. “Who else do you think wants you to look the prettiest?”I’m confused. “But I thought it was…Rosita. Wasn’t she?”He nods but pulls me closer, guiding me back into the slow dance. “She came up with the idea, yes. But this is the first event you’re attending after all these years—I had to make it special.”I arch a brow. “So, you bought the most expensive dress… just to impress me?”He laughs lightly. “You say it like it makes me look insane.”I smirk. “Well, if the shoe fits…”“Ah, but wouldn’t that make you the woman engaged to an insane man?”“Hmm.

[Vivienne]Alexander’s lips brush against mine in a brief kiss.“You look beautiful, my love,” he whispers close to my ear, sending another shiver down my spine.And though I do my best to embrace his affection, like every other time, something feels… amiss.I pull back, not wanting him to see the war between my heart and my head when it comes to him.“You didn’t tell me you’d be here.” I put my mask back on. “I could have joined you.”“Sure, but then I would have missed that look of relief on your face, wouldn’t I?”I shake my head. “Do you have to be such a jerk? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me just to walk through that door?”“I know, darling,” he says, tucking a dark strand of my hair behind my ear. “That’s why your best friend and I decided you needed to do it alone—for your self-confidence.”“Of course, Rosita i

[Vivienne]Somehow, Rosita manages to convince me to attend the infamous masquerade ball.And God knows, after cutting myself off from this world of parties and social events, making a comeback like this feels weirdly uncomfortable as fuck.Anyway, I take a deep breath, giving myself a little TED Talk—just go in there and have some, I don’t know… fun?I shake my head and turn to the driver. “Stay close. I have a feeling I might be back early.”Stepping out of the car, I look up at the massive Oriental building.I’ve attended a few galas here before—by before, I mean back when I was in my teens, dragged along by my parents. But looking at it now, it feels like a different world entirely.Clutching the invitation, I move toward the entrance.The moment I step inside, the atmosphere swallows me whole.Velvet drapes, gilded walls, and the shimmer of crystal masks catching the light—everything screams wealth and secrecy.Masked guests drift past in elaborate gowns and tailored suits, their

[Vivienne]After bathing and changing Axel into a fresh pair of clothes, I ask Anna to take him downstairs.Meanwhile, I repeat the same process for myself—taking a quick shower and changing into something that doesn’t reek of the office and the stress that comes with it.I check my emails on my phone and get ready to head downstairs for dinner.But just as I’m about to leave, my gaze falls on the package Anna mentioned.I set my phone aside and check the return address.Not a company I’ve ever heard of.“Hmm… now, where the hell are you from?” I mutter, opening the box and checking the contents inside.Only to find another box inside—but not the same boring brown one. This one is white, with a little pink bow on top.Strange. I don’t recall ordering anything in the last few days.Frowning, I take the white box out an

[Vivienne] After one hell of a day, Axel and I finally make it home. As always, he yells for his favorite aunt—Anna. “I’m home! I’m home! Anna, where are you? I have so much to tell you!” Anna—the one person who has been with me through thick and thin, who has fought her own battles, escaping an addicted and abusive father to build a safe life for herself and her little brother—comes running. Her smile is as bright as the sun. Anna barely has time to respond before Axel throws himself into her arms, his little hands gripping her tightly. “You won’t believe what happened today!” Anna laughs, ruffling his hair. “Oh? What happened?” He pulls back, dramatically placing his hands on his hips. “First, Mommy was late—again.” He shoots me a pointed look my way, probably because I haven’t moved from my place. “Well, tell me something I don’t know,” she winks at me before shifting her attention back to my little, adorable boy. “And what else?” Axel launches into a rapid retelling of

*Five Years Later*[Vivienne]"I don’t think you’re even trying to understand what I’m saying here, Mr. Carter."The man frowns, sighing deeply, as if he thinks I don’t know what I’m talking about."Look, Ms. Richardson, I don’t mean to be difficult, but dropping the prices of such exclusive products can’t be good for business. Our credibility will take the brunt of it, and you know it.""That’s why I’m suggesting launching new sizes, Mr. Carter. Until now, our products have only catered to a certain audience, leaving out a vast majority of willing users who simply can’t afford them due to the high prices. My team has conducted thorough research and found that if we introduce smaller sizes, people who could only dream of using our brand will get a taste of it. And who knows? They might get hooked—willing to spend more over time—eventually leading to increased

[Vivienne]Once the doctors and the nurse leave, I don’t even have to wait for the doors to close.Rosita is already breaking into an explanation.“I can explain,” she says while I continue to stare at her in pure disbelief.“And how would you do that?” I ask after a moment of silence.I’m still standing where I was, still unable to wrap my head around whatever just happened.She breathes out a sigh, glancing over my shoulder as if making sure no one else walks in.“Something happened after you left last night, and I—”“And you decided to hide your real identity?”“No. That’s not why I—”I shake my head. “Please, then help me explain. What are you so afraid of? Why would you give them my name instead of yours?”She sighs once again, but this time she looks more exhausted than before. “I had to. And I will explain everything once you calm down and give me a chance to say my piece.”———————[Caden]I’m busy discussing a serious matter with the head of finance when Betty Adam, my assista

[Vivienne]It felt like a bolt of lightning striking straight down my spine.I couldn’t even wait for Harvey to explain anything further.I just got up and bolted, hurriedly telling him to rest while I took care of something.He must not have believed me because he tried calling after me.“Vivienne!” he yelled behind me. “Stop! What happened?”The moment I step out of his room, I nearly collide with Molly, the nurse.“Oh my, where are you off to?” she asks, looking both amused and confused. “My shift is over, so I came to do a last round. Is everything okay?”“I’m fine,” I say quickly. “My brother is awake. You can check on him.”“He is? That’s great news. I’ll go right away.”If Molly thought I was acting strange—too rushed, too eager to get the hell out of there—she didn’t say anything. She simply moved out of my way and headed into
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 234
[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
