No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 91
[Vivienne]Caden looks at me as if he can’t wait to get me alone and actually murder me. Or maybe I’m reading too much into whatever’s going on across his stupidly handsome face. He doesn’t say a word, though, as if daring me to continue testing his patience as much as I can.I don’t know what to make of it, so I just keep talking to the officer. “Rest assured, there was no force involved. I went with Alexander because we’re both adults, and single, and we can do that if we want to. I’ve known him for many years, and, as it turns out, I enjoy his company a lot.”The officer exchanges a blank look with another man in the room. I haven’t seen him before, but he doesn’t seem irrelevant, so I’m just going to assume that my disappearance affected him, too.“So, are you saying Mr. Bane here did not force you to leave the hotel?” he leans forward. “You can be honest, Ms. Sinclair. I assure you, I won’t let any harm come to you. You seem like a smart, independent woman, so I hope you know tha

[Vivienne]Before I can say another word, he tightens his grip and drags me toward the same elevator I had hoped to use to escape from him.I try to free myself. “What the hell are you doing?” I twist my arm, but nothing helps. “Just let me go. Just… Caden!”It’s like he doesn’t hear me at all, or maybe he just doesn’t care.He keeps dragging me into the elevator, slamming the button for our floor, watching as the doors close.“I said, leave me alone!” I try again, over and over, but it’s like he’s made of stone—nothing works. He just stands there, probably pissed off, his jaw tightly clenched.“Have you lost your fucking mind? Just…just let go of me!”When we reach the desired floor, the doors open to reveal a lovey-dovey couple too busy making out to notice anything else. Caden doesn’t care, though. He simply shoves them aside and keeps dragging me along.The couple stumbles out of the way, shooting us confused, irritated looks, but Caden doesn’t even glance at them. His hand is lik

[Vivienne]“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I couldn’t hold back the anger bubbling inside me.This man. God, this despicable man. I hate him so much. So damn much.Who does he think he is? Dragging me around like this, cuffing me to him as if I’ll be fine with it.Well, I’m not fine with it. I’m absolutely against it—aggressively so.Asshole.I try to tug my wrist free, but it’s a battle I can’t win, not without the damn key.“Listen to me very carefully, Caden Lawrence. If you don’t let me go this second, I’m going to make your life a living hell. You hear me? I’ll make you regret this so hard, you’ll cry tears of blood.”I mean every word, but for some reason, Caden doesn’t take me seriously. How do I know? Because instead of responding like a real man, he simply rolls his eyes and chuckles softly.My eyebrows shoot up. “You think this is funny? What the—are you crazy? Are you on drugs? Or have you finally lost your damn mind?”“Tone it down!” he snaps, tugging at his ear

[Vivienne]“You’re insane!” I tell him, shoving his hand off my face.He shrugs. “I’m just telling you the truth.”“You’re talking nonsense.”“Well, that’s not for you to decide.”I want to scream so bad. God! I knew he was arrogant and aloof and zombie-serious, but I didn’t expect him to be such an…such an…asshole!“You think I can only fall in love with you?” If that’s what he thinks, he’s damn wrong. “Well, then, I guess you’re in for a huge disappointment. Because I’m no longer in love with you. It was my biggest mistake in the first place, but twice? Please. I’m not that stupid.”He sits down next to me and takes out his phone, completely ignoring me.He calls someone. “Yes. What’s the status of the plane?”I can hear the voice from the other end, not clearly but enough to make out the person is talking something about the weather.I glance out the window and notice it’s raining.“Alright. Let me know when they give us the go,” he says, then hangs up.“Looks like we’re stuck here

[Vivienne]“Are you out of your mind?”I don’t know what else to say, what else to feel—about all this. This man has to have lost a few brain cells somehow to think I would actually kiss him.“Did you hit your head or something?” I ask, looking for some cuts and bruises around his face. “A very bad concussion perhaps?”Because this is definitely not something a normal Caden would ask of. Well, unless he had a huge memory loss after some tragic accident and he forgot an enormous part of his life. The part where he decided to be an asshole to his wife.Despite my crudeness, however, he doesn’t move or loosen his grip on my waist. Instead, his fingers dig deeper into my skin, making me gasp at the sharp, pinching pain.Leaning closer, he brushes his nose along my cheek, his eyes shamelessly glued to my lips.“Don’t pretend you’re not a little excited at the idea of something happening between us right now,” he whispers, his warm breath grazing my skin. My eyes squeeze shut as I press my

[Vivienne]I don’t know what to say to that.I mean, I can. There’s so much I can say, blame him back for this or that, or maybe hurl the insults back at him. Because that seems like the only thing we both seemed to be good at, now that there’s no relationship left between us.But I press my lips together and look away, refusing to get sucked into this vicious cycle of accusations being thrown around. I know that at the end of the day, I’ll be the one who’s hurt. Caden? He’ll just walk away, head held high, like he always does.“What? Nothing left to say? No comebacks?” he taunts, and if he thinks I don’t know what he’s trying to do, he’s dead wrong.But I’m not taking the bait. I’m not going to lose my temper more than I already have. Instead, I need to focus on getting out of this situation—that should be my number one priority right now.He scoffs. “Fine by me.”Silence follows.He places a plate in front of me, then another in front of himself, and we eat, as civilly as possible,

[Vivienne]“Fuck!” Caden limps toward the bed, sitting down with a groan. “Are you crazy?”I roll my eyes, wanting to do so much more than just crush his foot. “Well, two can play this game. Besides, what did you say earlier? You’re having quite a bit of fun, right? Well, this is me having fun too. And guess what? I’m just getting started.”His eyes widen at my words, but before he can even ‘think’ about ignoring his aching foot and rushing across the room to stop me, I’m already grabbing the showpiece to my right and hurling it to the floor. The china shatters completely, scattering broken pieces everywhere.Then, I just grab whatever I can reach and throw it either at the floor or against the nearest wall.Caden just watches, not saying a word, not even reacting.Though he’s definitely thinking something. Maybe he thinks I’ve gone crazy. And maybe that’s exactly what I need to be for him to get off my back.After I have successfully destroyed the whole room, I finally take a deep br

[Vivienne]“Why do you even care what man I’m with or not with?” I ask after he oh-so-casually tells me to stay away from ‘that’ man.I’m not going to pretend I don’t know who he’s talking about. There’s only one person he could mean, and that man happens to be Alexander Bane. I haven’t forgotten the way he kept glaring at him in that conference room, as if he wanted nothing more than to eat him alive.Then again, Caden always looks at everyone as if he couldn’t be more pissed off. He’s just not a very happy man.“I don’t care,” he shrugs as if that should be obvious. “I just don’t want you to regret it.”“And you know I’ll regret it because…?”“Because you’re not a very good decision-maker.”My eyes widen. “Are you serious right now? You’re telling me I’m bad at making decisions? Who the hell are you to say that?” I scoff. “Says the man who bangs his assistant behind his wife’s back. You know what? I don’t think you have the right to say anything at all. So maybe you should just shut

[Astrid]I stare at the mess in my room.The shattered vase. The broken laptop. The pieces of other furniture overturned and out of place.But even with all this destruction, I feel nothing but rage.Pure, white rage. The kind that makes me want to rip someone’s throat out. Especially that of Vivienne. And her fucking son.I ball my fists, the veins in my hands popping as I fight to keep my control. But it's slipping, fast. I want to scream, to break every damn thing in sight until there’s nothing left. Until I feel something other than this boiling fury that’s choking me from the inside out.How dare she? How dare she take what’s mine? How dare she get so close to Caden? And go on that vacation with him?Did she learn nothing from the past? Is she not afraid that the way she’s going, she’s making an enemy out of me? Out of Astrid? Does she even know whom she’s messing with?I curl my fingers around the glass of water on the table, before tossing it away against the wall too.It shatt
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 309
[Vivienne]I have to say, Caden has a way of doing things that not only gets his work done, but also leaves the other party too confused yet satisfied for their own good.Now, I’m not saying that being shoved against the door and having his face so ridiculously close to mine is satisfying in some weird kind of way, but it surely is leaving me confused for sure.“What are you doing, Caden?” I cannot help but ask, finally able to find my voice after a minute of intimate staring and a confusingly beating heart.I know being jealous has always been Caden’s strongest streak, but I never thought he was jealous because of me. Not that I have deliberately tried to make him feel that way. Ever. It was always him, surrounded by Sasha and her dramatic ways, making me feel like a third wheel of sorts.I try to push him away, but he doesn’t dare budge. His dark eyes remain stuck on mine, his hands clasped around my waist.“Whatever you think.”I sigh, reminding myself once again how wrong everythi

[Caden]After spending almost the entire day at the clinic, when we return to our hotel suite, Ben and Axel drop dead the second their heads hit the pillow.Vivienne, on the other hand, excuses herself for a quick shower and a change of clothes, while I decide to do the same.However, before I pick out my clothes from the wardrobe, my phone starts to ring.Astrid’s name flashes on the screen, and I almost roll my eyes.Almost. Instead, I answer. “Speak.”"Are you serious, Caden?" she asks, so loudly that I have to pull the phone away from my ear a little."What's the matter?""What's the matter?" she repeats, as if she can't quite believe I asked her something so boldly. "What isn't the matter? When the hell were you going to tell me that you were going to Japan with that ex of yours? When, huh? Is this how you treat me now? Keeping me in the dark while having a vacation at some royal hotel suite?"I pinch the bridge of my nose, already feeling a headache brewing. "It's not a vacation

[Vivienne]Caden was right when he told me that Dr. Kaito is not just another doctor in a lab coat with a stethoscope looped around his neck.Oh, no. He’s so much more than that.To be honest, I have never seen a professional doctor quite like him.First of all, he’s not dressed like one.Secondly, he doesn’t talk like one either. No complicated medical words with him. No unnecessary attempt to appease us or assure us. And certainly not interested in the fact that Caden and I are among the richest people in the world.The moment we stepped into his cabin, his entire attention has been on Axel only.Which, of course, I’m glad for, but still. He really asked us nothing. Not his medical history. Not his symptoms. Not even his age, or how long he has been like this.The only thing I have done since we took seats on the couch across from his long desk is hold my breath and keep my mouth shut.Now, almost an hour has passed, and Dr. Kaito and Axel finally return their attention to us.Dr. K
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 306
[Vivienne]“Dr. Kaito will see you now,” the receptionist announced.I look up from my lap and glance around for the hundredth time.Ever since we walked into the building, I have been nervous as hell—and for all the right reasons, I would like to say.For the first time, Dr. Kaito will see Axel, and my son will get to know if he’ll ever get to see like normal kids out there. And that thought alone makes me feel all kinds of anxious. Never in my life have I been this nervous. My palms are sweating, my legs are shaking, and my throat feels dry beyond rationality. My brain is a complex mishmash of positivity and negativity. It’s not like I want to think of the worst, but my heart doesn’t know how to handle this situation without taking everything into account.I need to know how this meeting can go. I need to know so I will be ready for whatever the outcome might be.“Are you alright?” Caden’s familiar deep voice arrives from next to me. He’s probably wondering why I haven’t moved from

[Vivienne]Caden’s about to press his lips to mine, and I’m about to allow it, when something growls so loudly in the room, we both pause, turn stiff, and stare at each other for one long moment.Then, we both burst into laughter.Caden’s face dips into the crook of my neck while I feel embarrassed and giddy at the same time.The thing that growled?My stomach.Caden finally lifts his head, dark eyes crinkling with all the lightheartedness in the world. “You’re hungry.”“Yup,” I mumble, trying to look away but can’t. It’s as if I’m still in some kind of trance, and looking away will break it. “Did I forget to mention?”He shakes his head, and then, thankfully, gets up. Back on his feet, he helps me sit up and then runs a hand through his dark hair. “I’ll order something for you.”“It’s okay.” I try to stand up too, but he grabs me by the shoulders and gently pushes me back on the couch.“No. I’ll order. Just tell me what you need.”I could easily argue with him there, but something in
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 304
[Caden]I haven’t even told her everything yet, and I already feel like so much weight has been lifted off my shoulders.Makes me wonder: why didn’t I do it before? What was I waiting for? What worse could have happened if I had taken that kind of risk?But I can’t rebuff my fears either.It’s hard for me to accept—or confess—but my fears weren’t exactly baseless.When you’ve faced disappointment and betrayal so early in life, it makes you wary of trusting literally anyone—sometimes even your own judgment. And that’s what happened to us. Even though everything inside me approved of Vivienne and we ended up getting married, I still couldn’t get rid of this constant fear and suspicion that somehow she would betray me too—that she would leave me when I was at my lowest, and I’d be able to do nothing but hold myself responsible for letting another person get close to my heart.I’m about to question if my attempt to open up right now is even worth the effort when I finally look up and find
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 303
[Vivienne]“Why are you telling me this?”I don’t know how else to put my bafflement into words if not by being straightforward.No matter how difficult this man can be sometimes, I can’t deny that the man in front of me is known for his straightforwardness when it comes to business. His opinions on matters are never all over the place. Absolutely not. In fact, despite his aloof persona, he always has strong opinions about everything.Simply put, he’s not one to talk in circles, and right now, I plan to do the same.At first, he stays quiet, still sitting on the floor, picking at some invisible thread on my dress. His eyes are lowered, never meeting mine, as if he’s neither done nor ready to end this conversation.“I don’t know,” he says then, quietly as usual. “Maybe I think you should know. Or maybe because I’ve been keeping these things to myself for so long that now I can’t keep them in any longer. If I did, I might explode, and I don’t want that.”I don’t know what to say. Should
No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Chapter 302
[Vivienne]I shouldn’t be having such thoughts right now.Especially when I’m engaged to someone else and the thoughts I’m having involve my ex-husband in the most outrageous manner.Like really. Why would I suddenly think of his lips on mine, his hands on the most secretive and sacred places of my body, and something absolutely unholy that has something to do with his mouth and my…Shit.This is probably the fever talking.Because as far as I know myself, I can’t be that horny for a man. And that too, for a man like Caden.The guy is literally and solely responsible for some of the worst years of my life. Not only did he embarrass me, disappoint me time and again, but he humiliated me whenever he got the chance. He broke my heart in the worst ways possible, even though he knew how terribly and deeply I was in love with him. He didn’t appreciate me when he had the chance, so why—why would my brain force such images into my head?Instead of these steamy encounters, my brain should put
