[Caden]

I walk into the house and stare at the couch where Vivienne always used to wait for me in the past. Whenever I was late from a meeting, or my flight got delayed, or I couldn’t make it for any other reason, she was always there, waiting.

But not today.

I frown and walk past the dining room, annoyed by the events of the day. Three years. Three years of marriage, and she wants to break it off. Did she forget that she was the one who proposed marriage out of the two of us? That I always made it clear I was never going to fall for anyone again? That I couldn’t put anyone else first?

Astrid… she is special to me, and nothing anyone does could change that. Then why is my so-called wife being so stubborn now? Why is she painting me in a bad light? Why is she blaming me for everything?

Frustrated, I yank at the tie and pull it over my head, tossing it away, not caring where it falls. I’m pacing aimlessly in the home office when Tony, my childhood friend, strides in.

“So, it’s true, huh?

Thank you for reading this chapter :) What do you think of Caden so far? :P

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 338

    Once we step out of the abandoned building, leaving Caden’s men to deal with Astrid’s madness, we come face-to-face with the man I didn’t expect to find under the same roof as Caden.“Xander,” I breathe out, caught off guard.“Here,” Caden offers, as he gently shifts Axel from my arms to his. “I’ll be waiting at the car.”And then he leaves. Just like that.I blink after him, but my brain’s too fried to keep up. Too much blood, too many screams, too many goddamn emotions for one night. I don’t even have the energy to ask why Xander’s here.“Glad to see nothing bad happened to you or Axel,” Xander says, stuffing his hands in his pockets. I realize he doesn’t sound anything like himself. Or the ‘him’ that I’m used to. The gentler, nicer side of Xander. And not the one he saves only for business. “You had all of us worried.”I look past Xander’s shoulder and watch Caden propping Axel on the bonnet of a black sedan, helping him with a raincoat. I blink back at Xander, frowning.“You didn’

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 337

    I rush to grab Axel out of Samuel’s grasp, but the man is too heavy. I manage to turn him over when I notice Caden lifting the bastard and tossing him aside.“Is he okay?”“I don’t know,” I gasp out as I drag Axel onto my lap, shaking him gently. “Hey. Baby. Come on. I’m here now. Look at me. Open your eyes, sweetheart. Say something.”Axel grunts a little, the side of his face painted with dirt. He shivers and starts whining.I hear Caden sigh, but I’m not looking his way.When I hug Axel tight, this time, he squeezes me back, sobbing against my chest. “M…Mommy,” he whimpers, unable to open his eyes. My poor baby boy is still traumatized, but at least he’s safe. “Loud… hurt my ears.”The breath I’ve been holding leaves me all at once, and I pull my baby even closer. Shaking. Smiling. Laughing.Crying.“You look fine, bud,” Caden states, dropping to one knee next to us. I wish I could run into his arms—I would even dance a damn happy dance—but I don’t.Axel, on the other hand, doesn’t

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 336

    I’m tempted to whip around and face him—just to confirm that what I heard was actually his voice. That the sudden burst of serenity filling my entire soul means something—that it comes from him, and him only.I’ve never felt so much happiness just from hearing someone say a few simple words.But this isn’t the moment. Not when Axel’s life is on the line.“Caden!”But then Astrid’s whole demeanor takes a complete turn. Her taunting sneer and lunatic haze twist into something… miserable. Her eyes go wide and round, and her lips take a downward dive.“Oh my God, you’re here,” she cries, literal tears slipping from her eyes. Her hands go up in the air. “Please save me from this crazy woman. She’s out to kill me!”That’s the biggest pile of bullshit I’ve ever heard in my life. What the hell is this woman up to?Caden, however, simply looks at her with complete boredom. “Drop the act, Astrid. I’ve heard and seen more than enough.”“What? No. I don’t know what you heard, but look at her. She

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 335

    [Vivienne]“Mommy!” I hear Axel scream as he stands behind the pillar, holding it with all his might.When I jumped on Astrid and tackled her to the ground, I forgot I was leaving my little boy, who can’t see, all alone.I might have been really desperate.“You’re so dead, Vivienne!” Astrid snarls, launching herself at me again.I move the gun up and at her, aiming right for her head. “Yeah. Try that, for sure.”That makes her hesitate.On the other hand, Samuel looks absolutely misplaced and terrified. For a man as old and enormous as he is, he’s not very bold, I realize. In fact, from the very beginning, he has been constantly uncertain of himself. Even his act of abducting us wasn’t his own or out of rage—it was out of hopelessness.If not for this dangerous and messed-up situation he dragged us into, I would have honestly felt pity for him.Not that I do. The only thing I have for him is a huge-ass grudge.Astrid laughs, and that’s enough to bring my focus back to her.“What the h

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 334

    [Caden]“How the fuck did you lose her?” I ask the head guard of Vivienne’s security detail.The older man, probably in his forties, looks like he might punch himself in the face.Considering he lost my wife and my son to my drunk-out-of-his-mind brother, I might punch him myself.“My team did all they could to follow them,” he says, “but they eventually lost them due to the heavy rain.”“Well, if we don’t find them in the next ten minutes, you and your team can get lost from this business as well.”The man drops his head, ashamed.It doesn’t help that I’m scared out of my fucking mind. I saw the footage myself. Samuel was indeed here, and he took Viv and Axel into his car—at gunpoint.What I don’t understand is—why would he do that? Why would he go after Viv and my son and not me? Why come back after all these years? For revenge? For payback?But why now? And why Vivienne? Doesn’t he know we’re divorced? And who the hell told him Axel is my son? Because if that’s not the case—if he d

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 333

    “You’re bluffing.”“Am I now?”She stares hard at me before closing her eyes and muttering, “Shit!” Then she whips back around to face Samuel and backhands him again.“You… idiot. You couldn’t even do this one thing without making a mess out of it. If her men are actually outside, we are so damn screwed. You realize that? You fucking asshole.”If Samuel hadn’t sobered up earlier, he certainly seems awake now. He rubs his jaw, glaring hard at the woman in front of him.“Enough!” he snarls through gritted teeth. “I might have been drunk, but I wasn’t dead out of my mind. I know what happened, and those guards she’s talking about—they were nowhere near my car. I made sure of it.”I don’t give them the satisfaction of thinking I’m dangerously doubting the possibility of my men being outside. Instead, I only shrug, as if to say they can think what they want, but they’re fooling no one.Samuel keeps glaring, his fingers twitching like he’s either about to punch something—or lose what little
