[Vivienne]

“Oh, Vivienne, you’re finally home!” Mom welcomes me as soon as I walk through the door.

I hug her, and she hugs me back. “Sorry, Mom. It took me a while. Life just got very hectic.”

“You think I haven’t heard that before?” she pulls away, pouting. “Your father has used every kind of excuse in the book, sweetheart. Now, you don’t get to tell me the same.”

I chuckle. “Okay, okay. Sorry. Happy now? I’ll try to drop by once a week from now on.”

“It’s still not enough, but a good start nonetheless.”

She finally smiles and leads me toward the dining room. “Come on now. We have so much to talk about. Let’s chat in the kitchen. I’m still not done with dinner.”

I raise an eyebrow. “You’re making dinner? All by yourself?”

She gives me a side-eye. “Just because I let the chefs handle most of the things around this house doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten my skills. I can still cook a decent dinner if I put my mind to it.”

I feel bad for saying something like that. “Mom, that’s not what I me

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 357

    [Vivienne]“She’s losing blood too fast.” I try to get rid of the ropes tying me to the chair, but no matter how much I pull, they don’t budge. “Don’t be an idiot, Astrid. Call for an ambulance. Right now.”Instead of showing any remorse, Astrid gets back on her feet and wipes the blood off my top. “And why would I do that? I planned this whole thing out. The only thing getting out of here unharmed is her soul.”“You—” Even though it doesn’t surprise me that this woman would do something as crazy as kill someone, I didn’t expect her to go against Agnes. If Caden learned of this, he wouldn’t let her live; that’s for sure. “You think that’s going to bring Caden closer to you? You’re even stupider than I thought if that’s your plan.”She laughs, unblinking. “Killing Agnes is not the first part of my plan, Vivienne.” She then leans down, whispering into my ear, “The second part is to pin this on you.”“You’re out of your mind.”“And whose fault is that?” she screams, pulling back and yank

    [Caden]“The press conference is about to start. Please get ready,” Betty Adams, my assistant, reminds me, and I nod.Nervousness crams through my veins, but at the same time, I realize I have never felt so decisive before. What I’m about to do today is something that needs to be done. If not, I would never be able to prove my sincerity to Vivienne. During our three years of marriage, Vivienne suffered a lot and sacrificed even more, while I was out there, doing my business and neglecting the one person I should have cherished to the moon and back.“Caden,” I hear Dad’s voice from behind.I turn around to find him standing at the door. He smiles, reflecting the same anxiety that I feel inside. “Are you sure you want to do this? You don’t have to. You can—”“I need to, Dad. To bring my family back, I must walk this path.”“But why do you have to go to such an extreme? Vivienne can’t be that unreasonable. I’m sure if you two sit and talk—”“Vivienne knows nothing about this. This is all

    [Vivienne]When we reach the city’s biggest mall and enter one of the garment stores, we are instantly swarmed by attendants. Apparently, someone informed them of our arrival—especially of the Richardson heiress—and they can’t wait to please me.By someone, I mean Rosita, of course. Thanks to my brother, she owns this whole damn mall.“OMG, look at this. I love this white dress. What do you think?” Rosita shrieks, her eyes literally glittering. When it comes to fashion, there’s no one as good as Rosita. Her fashion sense is far better than mine. Maybe that’s why she’s my very own personal fashion advisor.“If you say it’s good, then I’m sure it is.”Rosita rolls her eyes. “Don’t patronize me. Try this out, then we’ll see.”She drags me into a changing room, and I obediently do as I’m told.When I step out, Rosita looks beyond stunned. She gasps. “Vivienne… you look absolutely divine.”I glance at the mirror across from me, and for a moment, I don’t even recognize myself. The dress cli

    [Caden]She tries to pull her hands away, but I can’t bear to part with her.After what she said, I feel like she’s ready to give up on me. And the thought…the thought alone makes something in my chest ache. Something as intense as desperation rises in my throat, and I feel like throwing my arms around her and not letting her go.I hold on to her tighter, hopeful that if I touch her long enough she will change her mind. “Just hear me out once.”“I know you mean well, but I need some more time.” She pulls away, her gaze sad yet determined.Time. Of course I can give her that. I can give her all the time in the world. But why do I feel uneasy just thinking about her leaving right now? I feel like if she left now, I’d never see her again.“Take me with you. I’ll help you shop. I’ll carry your bags. I’ll hold the door open for you. I’ll… do whatever you want me to do.”She looks at me as if she can’t believe her ears, and maybe her eyes, too. “Are you…” She shakes her head, fingers runnin

    [Caden]Fifteen minutes pass in pure anxiousness.Neither Harvey nor I are able to sit quietly. We both seem to be restless on our feet, looking up at the door every ten seconds.Perhaps that’s the reason why, when I catch a slight sight of Vivienne walking out of the building, my heart almost feels like it’s about to lunge out of my chest. I don’t even realize when I kill the distance between us, almost rushing to her and grabbing her by the arms.“Are you alright? What happened in there? Why do you look so glum? Did they mistreat you in any way? Why—”“I’m fine,” she says with conviction, her eyes bright yet a deep frown tugging at her lips. “Don’t worry. They have nothing concrete against me.”“Thank goodness. I swear to God, if they had kept you five more minutes outside, I was about to call for another lawyer, because apparently, Elijah was not able to keep his word.”“Are you serious?” The man standing next to Vivienne grumbles before rolling his eyes. “The only reason it took u

    [Vivienne]“What? Nothing to say anymore?” I hear the detective’s voice, laced with sarcasm.He couldn’t be more wrong.But that doesn’t mean I’m not surprised.I turn to face him. “Before today, I’ve never seen this woman in my life.”“Don’t be so hasty, Ms. Richardson. Maybe take a minute or two.”I roll my eyes. “My memory is quite sharp, Detective. If I say I’ve never seen this woman before, I mean it.”“Alright.” He turns to the woman. “Please wait outside.”The woman leaves.The detective sits straighter, smiling to himself as if pleased with all the calculations going on inside his head.“For someone who’s failing miserably at getting a confession out of me, you look pretty happy.”His grin widens. “Maybe because I already got what I needed.”He stands up, almost cheerfully, grabs his file, and leaves.“Weirdo,” I mumble to myself—then realize I forgot to ask if I could leave. “Dammit!”By now, the time for my plane must have already passed.Shit. I can’t believe I can’t even l
