[Vivienne]

“Look at that tiny hand, saying hi,” the doctor says with a smile, as we go through the anomaly scan of my baby.

I can’t help but smile, the feeling so natural—so pure—my eyes almost water.

“It’s beautiful,” I mumble to myself, looking at the screen. “Is the baby healthy?”

The doctor shifts the probe slightly, the screen flickering with new images of my baby, who seems so small yet so full of life.

“Yes, everything looks good so far,” the doctor replies, her tone reassuring. “The baby is developing perfectly.”

Relief floods through me, and I exhale a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. My hands instinctively rest on my belly, a silent connection to the tiny being growing inside me.

“Do you want to know the gender?” she asks, her eyes kind.

I hesitate for a moment, glancing at the screen. The idea of knowing feels both exciting and overwhelming, like unwrapping a gift too soon.

“No,” I finally say, shaking my head. “I think I’ll wait. I want it to be a surprise.”

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 344

    His words shouldn’t sting this much—but they do.Each sentence lands like a blow, not out of malice, but out of truth. Hard, unrelenting truth I’ve spent years pretending didn’t exist. And now, sitting here beside the man who’s supposed to know me best, I realize how much I’ve kept from him. How much I’ve kept from everyone.“I didn’t mean to shut you out,” I murmur, my voice rough. “I didn’t even realize I was doing it most of the time. It’s just… it became second nature. If I didn’t talk about it, it wouldn’t be real. Or at least, it wouldn’t hurt as much.”I hear him sigh.“Pretending was easier. Safer. I thought if I kept the pain buried deep enough, it wouldn’t follow me here. But I was wrong. It followed me into my marriage. Into fatherhood. Into this house.”He doesn’t say a word. Just watches me.“I didn’t tell you about my son because…” I pause, the shame crawling up my spine like fire. “Because I didn’t want to mess it up before I even had a chance. I didn’t want to watch yo

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 343

    [Caden]After the tragic confrontation with Samuel, Mom and Dad look more than just devastated—they are heartbroken.I drive them home.Once we reach the mansion, Dad heads straight for the bar, and Mom simply goes upstairs, neither of them uttering a single word.I don’t know what to do—or say. I don’t even know if saying something would help or just make it worse. Maybe they need to figure this out on their own. Maybe we all do.When I enter my bedroom, I try calling Vivienne several times, but she never answers. I know she’s mad. And I know it’s for a good reason. But why can’t she answer me once? Even if it’s just to say she wants nothing to do with me.For some reason that makes too much sense now, I miss her with everything I am. I miss her voice, her touch, her smell—her. I miss the way she smiles, the way she holds my hand, and looks into my eyes. The way she says so much without saying anything at all. The way her silence sounds louder than a scream. The way her smile can bri

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 342

    [Caden]Just like I feared, the moment mom and dad walk into Samuel’s recovery room, he cries out everything.Standing outside his slightly opened door, I hear everything he’s trying to scream and yell. Although he gladly leaves the part where he abducted Vivienne and Axel, and almost killed the latter. Perhaps he doesn’t know I’m here.That fact alone makes me want to wrap my fingers around his neck and squeeze as hard as I can. Not because I hate his guts for lying through his teeth, but because, for the first time in my life, I do want someone dead.“Are you done spewing nonsense?” I say as I open the door ajar and walk inside. “Or should I give you a few more minutes to come up with something even dumber?”The moment his gaze lands on me, he stiffens. His whole face pales, and his jaw literally drops.“You…” he gasps, eyes wide with panic. “You shouldn’t be here.” He scrambles pointlessly against the bed, already lying down like a fool. “Mom? Dad? Why the hell is he in here? Didn’

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 341

    [Caden]I fucked up.But the good thing is: I’m not even surprised anymore.Maybe it was the barrage of emotions that erupted inside me—knowing Vivienne and Axel were taken by Samuel—followed by the absolute relief that slammed right into my chest, and probably my brain, that made me happily ignore all the other danger signs and warnings in my head.How could I not have seen this coming?It was so damn obvious. Right in front of my eyes. So close, I could’ve touched it if I’d just tried.But I didn’t. And like a sweeping idiot, I revealed something so important so casually.I should have known she didn’t know. And how could she?I never brought it up. I completely forgot that five years ago, I let her believe everything she accused me of—even the act of two-timing, which I never did.Shit.It hasn’t even been an hour since Alexander backed off and let me have this second chance, and I’ve already royally fucked it up.“Vivienne, wait!”But she doesn’t wait. She doesn’t even turn around

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 340

    After the grand revelation of Ben’s birth story, I pretty much zone Caden out.Anything he says goes right over my head—not because I don’t understand him, but because I’m simply not interested anymore.By the time we make it to my mansion, Caden pulls up the car and turns to me, waiting for me to say something.I don’t.I don’t wait. I don’t say goodbye, or good night, or anything to start any kind of conversation. I simply push open the door, hug Axel to my chest, and step out.“Vivienne!” he calls out to me, probably for the millionth time. “What happened, dammit?”I so want to tell him what went wrong. I want to tell him exactly what went wrong. But then I think again and wonder—what’s even the use of it? He’s never going to change. He’ll always have this bad habit of keeping things to himself, of having secrets, and I’ll never be able to do anything about it.Other than curse my fate, like I have so many times in the past.What if this is some kind of cosmic warning? What if this

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 339

    During the whole ride back home, Alexander’s words keep echoing in my head.If my life had been a big tangled web of complications before, now it was even worse. To think a man like him came into my life just so he could establish a claim on the child I was carrying… it disturbs something deep inside me.Although something inside me feels sad too—maybe because just when I had started to lower my guard around him, just when I started to see him as a good father figure for my child, he turned out to be someone he never really was.A friend.Now, I don’t know what to think.On one hand, I’m glad everything is out in the open, that he confessed his intentions and stepped back without much of a scene. On the other, I feel exposed, embarrassed, stupid even, that I couldn’t see through his façade—that I let a man with such dark intentions get so close to my child. That I let myself feel anything for him.“Are you okay?” a deep voice arrives from my side, and I blink rapidly, realizing too qu
