[Vivienne]

Harvey looks at me as if he’s looking at me for the first time, before he scoffs out a soft chuckle.

“Are you serious? Who doesn’t know Jasper Sterling? He’s the star designer of my company. The guy is a freaking genius. I mean, every time I think he has reached the peak of his success, he surprises everyone with a new invention and outshines himself all over again. What about him though? Don’t tell me you plan to work under him. Because I assure you that’s practically impossible.”

He shakes his head before moving around the table and settling back in his chair. “There is already a long line of people who want to work for him. I mean, that’s what people are trying to achieve, you know, the chance of working with such an iconic person. I’m just glad I was able to bind him to my company. For the next five years, he won’t be able to work for anyone else. Imagine the kind of business he can do for us.”

I smile to myself. I didn’t know my brother was so impressed with Jasper’s w

  • 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’

    [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

    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

  • 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’

    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
