[Caden]

The next morning, when I wake up, my body feels like hell.

Not because I’m sore from the sex marathon last night, but because—even after fucking Vivienne all night—I still crave her so damn hard.

Shit. If only I had known how much I was really missing all these years, honest to God, I would’ve never let her go. And truth be told, I can’t even remember why I did in the first place. Maybe the time and distance blurred everything that mattered back then. Or maybe... I just can’t justify my reasons anymore—not now that I know what I’ve lost. Not now that I know nothing could ever come close to what I feel when she’s near me.

I turn to my side, reaching for her, only to find her side of the bed cold.

Damn it. When did she leave? Is she regretting last night?

I’m not. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she is.

After all, it wasn’t something either of us planned. All I know is that when I left that office and went to the guest room, I couldn’t think of anything but her lips on mine, my h

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 317

    [Vivienne]It’s been an hour since we found Axel, and he hasn’t stopped crying.I understand his pain—his guilt. But he’s only five. He’s not supposed to feel that way. That bad. That deeply.This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have left the kids alone in the first place. We are in a foreign country, in a foreign environment. What our kids needed was for us to make them feel safe, not leave them alone with some new and strange nanny so we could go to some stupid dinner.Dammit!“Mommy!” Axel hiccups, tightly holding on to the sleeve of my top while he sits on my lap. “Is Ben okay? Who were those people?”I don’t know what to say, so I look up at Caden, who just got off the phone.“Ben is fine, buddy,” he says, sitting next to us on the couch and ruffling Axel’s short hair with his big fingers. “I promise.”“How do you know? Do you know where he is? Can we go see him?” Axel asks excitedly, his eyes growing bigger with every question that slips out of his mouth.However, Caden shakes his

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 316

    [Vivienne]Every time I think I have seen the worst, something happens and leaves me beyond frustrated and baffled for my own good.This time, it’s the audacity of Caden’s birth family.How can they be so shameless? Do they have no humanity? No emotions? No sentiments for their only child? The only thing they seem to care about is his perfection—the fact that he can represent their family or not, or if he’s worthy of their name.Right now, I want nothing more than to hold this man in my arms and let him forget about the kind of life he has lived. I want him to forget all the pain and betrayal and toxicity he has experienced since his childhood and live in this moment, where everything is selfless and loving and perfect.But I can’t even do that.Because this is not the moment I want him to have. In fact, this is not the kind of moment any parent should ever experience in their whole life.Axel and Ben are nowhere to be found, and that just… ugh… I don’t know what to do.However, befor

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 315

    [Caden]I have never seen Vivienne this outraged before—this scared—but isn’t that exactly how I feel?I feel like this can’t be happening in real life, that Axel and Ben are just playing some weird hide-and-seek, and that this is probably just a nightmare.But as time passes and nothing can be heard about them, my chest grows tighter and stuffier. My head feels like a place too blank and crowded for its own good, and my frustration is beyond charts.Once Vivienne has threatened and shaken the manager to his very core, she shoves him away and runs a hand through her hair. I try to reach for her, but she starts pacing the lobby instead.She snaps her head at the manager, who still hasn’t moved, looking more shocked than ever.“Why are you still here?” she growls.That gets him moving—and his staff people, too. They all rush outside, taking out thei

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 314

    [Vivienne] By the time we made it to the hotel, my heart was in my throat, and my head was buzzing with all kinds of impossible thoughts. Even though Caden does his best to calm me down—with his gentle words in my ears, with his soft and assuring touches—nothing seems to be working enough to make me completely relax. When we reach the reception lobby, the manager and two of his staff are already waiting for us. My voice is almost a scream when I open my mouth. “Where are they?” The manager stutters, “In your suite?” “Still?” “We were just waiting for you.” “For the love of God!” I throw my hands in the air and charge toward the elevator. Thankfully, one opens right when we reach, and we all get in, with Caden existing quietly by my side. During the ride, the manager once again briefs us on the situation. “This is an unfortunate situation, but I assure you nothing like this has ever happened before. Samiko is one of our best nannies. She’s absolutely wonderful with kids. I don

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 313

    [Caden]“So, what would you like to order?” I ask, gazing into her deep brown eyes as she looks at me with a slightly shy smile on her face.Ever since we walked into this restaurant, not far from the hotel, she has been oddly quiet. Not quiet in the sense that she looks unhappy or uncomfortable, but definitely not quite herself either.Something still seems to be bothering her, and I intend to find out what it is.But first, “Have you tried Japanese cuisine before?” I ask.“A bit, here and there. Never thought about it much.”“Then you should know the difference between sake, shochu, and umeshu,” I say, watching as she looks at me in confusion. “Have you tried them?”“No? I mean, I don't know. I haven't been much of an explorer when it comes to... foreign cuisines.”I smile. “Well, since you're already in Japan, why don't we do that tonight? I'm sure you'll love them. Besides, they taste very different from wine or whiskey.”I glance over the menu.“We have plenty to choose from,” I

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 312

    I swallow hard, his words sinking into my chest like heavy stones dragging me down.Is this really how it’s going to end? Is this really the fate waiting for Axel? To see his father not as a hero, not even as a villain, but as a stranger?The thought alone feels like a knife twisting in my gut.I glance at Caden again, at the hard set of his jaw, the empty look in his eyes. He believes every word he just said. Maybe he’s even accepted it already, as if there’s no point in fighting it.But me? I can’t accept that.I won’t.Axel deserves better. He deserves a family that doesn’t shatter at the first sign of trouble. He deserves parents who at least try—who don’t just give up and call it fate."Maybe... maybe it doesn't have to be like that," I whisper, surprising even myself.Caden finally looks at me, really looks at me, with an expression I can't quite read. Sadness? Hope? Or maybe just pity because he thinks I'm naive enough to think I can save my son from something as broken as us.
