[Vivienne]

When I return to our table, Harvey seems to be scrolling through his phone.

But the moment he catches sight of me, he quickly puts it aside.

“So, everything okay?” he asks again as I sit down, probably because I still look lost in thought. I know this because I practiced looking normal in front of the mirror. But now I realize I’ve never been good at hiding my emotions. And it won’t change in a matter of a few minutes either.

Caden’s words really left their mark on me.

“Absolutely,” I smile at him, hoping it works.

It doesn’t. Harvey quickly raises an eyebrow, not at all convinced.

“It’s nothing. I’m just not feeling well,” I lie. I just want us to move on from this conversation. It keeps reminding me of my stupid encounter with Caden.

He gives me a long, scrutinizing look before nodding slowly. “Alright, if you say so. But you know you can talk to me about anything, right?”

“I know, Harvey. Thank you. That means a lot.”

I take a deep breath and reach for my glass of wine,

    [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

  • 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
