“You look strangely excited,” I comment, watching Mother as she sings some tune under her breath. I can’t make out the song, but it’s surely nothing depressing.

Mother looks up from the magazine in her lap, her eyes bright as the sun. “Of course I’m excited. I have every reason to be.”

That’s not what I expected her to say. After our conversation last time, I assumed she would still be pissed off. After all, I failed her. And if there’s anything this woman does not appreciate or respect, it’s a failed man.

I perk up a brow. “What reason are we talking about here?”

She smiles and leans close enough to whisper, “I’m finally meeting my grandson. Isn’t that exciting?”

I look at her for a whole minute before I realize she isn’t kidding.

“What?” I stand up from the chair. “When? How?”

What I really want to ask is “why?” Because as much as I know how obsessed she is with Caden’s child, I didn’t expect her to be able to convince him to let his kid visit her on literally any occasi

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Chapter 320

    [Caden]When the car pulls up at the Bane residence, I take a long, deep breath.The truth is: I don’t know how this exchange is going to go.But one thing is sure: I’m not leaving without Ben.No way in hell.I step out of the car and look up at the grand entrance.Dozens of guards stand outside—some making rounds, some simply standing guard.When I move toward the main entrance, however, no one makes a move to stop me.I head inside with ease, only to find the place eerily quiet.For a second, I almost think I came to the wrong address. But then, just as quickly, I realize the slim chances of that happening.“I’m here,” I say loudly, announcing my presence, hoping to get her attention that way.“Of course you are,” comes from upstairs.I turn around and narrow my eyes at the top of the stairs.There, standing tall with a bright smile on her lips, stands the woman I hate with every last inch of my existence. The woman with whom, if I ever got stranded on an island, I would leave her

    [Vivienne]“This is the third time he hasn’t answered my call.”“And I told you he wouldn’t,” Caden says, rather confidently. “Not only because he got what he’s been after for so long, but also because he’s just another toy my mother loves to play with. I bet he’s so wrapped around her tiny little finger, he’d need her permission just to breathe.”I roll my eyes. Not because I don’t believe him, but because I’m sure he’s a tad exaggerating.No matter what Caden has to say, and the reasons he has to back himself up, I still feel like Alexander isn’t the huge monster he’s making him out to be. Sure, he’s mafia, and has done some really dangerous and questionable things, but the way he has been with Axel, the way he looked into my eyes when he talked about us—it all can’t be fake. Can it?My heart says we still don’t know the whole story—or at least his side of the story—and until we get to hear it, he should be given the benefit of the doubt.But I don’t say my thoughts out loud, assure

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Important Update!

    Hi,So… last month happened.My absence has been long—definitely not how I planned it. Let’s just say, despite trying everything and planning everything, I still wasn’t prepared (kind of like my home, which has been under mild renovation for over a month now).Anyway, if you’ve been keeping up with the little updates I left after some of the chapters, you’d know I was due last month. Surprise, surprise—because of my hypertension, the doctors decided to induce me early. And after going through 12 hours of labor, my child still decided to make an entrance via cesarean.Yup. That’s how crazy last month has been for me. Most of you have probably moved on, but to those of you still here—wanting to see this through as determinedly as I do—thank you for sticking around, waiting, and not giving up just yet. I’ll be trying to get back to updating this book soon, because god knows Viv and Caden deserve a happy ending—or at least some kind of ending, lol.Last but not least, thank you for your p

  • 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
