[Vivienne]

After climbing three or four flights of stairs, we reach the rooftop.

At first, I’m not sure how being on the rooftop could solve any of our problems—problems like the bunch of men still pounding the hallways downstairs, looking for us.

But just as I’m about to ask him if the plan is to jump or do something even more ridiculous, the loud sound of a chopper pulls my gaze toward the night sky.

I squint up at the helicopter.

It’s sleek, black, and clearly expensive—because of course it is.

He glances over at me, catching the disbelief on my face, and a slow, knowing smile spreads across his lips. “Not exactly the jump you were imagining, is it?”

I glare at him, the absurdity of it all starting to sink in. “You’ve got a fucking helicopter on standby?”

“Always be prepared, darling,” he says, his tone infuriatingly casual as if we’re discussing nothing more than the weather. “You never know when you might need to make a quick escape. And it looks like tonight, you’ll be joining m

  • No Longer Yours, Ex Husband   Epilogue (2)

    [Vivienne]When Caden returns home in the evening, he doesn’t look like his usual, happy self.During conversations, he seems distracted, and dinner… he outright skips it, excusing himself, saying he doesn’t have an appetite.I know about his meeting with Mr. Lawrence today, and I wonder if something happened.Perhaps that’s why, when he returns to our bedroom after putting Axel to sleep, I find myself waiting for him.When the door opens and his gaze rests on me, he gives me a half smile. “Hey.”“Hi,” I say, rising from the bed and walking over to him, running my fingers through his hair. “What’s wrong? Ever since you returned from meeting Mr. Lawrence, you’ve been… distant. Is everything okay?”Usually, Caden is good at holding himself together. He isn’t exactly a very emotional person; in fact, by nature, he’s reserved and tries to fix his problems all by himself.But tonight, something’s off.Tears start to swim in his eyes, and my heart instantly aches. “What happened?”“He’s dyi

    [Two Years Later][Caden]“Dad!” The moment I catch sight of Mr. Lawrence, a genuine grin spreads across my face. The fact that he looks even better—healthier, mostly—than the last time I saw him makes me feel a little less guilty. “Welcome to Milan.”Dad hugs me tightly, a huge smile on his face as well. “Caden, my son. It’s been so long. Almost two years, and look at you.” His eyes scan me from head to toe. “I was afraid you weren’t taking care of your health—you used to be so busy with work and always skipped meals—but seeing you this healthy, and this happy with my own eyes…I feel great.”“I feel the same, Dad. You look great, too. Have you been exercising?” I tease, grabbing his luggage and guiding him toward the exit. “Don’t tell me you’re back into the dating field.”Two years ago, Mrs. Lawrence passed away. The doctors said that after losing two sons, she had lost her mind and slipped into depression. After that, her health only declined. She survived for merely a month before

    I move my arms around him. “I’m not holding a grudge, don’t worry. In the past few weeks, you have been by my side all the time. In fact, if not for you, even with all the money in the world, I probably couldn’t have found the mysterious Dr Kaito and gotten Axel treated.”Despite my genuine feelings, his expression changes. “You say it as if I did some kind of favor. Axel is my son, too, Vivienne. I’ll do anything for him. If need be, I’ll give my life for him.”“I know.” I stop him before he says too much. “I didn’t mean it that way. I just meant that I’m grateful, and if you continue to be a good dad to him, I won’t hold you accountable for anything in the past. But…” I pause as seriousness seeps back into me. “…if you mistreat him or hurt him in any way, I won’t forgive you either. I swear upon my life, Caden, I’ll cut all ties and leave—”Before I can finish, he crashes his lips against mine, silencing me.“You think I’m that stupid?” he says once he breaks the kiss, his eyes lock

    [Vivienne]After we return to Milan, Axel finally finds some sleep.“I can’t believe we overstayed.” I shake my head, smiling softly as I run my fingers through his soft curls. “But as soon as his sight returned, he couldn’t stay still at all. He wanted to see everything, wanted to try every amusement park, and wanted to play every game he hadn’t before.”I begged him to take it easy, to not rush into everything that came to his mind. But my five-year-old didn’t want to be held back. After consulting Dr. Kaito, he was finally discharged. And since then, Caden and he have been glued to each other as if they had never known distance in their lives.And that’s how we ended up spending an entire week in Tokyo.I sigh and adjust the blanket over him. “Sleep now, sweetheart. Tomorrow will be a new day and a fresh start. There’s so much you still need to see.”After putting him to sleep, I step out of his room, only to bump into Caden.“Careful,” he says, his face too close to mine.I blink

    Another hour later, Dr. Kaito steps out by himself.Caden and I rush to him.Before we can say anything, he frowns. “Axel is unconscious for now. The nurses will keep an eye on his condition and update you accordingly.”He starts to leave, but I stop him. “Why is he unconscious? What are these special tests? And why did he have such a strong reaction to them?”Dr. Kaito turns back around. “Ms. Richardson, I will not lie to you. I’m not like those white-coat doctors you see everywhere. I have my own ways of treating patients, and my own kinds of treatments and tests. When I last saw your son, I realized his condition was a little different from your husband’s. So, naturally, his treatment had to be different as well. I studied the previous tests and developed a new treatment. It’s still a little unconventional—something not many doctors would approve of—but I trust the wisdom and knowledge passed down to me by my ancestors. I have faith in their findings and follow them with a true hea
