Lahat ng Kabanata ng No Longer Yours, Ex Husband: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

[Rosita]I can’t read him.I can’t read him at all. Which, of course, means only one thing—I’m in big trouble.Shit. I should have never sneaked in like that.But what choice did I have? He wasn’t answering my calls, and I got worried.The last time he ignored me like this, his blood pressure had skyrocketed, and the doctors—along with his head maid—had taken his phone away for a day.I thought it might be the same this time.But obviously, that wasn’t the case.I shake my head, trying to ignore the way the knots in my stomach keep tightening, twisting over themselves, tighter and tighter.“You can breathe, Rosita. Don’t die on me before I get to say my piece.”I wince at his hard voice, finally peeling my gaze away from the dark scenery outside the moving car. “You’re mad.”“Really? What gave it away?”I wince again. Shit. I do not want to see his angry side. Harvey Richardson might be the only person on this earth who can make me shiver in fear and get wet with want at the same time

[Caden]“Good morning, Caden.”I groan internally. Just as I’m about to leave for work, I hear my name being called by the last person I want to deal with right now.Not that I can ignore her—not when she’s standing right in front of me.“Morning,” I say, hoping we can leave it at that.But of course, Sasha doesn’t agree.She sighs. “Look, Caden. Last night, you made yourself very clear. And I should probably thank you for not giving me any false hopes,” she says, but the way she says it makes me feel anything but relieved. She looks upset, heartbroken, and miserable all at once. Still, she continues. “But now that I’m staying here, I was hoping you wouldn’t give me the cold shoulder. I know you’re a private person, and I respect that. I’ll do everything I can to stay out of your way. But as long as I’m here, can’t we at least be how we used to be? Friends?” She pauses, her voice turning softer. “I mean… that’s the least you can do for me after what your brother did… right?”I don’t k

[Vivienne]Gabriella’s birthday celebration was taking place in the ballroom of a seven-star hotel. I had never been there before, but I wasn’t surprised by how exquisite the place looked.And why wouldn’t it be?Gabriella was the youngest in the family, and her parents adored her beyond measure. It was easy to see that she was spoiled to the core—perhaps even to the point where she misbehaved around people simply because she could… and got away with it.Not that it mattered much. Many kids in our family’s circle were spoiled brats, but that didn’t mean they were hopeless. I had seen plenty of people who started off as insufferable jerks but eventually became some of the most professional individuals I knew.“Vivi!”A childlike voice called from behind me, and I realized with absolute certainty that I had been spotted. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and only then turned around.Standing in front of me was none other than the birthday girl herself, dressed in a white, shimmering

[Rosita]When Harvey enters the room, he’s instantly swarmed by his relatives and admirers.It’s no surprise. He’s probably the most handsome, humble, and sexiest man on earth.I swear to God, he’s like Eros himself. The god of love.Except Harvey doesn’t believe in love. I don’t even know if he’s ever loved someone, but I’ve always assumed that no person on this earth could be completely devoid of those emotions—unless, of course, they’re a psychopath or something. Right?Sadly, he never treated me as anything more than what he made clear our relationship would be. Sure, he never treated me badly either, but I wish we had something more. I’ve always had a ridiculous crush on him, and maybe that’s why, when he offered me what we had, I couldn’t say no. I wanted any part of him I could get. I couldn’t let the golden opportunity pass.Perhaps that’s why I don’t really blame Vivienne for what she did. She was in love with Caden, and she made whatever choices she had to just to keep him i

[Vivienne]I wake up the next day only to find myself searching for my phone.Why? Because the first thought that rushes to my mind as soon as I open my eyes is how the night went for Rosita and Harvey.Strangely, I want all the details, and I know Rosita won’t be the one to give them to me.Mostly because if things went the way I think they did, I don’t want her to feel flustered or awkward.I mean, we’re talking about my brother here, and no matter how open-minded I try to be about his love life, there’s still a kind of ick factor I’d rather not let myself suffer through.I call the only person who was supposed to keep an eye on them while I was gone.Theo.He picks up on the second ring.“Hey, my very smart, very beautiful, and very pregnant cuz. How are you doing this fine morning?”He chirps over the phone, as if he had saved all that morning buzz just for me.I roll my eyes, ignoring his desire to waste precious time. “What happened after I left? Did Harvey even show up?”“Oh, h
