All Chapters of No Longer Yours, Ex Husband: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

[Vivienne]The moment we step inside what seems like an unfinished room of sorts, the rancid smell of this bedraggled place crashes into me from all directions.It’s as if something died in here—and not in a peaceful way.I hear Axel gasp, his hands covering his mouth and nose almost instantly.Suddenly, the car that had felt suffocating earlier now seems better than this disaster of a place.“God, what is this place?” I moan, trying very hard to breathe through the poison.“Shut up!” But Samuel’s obviously in no mood to compromise with whatever he’s trying to achieve here.“Get over there.” He points at a pillar a few feet away from us, the only one that seems to be holding the entire place up. “Here. Take your spawn with you.” He pushes Axel toward me, and I gladly catch him in my arms.Anger pulses through every nerve ending inside me for how he’s been treating my son, but I keep my mouth shut, hoping to gain the upper hand soon enough—so I can finally show him his place.The basta

Axel burrows into my side, tightening his arms around my legs.His small frame trembles against mine, and I can feel the quick, shallow gasps of his breath against my hip.God, if only I could do something to get us out of here—sooner rather than later. Because God knows the longer we stay here, the harder it will be to get out of this alive.Especially now that I have two psychos to deal with.I hate that I’m so helpless. I hate that Axel has to witness this absolute madness.While Astrid continues with her rant, I steal a glance at the entrance, silently begging for any kind of help to arrive. My guards must have followed us—I’m sure of it. I have to be sure. So what the hell is taking them so long? Every second that ticks by feels like a countdown I can’t see the end of.“Hey!” Two fingers snap sharply in front of my face, jerking me back to the present. “Eyes over here,” Astrid sneers, her voice laced with mockery. “What are you even looking at, princess? Expecting a cavalry to bu

[Caden]“How the fuck did you lose her?” I ask the head guard of Vivienne’s security detail.The older man, probably in his forties, looks like he might punch himself in the face.Considering he lost my wife and my son to my drunk-out-of-his-mind brother, I might punch him myself.“My team did all they could to follow them,” he says, “but they eventually lost them due to the heavy rain.”“Well, if we don’t find them in the next ten minutes, you and your team can get lost from this business as well.”The man drops his head, ashamed.It doesn’t help that I’m scared out of my fucking mind. I saw the footage myself. Samuel was indeed here, and he took Viv and Axel into his car—at gunpoint.What I don’t understand is—why would he do that? Why would he go after Viv and my son and not me? Why come back after all these years? For revenge? For payback?But why now? And why Vivienne? Doesn’t he know we’re divorced? And who the hell told him Axel is my son? Because if that’s not the case—if he d

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

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’
