***Vivienne's POV***‎‎Today, Alexander didn’t leave for the office until he made sure I finished my breakfast.‎‎I was sitting up in bed, leaning against the headboard, reading a book.‎He had bought so many books on pregnancy and I couldn't miss out so I got a few about parenting for myself.‎‎I had always been too afraid to look into these topics before, worried Alexander might find out about the pregnancy. But now that I finally had the time, I was diving in.‎‎Suddenly, my phone screen lit up with an unfamiliar string of numbers. My new phone didn’t have the old contact list, so I slugged before I answered the call. “Hello?”‎‎A woman’s voice came through immediately, dripping with sarcasm.‎‎“Vivienne, feeling proud of yourself, huh? Alexander’s finally publicly acknowledged you, and now you’re pregnant with his child. You must think you’re the luckiest woman alive, don’t you?” the voice said and I froze. ‎‎It was Olivia Reynolds on the other end of the line.‎‎Alexande

***Alexander's POV***‎‎The moment John’s words left his lips, a thick silence filled the room. The air became charged with tension.‎‎The board members exchanged glances. Some whispered to one another, others remained detached, while a few shared significant looks.‎‎John Smith took a moment to assess the room before speaking again. “Of course, I’m not denying that Alexander has made substantial contributions to the company. But that doesn’t absolve him of his negligence. ‎‎A general might have won countless battles, but when he suffers a defeat that causes heavy losses, he has to shoulder the responsibility. And let’s not forget that many of these problems stem from Alexander’s personal life. ‎‎We all know that as CEO, every action and word he says reflects on the company. Yet, he’s shown little regard for the organization’s interests. What does that tell us and our shareholders?”‎‎John’s words stirred murmurs around the room. He let the silence linger before continuing, “W

***Vivienne's POV Cont***‎‎Alexander’s gaze was fixed on me, his expression intense.‎‎He looked so pitiful, so vulnerable, like an abandoned puppy.‎‎A faint shiver ran through me, almost making me feel sorry for him.‎‎But it was he who had initiated the divorce.‎The woman he loved wasn’t me.‎It was Isabella.‎‎I didn’t want to keep dragging this out for the sake of the child, I lowered my gaze.‎‎“This has nothing to do with you being the CEO of Vanguard GE.” I scoffed. ‎‎“I have nothing left now but you and the child.” He said. ‎Suddenly, Alexander pulled me into an embrace, pressing his head to my stomach. His face softened in a way I had never seen before.‎‎This was the kind of scene I had longed for countless times in the past. ‎‎I would’ve given anything for this moment. But now, I felt nothing. My heart was as still as water.‎‎Alexander didn’t love me, and I wasn’t foolish enough to believe he ever would again.‎‎“When the baby is born, you’re welcome to vi

***Alexander's POV***‎‎"I'm on my way" My heart skipped a beat, and I responded immediately.. ‎‎"Don’t tell Vivienne just yet." I said. ‎‎"I understand." the voice said before hanging up the call. ‎‎Before I left, I went back to the master bedroom. "Vivienne, there’s some urgent work at the office that I need to handle. I’m heading there now."‎‎"Okay, Maggie is here to keep me company, she replied. ‎‎."When I arrived at the hospital, the emergency room door was still closed tight.‎‎Evelyn and the nanny, Amelia, were sitting in the waiting area.‎‎"Nana" I rushed over to Evelyn, my voice laced with worry. "What happened? How did Grandpa…?"‎‎Evelyn sighed, her face tense, but she remained silent.‎‎Amelia, however, turned to me and said, "Miss Isabella came by this morning. I’m not sure what she said to Chairman Ashford, but… after that, he found out about the situation with the company, and then…"‎‎I pursed my lips, a flash of anger in my eyes. I took a deep breath

***Vivienne's POV Cont***‎‎My heart skipped a beat, then began pounding wildly, uncontrollably.‎‎It had to be a prank, right?‎But just then, notifications from every major platform started flooding in. No matter which one I clicked on, the headlines were the same.‎‎The news about Alexander… he was still wearing the same clothes he’d left in this morning.‎‎So, he really did go to the hospital. Grandpa… Grandpa is really gone? I panicked. ‎‎The grandfather who’d always spoiled me... he’s gone forever. ‎‎The news hit me like a punch to the stomach. My heart felt like it was being crushed, suffocating, and my nose began to tingle. ‎‎In an instant, my eyes welled up, tears blurring my vision.‎‎Just a few days ago, Grandpa was perfectly fine when he came to see me. ‎‎Just a few days ago, he promised he’d wait to meet my child, that he’d hold the baby in his arms, Why… Why so suddenly?‎‎No… This can’t be real. Grandpa couldn’t have left before meeting my baby. ‎‎I snif

‎Mr Ceo: Let Me Go‎‎Chapter 138‎‎(Unedited)‎‎Copyright ©️Tito's Library 2026‎‎🥀Vivienne's POV Cont🥀 ‎‎My eyes began to redden again. “I never blamed Grandpa…”‎‎I knew Grandpa had his own struggles.‎When Alexander first became the CEO of the group, he was young, and many members of the board weren’t convinced. There was a lot of friction.‎Some board members would often go to Grandpa to complain.‎‎After Grandpa intervened the first time, Alexander faced continuous setbacks. ‎‎Seeing that complaining to the Chairman had an effect, the board members started going to Grandpa more and more frequently.‎‎Eventually, Grandpa stopped getting involved.‎‎That was when he realized Alexander was the CEO of the group, not just his grandson, who could be easily lectured.‎‎For Alexander to solidify his position in the company, he needed to establish authority. Grandpa needed to back him up, to stand firm. If he gave in to the board members’ complaints, Alexander’s position wo

***Vivienne's POV***‎‎“Vivienne, let’s go back,” Maggie called out as she appeared from the room, holding a blanket and clothes. But Olivia had already left.‎‎Olivia had seen the agony on my face. With a sense of triumph, having achieved her goal, she left, her expression smug with satisfaction.‎‎I, on the other hand, stayed rooted where I was, fists clenched, lost in a heavy silence.‎‎Maggie, noticing my lack of response, called my name again.“Mrs Ashford?”‎‎I snapped out of my daze, exhaling deeply, and nodded. “Mm, let’s go back.”‎‎Maggie glanced at me, sensing something was off. It was as though I had changed somehow.‎‎Back at the villa, Maggie tried to help me upstairs, but I declined. Instead, I sank into the sofa and said, “I’ll wait for Alexander to return.”‎‎Maggie nodded, sensing there was nothing more to say, and went on with her tasks.‎‎Around three in the afternoon, a black car pulled into the villa grounds.‎‎Soon I heard the car switched off and he en

***Vivienne's POV***‎‎No one responded.‎The pain in my abdomen got worse, It was sharp and hard to bear. Cold sweat covered my forehead. My body shook, and my voice was weak.‎“Alexander! Open the door, My stomach hurts… please… help me… save the baby…”‎‎I tried to reach for my phone, but then I remembered, it was downstairs.‎‎“Open the door…"‎‎"Someone… help me…" ‎‎I fell to the floor, biting my lip, curling my body, holding my stomach tightly. My body was stiff from the pain.‎‎It felt like something was pulling hard inside me, dragging everything down.‎‎“Open the door…”‎‎My voice became weaker, I had no strength left. Then I felt something warm between my legs.‎‎Fear filled my chest.‎‎“Alexander… open the door…” I whispered, my tears falling freely. ‎‎My baby…‎‎I held my stomach tighter.‎“Please… don’t leave me…”‎My vision started to blur.‎‎***Alexander’s POV***‎‎“Vivienne, are you okay now? I asked outside the bedroom.‎But there was answer.‎‎Was s

***Vivienne's POV Cont***‎‎Alexander did not react to my words and continued as if he hadn’t heard me, his voice low and controlled. “I’ll have Maggie bring you something to eat.” he said. ‎‎I kept my eyes closed, my face turned slightly away from him, and i spoke in a steady, cold tone. “I told you to leave. Didn’t you hear me?”‎‎There was a brief pause, the air between us tightening, before I added, “If you cared even a little, you wouldn’t have locked me in the room.”‎‎The room fell silent, I could feel him standing there without moving, as if my words had stopped him in place. ‎‎After a long moment, he finally spoke again, his voice quieter than before. “Fine. I’ll go. When Maggie comes, eat something… alright?”‎‎His footsteps were slow as he walked out, and a moment later, I heard the faint sound of him sitting down just outside the door. Even without seeing him, I could feel the tension he carried.‎‎When the door closed, I let out a breath I didn’t realize I had be

***Alexander’s POV***‎‎I stood by the door and watched Vivienne slowly push herself up against the headboard, her movements careful and weak as she reached for the bowl of fish soup on the bedside table. ‎‎She held the spoon with unsteady fingers and brought it to her lips, taking small, slow bites as if each movement took effort.‎‎A quiet sense of relief settled in my chest when I saw her eating, but it didn’t stay for long. Something else followed right after, heavy and unfamiliar, pressing down on me.‎‎Julian had only said a few words, yet she listened to him.‎She listened... Did she love him that much? ‎‎Before I could think further, Vivienne suddenly put the bowl down with force, pushed the blanket aside, and got out of bed too quickly. She bent over the trash can beside the bed and started throwing up.‎‎I immediately pushed the door open and rushed to her side, placing my hand gently on her back as her body shook. The soup she had just eaten came up almost right awa
