AFTER MY EX-WIFE I LOVE YOU
Camilla The lightness from lunch faded as we sat in quiet, and I braced myself for whatever he was about to say.David joined me at the table after a while, moving into the chair across from me. Our conversation started — Ava’s recent connection to Alex, and what I planned to do about that."Well, I couldn’t take that away from her. I would allow them to talk. Let her have that friendship.But telling him the truth? No.He wasn’t there when I needed him most. He picked Alessia. He walked away."He looked at me, as if thinking before he added."That's not a bad decision actually."Then, naturally, it moved to his work.“Things are different here in Los Angeles,” he said. “Back in San Francisco, the hospital wasn’t as fast-paced and busy. Here, it’s constant. New cases every hour.”I nodded, curious. “Do you prefer it?”“I do. It’s difficult, but it feels rewarding,” he said. His eyes softened. “Though, I miss San Francisco sometimes. Being here alone… it makes me respect moments like

Chapter 42 CAMILLAIt was Monday again. Another week of work for me and another week of school for Ava. I hadn't had time to digest the events of the weekend, but the new week had begun, and life continued on whether I was ready or not.Ava was dressed and ready before I could finish my coffee, with her small food basket in her hand. She stood near the dining, her face beaming with eagerness, waiting for me to hurry up. I looked at myself in the mirror again, attempting to smooth down the hair that refused to cooperate, but the tension of everything seemed to weigh on me."Let's go, Ava," I murmured, trying a grin as I grabbed my luggage and extended my hand. She skipped toward me, her delicate fingers curling around mine, and we walked to the door."Bye..." Marta said, standing by the door and waving to us. Ava reciprocated the wave, but my thoughts were somewhere else. There was so much to deal with, and Marta's simple deed felt like a reminder of the world I was trying to keep Ava
Last Updated : 2025-01-09AFTER MY EX-WIFE FACING HIM AGAIN
Camilla Alex walked in, his huge figure filling the space, and I couldn't breathe for a moment. He's always had that impact on me. The air appeared to thicken, as if I were drowning in something I couldn't control. He hadn't even spoken yet, but everything around me seemed to be swaying and tilting. This was the man who had previously been my entire world, and there was still a pull, an unmistakable attraction between us. I clenched my fists on the edge of my desk, attempting to calm myself, but my heart was racing, betraying me."Hi, Camilla," his voice was low and steady, but there was something beneath it—something unspoken. My name on his lips felt like a light blow, a breeze that brought back memories I didn't want to recall. The warmth that crept through me was not pleasant, but it was undeniable. My heart pounded against my chest as I barely spoke out, "Hi, Alex."I could not look at him. If I did, I would probably fall apart. My hands shook as I tightened my grasp on the des
Last Updated : 2025-01-09AFTER MY EX-WIFE I NEED TO FIND ANSWERS
AlexCamilla's words had left me uncomfortable, beating in my head like a continuous drumbeat. She looked at me with such coldness. "I've already told you that I've forgiven you," she added, her tone firm but distant. Those particular remarks ached more than I wanted to acknowledge. She was sure that her world no longer included me. The part that truly pained me most was how quickly she ignored my attempts to explain myself.I sensed the force in the air. Camilla and I both refused to back down. She appeared to believe that our relationship was now solely about the business arrangement. As if nothing had happened between us before. But it wasn't. Not anymore. There was so much more she wasn't telling me, and I wanted answers.The way she dismissed me every time I tried to talk to her pains me. It's time for me to take the daring step of trying to find out the truth for myself rather than simply apologizing, which yields no results.I had to know if she had remarried since leaving me.

AlexI grabbed my key, and we left my office. The midday air was pleasant, but it did little to relieve the heavy weight in my chest. Julie sat next to me.The silence between Julie and me felt oppressive. I wasn't sure if it was a relief or a reminder of how far I'd dropped. Camilla did not want to have anything to do with me, aside from the partnership. I was scared to force her, afraid of what she might do if I pushed her further than she wanted. So I had to depend on someone outside of our previous lives to provide the answers that were sliding away from me. It seemed like the only way to get near to the truth."You'll take the left," Julie murmured quietly as we reached the junction.I nodded, my eyes fixed on the road as I turned left. We drove for a few minutes before she told me to halt."I will go ahead and speak with her. "I need to see if she's willing to come," Julie remarked, her voice tinged with dread.I drove a little farther down the road and parked on the side. I sat

CamillaAlex left me five years ago. It's been five long years since he divorced me, leaving me to raise Ava by myself. I thought I had forgotten how I felt about him. I thought the pain was gone and that I had moved on.But my chest gets tight every time I see him. My carefully built walls are shaking. His presence makes me feel things I don't want to feel, feelings I've worked hard to keep from coming out.However, he was back, trying to say sorry for betraying me in a way I will never forget. He threw me away like trash for another woman. He now comes back with a rehearsed apology and wants me to forgive him?No. It won’t work with me.After picking Ava up from school, I forced a smile as she climbed into the car, her small backpack swinging behind her. I couldn’t let her see the heaviness in my chest — the weight of my earlier encounter with Alex in my office. His words still echoed in my mind, but I pushed them away.“How was school, sweetheart?” I asked, my voice steady, my grip
Last Updated : 2025-01-10AFTER MY EX-WIFE CROSSING PATHS AGAIN
AlexWhen I came home, I was tired. After a long day, I fell on the couch, needing to rest. Later that evening, I went into the kitchen, only to find that nothing was left. Not that I cared before, because Alessia always liked eating out. But, this evening, I had no choice. I needed to buy some groceries. I took my tablet and made a list of what I needed. Perhaps staying busy will help me drive these thoughts away. But as I walked to the grocery, the pressure in my chest continued, a continual reminder of what I'd lost — and so wanted to reclaim.I couldn't shake the weight on my chest. It wasn't only about the provisions. The silence at home made it tough to avoid my thoughts. I had once wanted peace, a life free of pain and unnecessary drama. But today, sitting alone in my house, I noticed that silence without love seemed empty. The thoughts of what I had lost refused to leave me. Camilla was evident in every area of the house. Her laughter, the way she used to hum while cooki

Camilla I stood at the checkout desk examining the things in my cart. My thoughts wandered as I waited for Ava. I could hear her laughing from a distance. It was a soft and free sound that always made my heart melt.When I saw them coming, my chest clenched. When our eyes met, Ava's bright smile faded, and her laughing trailed off into quiet. Her steps slowed, and she clutched more tightly to Alex's hand.She must have remembered the restaurant incident from a few days ago, the brawl that left her confused and terrified. I hated that she was caught in the middle of everything.And then there was Alex, his look steady but guarded. He was studying me attentively, unsure how I would respond. There was tension between us, and the weight of our unresolved past hung heavily in the air.I took a deep breath and reminded myself of the choice I had taken. I would not take Ava's happiness away. If spending time with Alex made her happy, I wouldn't stand in her way — but that didn't mean I was

AFTER MY EX-WIFE A SILENT APOLOGY
AlexAs I got out of the elevator, I heard a small, painful moan. My heart skipped a beat, and I swiftly turned to face the voice. Camilla lay on the ground, holding her leg. Her face was pale, and her hair was stuck to her forehead from sweat. She appeared delicate, like a bird with a broken wing."Camilla!" I called, my voice stiff with fear. My feet reacted before I could think, and I was at her side in seconds.Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed movement. Alessia walked briskly toward the exit, her heels clicking on the floor in a sharp, determined pattern. She did not look back once. Her stance was tight, as if she was trying too hard to be calm. My stomach churned. *What had she done to Camilla?* Alessia had always been harsh, but this felt different—calculated. My fists tightened as rage rose up inside me.I shook my head, pushing myself to look at Camilla. Her breathing was shallow, and her lips quiver as if she was trying to hold back tears. Her hands gripped her calf fie
AFTER MY EX-WIFE ALESSIA'S REVENGE
CAMILLA Her voice swelled and echoed down the silent hall. My heart raced in my ears, and my hands trembled. I jerked my arm free and stepped back, angry at her."Let me make this clear, Alessia," I murmured, my voice wavering slightly. "Alex makes his own choices. "If he left you, it was because of you, not me."Her face twisted with rage, and her lips curled into a scowl. Her contemptuous gaze swept across me. Then, suddenly, she shoved me hard.The push caused me to stumble. My heel got snagged on the smooth floor, and I couldn't restore my balance. My leg smashed with the sharp edge of the wall, causing pain. I gasped and collapsed to the ground, gripping my hurting leg.Tears distorted my vision, and I strained to breathe. The pain was intense, acute, and relentless, affecting my entire body.Alessia stood above me, her expression frigid and immovable. "This is just the beginning," she said, her voice cold.Her heels clicked against the floor as she stomped away, the noise becom
AFTER MY EX-WIFE THE BATTLE BEGINS
CAMILLAThe applause filled the room like a warm wave, wrapping around me and reminding me why I had given so much of myself to Ava LTD. Every cheer and smile from the investors felt like a pat on the back, encouraging me that my struggles had been worthwhile. Ava LTD was more than just a business; it was my lifeblood, the one thing I could rely on after Alex crushed me.I looked out into the hallway and saw faces filled with enthusiasm and acceptance. Their admiring comments and the way they leaned in while I talked warmed my heart. They believed in me and what I had built, and that belief inspired me to dream larger. This was my chance to prove that I was no longer the broken woman Alex had left behind.Julie leaned over, her eyes blazing. "They love it," she said quietly. "They really do."I grinned and nodded. "They should," I responded. "We've poured everything into this."As the meeting came to a close, I started taking notes. But then I noticed a towering, elegant figure that s
AFTER MY EX-WIFE THE RETURN OF ALESSIA
ALEX Camilla stepped in with her head held high and her presence imposing. She donned a navy-blue dress that matched her beautiful assurance. Julie walked behind her, carrying some documents, but Camilla remained focused on the task at hand. Her professionalism served as a screen against the mayhem that lingered around her. I couldn't take my gaze away. She noticed me gazing and softened her eyes briefly before turning away. My heart wrenched cruelly. ______We took our seats on the elevated platform. The hall was packed with expectant faces, including investors and staff. Camilla and I sat side by side. The Q&A session began, and the room fell silent. Investors, journalists, and company executives sat forward in their seats, eager to examine every word. The first query came from a man dressed in a gray suit, his voice steady and professional. "How do you plan to ensure this product stands out in such a competitive market?" Camilla leaned closer, her expression confident yet
AFTER MY EX-WIFE I'VE LOST HER AGAIN
ALEXThe silence in the car felt oppressive as I drove back from Camilla's apartment. Her words echoed in my thoughts, each phrase like a fresh wound. "Alex, I don't want you close anymore. Not outside our partnership." Her voice, steady but tinged with finality, played repeatedly. I held the steering wheel tighter, the ache in my chest acute and constant. She had shut the door to her heart, locking me out. And this time, there was no uncertainty or crack in her determination. I was left standing outside, hoping for a miracle that may never arrive. My thoughts moved to Ava. Her brilliant smile appeared in my imagination, a spark of brightness in the dark. I remembered how happy she was when she saw me at her school today. Her smile made me pleased, and I felt I was coming near to fulfilling my dream, but it came crashing down at my feet.Yesterday at the supermarket, she spotted me from the corner of the aisle and when I approached her, her eyes beamed with excitement as she scr
AFTER MY EX-WIFE WHERE'S MY DADDY?
Camilla. As soon as I opened the door, Ava jumped off the couch, her bag still hanging on one shoulder and her drawing book held securely in one hand. Her big, expectant eyes looked beyond me, filled with hope. "Where is Big Uncle?" she said, her voice brimming with innocence and delight. I froze for a moment, my stomach wrenching. I expected this question, but that didn't make it any simpler to answer. "Honey," I murmured, attempting a grin that did not reach my eyes; "he had an important meeting to attend. He promised to return another day. The words tasted harsh and heavy as they left my tongue. I could feel the tightness rising in my chest, my fingers clenching into fists at my sides. Alex had no plans to return—not if I had anything to say about it. I couldn't dispute that Ava adored him. It terrified me how quickly she'd become attached. Her sparkling eyes faded, and her little shoulders sagged under the weight of disappointment. She fiddled with a corner of her sketc
AFTER MY EX-WIFE MOVING FORWARD
CAMILLA The stillness between us was oppressive and crushing. I could feel his eyes penetrating through me, as if he was trying to read my thoughts and figure out how I felt. My heart thudded terribly in my chest, and I struggled to keep my expression neutral. But then he spoke, his tone gentle and almost hesitant."I'm sorry."Those two words struck me harder than intended. I blinked in amazement at the unexpected apologies. Alex never apologised. Not back then. Not after he left me devastated and damaged. Especially not when I asked him to stay. His coldness had always been impenetrable, and hearing him apologize made my chest constrict with mixed emotions.For a brief moment, I sensed a spark of something—hope? But I pushed it down immediately. I couldn't let myself believe it. Not again. His words had previously caused me to believe in a love that never existed. Was this just another one of his schemes?I examined him closely, noting how his jaw clinched slightly and his hands fi
AFTER MY EX-WIFE THE BATTLE OF BOUNDARIES
CamillaAva's enthusiasm twisted my heart. She took Alex's hand as they walked to his car, her little feet leaping with each step and her face beaming with joy. I could not bring myself to stop her. I wanted to, I truly did. I wanted to call her back and remind her of the boundaries I had set. But, how could I? How could I ruin that joy, that innocence, simply because I was afraid?She was so carefree and full of faith. And there it was: the terrible sting of jealousy. She was more than just thrilled to see him. She was thrilled to be with him. How readily she welcomed him into her world, without hesitation, and without the barriers I had built up over the years. It was as if he had never hurt me, as if his absence for all these years had no significance.My hands tightened over the steering wheel, my fingers throbbing as I struggled to keep my emotions under control. This wasn't only about Ava's happiness. No, it was about him. It always returned to him. Alex. The man who crushed my
AFTER MY EX-WIFE AN UNWELCOME GUEST
ALEX The bell rang, and within minutes, children flooded out of the school, filling the air with laughter and conversation. My heart beat as I scanned the crowd. Then I saw Ava. Her bag thumped against her little back, and she held her food flask in one hand. Her neat locks flowed with each stride, but something about her appeared different. She appeared more collected and less fun than normal, almost as if she were carrying more than a child her age should."My princess," I said, straining my voice to seem light.Ava's eyes brightened as she spotted me. "Big uncle!" she said, racing towards me. Her laughter filled the air as I bent down to catch her and take her into my arms."You fulfilled your promise!" She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck."Of course," I replied, smiling as I held her close. "You know you are my princess. I always keep my promises."She nodded fervently, her enthusiasm contagious. "School was fine today. "I received a star for my drawing!" she said, sh
