AFTER MY EX-WIFE GUILT AND REGRET
Camilla.The dull aching in my leg persisted, serving as a constant reminder of what had transpired the day before. It was like a shadow I couldn't shake. I closed my eyes and remembered the first time the pain struck me—the cold, hard floor beneath me and the sharp edge of the wall that seemed to appear out of nowhere. The force of Alessia's shove knocked me into the wall, banging my leg against the corner. The pain shot through me like lightning, and I gasped for oxygen. My vision became blurry, and I felt like the world was spinning. I couldn't even yell because the shock was so intense.Alessia's voice echoed in my mind. "This is just the beginning," she said, her words piercing deeper than the ache in my leg. She went away without a second glance, leaving me helpless on the floor. I attempted to move, but every part of my body screamed in protest. The injury was more than physical; it was as if Alessia had taken away my remaining strength.Today, I sat on the couch with the weigh

Ava's laughing wavered for a second, and her bright eyes flickered up to him. "You're leaving already, Big Uncle?" she asked, her voice little and disappointed. Her fingers fiddled with the edge of her school bag as she stared up at him, her initial delight fading.Alex crouched to her level, a warm smile spreading over his lips. "I have to, sweetheart," he replied gently, moving a stray hair away from her cheek. "But I'll see you soon, okay? "Be a good girl for mommy."Ava's pout turned to a bashful smile as she nodded. "Okay. Goodbye, Big Uncle. Her voice was hesitant, but she flung her arms around his neck in a short hug before backing away. "Bye, Ava," Alex said warmly, ruffling her hair. "Go on now. Go get changed."Ava laughed, her prior disappointment forgotten as she danced toward her room, her light feet padding against the floor. "Okay, Big Uncle!" she said over her shoulder, her voice reverberating through the floor as she turned and entered her room.Alex straightened, hi

Alex I never expected Camilla to ask me that question or bring up the matter now.Camilla's words cut through me like jagged glass. My mind immediately returned to yesterday, looking for evidence that I had changed. I was in the hospital yesterday when she had the accident. I paced the cool hallway, my hands quivering, waiting for news. My heart had been in my throat the entire time, and when the doctor finally said she was fine, I felt a surge of relief that nearly brought me to my knees. Afterward, I spent hours with Ava, who was still shocked by the whole incident. I listened as she talked about her school drawings, and her voice softened when she showed me her works. When she asked me to sing her favorite song, I hesitated—singing had never been my strong suit—but the way her face lit up when I joined her made every off note worthwhile. For once, I thought I was doing something right. And today, I made time to drive her to school, changing my schedule to accommodate her da

Camilla Six days ago, the accident left a throbbing pain in my leg, making each step quite uneasy. I was worried that it might take weeks to heal, but the nurses had told me that it was just a bruise and nothing severe. Even at that, walking was not easy. The medications worked like magic, reducing the pain fast. The most difficult part was attempting to rest. I wanted to get up and prepare for the launch, but the nurses advised me to rest, so I had to accept their advice. I spent every day in my room thinking. Every day, I sat on the couch with my laptop, documents on the table, and worked on marketing strategies while emailing my colleagues. Every aspect of the product's launch must be exceptional. This was more than just introducing a new product; it was about Ava LTD's future. This event has the potential to result in partnerships and opportunities that I had not previously considered. I also wanted to prove something to myself and everyone who had doubted me, especially A

CamillaI held the paper in my hands, my fingers quivering slightly. It was more than simply a piece of paper; it was a doorway. But, to what? My heart hammered as I looked at Alex, who stood nearby, his face serene but waiting. I slowly read the letter again. *"Dear Camilla, We are excited to invite Ava LTD to explore a strategic partnership opportunity with NovaTech Inc…"* I blinked and repeated the words, my breath caught in my throat. Ava LTD—*my company*—had received a proposal from one of the country's most significant firms. It seemed weird. I'd been dreaming about this kind of breakthrough for years, and suddenly it was right in front of me. I looked up at Alex, my voice shaking. "This is incredible." "I don't know what to say." "You don't have to say anything," he said, his voice soft and calm. "You've earned it, Camilla. NovaTech's CEO is a close friend of mine, and when he saw the strategies you developed for today's launch, he was very impressed. I might have urged

Alex The crowd erupted in cheers as Camilla took the platform, commanding attention with such ease that everyone was taken by surprise. Her voice was solid, her motions confident, and her interaction with the crowd was nothing short of captivating. She had the kind of presence that could persuade even the most dubious individual to believe what she said. As I observed her, a whirlwind of emotions raged within me. Camilla wasn't just introducing a product; she was demonstrating her intellect. The laughter she elicited with her opening introduction rippled around the room, lightening the formality of the occasion. But it wasn't just her charm that drew the audience in. It was the way she described the goods, her words full of passion and purpose. I admired her for more than just her skills. My gaze concentrated on her had a highly personal quality to it. That grin, the way she motioned while speaking reminded me of the woman I had lost years ago as a result of my reckless desires.

CamillaThe faint buzz of jet engines filled the air as I sat across from Alex, the luxurious cabin serving as both a haven and a trap. The leather seat felt cold beneath me, but it wasn't any of that that scared me—it was him. Alex sat there, easily collected, dressed in a crisp white T-shirt and pants that appeared to have been fashioned particularly for him. His sharp jawline, well combed hair were annoyingly beautiful, and the way his grey eyes danced between his iPad and quick looks at me just added to my nervousness. I pretended to read the book in my hands, but the words were fuzzy and unclear. This wasn't my normal business trip; it was a deal that could change everything. One of the wealthiest female billionaires in the country was interested in Millach LTD's new product. Her invitation was more than just lovely; it was a lifeline for Alex's business, a chance to launch his product to a global audience. But why did I need to be here? I had asked myself that question count

Alex I sat across from Camilla and stealing glances at her while she slept. Her head was slightly cocked to the side, and her dark hair framed her lovely face. Even while sleeping, she looked beautiful—calm and peaceful, as if she was free of all worries. I couldn't help but observe her. It was an opportunity to see her this way, without her guard up. She was always so collected and determined to keep things between us totally professional. But, in this calm moment, she appeared different—vulnerable but unreachable. The jet was carrying us to Washington, where we had been invited by Isabella Montgomery, the founder of Montgomery Enterprises. Isabella was more than simply a billionaire; she was one of the country's most powerful women. She approached me at my product launch, expressing her desire to work with me. She sent me an invitation less than two days later, insisting that we come right away. This opportunity had the potential to completely transform my company, and I wasn

AFTER MY EX-WIFE A NEW BEGINNING
Alex The previous two days had been a maelstrom of emotions. Sitting in my study, I let out a long sigh and rubbed my temples. The weight of tiredness pulled on my shoulders, yet sleep had proven difficult. My mind refused to relax. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ava—her small, delicate body lying on that hospital bed, bandages around her head, her pale face devoid of its typical brightness. I clinched my fist. The kidnapping, The drive to catch the kidnappers, The accident, The moment I saw her unconscious and drenched in blood. Every second of it replayed in my mind like a nightmare I couldn't shake. I had never experienced fear like this before. The thought of losing her had almost crushed me. The worst part? I had no claim to her. There is no right to make decisions. I was simply a man who had stepped in when she needed assistance. But why did it seem like more than that? Why did saving her make me feel like I was saving a part of myself? I leaned back in my
AFTER MY EX-WIFE A LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT
Camilla The steady beep, beep, beep of the heart monitor was the first thing I heard when I entered the hospital room. The sterile aroma of antiseptic permeated the air, mixed with a slight touch of something metallic—blood, perhaps, or the aftermath of trauma. My heart beat in time with the beeping machine, each sound a heartbreaking reminder of how close I had gotten to losing Ava. I gulped hard and forced myself to walk forward. Then I spotted her. Ava reclined on the hospital bed, her small frame almost swallowed by the white covers. Her head was wrapped in heavy bandages, and an IV line was attached to her small hand. The sight of her like this—so frail and still—took my breath away. My knees weakened, so I clutched the doorframe for support. It was my fault. If I had been more diligent and protected her properly... Perhaps she wouldn't be lying here, hooked up to machines and battling to recuperate. I let out a faint whimper before I could stop it. "Ava…" Her
AFTER MY EX-WIFE A DESPERATE WAIT
CAMILLA A slight buzz of voices trickled through the hospital's closed doors. My eyes felt heavy, and my body was tight from resting in one position for too long. I squinted at the dimly lit room, with early morning light filtering in through the blinds. I must have fallen asleep just before daybreak. A throbbing ache throbbed at the base of my skull, reminding me of the sleepless night I'd spent tossing and turning, haunted by Ava's face. Pale. Frightened. Helpless. The memories hit me all over again, jolting me completely awake. Ava. I turned my head, expecting to see Alex sitting in the chair by the window, like he had last night. But the chair was empty. Panic clutched at my chest. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, forcing myself up despite the tiredness that weighed me down. My bare feet contacted the icy floor, causing a shiver up my spine. I reached for the lightweight cardigan I'd droped over the chair and slipped it on as I exited the room. The hallway
AFTER MY EX-WIFE THE ACCIDENT
AlexThe air was thick with anxiety as our car sped down the deserted road, tires buzzing against the asphalt. The black SUV ahead of us faded into the distance, its taillights blazing red and flickering like a heartbeat. We were getting near, but not fast enough.We'd been after them for over half an hour. The police used a GPS tracker concealed on their car. We knew they were going south on Route 19, but every second felt like we were losing them. My stomach twisted from anger and anxiety. I should have acted faster. I should've been more prepared. If I had, Ava might not be in danger now. But now all I could do was track them down. As the SUV's red taillights flashed in front of us, I grasped the armrest tightly. My heart was rushing and thumping inside my chest. Every second seemed like an eternity. I couldn't let them leave with her. We needed to get her back. "Keep on them!" The officer next to me ordered, his voice tense with urgency.The officers in the car with me were doin
AFTER MY EX-WIFE ALESSIA STRIKES AGAIN
Camilla The front door was slightly opened. As I pushed, the wood creaked, ringing through the silence like a warning. A moist chill crept across my skin. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of mold, dust, and something more. Something metallic. The room was consumed by darkness, but a dim light flickered in the distance. It hummed weakly, throwing long, fragmented shadows on the walls. My breath came out in short, uneven gasps. Every instinct screamed at me to turn back, run, and seek help. But I couldn't, I kept moving. Because somewhere in the darkness, Ava was waiting for me.Then, from the darkness, came a voice. "Hands up." I froze. The voice was calm. Too calm. Possessing such control implied power.Footsteps were the next sound, which was slow and measured. Heavy. Deliberate. A rough, hard hand clamped around my wrist. Not cruel, but uncompromising. A silent warning. "Move." The grasp tightened slightly, guiding me forwards. My legs felt weak, but I
AFTER MY EX-WIFE THE ENEMY REVEALED
CamillaThe jet's hum filled the silence around me, but inside my head, all I could hear was noise—loud, excruciating noise. Ava. Her name rang repeatedly, pressing my heart even more. I gazed at my phone screen, my fingers quivering as I dialed Marta's number again. Still turned off.I tried again. Still nothing.Tears blurred my vision. My daughter was out there, in the hands of a dangerous person. Was she crying? Was she afraid? Did they injure her? My gut wrenched in misery at the thought. Across from me, Alex stood with his phone to his ear. His voice was steady and controlled, in stark contrast to the conflict inside me. "Alexander Brookes, CEO of Millach LTD," he said while listening to the other end of the line. His expression was unreadable, but I could sense the strain in his jaw. "There was an emergency that we needed to attend to. We already left. Tell Ms. Montgomery for a reschedule of this meeting if feasible." There was a delay before he said, "Alright, sorr
AFTER MY EX-WIFE A MOTHER'S WORST NIGHTMARE
CamillaMy heart raced as I entered the room, my trembling fingers on the door just as it closed behind me. The silence around me was intense, broken only by my choppy breaths. I leaned my back against the door, feeling its coolness, but it didn't help quiet the turmoil inside me. Alex. The memory of his touch and the feel of his lips stayed with me like a haunting presence I couldn't escape. My resolve and the walls I carefully built around myself fell apart whenever he got near. I tried really hard to keep him away to protect myself and my daughter, but when he looked at me with those pleading eyes, I lost my strength. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to manage my feelings. It wasn't just about him; it was how he made me feel and how he could always remove the walls I felt I needed. The best thing I could do was put some space between us, lock the door, and guarantee that the mistakes of the previous night were never repeated. Sliding down to the floor, I sat with my knees t
AFTER MY EX-WIFE LOST OPPORTUNITIES
AlexShe pulled the room door open without speaking, allowing it to swing close behind her. I caught it before it closed fully and followed her inside. Camilla walked straight to the couch and dropped herself upon its edge with a stiff motion. She crossed her arms again, her fingers grabbing her sleeves as if bracing for a blow. Her eyes was concentrated on a faraway location, her expression opaque yet heavy with thought. I paused near the door and watched her. She didn't recognize my presence as she moved her head slightly away. I took a breath and stepped closer, each movement slow and deliberate. The cool floor muffled my footfall, but I could feel the space between us. When I got close enough to talk, I stopped and kept my voice low. "Camilla, please listen to me." Her body tensed slightly, but she did not glance at me. The silence extended, dense with tension, and her only reaction was a tiny twitch of her fingers against her arm. "There's nothing to talk about," she st
AFTER MY EX-WIFE ECHOES OF DOUBT
ALEX The warm rays of sunlight crept through the blinds and woke me up. I stirred, slipping into the mattress, the warmth strange but weirdly soothing. As I opened my eyes, images of the previous night flooded back to me. I was on Camilla's bed. I sat up gently, putting my elbows on my knees and running a hand through my hair. A faint smile pulled on the corner of my lips. For the first time in years, the nothingness inside of me didn't feel so overwhelming. Being with her filled a gap I had no idea was so profound. As I shifted, the covers slipped down, showing my bare chest and the empty space next me. My heart dropped slightly when I realized Camilla was not there. I looked around the room, my eyes scanning every angle. Her scent lingered slightly in the air, but she was nowhere to be found. I pushed the blankets away from my legs and found my clothes lying on the floor. I picked them up one by one, the room's silence disturbed only by the subtle rustle of cloth as I dressed
