Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 19 Meet Up
(Camillai’s POV)“Are you sure that's enough? We have more strawberry jams in the pantry. I can't eat them all. You can take them to your house,” Becky said while busily filling the paper bag with freshly picked fruits from her garden. “Wait, I’ll get more cherries.”She was about to go back inside the house when I hugged her tightly from the back. “I’ll miss you, Becky,” I sweetly said.I could smell the scent of strawberries that had lingered on her clothes."Promise me that you will come back. We still have a lot to do,” Becky said, her voice soft. "And remember, I'm always here for you."I nodded, my throat tight. "Thank you, Becky. I'll call you soon."Soon enough Kalel's car arrived at the facade of the house. I turned back to Kalel, who was loading the last of our belongings into the car. The jars of strawberry jam, their labels carefully crafted, sat nestled amongst the luggage. I took a last whiff of fresh air before finally approaching Kalel in his car."Ready?" Kalel asked,
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 20 Kiss of Revenge
(Camilla’s POV)After a number of attempts of calming down my breathing, I finally had the strength to go to my closet and find clothes that would be useful for my meet up with Lester.It was something I waited for for a very long time. I have waited for a time where I can finally confront him with everything.But I knew I have to be ready.I carefully adjusted the straps that's holding a secret weapon hiding beneath my dress. It was a small dagger, just in case Lester tries to do something funny.I won't hesitate to stab him with it.I was about to exit my apartment when a voice suddenly called me from behind.“Where are you going?” Kalel asked, his voice soft and concerned, pulled me into a halt.My grip on the door tightened. I almost forgot that he’s in my apartment. I wonder if he overheard my conversation with Lester in the call. There's no reason for him to ask where I’m headed then. He should know if he listened well.“I’m meeting Lester,” I replied frankly, making his brows f
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 21 Anger
(Camilla’s POV)I woke up to the sound of voices. I don't need to open my eyes to know that I am in the hospital. I could smell the familiar scent of antiseptic cleaning products. It’s also obvious that it was Butler Jin speaking.Other voices could be heard who seemed to be in the process of interviewing him, probably the cops.I only opened my eyes as soon as I heard the door shut. I’m not really in the mood to talk right now. I’m not in a good mood.The first thing I saw was the sterile white ceiling, and the fluorescent lights buzzing above. I groaned, my head throbbing in time with the insistent beeping of the heart monitor beside me. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my side, forcing me back down."Miss Camilla, you're awake!"Butler Jin's relieved voice washed over me, tinged with a hint of worry. I saw him at the corner of the hospital bed. He looked tired, looking like he aged twice out of worry overnight."What happened?" I croaked, my voice hoarse.I don't re
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 22 Agnes
(Camilla’s POV)“While you're still asking nicely? And who do you think you are to order me around? You think you’re so rich that you can tell me what to do and where I should be?!” she sarcastically scoffed, glancing at every single person in the gym like she’s asking them to sympathize with her.Kalel clenched his jaw, while I shook my head in exhaustion. If he thinks he’s going to win against Cindy, he’s wrong.This bitch will do anything to turn herself into a victim. She’s even going to use her gender as an excuse to win an argument against Kalel.“You’re technically causing a public scandal, and you just tried to assault Camilla. Would you like to join your husband in jail?” he sarcastically replied.Cindy’s face contorted in anger, even her thick makeup can no longer hide the crease on her forehead. Looks like someone's need some collagen. I chuckled at the thought of her looking physically old because of stress. She’s technically younger than me, but everyone will say otherwis
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 23 Drunk Kalel
(Camilla’s POV)Agnes stared at me in shocked, her hand trembling as she reached for the cool, white reception desk, her expression a mixture of shock and disbelief.It looks like she just had just finished her session with the aesthetician, her face still looking very red. It must feel tight on her face.And she couldn't even express how upset she is to see me, her ex-daughter-in-law. The woman who believed had, in her eyes, stolen her son’s heart and his fortune.She looked at me from head to toe, as of to double check on how different I am now.Well, she’s been spending a lot of time in Spain that she forgot the possibilities of the mother of the baby she killed, coming back for her vengeance. She must have thought I’m dead already.I am very different now. My skin, flawless and glowing, my hair cascading down my shoulders in a luxurious mane. I was a far cry from the "poor and ugly" woman Agnes had once judged me to be.She can't see a trace of that old Camilla anymore.“Agnes,” I
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 24 Hug
(Camilla’s POV)My cheeks heated at his unexpected response. I genuinely wasn't thinking about hitting his crotch or anything. My sole focus was on the fact that I need to get his keys so I can open his car.“Then… Then grab the keys in your pocket!” I stuttered, trying to maintain my cool.Now that he mentioned his crotch, I can't stop thinking about it. I wonder how long it would be in inches with that kind of enormous size.Kalel weakly inserted his hand in his pocket to search for his keys. I looked away when he lifted his head to look at me. I cleared my voice. “You're taking forever, Kalel!” I pretentiously complained, not wanting him to think that I’m enjoying the fact that I can freely check him out.I was never a big fan of hot guys. I used to think that all of them are hot on the outside and cold as dead on the inside.I have to say that Kalel changed that though.He’s always been so warm.“Here…” he said, handing me his keys.My brows furrowed slightly when I saw a cute pup
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 25 Right
(Camilla’s POV)The aroma of simmering chicken broth, laced with the sweetness of carrots and the earthy depth of celery, filled my kitchen. I stirred the pot with a practiced hand, my brows furrowed in concentration.I don't remember the last time I cooked something like this before. What I do remember is I used to cook this for Lester whenever he had a hangover.I scooped a bit on my spatula to taste the soup.“More salt…” I mumbled to myself.Looking at my kitchen, I just realized how incomplete my condiments are right now. I have an aesthetic set of kitchen organizers but there aren't even anything to use them for at all.I used to dream about a beautiful kitchen with everything for my family. I only lost my interest in cooking ever since my ex-husband betrayed me.Why am I thinking about him anyway? That asshole doesn't deserve a space in my mind.I carefully transferred the soup into the bowl.Kalel is still in my room, passed out. He hasn't woken up since I brought him here. Th
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 26 Steal Her
(Lester’s POV)“Agravante?” I lifted my head when I heard the jail officer called my name. My brows furrowed slightly when I saw him unlocking the bars. “You're free.”I stood up from being slumped on the dirty ground of the prison. I stayed the night here, and I’ve never felt so disgusted before. The man near my cell keeps on picking his nose. I tried bribing one of the officers yesterday, but he just took my money and left.Don't ask me why I tried to rape Camilla. I also don't know the answer to that.She's just… too attractive."Lester?"A voice, hesitant yet familiar, broke through the haze of my thoughts. I turned, my gaze settling on Cindy, her face etched with a mixture of relief and apprehension. She stood there, holding a worn leather bag, her eyes wide and searching."Cindy," I mumbled, my voice raspy, unused. I only spent one night in the prison, but I felt like a whole different person now.It really gave me a lot of time to reflect."I... I'm so glad you're out," Cindy s

(Camilla’s POV)“You first!” The sounds of kids playing in the playground filled the air.I have been here, waiting for them to arrive. I was earlier than I intended. I was also feeling a little nervous that's why.After everything, I found out about JM’s true identity, I have never really been able to talk to the child. It makes me guilty. I didn't want to affect him, but it was impossible to happen.I really thought that he was Kalel’s child with Jamaica.A part of me was happy that we could finally grant the child’s wish, which is to have a complete family, but I was sad at the same time. I love Kalel, and would have wanted him for myself.Completing JM’s dream was destroying mine.I focused my eyes at the fun view ahead. The playground is a symphony of squeals and laughter. Children chase each other, their shrieks echoing through the air.I sit on a bench, watching them play, my heart a little lighter than it was earlier.I'm supposed to meet JM here. Kalel told me the little boy
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 72 Meeting Her Again
(Camilla’s POV)“Come on, Camilla,” Kalel says, his voice laced with a playful urgency. “Becky misses you. You should see her face light up whenever she mentions your name.”I glance at him, his eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint. He’s leaning against the counter, a mug of steaming coffee in his hand, his gaze fixed on me.He knows I’m hesitant. He knows I’m still grappling with the guilt of leaving Becky behind, of not saying a proper goodbye.Whatever happened in the past really clicked a button in me that's why I wasn't really thinking right.It's also the reason why I wasn't able to see Becky before I left. I felt so guilty that I didn't even dare to call her after that. I thought I didn't deserve a chance to explain my side.Maybe, I am really just the problem.“I know, Kalel,” I say, my voice barely a whisper. “But I’m not sure I’m ready to go back yet.”He sighs, his shoulders slumping slightly. “Camilla, it’s just a visit. It’s not like you’re moving back permanently.”Th
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 71 Catching Up
(Camilla’s POV)The aroma of roasted garlic and herbs fills Kalel's apartment as he cooks his favorite dish that he wanted to share with me. It was accompanied with a soft jazz playing in the background.It's a familiar scent, one that brings back a flood of memories of our happy moments together. We used to eat together, laughing and arguing over who ordered the best menu.Now, it's just me and Kalel, sitting across from each other at his sleek, modern dining table.I’m trying my best to keep sober."This is amazing," I say, taking a bite of the perfectly seared salmon. "You haven't lost your touch."He smiles, a flicker of something I can't quite place in his eyes. "I've been cooking a lot lately. Trying to keep myself busy."Busy? I guess being trillionaire has its own sides of making you so popular that you can't even do one thing right.I nod, understanding. We both know that "busy" is a euphemism for "trying to forget."We are both so busy trying to forget the pain, the anger, t
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 70 The Truth
(Camilla’s POV)I found myself being taken to a hotel.This is where he must be staying for whatever business he has in my city currently. I don't want to believe that he came here for me.That's a stupid thing.The plush carpet of his hotel room feels strangely foreign beneath my feet. I stumble, my laughter echoing in the quiet space as I try to regain my balance. Kalel catches my arm, his grip firm but gentle, guiding me towards the plush sofa."You're a terrible liar, you know that?" I slur, my words thick with alcohol. "You miss me, don't you? Even though you have a child with someone else."I am hurting in my own words, but I didn't stop.I wanted him to know how fucking miserable I am after he chose another woman over me.Kalel ruined me.He doesn't answer, his gaze fixed on me as he helps me settle onto the sofa. I watch him, a strange mix of anger and longing swirling inside me.Is he pretending not to hear me? or did he forget what he did to me already?He can't just come he
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 69 Not Enough
(Camilla’s POV)[Four Months Later]"I promise, Timmy, I'll buy you all the toy cars you want," I say, kneeling down to meet the little boy's wide, hopeful eyes. He smiles, his gap-toothed grin lighting up his face. "Just tell me what kind you like."I heard from the nuns that this little boy is the only one not impressed with all the toys I bought for them. Of course, as a billionaire, I can't allow that to happen.I want everyone to be happy in this orphanage.I have to admit that I don't really have a good taste in selecting toys. I should have let my bodyguard pick them instead of me.Timmy rattles off a list of cars, his voice filled with excitement, each one more fantastical than the last. I listen patiently, my mind drifting, a familiar ache settling in my chest.Ever since what happened between me and Kalel, I found solace in donating in orphanages like this one.It was the only purpose I thought I had left.I got scared to fall in love again, and I don't think I’m ready to op
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 68 A promise
(Camilla’s POV)I walk down the deserted road, cool night air caressing my skin, weight from all that I had left behind weighing heavier with every step.The silence is thick; it wasn't quiet but just cut by the hum of crickets in the distance and the sound of my footsteps.I grasp tightly onto my suitcase, feeling its hard texture dig into my palm. I don't know how far the bus station is, but frankly, I don't care.A chance to get away from here, from all pain and confusion smothering me, that's all I wanted.Headlights cut through the dark suddenly, illuminating my tiny figure, and the low rumble of a car reaches my ears. I say a silent prayer that whoever it is will just drive past, but the car slows down and comes to a stop right in front of me.My heart pounds in my chest as I freeze.For a quick second, I wonder if this might be Kalel, but then I catch a glimpse of a face leaning out of the driver's side window-one that's inescapably recognizable.“Camilla?" Justin's voice is la
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 67 Choices
(Camilla’s POV)It is so quiet upon my arrival to the house, that kind of quietness that really exaggerates the sound of every noise-my footsteps across the hardwood floor, the creak of the door as I push it open.Darkness surrounds me, and the emptiness is nearly suffocating.Becky is not home, and for that, I am grateful. I do not want anyone to see me this way, in pieces and trying to hold myself together.I don't waste any time. I go to my room, tug out the suitcase from underneath the bed, and throw it open. My hands shake while stuffing my clothes into the case; all this time, I can barely see a thing through my tears.I just can't stay here anymore; I just can't keep lying to myself about how I can finally have it all-family, love, a new start.Foolish of me even to have presumed that I could make a fresh start, to be happy. My past has caught up with me again; it has followed me just like a shadow, and then caught up with me again, snatching away any chance of happiness.I sho
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 66 Kiss is a Poison
(Camilla’s POV)We found ourselves at a local diner near the beach. It has a great view here. It reminds me of something.Kalel grins as he watches me take a timidly cautious bite of the grilled fish he has just introduced me to. "How is it?" he asks with eyes twinkling in amusement.I chew thoughtfully, trying to savor the flavors. "It's.actually really good," I admit, surprised. "Much better than that time you made me try those sea urchins on our first date.Kalel laughs low and deep, the sound a muted rumble like thunder on a spring evening. "Hey, I was just trying to impress you with my adventurous palate," he teases, slouching back in his chair."Yeah, well, you almost gave me a reason to run for the hills," I reply, shaking my head at the memory. "I couldn't wait to leave that night.“I know," he says, his voice softening as he reaches across the table to take my hand. "But look at us now."I smile at him, squeezing his hand. "Yeah.look at us now.”He shook his head, trying to g
Divorced Billionaire Ex-Wife's Revenge Chapter 65 So this is love?
(Camilla's POV)He takes a deep breath, and his voice is low, hesitant. "There's something I've never really told anyone," he starts off, his eyes flicking up to meet mine briefly before dropping back down. "About my father.I say nothing, just wait for him to continue.By the tone in which he speaks, I can tell this is not easy; I don't want to push him, but again, I want him to know I am here and listening.When I was a kid, my dad. He wasn't a good man," Kalel says, his voice barely above a whisper. "He used to. hurt me physically. A lot. He would lock me in a closet for hours, sometimes overnight, just because I did something that reminded him of my mom."Those words hit me like a blow to my gut. I could not even believe what was being said.That confident, strong man, now sitting beside me, so composed and appearing always in control-the one who, as a small child, was terrified when trapped in the dark by one who should have protected him.He blamed me for her death, says Kalel,
