ON YOUR KNEES, EX-HUSBAND Chapter 145
Carla~The moment the car stopped, I already heard the noise.Music, laughter, cameras.Too much of everything.I tightened my grip on Ryan’s hand before stepping out first, adjusting my dress as the door opened wider. The second my heels touched the ground, flashes exploded around us.“Mrs. Shawn! Over here!”“Ryan! Look here!”I blinked against the sudden brightness, pulling Ryan closer instinctively as he hid half behind my leg.“Mommy,” he whispered, wide-eyed. “Why are there so many people?”“Because someone decided you’re very important today,” I said, smoothing his hair down. “Stay close to me, okay?”He nodded seriously like I’d given him a mission.We started walking.The crowd parted, but not really. It felt like being swallowed and carried at the same time. Every few steps, someone stopped me—staff, guests, cameras—smiling too hard, talking too fast.Ryan didn’t seem scared though.In fact, halfway through, he started pointing.“Mommy! That man waved at me!”“That lady is p

Carla ~The boxes arrived in the middle of the afternoon.I didn’t even need to be told who they were from at this point. it was that obvious.Xavier had money to burn so why don't I just let him? I couldn't even bring myself to be bothered.The staff wheeled everything into the villa’s main hall, carefully placing the packages down like they were handling something fragile.Lily was the first to break.“Oh my God,” she breathed, already circling the boxes. “This is insane.”Greta leaned in too, eyes widening. “This is not a birthday outfit. This is a statement.”I crossed my arms, watching them both tear into the first box like children at Christmas.“Be gentle,” I warned.Lily ignored me completely.Inside was Ryan’s tuxedo.Sky blue.Perfectly tailored.Clean lines, soft fabric, little details stitched in a way that made it look expensive without trying too hard.Greta actually whistled. “That man doesn’t do things halfway, does he?”I stepped closer without meaning to.It was… bea

Damian~My room smelled like alcohol and something worse—like I’d been rotting in it without even noticing.Maybe I had.Empty bottles lined the wall near the dresser, some standing, some collapsed like they couldn’t even hold themselves up anymore. I didn’t remember when I started arranging them like that. Or if I had at all.They were just there.Like evidence.Of something I didn’t want to name.I let out a low groan as I rolled off the edge of the bed.The movement pulled me fully into reality, and I regretted it almost immediately.The sheets shifted behind me.Two women were still asleep in my bed, tangled in each other and the mess I’d left them in. Naked. Unbothered. Unimportant.I didn’t even look at them properly.I used to tell myself this helped.That if I kept doing this, kept filling the silence with bodies and alcohol, I wouldn’t feel the absence of her.It was a lie I repeated enough times that my brain almost believed it.Almost.I stood, rubbing a hand down my face,

Carla~I couldn’t stay still.My feet kept moving across the room in sharp, uneven steps, like if I stopped for even a second everything would catch up to me at once.“Carla,” Lily said from the bed again, softer this time. “Sit down. You’re making me dizzy just watching you.”“I can’t,” I snapped, then immediately dragged a hand through my hair. “I can’t sit down.”Lily sighed and leaned back on her elbows. “You’re spiraling.”“I’m not spiraling,” I said too fast.She gave me a look.I stopped pacing just long enough to glare at her. “Okay, fine. I’m spiraling. Happy?”“Not really,” she muttered.I started pacing again anyway.Marcus.The name didn’t even need to be said out loud anymore. It was just there, sitting in my chest like something alive and refusing to leave.“I shouldn’t have left him with Levi,” I said suddenly, voice tight. “That was stupid. That was—God, that was so stupid.”Lily sat up slightly. “You didn’t have a choice at the time.”“That doesn’t matter,” I shot bac

Carla~The villa looked nothing like a house anymore.It looked like a celebration that had decided to swallow the entire building whole.Music flowed through the halls, warm golden lights reflected off polished glasses, and the sound of laughter came from every corner like it belonged there. Staff from my foundation and the company filled the space in elegant outfits, some chatting in small groups, others already deep into the wine like they’d been waiting for this exact night all year.I stood at the edge of it all for a moment, just watching.For a second, it almost didn’t feel real.People kept turning toward me as I walked in...small bows, raised glasses, soft greetings.“Good evening, ma’am.”“Miss Carla.”“Mrs. Shawn...”I smiled and nodded through all of it, but my eyes kept moving past them.Greta wasn’t here.Lily wasn’t either.That alone made me frown slightly.I took a slow sip from the glass in my hand and stepped further into the crowd, scanning faces.“Have you seen Gr

Xavier~The Lockwood residence looked nothing like itself anymore.What used to be a clean, controlled space had turned into controlled chaos—ladders leaned against walls, decorators shouting instructions across rooms, floral arrangements being carried in and out like the entire building had decided to become a wedding venue overnight.I stood in the middle of it all, watching.“Shift that a little to the left,” I called out, nodding at a cluster of lights being installed along the main hall. “No, not there. If a six-year-old trips on that setup, I’m firing someone.”A decorator froze. “Yes, sir.”Good.I checked the time on my watch again.Still days away.Not soon enough.Ryan’s birthday.Six years old.I’d told myself I was doing this for him. And I was. That part wasn’t a lie. He deserved it—loud, bright, unforgettable.But there was another reason I wasn’t saying out loud.One that had nothing to do with balloons or cake.I heard footsteps behind me before Antonio spoke.“You’re

Carla~The city glittered proudly from a mile afar.Neon lights blinked endlessly, cars flowed through the streets below, their horns blaring as loud as ever. Laughter drifted faintly upward from somewhere in the distance. From this height, everything looked beautiful. It looked controlled and pre

Carla~The rest of the night had been going really well.So well that I'd almost forgotten the actual reason we were here.Damian and I were seated at a large round table tucked away from the noise of the main ballroom. The laughter and music outside felt distant here, muffled by thick walls and cl

Carla~I woke up expecting pain.The kind of pain that settled deep into your bones and reminded you exactly where you were. The kind that came with white walls, blinding lights, and the sharp sting of disinfectant clogging your lungs.But none of that greeted me. And Instead, I got warmth in its p

Carla~“Where are we going?”My voice broke the steady hum of the engine as I shifted in the backseat, fingers twisting together in my lap. Damian didn’t answer immediately.He remained seated beside me, one leg crossed over the other, a newspaper spread open in his hands like this was just anothe
