ON YOUR KNEES, EX-HUSBAND Chapter 90
Damian~“You know maybe Xavier was right all along.”Her voice would not leave my head.It kept replaying over and over again like a curse I couldn’t outrun.“Maybe you're really not better than he is.”I tightened my grip around the glass in my hand until my knuckles turned pale. Any more pressure and I was sure the glass would shatter from my grip.“And you're not half the man I thought you to be.”The words hit harder the second time.And the third.And every damn time after that.I leaned back heavily into my office chair, staring blankly at the untouched city skyline beyond the glass windows while the whiskey burned its way down my throat.Nothing helped. Not the damn alcohol, it barely left any after effect.Not the deafening silence, and definitely not the anger.Because underneath all of it, Carla was right.A bitter laugh escaped me at the thought.When had everything become such a disaster?The office was dark except for the dim amber light near my desk. Shadows stretched ac

Damian~I stood behind my desk with my hands braced against the polished wood, staring at the two men seated across from me while every muscle in my body remained painfully tense.Neither of them looked intimidated. If anything, they looked entertained.Like predators patiently waiting for prey to finally crack.“Gentlemen,” I started with a tight smile that didn’t reach my eyes.“One year, Reeves.”Gus slammed his palm against the desk so hard the whiskey glasses rattled.“You promised us one fucking year.”I clenched my jaw.“Calm down, Gus,” I replied through gritted teeth.“There’s no need to get agitated just yet.”The second man beside him barked out a dry laugh.“No need?” he mocked. “You’re behind schedule and bleeding money.”“And now you’re telling us not to get agitated?”I said nothing, because arguing with men like them was useless.Gus leaned back into his chair, thick fingers drumming lazily against the armrest while his cold eyes stayed fixed on me.I hated those eyes.

Carla~For a moment, I just froze.That name echoed inside my head like a distant memory I had buried years ago.My brother was here?After all this time?I didn’t even realize Greta was still standing there watching me carefully until she cleared her throat awkwardly.“Should I… not let him in?” she asked cautiously.My lips parted but no words came out immediately.I hadn’t seen him in years, not since Father had cast me aside like I was nothing more than a disgrace to the family name.And Larry…I clenched my jaw tightly.He had stood there and watched it happen.I slowly lowered myself into my chair, my fingers drumming restlessly against the polished surface of my desk.“Let him in,” I finally muttered.Greta hesitated briefly before nodding.“Right away.”The moment she disappeared behind the doors, my chest tightened painfully.I hated this feeling.That strange mixture of anger, nostalgia, and curiosity clawing at my insides.A part of me wanted to scream at him the second he

Carla~I slowly spun around in my large swivel chair, staring blankly at the city skyline stretching endlessly beyond the glass walls of my office.The view was breathtaking as always, never failing to amaze me even in moments like this.Towering buildings, moving traffic and giant digital billboards flashing advertisements across the city.And somewhere among all of that chaos…was me.Carla Dunbar.The same woman who once slept on cold street floors and cried herself to sleep wondering if life would ever get better.Funny how quickly life could change.Yet despite everything I had now, I still couldn’t stop thinking about Xavier’s words.“You think he’s better than me?”“Go ahead and ask him yourself.”“Ask him why he really chose you of all people to model in the first place.”I shut my eyes tightly and pinched the bridge of my nose in exhaustion.God.Why was I even letting him get into my head like this?Why did those stupid words keep replaying over and over again?“Come on, Carl

Carla~The message on my screen glowed eerily in the dark.Meet me downstairs–Xavier My stomach twisted uneasily.The mansion was silent tonight. Too silent.Lily had long gone to bed after our argument earlier, and Ryan was asleep upstairs in his room. Even the air felt tense somehow, heavy with something I couldn’t explain.I stepped into the living room, rubbing my temple tiredly—And froze.A figure stood near the large windows overlooking the estate.“What the—”My heart nearly stopped before recognition slammed into me.“Xavier?”Anger replaced my shock almost instantly.“What the hell are you doing here, Xavier?” I questioned sharply as I hurried downstairs properly.My voice stayed low despite my fury.The last thing I needed was Damian finding Xavier sneaking around his house in the middle of the night.Xavier slowly stepped out of the shadows, the hood over his head falling back slightly under the dim lights.God.He looked terrible.His eyes were tired. Hollow almost.But

Carla~“Seriously, guys?”My voice sliced through the dining room sharply enough to make both Damian and Lily pause mid-glare.I set my fork down slowly, looking between the two of them in disbelief. This had been going on all evening.No, all week.Ever since the incident with Xavier outside the mansion, Damian had been unbearably cold toward Lily. And Lily being Lily, had decided to retaliate with the maturity level of an angry teenager.Petty comments, passive aggressive sighs, snarky remarks and the lotsAnd now this?The tension at the dinner table was so thick I could practically choke on it.Ryan, thankfully, was too busy massacring his mashed potatoes with a spoon to notice much.But I noticed. And I was exhausted.Lily leaned back in her chair with crossed arms, rolling her eyes dramatically. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Oh, please,” Damian muttered under his breath before taking a sip from his glass.“There!” I pointed at him immediately. “That! Exactly that!”

Xavier~The hallway felt too narrow for the rage boiling inside me.My strides were long, furious, my jaw clenched so tightly it ached. Every step echoed with one singular emotion; rage. I could still hear Estelle’s cries ringing in my ears, still see the blood, still feel the way my chest had seiz

Carla~“She’ll never set eyes on Ryan again.”Those words didn’t just reach me, they tore me open.For a second, everything went eerily quiet. The noise, the chaos, the shouting; it all faded into nothing as something inside my chest snapped clean in two. My struggling stilled, my body going unnatu

Carla~The room was quiet in that fragile, suffocating way that made every breath feel too loud.I stood beside the bed, staring down at Ryan’s still form, my hands clenched into fists at my sides as if letting them relax would somehow make everything fall apart. He hadn’t woken up yet. His lashes
