All Chapters of Ex-Wife on Top, CEO on His Knees: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Julian went quiet for a second, then finally looked away. He scoffed. "You certainly have a sharp memory."How could Camille not?Every vicious word he'd ever uttered was etched into her mind. It had taken her six long years, but she'd finally woken up. At least she hadn't thrown her whole life away.When they arrived at the hospital, Camille followed close behind Julian as he made his way to Kimberly's room.Kimberly's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she pushed herself up in bed. "Julian, you…"Her smile faded the moment she spotted Camille standing behind him. She gripped the blanket, knuckles white. She couldn't understand why he'd brought Camille to see her.Camille ignored Kimberly's reaction and stepped forward, offering a small, polite smile. "Dr. Walsh, I'm sorry about what happened earlier."Kimberly froze.Was this bitch actually apologizing to her?With her head bowed, Camille continued, "Dr. Walsh, I wish you a peace so deep nothing can disturb it, a calm so comp

"Divorce?" Harvey froze, his voice tight. "Cami and Julian are divorcing? Is it because of me—""No! Of course not," Erica interrupted, stepping up beside him. "Their divorce has nothing to do with you, Harv. You're overthinking this."She knew exactly how impulsive Harvey could be. If he found out the real reason Camille and Julian were divorcing, he'd probably go after Julian's "mistress".That would only stir up trouble with Julian, and the Stowells would be the ones to pay.Erica did care about Camille, but the Hatchers were the Stowells' only real shot at turning things around.If anyone was to blame, it was the Stowells themselves. They simply didn't have the kind of powerful backing Camille needed.Greg chimed in, "That's right. Cami has no idea how lucky she is. She was incredibly fortunate to marry into the Hatchers, and yet she went and stirred up trouble with Julian."He kept tearing into Camille as if her sole purpose was to humiliate him, utterly disregarding all th

Camille had spent the night in the guest room and slept soundly through it.It wasn't until breakfast that she spotted Julian at the dining table. He looked like he hadn't slept well, a rare shadow of fatigue lingering on his face.Viola carried the breakfast over, expecting Camille to reach for it as she usually did. But when Camille didn't move, Viola paused. Something in the air between Camille and Julian made her hesitate.Had they argued?Julian fastened his cufflinks and glanced at the breakfast on the table. Memories of the old days came back.Whenever he stayed at Aetheria Heights, Camille would always get up early to make him breakfast. But now, it seemed, she was getting up later than he was.He picked up his knife and fork slowly. Watching Camille eat quietly, as if he didn't exist, he pressed his lips into a thin line. Annoyed, he set the utensils back down."Mr. Hatcher, is everything alright with breakfast?" Viola asked, her voice edged with worry.She feared her

A child?Camille's mind went straight to Xavier. She couldn't imagine any other reason Julian would lose it like this, except for what had happened with Kimberly and Xavier."You're saying I went after a child?" she asked, a small, detached laugh escaping her. "I don't get what you mean by that, Mr. Hatcher."Julian seized her wrist. "Weren't you the one who bought that cake?"He yanked her so hard her wrist ached.Camille pulled back instinctively, her nose already tingling. "Kimberly asked me to get the cake, and I did. So what?"Julian grabbed her arm, yanking her close. They were barely a foot apart. "Xav's allergic to chocolate! Do you even realize that cake could've killed him?"Camille ignored the pain shooting up her arm, her expression blank as she froze. "Kimberly never told me.""You are still lying," Julian said, his gaze hardening as he closed the distance, every ounce of him fighting the urge to strangle her. "Kimberly already told you about Xav's chocolate alle

Julian didn't stick around. He was out the door almost instantly.Kimberly watched him go, fists clenched, teeth pressed so hard her jaw throbbed. He'd promised he'd stay with Xavier.Was he going to that bitch?No. He couldn't be. Not after the way he'd just been siding with her and Xavier.Ten years of history bound them. She'd been away only six. How could he have changed so fast?Kimberly knew Julian too well. He'd rather have nothing than settle for less. He wasn't the type to fall for just anyone. She clung to that thought, trying to find some tiny measure of comfort.After all, he'd always sided with her and Xavier, no matter what, which only made her believe he still had room for her in his heart.Camille, that little plaything, wasn't even worth a second thought.…Camille was in the office, her pant legs rolled up, knees showing bruises and marks from the floorboards. The door opened, and she quickly pulled her pants back down."Cami, what happened to your knees?" H
