Semua Bab Alex’s Regret: Chasing My Stubborn Wife: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Camilla's POVJessica's ungrateful, lazy, and annoying footsteps could be heard with maddening progression until my office door flung open like it had nine lives.This fucking bitch. Is it just me or were there a lot of bitches around me lately? I hadn't heard shit about Heather. Great, she couldn't possibly keep occupying my mind when I had a company to run.Her hands met my table."I heard he gave you something I wanted."She started off, and I couldn't believe this was her problem. Something warm blossomed in my chest upon remembering what Alex did. Whatever his reasons were, I had decided to just be happy for my new property. Truly, my ex husband had about a hundred more anyway."That's too bad Jessy, it's mine now. I'm even heading there today to check out the big house. You know once upon a time, I would've moved in there with my husband—""He's not your husband anymore!" She raged."You better hand it over if you know what's good for you, because I won't just sit back!"I was t

Camilla's POVI took off my shoes, my blue suit, and I ran a bath. I never wore skirts to work. I felt like pants gave the no nonsense vibe, and let's say it was because even I knew how amazing and damning my curves were. Hiding them in a professional space seemed really right.I sank in the tub for like an hour, healing my muscles, healing my life at this point. I thought about my kids. Another mummy time tomorrow, since I'm too exhausted to leave my room again to kiss them goodnight.Sometimes it sat like a heavy weight on my chest, guilt. But then, if I didn't work, how would I afford them this life? The best or nothing. I'm sure they understood...right?After the bath, I crawled into bed in a robe, my hair brushed out, and I reached for my phone and started scrolling through it, hoping to fall asleep from there.I guess Beth had either forgotten to show me her outfit, or she didn't want to show me her outfit, because the bodyguard sent me pictures of her. She had left, and he was

Camilla's POV"You're driving me fucking insane. Let's fuck then settle our differences later."A cold shiver rippled down my spine.I was cradled in his arms, his heart beat so heavy I could feel it in my chest, his breath in my face, our mouths inches apart. I couldn't freaking breathe. "Come on. I bet you're as starved as I am because no one can fuck you better than I do. Let me take you—on your desk. In an hour we'll be done then we can go back to fighting."Ugh. He looked so handsome, I almost considered, but no.He was out of his mind."A cheat will always be a cheat. I don't fuck cheaters, sorry.""I never cheated on you. I could never.""Whatever you say. I'm not doing this shit with you.""Not even a kiss?" He growled into my mouth. Christ."Not even one.""You know I still love you, right?" His finger pushed my loose strands behind my ear.That's when I came to my senses and pulled myself off him. "Please leave," My heart beat erratically."I have work to do. Play time is

Camilla's POVFull bowl of popcorn, she was very comfortable looking, and she was sprawled on the couch without a care in the world."You're back!" She screamed. I did a little yawning, approaching her."What are you watching?""I'll tell you once you sit down and have a sister sleepover with me.""But I just came back from a date.""Sit down alreadyyyy."I crashed into the sofa beside her, then I got a good view of the movie. The greatest showman, exactly when those thugs burned down Barnum's building.Damn, it sucked.At least the hurt made me forget I wanted to fuck a man a couple of minutes ago."Grant and I kissed. I'm like, over the moon. It felt...good." I admitted even though she didn't ask, which isn't something I normally do.Her eyes were wide, and words couldn't come out of her mouth for the first minute. I get it, I shocked her to hell. I mean, I've kissed Richards, but this was different. It was like an awakening."Uhm, wow. Love that for you. He didn't invite you over?

Camilla's POVInstead he just smiled at her and ruffled her hair."I'm your mom's friend, sweetie."So now he's officially met my daughter. Remind me why I even called him here in the first place? Alex wore jean pants and a T-shirt, his muscles barely hidden. He looked dangerously good."You're not Mr Grant."Shit. Alex's eyes floated to mine in question, and I had this weird obligation to tell him shit, even though it wasn't his business."He's a friend."'That I'm definitely going to use to prove to you that I'm not affected by your stupid engagement.' I said in my mind.I had to put the kids to sleep eventually, being paranoid and standing by the hall in between my kids room.I felt him from behind, pressing himself to me and holding me by my waist. That's when I realized I'd been trembling."Are you okay, Camilla baby?"He whispered softly into my ear, and all I wanted to do was cry.I shook my head. My stupid pet name.The police had taken my report already, and I didn't know h
