Juliette's POV

At the wedding, everyone danced and enjoyed the party. Sharing this moment with the whole family was incredible; it will be one of the best memories of my life.

Most of the guests had left by now. Luc was waiting in the car for Gérard and me. He will take us home to change clothes and pick up our luggage. We're heading to Rome for our 5-day honeymoon.

"My dear Julie, are you ready?"

"Yes, my love."

"We'll be taking the family's private plane. You can rest comfortably. There's plenty of space."

"Thank you. I'm a bit tired, but the advantage is that it's a short trip."

I felt like I'd only dozed off for five minutes, but in reality, I'd slept through the entire flight to Rome.

We finally arrived in the beautiful city. Just as we were heading to the hotel, I caught a glimpse of the city of Rome—it looked spectacular.

"This place is truly beautiful."

"It's one of my favorite cities. Even though we'll only be here for 5 days, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay."

"Then you're my

    "My love, thank you so much for giving me this immense happiness. Our son is the result of the deep love we share," he says, softly kissing my lips."I'm so happy, Gérard. Our family is the most important thing to me. I hope to be a good mother.""I'm sure we'll be good parents. I'll give my best to take care of and protect both of you. I love you, Julie.""I love you too, honey.""I need to step out for a bit; I'll be right back," my husband tells me, and then the phone rings."Friend, congratulations! The photos you sent me of my little nephew are so adorable." It's Chloé's face on a video call."You said you were coming back to France for Claude's birth," I reproach her, and she raises her hands in apology."I know, friend, but there were some complications," she sighs. "I promise I'll come back to France as soon as I can.""I hope you keep that promise, Chloé Petit," I raise an eyebrow, and she laughs."I promise, my friend," she says solemnly, saluting me in a military style. "I'

    I could only watch as my best friend moved back and forth. She looked distressed, but I was starting to feel dizzy.And to think I felt bad about being sad, but Chloé's attitude was beginning to make me desperate and uneasy."Chloé, stop it! Why are you so nervous?""My trip is approaching, I have my suitcases almost ready, but...""What's wrong, dear friend? You can still change your mind about the trip if you're not sure,” I say with a grimace."It's just that now I realize how much I'm going to miss my parents. I've never been separated from them," she says with teary eyes."You told me yourself it's just a five-month trip. Seize this opportunity and enjoy it," I encourage her, seeing her sad."You're right. With some contacts from my father, I managed to secure a teaching job. It's a language center in Canada.""Will you be a Spanish teacher?" "Exactly, my friend. I'm really excited. There are people from different nationalities at that center. I think I'll learn a lot about othe

    My friend didn't want to continue working for Mr. Carter after what happened with Damien, so she was unemployed again and looking for a job.She had resigned from her position at Durand Enterprises to support me. It was time to pay back the favor."Darling, Chloé is jobless..." I start saying, and Gérard raises an eyebrow."Do you want me to do something for her?""Well, she had to leave her old job in your company, and I left the Carter enterprises. She doesn't want anything to do with them now, and...""I'll talk to Vincent about it, don't worry," he says, kissing the tip of my nose. "She's been with you through thick and thin. In fact, I like her more than the other one, Isabella.""You don't like Bella just because she's engaged to Dave, and he's Damien's friend, but she's a good girl," I clarify, although I had my doubts at first, they don't exist anymore."Alright, maybe I'll grow to like her over time," he says, rolling his eyes before giving me another kiss.The days went by,

    Chloé came to visit me at the mansion when she received my urgent message. It felt like some kind of déjà vu to have to share my fears about Gérard and my pregnancy with her again."Julie, what's going on?" She looks at me with concern."Chloé, I'm pregnant," this time I get straight to the point, because this time the certainty is at 100%."Are you serious? How exciting!" She practically jumps with joy. "But why that expression? Don't tell me...""I'm happy, it's just that... I'm afraid because of what happened with my previous pregnancy. I don't want to get my hopes up, and...""I see where you're going, you're worried about Gérard too, aren't you?""Yes, I don't know how he'll take the news. I don't think it's a good time for this, not with everything we have going on."Chloé tilts her head and smiles, her eyes shining with understanding."I understand everything you've been through, but you have to tell him, you're a couple, Julie," I try to smile, but it comes out more of a grima
