last update Last Updated: 2025-10-28 23:13:41

JULIAN'S POV

Samantha glared at Fred, her disciplined, matronly glare bore down on him, and he quickly walked away.

"Don't mind him, Julian. You know how Fred is." She said apologetically.

Her eyes expressed her guilt. She must have regretted asking me the question in the first place. If she hadn't asked, Fred wouldn't have butted in, and things wouldn't have turned so awkward.

I stared at his retreat and silently cursed that I wasn't able to beat him up at the moment. Well... I wouldn't want to cause trouble at the script reading.

Abel held my hand and whispered: "Let's go back to our seats. We will deal with slag Fred later."

I nodded in agreement.

I had already let the bastard go once, but that didn't mean I had no temper. I would make sure he regrets everything he did. I would let him know what he had lost when he betrayed me. What? He wouldn't want to be with a guy?

Funny, I presented as an omega!

    JULIANThe doctor turned around in a second with a curious expression on his face. He looked like he was ready for a gossip, and his ears perked up. I smiled secretly. Then, I gestured for Abel to hand over my bag. Rummaging through the bag with my free hand, I found the marriage certificate I'd always kept with me and handed it over to the doctor. "You can see for yourself," I said to him. The doctor frowned. He seemed to have noticed something wrong as he took the certificate from me while he continued looking at my face, seemingly searching for clues. But I kept my smile innocent. The doctor's brows raised, and then, lowering his eyes, he glanced at the marriage certificate in his hand. His eyes widened. He took a step back. His lips parted as he tried to let out a word, but he seemed too shocked to say anything. This went on for a while longer until the man was finally able to calm down. "This... This is that Mr Xavier? The one..." I nodded, interrupting his stammering.

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 48: EXPOSED?

    JULIAN That couldn't be right. There was no way he would risk his life to save me when he hated me so much. He was a scum who would gladly watch me die without doing anything, so how could he think about saving me?I must be hallucinating. Everything I remembered was wrong. "Abel," I called with a cracked voice. The bad premonition in my heart was unbearable. I really didn't want to believe it. "Hm?" Abel replied. I looked into his eyes, hoping he would tell me something different and crush the silly thoughts in my heart. "Who helped me?" I asked in a low voice. Abel's expression changed. His earlier soft smile disappeared, and he looked at me worriedly. My heart sank. Could my memory be right?No, it shouldn't. "Tell me," I whispered, barely able to keep my composure. Abel's grip on my hand tightened briefly, and he sighed. "Fred already saved you before we got there. He also performed an emergency CPR on you." Abel explained. My thoughts collapsed, and so did my heart

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 47: PANIC

    JULIANMy eyes widened, and my heart raced violently. Looking at the water that got closer with each passing second, I felt like my body was devoid of blood and panic rose from my chest. Splash!My body hit the water, and water splashed everywhere. I swan around in panic, unable to control myself and the heaviness that came with the sudden fall. Fortunately, I didn't hit anything in the water, but that didn't reduce the fear in my heart as... I couldn't swim!My head was slowly drowning in the water. I frantically tried to call for help but swallowed water instead. My stomach lurched. Fear and panic grew stronger from within. Along with them came regret. I should have listened to Xavier and Abel. I shouldn't have stepped out alone. I shouldn't have been so lost in thought that I fell into the water... now, who would protect my baby?Who would save me?My right hand went to my belly while my left hand continued moving in the water, trying to pull myself out. Someone needed to

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 46: FELL

    JULIAN I initially thought it would be difficult for me to act out the scene with the discomfort in my chest and my average acting. But I was wrong. Seeing the disgusting acting of Fred and the female lead who was crying but whose eyes showed she was enjoying it, I could barely keep my anger under control. Everything made me wonder if the actress acting as the female lead was being naive or plainly stupid. The scene could have been acted with sense. Fred didn't need to show so much of her breasts publicly if he truly loved her as she thought. He would have protected her even more. But that wasn't the case. Not only did Fred almost expose her entire breasts publicly, but he even slid his hand into her panties while she also looked like she was enjoying it. My anger blared and watching became difficult as time passed. Seeing that it was time to act, I moved, but the female lead's pleading eyes, which seemed to say I shouldn't move, made me sit back. I clenched my fingers around

    JULIAN "You should probably go to the hospital after today's shoot." Abel proposed. I nodded in agreement. "I thought it would be easy to endure, but it really wasn't." I lamented. With my eyes closed, I rested my mind as Abel drove down to the set. Thankfully, we were able to get there early and didn't waste the other's time. Director James approached us with a big smile on his face. His eyes were filled with reverence as he bowed slightly. "Mr Julian, hope you are better now?" He asked softly. My eyes squinted, confusion blaring within me. What caused the change?What I expected was really different from this. While I knew Director James would no longer curse me out, as Xavier had invested even more in the drama, I at least expected a bad look from him. This...It made me feel a bit uncomfortable. "Mr Xavier told us to take things easy with you today as you are still unwell. Don't worry. We can use a body double for the difficult parts, and you can rest assured that nothing

  • CAGED IN HIS EMBRACE    CHAPTER 44: CONFLICT

    JULIANI had no choice but to wait helplessly as Xavier returned from the kitchen with the tea flask in hand. He handed it over to Abel, who actively received it and hugged it to his chest. Xavier walked over, his hands curled around my waist, and he planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "You should take care at the set. Don't let anyone trouble you too much." He muttered. I nodded along. Anything he said. He already gave me the ginger tea anyway. Xavier seemed to notice my mood as he gently captured my lips with his. He sucked and licked. "I will check up on you in the afternoon." He promised. A frown immediately settled on my face. "No," I mumbled. "You shouldn't come." Xavier raised a brow. "Why?" He asked. I took a step back, pressing my hands on his chest as I shook my head. "No one should know about us. Remember?" His expression changed. His softened eyes flickered, and he turned his head away. "I understand." He muttered. Seeing his reaction, my heart beat quickened. My
