•Juliet's POV•

“Thank you,” I muttered as I sipped the last of the warm soup. Mrs Carl smiled and collected the empty bowl, she placed it on the tray. Then handed me a glass of water. I took it and drained it in one go before giving it back.

She balanced the tray carefully, and exited the room. Just as the door clicked shut behind her, Vera walked in. She was dressed casually, black pants and a white singlet, and her hair was pulled up in a neat ponytail.

“How are you feeling now?” she asked, moving closer and settling into the chair beside my bed.

“I’m fine,” I murmured. “I’m not feeling pains that much anymore.”

She gave me a small smile. “I’m glad to hear that.” Her gaze shifted to my phone resting on the nightstand. “Any call from James?”

“No… nothing. I hadn’t even touched the phone since morning." As if summoned by her words, the device buzzed to life. Vera jerked her head toward it and quickly reached out to check the screen.

“It’s James,” she whispered, her eyes narrowing sli

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 208

    •Juliet POV•I felt like I was spinning, my head pounding, my heart beating faster than normal. The only thing holding me up was the last bit of strength I had left in my body.“Juliet, please don’t let this make you sick,” Edward murmured as he pulled me closer into his arms. “Don’t think about it too much.”“Why wouldn’t I?” I mumbled into his shoulder. “I feel hurt. I’m in so much pain.”Edward’s hand rubbed gently around my back, steady and calming. “I know how you’re feeling. I might not know how you started this company, but I feel the pain of betrayal.”“What have I done to deserve this, Edward?” I cried, my voice barely holding together. “Why is it that everyone I trust always ends up betraying me? Do I deserve it?”“My love, you don’t,” Edward said softly, pulling me back just enough to wipe my tears with his palm. His other hand cupped my chin, lifting it slightly. “You don’t deserve any of the bad things happening lately. You deserve better.”He hugged me again, holding me

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 207

    •Juliet POV•I wrapped my arms over my chest as I stared at the view of the city, tears rolling down my face. I couldn’t believe this, everything felt like a bad nightmare I was caught in, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t wake up from it.The cold coming from the air conditioner in the office seeped into my skin, like tiny needles prickling my pulse. I let out a raspy breath as my mind drifted to my past with James. I remembered how I had found his behavior strange back then... and yet I still fell for it.“You’re such a fool,” I muttered to myself, my voice low and bitter. “If you’d stuck to your gut, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.”I sniffled and wiped my tears with my palm, feeling an ache deep in my chest. I rubbed my hand against my forehead like it would ease the pain building inside me.“Jules, I need to talk to you.” Vera’s voice came through, pulling me out of the storm of my thoughts. She knocked lightly on the door, turning the knob. I heard her try to open it

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 206

    •Edward POV•I watched as Juliet walked out without looking back. Her shoulders were slightly hunched, and even though she tried to hold herself together, I could hear her soft sniffles fading down the hallway. I could only imagine how she must’ve been feeling right now.Every of her attempt to get her company back in business was failing. I sighed, shoving my hand through my hair as my mind spun, thinking of the next move to take.Rona sat in front of her monitor, eyes glued to the screen like she was waiting for just one positive comment to pop up. But none came, her face tightened in frustration before she groaned and slammed the laptop shut, standing up sharply.Vera stood not far from me, typing quickly on her phone, her brows furrowed in focus.Then my gaze drifted to Dora.I let it linger there, narrowing my eyes a little. She wore that same calm, supportive look. If Eric hadn’t told me what he saw, she would’ve been the last person I’d suspect. That’s what made it sting even m

    •Juliet POV•I crouched to Jace’s level and brushed my hand against his curly hair that fell to his forehead before pulling him close for a hug. He wrapped his hands around my neck.“Be good for Mommy, okay?” I whispered.Jace smiled when we pulled out of the hug, nodding softly. “Okay, Mommy.”I smiled back and then turned to Mila, who was standing close to us with her backpack hung on her shoulder. “And you too, Mila,” I said, taking her hand softly.“Okay, Miss Ryder,” she said cheerfully, and I straightened up, watching as Jace and Mila walked down to the entrance of school.I kept my eyes on them until I could no longer see them. My chest tightened a little before I finally turned toward Vera, who was standing by the car, leaning against it while scrolling through her phone.“I can’t say this is good, after the government shut down the company for investigation,” Vera mumbled, staring at her phone screen. “The comments online have finally died down.”I walked over slowly, my hand

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 204

    •Edward POV•I pulled Juliet close in a cuddle as I kissed her on the forehead. She was still fast asleep, and seeing how peaceful she was sleeping made me smile.I gently shifted from her and stood up from the bed, thinking of what to do. It’s been days since Jace’s perfume incident, and even though it seems like we're getting close to figuring things out, I feel uncertain about it.I shoved my hand through my hair and walked over to the nightstand. I picked up my phone and checked the time before dropping it back. I needed to get dressed and check on how far Eric had gone with investigating.By the time I got out of the bathroom and pulled on a black shirt and black pants, Juliet stirred from sleep and sat up, staring at me with sleepy eyes.“Good morning, my love,” she mumbled as she stretched her hand to the nightstand to grab her phone.“How are you feeling this morning?” I asked as I walked over to meet her. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and lips before walking over to ge

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 203

    •Edward POV•I picked up the perfume bottle from the table and stared at it for a while before dropping it back on the table. “James is smart, I mean, how did he come up with this idea?” I muttered as I took a step away from the table, now facing Eric. “Isn't this against the law? Can’t we sue James?”Eric who was scrolling through his tab and writing something down, looked up at me and shook his head slightly. “We could’ve done that, but it’s just that we don’t have solid evidence against him. He might deny it in court.”“Yeah, James has a way of manipulating things,” I said, walking towards the door. “I have to go home now. Keep up with the investigation. If you find anything else, please reach out to me.”Eric nodded, and I walked out of the storage room, making my way down the hallway. I shoved my hand through my hair, thinking about how the day had been. I could feel it in me, we were close to getting rid of James for real this time.When I got to the last floor of the building a
