•Juliet's POV•

Edward's voice echoed in my ear as I sat in the car, staring out the window. I hadn't expected him to react the way he did, and the fact that I told him about Jace being his son must've triggered all that.

"Uh, what was I thinking?" I mumbled to myself. "I shouldn't have gone to see him on my own. Now I feel awkward."

I squeezed the hand that was resting on my lap and took in a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if calming the storm within me. Luckily for me, Eric pulled into the driveway of the mansion and opened the door. I stepped out and walked hastily to the entrance.

Clutching my bag handle in my hand, I drowned in thoughts of what to do the next time I see Edward. Since I’d already told him I would reply later, I had to be sure that whatever response I gave wouldn't end up hurting me.

I walked into the living room and saw Vera and Jace sitting on the couch. Jace had a chocolate bar in his hand and was nibbling on it while he watched TV peacefully. Vera must’ve hear

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 216

    •Juliet POV•When we got back to the hotel, Vera sighed as she collapsed onto the bed."What a day," she muttered, kicking off her shoe. "I feel so bad for Dora’s mom. Now I feel like punching the life out of James."I didn't offer a word. I didn’t know what to say. My mind was filled with so much that if I eventually opened my mouth to say anything, I might break down in tears again.I pulled off my dress and changed into nightwear, then sat on the couch in the room, my head resting on the armrest, gaze fixed on the ceiling. I tried to get past my emotions and calm myself when my phone started ringing.I stood up and walked over to grab it. Seeing that it was Edward calling, I picked up. It immediately switched to video call, and a sweet smile spread across my lips when I saw Jace’s chubby cheeks covering the camera."Mommy, are you there?" he asked, the camera now showing only his little mouth."Yes, baby," I said softly. "Put the camera away from you a little bit so I can see your

    •Juliet POV•The cool breeze blew past my hair, brushing it to the side as I walked out of London airport with Vera beside me. We made our way to the front, scanning the crowd for the cab that was supposed to pick us up and take us to the hotel.I wrapped my arms around my chest and took a deep breath of the familiar air, letting it fill my lungs. There was something about the London chill that brought a rush of old memories. I smiled faintly, remembering how I once stepped into this city with nothing but dreams and a heart full of hope. Back then, it was all about building something from nothing.But just as that smile crept across my face, it disappeared. My thoughts shifted to the present, to the mess James had dragged everything into. My company, my peace... all shaken."Jules, here comes the cab driver," Vera said, her voice pulling me back to the moment.I looked up and followed her gaze. A man in a brown sweatshirt and black jeans approached us."Miss Ryder?" he asked with a hi

    •Juliet POV•The week went by in a blur, police investigation, endless condolences, and Dora’s funeral. A few people came in from New York and London, but my eyes kept scanning the faces in the crowd, searching for someone I hadn’t seen.Her mother.Dora had once mentioned she was sick, probably in the hospital. Maybe she still believed Dora was okay… maybe no one had told her yet."Miss Ryder, whoever did this should pay with their life," Jennifer, Dora’s college mate, said in a low voice, her words heavy with pain. She sniffled, wiping her tears with a trembling hand."I promise you, Jenny," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "We’ll find the person who did this."She gave a slow nod and turned to leave, but I reached out and gently held her arm. “Do you know which hospital Dora’s mom is in, back in London? And… do you know if she’s been told?”Jenny’s eyes dropped, and her voice cracked. “She’s at Eastbridge Hospital. I actually went to see her… before flying here. I was supp

    •Juliet’s POV•Edward had always told me these words of encouragement, and it always felt like he was just trying to comfort me, words that were meant to make me feel better and not change anything. But now, the pain of losing Dora had left a hole in my chest so deep, I wanted nothing more than to see James behind bars. That was the only thing that made sense now.I tried to push myself off the couch, but my body felt like it weighed a ton. My gaze drifted to Vera. She had stopped crying but was staring into space, Eric sat beside her, whispering something I couldn't make out, his hand gently rubbing her back. But It didn’t matter. Nothing anyone said would bring Dora back to life or bring my company back to what it once was.Edward took my hand silently and helped me up. His grip was firm as we walked up the stairs together, with only silence following us, heavy, painful silence.“My love, you need to rest,” he said softly when we got to the top of the stairs.“I’m fine,” I muttered,

    •Juliet POV•I hummed to the solemn song playing through the headphones, taking in a deep breath and exhaling softly. This was exactly what I needed right now, peace of mind, even though things hadn’t been going well these days.I just didn’t want to think about it.I picked up the glass of orange juice on the nightstand to take a sip but realized I had already finished it. With a sigh, I set the headphones down on the bed and stood up, lifting the tray Mrs. Carl had used to bring me the juice and velvet cake.I made my way out of the room and walked down the stairs to get more juice, but halfway down, I heard the sound of someone sniffling, and then Edward’s voice came through, quiet but clear.“Let’s not tell Juliet about this for now. She’s been trying to find peace… and this might put her in pain,” he said gently.I frowned, confused and uneasy. What was Edward trying to hide from me? And who was crying?I hurried down the stairs, my heartbeat rising with every step. When I reache

    Note: This POV was only written to tell this part of the story.•Vera POV•Eric drove further up the road until we reached the front of Dora's apartment building. He parked the car, and I quickly stepped out, my heart racing in my chest. Eric followed closely behind me as we made our way past a few people gathered outside. Something didn’t feel right, the air was tense.When we got closer to the front entrance, yellow tape was stretched around the perimeter, flapping slightly in the wind. Several police officers stood near the entrance, blocking anyone from going in. I tried to move closer, but one of them raised his hand, stopping us.“Excuse me,” Eric said, his voice firm. “We know the lady who lives here. Her name is Dora.”“I’m sorry, sir,” the officer replied. “You can’t go beyond this line. It’s an active crime scene.”My eyes darted around, searching for anything, any sign that Dora was okay. But deep inside, my heart was already starting to break.I moved to the side, trying t
