•Juliet POV•

Vera and I spent most of the night talking about my decision to take Edward back. She listened with a smile, making her usual jokes about it, her eyes soft with concern and quiet support. Then she told me she’d be leaving for London the following day. We talked until I began to feel drowsy, and I told her I was going to bed.

We both made our way to our rooms. The moment I got to mine, I sat on the edge of the bed for a while, my thoughts drifting back to Edward, the way he looked at me, the way he kissed me, and then that embrace. So genuine… so tender. It was something I had longed for years ago, something I never thought I’d feel again.

The thought brought a smile to my face as I lay back against the pillows, pulling the blanket over my shoulders. I closed my eyes gently and slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Mommy, are you awake?"

Jace’s tiny voice stirred me, followed by the soft tap of his palm against my arm. I opened my eyes to see his round eyes staring at me with

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 163

    •Juliet POV•"Edward, can we leave now?" I asked, my voice low and unsettled. The party had turned into something else. I no longer felt safe, and my skin itched with the thought that James might be watching me even now."Okay, my love," Edward replied and took my hand lacing our fingers together. We walked toward the exit in silence. The moment we stepped outside, I took in a deep breath, filling my lungs with the cool night air. I looked from side to side with the thought of James.Edward let go of my hand and opened the car door for me. I got in, and he walked around to the driver’s side and slid in. I leaned my head against the window, staring out blankly. I didn’t even know what to think anymore. James words echoed in my head.Someone close to you is working with me. I’d never felt fear like that before.“My love, don’t think about what James said too much,” Edward’s voice broke through the silence.I lifted my head from the window and gave him a small, tight-lipped smile. “I’m n

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 162

    •Juliet POV•A cold chill ran down my spine, and a tightness grew in my chest. Standing in front of me was James. That same smirk that haunted my memories twisted his lips, and my heart began to race. I knew it. I knew what I saw at the opening party was him, I wasn’t losing my mind.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice unsteady as my eyes darted over his shoulder, hoping to see Edward. But he wasn’t there.He took a slow step closer, lifting the champagne flute in his hand and sipping like he owned the place. “What does it look like I’m doing here?” he said, voice low and filled with something darker than anger. “I’m here to crash your party… or maybe just to prove to you that you can’t go scot-free after betraying me.”I scoffed, masking the panic crawling under my skin. “Betray you? You and I both know I didn’t. I did everything you asked. And you think you could get away with hurting me?” My hands clenched at my sides. “You’ve forgotten one thing, James, I’m not alone.”He

    {James POV}Note: This would only be once.I sat close to the window in my apartment, staring at the view of the small rose garden, a smirk playing on my lips and satisfying look sat on my face. This was it. Everything I had planned was going my way.I lit the large cigar in my hand, puffed it, and blew the smoke out slowly, watching as it floated lazily through the air.“Juliet Ryder,” I scoffed, remembering the look on her face the day she thought she had successfully put me behind bars. The memory made my jaw tighten. My fingers clenched into a fist as the urge to smash the glass window in front of me surged, but I held myself back.Not now. The time would come, and no one would be able to stop me.The door creaked open behind me, but I didn’t turn. I already knew who it was. My insider, the one who had solely offer to work alongside with me and she was here with the information I needed for my next move.“Sir, I’m sorry to bring this news to you. Miss Ryder’s company got the top r

    •Juliet POV•I couldn't think straight as the car drove down the road. Jace was still sleeping on Edward’s lap, and Edward also had his eyes closed.There was stillness in the car, but my mind was racing. Could it be that something had happened in his new school that made him acted that way? I felt the weight of my decision as I thought about the times I had changed Jace’s school.I sighed and looked towards Jace’s direction once more before turning to the window. It had already started to rain, and the water pelted the glass, making it hard to see outside. I looked away from the window and told myself that whatever had made Jace react the way he did today, I was going to figure it out.Vera pulled into the parking space at the mansion and rushed out to open the door. The rain was drizzling now. I tapped Edward on the arm, and he opened his eyes.“Jeez, I didn’t know when I slept off,” he muttered, looking down at Jace, who had just lifted his head.“Let me carry him,” I told Edward,

    •Juliet POV•I gave Dora a stern look before walking after Vera. I watched as she pushed open the door to her office and walked in. I followed her into the office immediately, watching as she sank into the chair, her eyes glistening with tears."Vera, please don’t tell me you took what Dora said seriously. She’s just being a hater because I gave the personal assistant position to you," I said, trying to console her.Vera shook her head, the tears in her eyes now rolling down her cheeks. “Maybe she’s right, Jules. I’m not supposed to be here. I’m supposed to be hosting a fashion week brand or helping a client establish their label. That’s what I do, Jules. That’s what gives me joy. But I lost everything.”I stepped closer to her, my heart aching. “You haven’t, Vera. Remember, I promised to help you out. I meant every word.”She covered her face with both hands, her voice shaky. “I don’t even know who I wronged, Jules. What did I do to deserve this? Maybe I smile too much, maybe I prete

    •Juliet POV•I scribbled my signature on the file in front of me before placing it with the rest I had already signed. Looking toward Edward, I saw him sitting on the couch, focused on his phone.He looked up the moment he noticed I was staring and smiled. “Are you done with that?”I nodded with a soft smile, and he stood up, walking over to me. “I’ve been waiting for you to be done so I can take you out for lunch.”“That sounds nice,” I chuckled, blushing softly as he reached for my hand. He intertwined his fingers with mine, and we walked out of the office together toward the elevator.When we reached the last floor, just before the exit, we came across Vera coming out of the designer’s office. Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw us.“Hey,” she greeted, adjusting the files in her arms. “Where are you two headed?”Edward smiled. “I'm taking her out for lunch.”Vera grinned knowingly. “Gosh so romantic, enjoy yourselves."I smiled warmly at her. “Thanks, Vera.
