•Juliet’s POV•

I pushed open the door to the restroom and walked in hastily, still feeling the grip of Edward’s hand around my wrist, not just that, but the way he had wrapped his arm around my waist.

Reaching for a face wipe, I began removing the makeup from my face, staring hard at my reflection in the mirror. How dare he walk up to me and talk to me that way? My heart wouldn't stop thumping in my chest as I replayed Edward’s words about Jace.

Biting my lower lip, I leaned forward, my hand resting on the cold marble sink. He was too quick... too observant. I had thought I could keep Edward from knowing the truth, that Jace was his son, but after today’s encounter, I wasn’t sure if it would be that easy.

I rinsed my face and patted it dry with a napkin before leaving the restroom. As I entered the dressing room, ready to freshen up with a light touch of makeup, I found Nora just finishing packing up her kit.

“Can you do a light makeup for me?” I asked, settling into the chair.

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 177

    •Juliet POV•I was still seated on the bed, thinking of what to do when I heard a soft knock on the door. I ignored it, thinking it was Edward. I wasn't in the mood to see him or hear what he had to say."Mommy, are you in there?" Jace’s muffled voice came through, and I stood up from the bed. I wiped my face with my palm and sniffled softly, staring at my reflection in the mirror before walking to the door."Yes, baby," I said as I opened the door. Immediately he saw me, he wrapped his hands around my waist in a hug. I patted him softly on the back, and then he looked up at my face with a smile. "Aren’t you adorable."He chuckled. "I love you, Mommy."I smiled genuinely. Seeing Jace happy was enough to make me forget whatever had made me sad not long ago. "I love you too, my sweet child."I took Jace’s little finger, and we walked back to the bed. I helped him climb up before sitting next to him. My mind drifted to Edward again, and I felt my heart breaking once more."Mommy, are you

    •Edward POV• I felt like I had lost my mind as I looked back at the door, my heart aching badly. I thought if I didn’t tell Juliet everything that happened that night, it would make it look like it never happened. But I should’ve known it wasn’t going to stop there. Whoever planned this with Leyi clearly had an aim. “Jeez, I can’t believe this is happening again,” Vera said harshly as she walked down the stairs. “I can’t imagine what Juliet is going through right now.” Feeling confused, I didn’t know what to do anymore. How could I fix this? The question rammed through my head over and over. I ran down the stairs after Vera, my mind racing and guilt crawling up my spine, making the pain in my chest even worse. “Vera, please. I know Juliet won’t listen to me, but if I talk to you, maybe you can explain to her.” Vera stopped in her path and turned to look at me, her eyes gleaming with anger. “Explain to her?” she shot me a deadly stare. “Like I did the first time, thinking you’

    •Juliet POV•My heart broke each minute as I stared at the screen in shock, flipping through the images until I got to a video, and that was when my hand shook. The pain in my heart was so much that I used my other hand to hold my chest.“What’s the problem, my love?” Edward asked when he noticed my behavior. I looked up from the phone and turned to face him, tears filled my eyes.I wanted to react, then my gaze drifted to Jace. I didn’t want him to notice anything or ruin the nice breakfast we were having, so I stood up, faking a smile. “I need to use the restroom.” I pushed the chair away from me and walked out of the dining room, covering my mouth with my hand to hold in the sob.When I got to the living room, I crashed onto the couch, crying.“My love, what’s the problem? Did James threaten you? I’ll call the cops now,” Edward’s worried voice followed after me.“I wish it was James who had threatened me,” I mumbled through a sob. Standing up from the couch, I turned to face him, t

    •Juliet POV•The ride home was long and mostly quiet. I sat in the front passenger seat beside Vera as she drove, her hands gripping the steering wheel just a little too tightly. Her eyes stared ahead, but I could tell her mind was somewhere else. The way her fingers tapped now and then on the wheel, the way she sighed quietly, it was all too telling.“Have you been able to reach Mr. Anthony?” I asked, breaking the silence.She glanced at me briefly before focusing back on the road. “No. I tried calling him before, but the line didn’t go through. After that, I just decided to let it go.”I hesitated for a second before speaking. “Eric called.”Her head turned slightly toward me again, curiosity flashing in her eyes. “What did he say?”“He finalized the investigation… and found out it was really Mr. Anthony behind everything,” I said quietly, my voice thick with disappointment.Vera bit her lower lip, eyes back on the road. “If he did all that… I hope it was worth it to him. I really t

    •Juliet POV•As soon as the elevator chimed open, Leyi stepped out and walked away without looking back. I let out a slow breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, but I could still feel Edward’s hand wrapped tightly around mine. I looked up at him and smiled, hoping it would mask the unease that lingered inside me.We made our way to the office, Edward speaking softly beside me, trying to reassure me that everything was fine. But I didn’t respond. I couldn’t.Because I didn’t know what to think. Inside the office, I quietly moved to my desk, my heels clicking softly on the polished floor.“Are you okay, my love?” Edward asked as I sat down.I glanced up, offering another gentle smile. “Yes, honey,” I replied, picking up the blue file in front of me.He smiled in return, but I could feel his eyes on me as he walked toward the floor-to-ceiling glass, standing with his arms folded and his eyes staring out into the distance.“I don’t want you to be worried about anything,” he said, still f

    •Juliet POV•“Mommy, where is Daddy?"Jace’s small voice pulled me out of my conversation with Vera. I turned to see him rushing down the stairs, his white shirt half-tucked into his pants, his curly hair bouncing with each step. He ran into my arms and I bent slightly, adjusting his shirt and brushing my fingers through his hair.“Look who’s dressed up like a prince,” Vera grinned, watching him with admiration.“Aunt Vera!” Jace beamed, turning from me and launching himself toward her. She caught him easily, pulling him into a warm hug before playfully tickling his sides. He erupted in laughter, his joy echoing around the living room.“I hope I have a son like you someday,” Vera said, squeezing him.“Really, Aunt Vera?” Jace’s eyes lit up. “I’m going to have a brother when you do!”I laughed, staring at Jace. His smile and happiness a reminder to me how much I've been through to finally have such happiness“Calm down, champ,” Vera chuckled. “I’m not ready yet, but when I do, then yes
