•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

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 175

    •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•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

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 172

    •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

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 171

    •Juliet POV•I turned on the couch, curling tighter into myself as I wrapped my arms over my chest. The breeze from the air conditioner brushed across my skin, cool and biting. I shifted again, trying to get comfortable, but the chill kept creeping in, making sleep harder to hold onto. My eyes fluttered open, and I sat up slowly, blinking at the soft light filtering in through the curtains.The living room was quiet. I rubbed my arms and looked around, confusion settling in. I looked at the phone in my hand to check if Edward had called back but I was met with no calls from him. Edward didn't come home last night. The words echoed in my thoughts as worries settled in. I stood up, brushing my hair out of my face, and was about to head toward the stairs when I noticed a figure on the other couch. My heart skipped.“Edward?” I said, blinking in disbelief.He lifted his head from his palms slowly. His eyes met mine, red-rimmed and tired. There was there was guilt and worry on his face.I

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 170

    •Edward POV•I breathed in the smell of caramel and turned with my eyes still closed. I searched for Juliet in the bed and pulled her close into a cuddle, but something wasn’t right.My eyes snapped open and landed on the unfamiliar room. I looked at the woman sleeping beside me, and froze. It wasn’t Juliet.I jumped to my feet, my heart thudding wildly in my chest. The lady stirred, blinking awake, and that was when it hit me like a nightmare, I was staring at Leyi.“Jeez,” I mumbled as my gaze dropped to my body. I was completely naked. A wave of heat rushed through me, not from shame, but from burning anger. I felt like I could set the whole room on fire with how furious I was. “What did you do, Leyi?”She smiled like this was some kind of joke. “It was such a wild night we had,” she said with a little laugh, standing up without shame. Her naked body flashed before me as she walked over to the bathroom.I didn’t look at her, I reached to the ground to pick up my clothes from the fl
