•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

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 270

    •Vera POV•The clapping felt louder than my thoughts as I stepped onto the stage. My heels hit the floor, and for a second, I almost forgot how to walk. I paused, then laughed softly, lifting my hands.“Okay, okay,” I said into the microphone. “If you people clap any louder, I’ll start shedding tears of joy again, and I don't want to ruin my makeup.”Laughter rolled through the hall, easing the tight feeling in my chest.I took a deep breath and looked around. The lights were bright, but I could still see faces. Smiling faces. Proud faces. Then my eyes found Juliet.She was sitting close to the runway, Jace beside her. She was smiling at me like she always did, calm, steady, like she wasn’t the one who had just changed my entire life.For a moment, my throat tightened.“I didn’t prepare a speech,” I admitted, shaking my head. “Because honestly, I didn’t even know this was happening today.”More laughter followed.“But standing here right now…” I paused, letting my eyes travel around t

    •Juliet POV•The car slowed to a stop in front of a huge building, and Eric pulled into the driveway. Through the car window, I could see the building clearly. It was tall, skyscraper-like, and the shape was exactly how it looked in the pictures Eric had sent to me.“Wow, this building is dope,” Vera mumbled as she stepped out of the car.Eric walked over to open the door for me, and I got out, carrying Jace along with me. He held my hand as he looked up, his eyes fluttering with curiosity.“Okay, this is more than I expected,” Edward muttered, looking at Eric. “You did a great job here.”Eric smiled and looked in Vera’s direction, where she had already started taking pictures of the building.“Jules, you didn’t tell me you knew someone who owns such a prestigious fashion industry,” Vera said, turning to look at me. “I can work for them. Please introduce me to the owner.”I laughed. “Well, I would’ve done that, but I’m looking at the owner right now.”She turned hastily to look behind

    •Juliet POV•“Mommy, can we go to Lana and Theo’s place today?”Jace’s small voice woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly and found him sitting close to me, his little hand resting on my chest as he leaned in to study my face.“My baby,” I murmured, brushing my hand over his chubby cheeks. “We’re going to see your friends, but not today.”He pouted, staring at me with big, curious eyes. “Why, Mommy?”I shifted on the bed and sat up, my eyes flickering toward Edward. He was still asleep. “Because we have an important event to attend,” I whispered. I placed a finger over my lips. “It’s Mommy’s little secret. Promise you won’t tell anyone?”He nodded quickly, and I pulled him into a hug, wrapping my arms around him. We stayed that way for a moment before I stood up. He followed closely behind me.Edward stirred and slowly sat up. “Seems you guys are awake before me.” He smiled. “Hey Buddy, why don’t you come and give Daddy a hug?”Jace turned and walked toward him while I headed into my wal

    {I ended this story at some point with the previous chapter, but then I got this whole excitement that I should continue because I love writing this story and, just like you all, I’m curious about how Eric and Vera’s story would be. So this is the continuation of the story, and it would focus mainly on Vera and Eric. I know you all are as excited as I am, and a big thank you to everyone who has read this book to this point. You all are the major heartbeat of this story.}{One Week After}•Juliet POV•The cool breeze brushed against my face as I climbed down from the car. I pushed the loose strand of hair blocking my view away and exhaled softly, a strange wave of nostalgia settling in my chest as I stared at my mansion in New York.It had been a year in China, and I never expected to feel this relieved. Yet, standing here, looking at the house, my heart swelled with quiet joy.“Mommy, are we staying here for long?” Jace asked, bouncing on his feet, his excitement impossible to hide.E

    •Juliet POV•"Isn't it wonderful," I told Edward as we walked toward the entrance of the mansion. Vera and Eric were a few steps ahead of us, already at the door. I felt Edward’s hand slip into mine, his grip firm and warm. "Vera and Eric are in a relationship… and Vera is pregnant.""Yes, it’s good news," Edward muttered, his tone calm, almost too calm.I turned to him sharply. He didn’t look the least bit surprised. My brows rose. "You knew about it already?"He shrugged, releasing my hand only to rest it on my waist. His touch was gentle, almost apologetic. "Yes, Eric told me one time like that.""Really? And you didn’t tell me?" I frowned, pretending to be angry, though I wasn’t entirely pretending."My love, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you," Edward said softly. His eyes flickered toward mine, but I deliberately refused to look at him. "Eric asked me not to, and I just couldn’t go against that. If they wanted to keep it a secret, I believe they had their reasons."I let out a deep sig

    •Juliet POV•"Is that supposed to be a question or fact?" Vera chuckled, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. She tucked it neatly behind her ear, giving me her full attention."Technically, I’m the happiest human being on earth," I muttered, my eyes glued to the laptop screen. The wave of joy filling my chest made me want to stand up and dance, but I told myself there would be plenty of time for that later.A knock on the door pulled both our gazes toward it. Eric stepped in, holding a notepad instead of his usual tab. His face carried its usual calm expression, but there was a small urgency in his steps."Miss Ryder," he said, "the production team needs your attention in signing the distribution orders." He walked closer, placing the notepad gently on my desk. "Your signature is needed here and here."He pointed to the spaces with the tip of his pen. I reached for one of mine on the desk and quickly scribbled my signature. Eric picked up the notepad and turned to leave, but
