•Juliet POV•

Inside the car was silent as Edward drove down the road. I rested my back on the chair with my eyes closed. The image of the first time I saw James kept replaying in my mind, stirring up regret and anger all over again.

I took in a deep breath and exhaled softly, sniffling as I opened my eyes and turned toward the window, resting my hand against it and staring out as the city blurred past.

“How are you feeling now, honey?” Edward asked in a soft tone, like he didn’t want to break the silence.

“I’m fine,” I mumbled, but even as the word left my mouth, it carried the ache that filled my chest. I didn’t think I’d ever be okay, not until I saw James behind bars and my company standing strong again. Not until I could finally look out the window and smile without fear that James was still out there.

Edward didn’t ask further and I assumed he knew I was lying, every time he asked me that, I always did.

My phone beeped. I reached into my bag, pulled it out, and saw notifications

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 281

    •Vera POV•I sat on the bed for a while before deciding to take a shower. The day had been stressful, even though it started well.I took a deep breath to calm myself, telling myself that all this was just happening because of a misunderstanding, and maybe with time, everything would be okay.By the time I came out of the bathroom, Eric walked into the room and sank onto the bed, burying his face in his palms. From the way he looked, I could tell his conversation with his mother didn’t go well.“How was it?” I asked, drying my wet hair with a towel.He looked up at me with a small smile. “Vera, my mother is a difficult person. I feel so bad telling her about our engagement. If I knew she was going to behave this way—”“No, don’t say that, Eric,” I muttered. “It wouldn’t have been nice getting married without your mother knowing.”Eric stood up and walked over to me, taking my hand. “Vera, I don’t want any of this to make you feel bad. If my mother doesn’t want us to marry, then we’ll

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 280

    •Eric POV•I moved my hand around the steering wheel as I drove down the road, my eyes fixed ahead but my mind far away. I couldn’t get my mother’s words out of my head, the way she had spoken to Vera like she was nothing. And the fact that after we talked about it, after I told her clearly that marrying Vera was my decision, she hadn’t said anything again.She had been silent ever since.I glanced at the rearview mirror, trying to read her face, but she looked lost in thought, staring straight ahead without really seeing anything.Vera sat in the passenger seat beside me, her gaze fixed on the window. The streetlights reflected softly on her face as we passed, and the silence in the car made my chest tighten. She was too quiet. Vera was never this quiet.“My love,” I called, lifting my hand from the steering wheel to touch her arm.She turned to look at me with a thin-lipped smile. It was the kind she used when she didn’t want me to ask questions. She was pretending to be happy. I co

    •Vera POV•“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” Juliet asked as we sat on the couch in the reception area. With only a few people around, the space felt too quiet, and outside the glass walls, the sky was already turning dark.“Yes, Jules. I’ll be fine,” I mumbled, staring down at my manicured nails coated with pink gloss. I flexed my fingers slowly, watching how the light reflected on them. “Eric asked me to wait here for him.”She didn’t look convinced. Juliet gave me a sympathetic look and reached for my hand, making me lift my face to hers. “Vera, I know you to be a strong lady. Someone who was there and ready to fight for me when I was going through the James issue. You were mostly my strength then, and now I need you to be strong for yourself and your baby.”I smiled, the kind meant to reassure her more than myself. It wasn’t like I had totally given up on everything because of what Mrs. Lawson had said earlier. I was just… unhappy, confused, and tired.“Thank you, Jules,” I

    •Vera POV•“Congratulations, Vera. You deserve it,” Edward said as he pulled me into a hug.“Thank you, Mr. Miles,” I muttered when we pulled out of the hug. My gaze drifted around the hall, taking in the few people standing around, the smiles, the soft claps. My heart swelled with excitement. I couldn’t believe I had been worried not quite long ago. Look at me now, engaged, pregnant, and standing here like I had my life together.Eric walked over and took my hand. “Let’s take a pic, honey,” he whispered softly as he leaned close to my ear. “I bet you’d want something to show our baby when she grows up.”“Eric,” I chuckled, shaking my head. “She’ll probably ask why her dad looks so proud like he won a medal.”He laughed and pulled me closer, his arm sliding around my waist like it belonged there.Brooke walked over, raising her phone. “Smile for the camera, our latest couple of the year.”I smiled just as the camera flashed. Eric tightened his hold on me, and Brooke snapped the pictur

    •Vera POV•“Let me leave you guys to talk. I need to get on the other designers,” Eric said as he leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips before walking away.Once he was gone, I walked over to the chair and sat down, placing my hand on top of the brown, polished, sleek desk while Brooke stood opposite me.“I’d like to see the sample of designs you sketched for the event,” I said.Brooke stretched out her notepad toward me, and I collected it. “I must say, I was quite impressed by what I saw on the runway.”I flipped through the pages slowly. “This is fine, but it would need a few adjustments. A little slit here and there,” I said, pointing at one of the sketches.The dress was a fitted evening gown, long and flowing, with soft lines that hugged the waist before falling straight to the floor. The top had thin straps and a deep neckline that wasn’t too much, just enough to draw the eye. The fabric looked light, like silk, and the way she sketched the folds made it seem like it would

    •Eric POV•“I didn’t know you already had plans of marrying someone else,” Brooke muttered with a cheesy smile.“How did you know that?” I asked, surprised. I hadn’t mentioned my plans to anyone except my mom, who would be in New York in a few days.Brooke tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she rolled her eyes. “Don’t forget I’m part of the family. Why would everyone in the family know about it and I don’t?”I sighed when it finally clicked who must have told her. “Thelma told you, right?” I arched an eyebrow at her, and she chuckled.“Jeez, that girl doesn’t know when to keep a secret.”“Well, now that I know, I’m happy for you,” she said. Her gaze dropped to the tablet in her hand when it made a slight sound.“I’ve got to go, Brooke. Don’t do anything stupid,” I muttered.She gasped, placing a hand on her chest. “Wow. So hurtful.”I walked through the crowd, my eyes searching for Vera. I spotted her standing at the other side of the hall with Mrs. Ryder and made my way
