•Edward POV•

“Daddy, where is Mommy?”

Jace’s voice rang in my ear, pulling me out of sleep. My eyes opened slowly, and I found him sitting beside me on the bed, his small hand resting on my chest.

I reached for him and tried to pull him close, wanting him to lay on my chest, but he didn’t budge. His eyes were already full of tears as he looked around the room, confused and scared.

I sighed, brushing a hand over my face, then ran my fingers gently through his hair and down to his cheek. His skin was warm and soft. The thought of telling him what had happened felt like a stone crushing my chest.

“Hey, buddy, don’t cry,” I whispered, wiping his tears with the palm of my hand. His little sniffles broke the silence.

“Where is Mommy?” he asked again, his blue eyes locked on mine, searching for an answer I didn’t want to give.

I looked away for a moment, gathering the strength to speak. Then I looked back at him. “Jace… your mom’s not here right now,” I said softly. “She’s at the hospital.”

    •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

    •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
