•Juliet POV•

I felt a sudden rush of anger in me and was about to say something to her, tears threatening to spill down my cheeks as the thought of my dad came to my mind, but Vera placed her hand on my shoulder, and that was like ice to my fire.

I sniffled, looking away from my mother who was still on the floor, her words blending into a blur I didn’t even want to hear. How could she say that? I had heard my mother talk about my dad in a way that wasn’t good countless times, but hearing her say it at that moment cut deeper than before.

“Mrs. Ryder, I think you should leave,” Vera said sharply, her tone laced with irritation. “Isn’t it obvious that whatever you’re doing is only making things worse?”

My mother looked up, shooting Vera a deadly stare before shifting her gaze back to me. “Juliet, I know you can create a space in your heart to forgive me for all I’ve done in the past.”

“Seems more like the past, present, and future to me,” Vera huffed, rolling her eyes dramatically.

    •Edward POV•"I have a bad feeling about this," Eric muttered after we had spent almost an hour outside, waiting for Leyi’s signal. His voice carried the kind of restlessness that made my chest feel heavier. "If she’s really on our side, she should’ve been out by now.""She’ll be out soon," I said, holding on to the thinnest thread of hope inside me, that Leyi hadn’t deceived me. That I hadn’t been foolish enough to walk us all into a trap.One of the cops who had followed us walked closer. His eyes drifted down to the watch on his wrist before settling on me and Eric. "Are you sure that lady is going to come out?" he asked. "I think we should just go in and search the place."I shook my head, though doubt gnawed at me. "No. Let’s wait a little longer. Whatever she’s doing, it either goes well for us or ends badly for her. Let’s wait."The cop looked at me with tired, frustrated eyes but didn’t argue. He turned and went back to join the others.I leaned against the side of my car, my

    •Edward POV•"Are you sure this is a good idea, Mr. Miles?" Eric muttered, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. His eyes flicked between the road and me. "This could be dangerous. What if this is a setup? I think we should inform the cops, at least they’d come with their guns."I sighed and shoved a hand through my hair, staring out the window at the blur of passing streets. "Calm down, Eric. I’m sure Leyi wouldn’t do that. For her to call me and set up a meeting… it means she might be reacting out of fear."Eric glanced at me again, his brows knitted with worry.I leaned back against the leather seat and closed my eyes, letting his words circle my thoughts. I had already weighed this before leaving the house. I knew I couldn’t fully trust Leyi. And I knew the risk of going to see her without the cops. That’s why I told Juliet. I’d made her promise that if I didn’t come home, or at least call, by a certain time, she should get the cops involved.She was scared, I could see it i

    ・Edward POV・“Cheer up, my love,” Juliet said softly as she rose from the couch and sat closer to me. She took my hand in hers, brushing her thumb gently against my skin. “Don’t worry about James. I’m sure he’ll get arrested soon.”“I hope so,” I murmured, staring into her eyes. “Because I don’t know what I’ll do if James tries to hurt you again.”“He won’t,” she replied with a smile, leaning toward me. “I won’t let him.”I cupped her chin, my gaze locked on her. “I just want everything to be okay.” Slowly, I brushed a loose strand of her hair back and tucked it behind her ear.“And it will be,” Juliet muttered with assurance, though I could still see the slight worry in her eyes. “I’m sure it won’t be long before Leyi calls back. We just have to be hopeful.”I leaned closer, brushing my thumb across her cheek. The gentle smile curving her lips was enough to wash away the storm of thoughts in my head. I tilted forward, kissing her passionately. Her lips parted against mine, soft and w

    •Juliet POV•"I can’t believe Shannon wants to do an opening advert for Jace Perfume, Jules," Vera exclaimed, collapsing onto the three-seater couch with a dramatic sigh. I sat on the one opposite her, crossing one leg over the other as I leaned back. "That girl is just so nice, she’s like an angel."I laughed softly, shaking my head. "I’m glad she is, Vera. People like her are exactly what I need right now. I mean, with her popularity, Jace Perfume will definitely hit the top five again.""Yeah," Vera muttered, exhaling deeply, almost like she was letting something heavy out of her chest. "I just hope James doesn’t get to her."The moment she said his name, the smile slipped right off my lips. Fear crawled its way through me, cold and unsettling. James always had a way of ruining things, of showing up where he wasn’t wanted. The thought of him going after Shannon, made my stomach twist painfully.I was lost in my thoughts, imagining the worst, when a little voice snapped me out of it

    •Edward POV•"Leo, are you sure this is the store?" I asked, staring at the huge shopping mall in front of me through the window of my car.I parked a meter away from it. Jace was sitting in the passenger seat next to me, busy playing with his tab."Yes sir," Leo’s voice came through the speaker. "I saw her walk in there with her son. She does this every Thursday.""Okay. I’m going to walk in and stick to the plan. Thank you for the information," I muttered before ending the call.Sliding the phone into my pocket, I turned to look at Jace. He was still focused on his game, his little face serious as his fingers tapped away. I brushed my hand gently through his curly hair, making him look up at me with those bright eyes."Are you ready, buddy? Let’s go get that Lego set you’ve always wanted."A wide smile spread across his lips. He quickly reached forward, setting his mini tab on the dashboard. "Okay, Daddy."I unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and opened the door for him. Li

    •Juliet POV•"Why, did something happen?" Edward asked curiously, his brows lifting.I shook my head and looked away from the screen. "I just feel like I should thank her for helping with the livestream."Edward lowered his gaze, a small smile tugging at his lips. "That’s not a bad idea. Shannon would be very happy to see you." He placed his phone on the desk and crossed his arms on the table. "When you were still in a coma, she was constantly asking how you were doing."A warm feeling spread through me, thinking about Shannon’s kindness. She had gone out of her way for me, even though she didn’t know me personally. "That’s really nice of her," I whispered. Then I looked at Edward. "Can you please take me to her?""I would’ve loved to, my love, but I promised Jace I’d take him to the toy store today," Edward replied, his tone soft but firm. "Eric can take you."I opened my mouth to respond, but a knock at the door drew my attention. Eric stepped inside, holding a file in his hand. He
