•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

    •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•"Mommy, when will I start going to school with Mila?" Jace asked, his little hand holding onto his pencil as he scribbled on his lesson note."Soon, baby," I replied absent-mindedly, worry lacing through my thoughts. It had been hours since Edward left, and I still hadn’t received a call from him. My eyes drifted to the phone on the table, debating if I should call him or just wait a little longer."But Aunt April said she has me for the rest of the month," Jace added, tilting his head as he looked at me curiously. His blue eyes lingered on me, waiting for an answer. But I was so lost in thought that I barely turned toward him."Mommy," he called again softly, this time more serious. "Did something happen?"I forced a weak smile and finally looked at him. "No, baby, Mommy’s just worried about something. Should we—"A loud scream from the living room cut me off. My heart thudded painfully in my chest, and for a second, I thought I would faint. Before I could gather my thou

    •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
