•Juliet POV•

James slowly pulled away from the kiss, our faces still only inches apart. Droplets of water trickled down his forehead, catching the glint of moonlight. His eyes, burning with something deeper than desire, met mine with a quiet intensity. As his hands stayed on my waist, warm and firm under the surface of the water.

“Juliet,” he murmured, his voice low, almost uncertain. “I've been waiting to get a response from you, I just want to know that you'll be my girl?”

I blinked, my heart slamming against my chest. A mix of emotions swelled within me, joy, nervousness, a flicker of fear. But as I looked at him, wet hair plastered to his forehead, tattoos glistening, and those amber eyes holding only me in their gaze, I felt a calm wash over me.

A small laugh escaped my lips as I rested my hand on his shoulder, the muscles beneath my palm taut with anticipation.

“Yes,” I whispered, smiling up at him. “I just hope you won’t break my heart.”

James’s expression shifted, the corner o

    •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

    •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
