•Juliet’s POV•

"Mommy, I don’t feel so good," Jace said softly as I stepped into his room. He sat slouched on the edge of his bed, his tiny arms resting limply on his lap. I immediately walked over and sat beside him, brushing a hand over his forehead, then to his neck.

"What’s the problem, baby?" I asked, concern etched into my voice.

He shifted uncomfortably and sat up straighter. "I just don’t feel like going to school today," he mumbled, avoiding my gaze.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, trying to read between the lines. "Why, baby? Are the other kids giving you a hard time? Or is it Mrs. Bianca?"

He shook his head, his expression solemn. "I just don’t want to go. The other kids at school kept talking about their daddy... but I don’t have one."

My heart twisted at his words. It felt like a sharp pin pricking somewhere deep in my chest. I hadn’t anticipated this, hadn’t prepared for the day Jace would begin to wonder, to question. I thought maybe when he turned ten or fifteen, I’d have

I’m really upset that she won’t tell her son that Edward is his Father. And how foolish of her not to do a background check on James

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 222

    •Juliet POV•“Years ago, when I started Jace Perfume, all I had was myself, my unborn child, a broken heart, and a dream. I was supported by my best friend… and Dora. Who is no longer with us.”My voice caught slightly, but I pushed through. “Everything was finally going well. From a small shop to becoming a company. And then I decided to open my first branch in New York.”I hesitated. “I didn’t know what that decision would cost me, but I wanted to try.”As I continued speaking, my gaze drifted and caught movement near the door. Vera rushed in. I watched her quietly for a moment, then turned back to the camera.“That was when I met James,” I said. “He was one of the top customers then and was doing so much to get my attention. I thought he was a good person. But his intent was never good. He tricked me into giving him the names of my designers. He bribed and threatened them into working for him.”I tightened my hands on my lap. “And when I filed a lawsuit against him… he kidnapped my

    •Juliet POV•Mila took one last sip from her cup before climbing down from the chair. She padded over to meet Vera, who was already standing by the door with Jace.I stood up and walked over to Jace. He let go of Vera’s hand and rushed toward me. I crouched to his level and gently brushed my hand through his curly hair, tucking some of it behind his ear.“Be a good boy for Mommy, okay?” I said softly.“Okay, Mommy,” he replied with a small nod.I pulled him close, wrapping him in a quick hug and kissing the top of his forehead.“I love you so much, my baby,” I mumbled, touching his cheek. He giggled and did the same to mine before turning to follow Vera.Edward who was still seated and eating, turned toward us with a smile. “And Daddy loves you more, kiddo,” he mumbled through a mouthful of food.Jace chuckled and waved, trailing behind Vera and Mila as they stepped out the door.I returned to my seat and took a sip from my tea. Pouring myself another, I glanced up as Eric walked in,

    •Juliet POV•I took in a deep breath and exhaled softly as I sat in the car, thinking of the livestream tomorrow. My mind roamed around the fact that it would be worldwide and that James and his father would definitely see it.The thought prickled my pulse. Fear crept in slowly, tightening my chest. I closed my eyes, trying to breathe, but it felt like I couldn’t. I didn’t want to think about what was going to happen after tomorrow.“My love, I know you’re worried about everything,” Edward said, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned to look at him. His eyes were already on me, soft and steady. “Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”I smiled faintly, looking away from him and out the window, watching the city blur past. “I want to believe that,” I whispered, “but I can’t just let go of the fact that James is dangerous. Tomorrow, I won’t just be exposing him, I’ll be exposing his empire, his father… their pride.”“So what’s the worst that could happen?” Edward asked, his

    •Juliet POV•"I'm thinking an influencer or a celebrity," Vera said, resting her hand on the table as she leaned slightly forward."Yes, but where are we going to find a celebrity who would be willing to do that?" I asked, sinking back into my chair, my voice low with uncertainty."Eric, can you check the internet for any influencer or celebrity in China? Someone like Shannon Blake or Tamara Luyi," Edward said, glancing toward Eric.Eric nodded and started typing on his laptop, fingers moving quickly over the keys."Why don’t we try Shannon or Tamara?" I asked, shifting my gaze to Edward, hope slowly lighting up in my chest.Edward paused, thinking. "I don’t know if they’ll be willing to do it," he said, his voice calm but firm. "If we’re going to find someone to speak for us, we need someone who’s not just popular, but ready to actually stand with us. And from what I know about Shannon and Tamara, they’re both influential, especially with how strong their online following is."Eric l

    •Juliet POV•Edward was standing next to Eric, who had a laptop open in front of him. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand. They were deep in conversation when Vera and I walked into the conference room.“I’m thinking we add an obvious print to the perfume bottles,” Edward said, pointing at the paper. “Something unique. So customers can immediately recognize the original, no matter where they see it.”Eric leaned away from his laptop, placing a hand on his chin as he considered the idea. “That isn’t a bad idea, Mr. Miles,” he said, nodding slightly before turning back to the screen.I stepped further into the room, catching their attention. Edward turned and smiled when he saw me. I settled into the chair at the head of the table while Vera took the seat beside me.“Seems like you guys already started without us?” Vera said with a chuckle.“Not really,” Edward replied, pulling out a chair next to Eric and sitting down. He glanced at me briefly before looking back at the paper h

    •Juliet POV•I stared at my reflection in the mirror and adjusted my blazer top, thinking of what to do. It’s been weeks since Dora’s death, which came as a shock to everyone. After I returned from London, I spent most of my time at home, trying to recover from the pain and guilt of everything, while Vera went to the company with Eric and Edward.But today, I decided to go to the company and finally hold the meeting I’d been wanting to have for a long time. I was still standing by the vanity when Edward walked into the room and made his way to me. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and kissed me on the cheek.“How are you doing, my love?” he asked, staring at me.“I’m fine,” I replied with a smile as I turned, placing my hand on his chest. He lowered his hand to my waist, pulling me close to him.“I’m glad that the phase of you worrying and feeling guilt is over,” he muttered, before pressing his lips softly against mine.I chuckled when we pulled out of the kiss. Edward let go
