•Juliet’s POV•

Without waiting for her to finish, I stormed toward the elevator opposite the receptionist’s desk and punched the call button with more force than necessary. I heard Vera’s voice calling after me, with Eric's deeper tone trailing behind. But I didn’t stop. The elevator dinged open and I stepped in, slamming the close button before they could catch up.

The doors sealed shut with a quiet thud. I was alone now, with my thoughts, my dread, and the loud pounding of my heart.

I leaned against the mirrored wall, pressing my palm flat against my chest as if I could calm the storm inside. This isn’t real, I told myself. It can’t be real. I wanted to wake up from the nightmare, pinch myself, scream. But I didn’t. The curiosity, the need for truth, it burned hotter than my fear.

When the elevator chimed and slid open, I stepped into a polished hallway stretched ahead, elegant and intimidating, with marble floors that echoed every step I took. At the end stood a set of towering, ma

  • Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss   Chapter 137

    •Juliet POV•My heart skipped a beat, but when I turned and saw it was Jace, I let out a deep breath and exhaled slowly."Baby, you scared the hell out of Mommy," I mumbled, placing a gentle hand on his little arm."Mommy, I was looking for you all night," he said softly. "You weren't in your room.""Baby, Mommy slept in the living room," I replied, pulling him in front of me and resting his head on my lap. I brushed my fingers through his curls. "How are you doing, my love?""I'm fine, Mommy," Jace replied with a chuckle. "But I don't feel like going to school today."I looked down at him with a smile as he turned his face to mine, his blue eyes sparkling under the chandelier light. "Okay, baby. That means you can come along with me to see Mr. Edward."His face lit up with excitement. "Really, Mommy?"I nodded softly. "But first, let’s get you freshened up and dressed."Jace got up from my lap and helped himself off the bed, now standing beside me, clapping his small hands in excitem

    •Juliet’s POV•The buttery taste of the cake wrapped around my tongue like a flash of memory, and I could almost see myself with that same smile I had years ago when Edward bought that same cake for me.The feeling of hope, the expectation, and then the image of him cheating on me and lying to me, flooded my mind. I dropped the cake I’d taken a bite from and quickly gulped down the piece still in my mouth.“Are you okay?” Vera asked when she noticed the look on my face.I nodded with a faint smile. “Yeah, I’m fine.”“Well, you should be. This cake is enough to make anyone be fine. Gosh, Edward really knows how to get to a woman’s heart.”I glanced at Vera with a puzzled expression as she took another mouthful of cake, clearly enjoying herself. I couldn’t stop myself from wondering why she was suddenly speaking so positively about Edward.“Vera, I’ve noticed something weird about you these days,” I said, my voice laced with softness and seriousness.She stopped chewing and stared at me

    •Juliet's POV•The ride to the hospital took longer than expected, and my mind kept spinning with thoughts, mostly fear. I didn’t know why I was feeling that way, but all I knew was that I didn’t want to lose Edward to death.I was so lost in thought, I didn’t even realize we had arrived until Eric pulled into the parking lot and reached over to open the door for me. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, giving the hospital building a glance before walking toward the entrance.The sharp scent of antiseptic filled the air as I entered, and the image of Mrs. Bianca flashed through my mind. I didn’t need anyone to tell me who had killed her—I knew it was James.The hallway was painted in soft whites and pale blues, lined with posters about hygiene and health awareness. The floor gleamed under the fluorescent lights, and nurses in scrubs walked briskly past, their faces tight with focus.Eric walked up to the receptionist, leaning against the counter as he spoke. “We’re here to

    •Juliet POV•I turned on the shower and stepped into the bathroom, letting the warm water run down my body. My eyes fluttered shut as I stood under the spray, feeling the steady stream graze my skin like a soft, comforting touch. The warmth melted into my sore muscles, washing away the tension from the day, a day that had threatened to tear me apart.For a few minutes, I stayed like that, just letting the water fall, grounding me in the moment. I tried not to think. I just stood there, breathing in the steam and silence.Eventually, I turned off the water and reached for a towel, wrapping it around myself. I padded into my bedroom, still dripping slightly, and pulled out a soft, knee-length cream dress from the closet. It hugged me gently, light and breathable. I ran a brush through my hair and pulled it into a simple ponytail before pausing in front of the mirror. My reflection stared back at me, quiet and thoughtful.I exhaled a long breath, the kind that came from deep in my chest.

    •Juliet's POV•It took me a split second to get a grip on myself and realize I wasn't the one who had been shot. I blinked, staring at Edward. He must've rushed in front of me, shielding me from the bullet. My hand flew to my mouth, covering it as I watched him fall to the ground.Blood oozed from his shoulder, and Raya screamed in agony. I crouched beside him, trying to help him up but I couldn’t. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion, until it all faded out and Raya’s scream filled the living room.“Eddy! It’s all your fault, Juliet! You killed him!” Raya stormed in my direction, trying to pounce on me, but one of the men instinctively pulled her back.“I hate you, Juliet! You were never my sister. I hate you!” she screamed as she was dragged out of the mansion.“Please help him,” I cried, clutching Edward’s hand. My hands trembled, my heart thudding wildly as I stared at the blood on his shoulder.“Juliet… I’m fine,” Edward winced, forcing a small smile as he tried to s

    •Juliet POV•"I'm sorry, Jules," Vera said as she struggled with the man holding her back. "I thought he was going to hurt you, and he wasn't going to give you Jace.""Vera, please don't apologize," I told her, my voice laced with anger as I looked toward Edward. I could only blame him for bringing the cops. If he hadn't, I would’ve walked out of this place with my son and wouldn’t have had to go through all this.Edward sniffled as he ruffled his shoulder, trying to pull out of the man's hold, but he couldn't. James walked away, leaving us alone with his men, and when he came back, he had a glass of liquor in his hand, taking a slow sip from it."I'm pissed as fuck, and I'm not going to spare any of you," he groaned, staring at the cops. He signaled for one of his men to come closer. "Get rid of the cops, that guy, and this lady. I'll handle the two lovebirds myself.""No, James. Please don't hurt Edward. I don't care if you kill Juliet, but leave Edward out of this," Raya said, her
