•Juliet POV•

"Jules, I'm sorry. I should've seen through that thick skin, that he was nothing more than a devil incarnate," Vera said as we stepped out of the car. All through the ride, she had been cussing James and saying things to make me feel better, but they didn't help.

"Vera, you don't have to keep apologizing," I muttered, walking away from the front door to the fountain at the side of the mansion, the one with the water going up and down, a cool blue and gold shimmer rippling through it. I sat on the edge, feeling my skin crawl as I recalled the look on James' face when he revealed his true colors to me.

Vera took a seat beside me, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Don't think about it too much."

I sniffled and wiped my tears with the back of my palm. "I won't."

But I was lying. His words kept ringing in my ears, louder than Vera's comforting ones. James had deceived me, used me, and the worst part was that I had fallen for it all.

I sat in silence for a while, watching the gen

    •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

    •Juliet POV•When we got back to the hotel, Vera sighed as she collapsed onto the bed."What a day," she muttered, kicking off her shoe. "I feel so bad for Dora’s mom. Now I feel like punching the life out of James."I didn't offer a word. I didn’t know what to say. My mind was filled with so much that if I eventually opened my mouth to say anything, I might break down in tears again.I pulled off my dress and changed into nightwear, then sat on the couch in the room, my head resting on the armrest, gaze fixed on the ceiling. I tried to get past my emotions and calm myself when my phone started ringing.I stood up and walked over to grab it. Seeing that it was Edward calling, I picked up. It immediately switched to video call, and a sweet smile spread across my lips when I saw Jace’s chubby cheeks covering the camera."Mommy, are you there?" he asked, the camera now showing only his little mouth."Yes, baby," I said softly. "Put the camera away from you a little bit so I can see your
