Julia stared at the image until the room felt too small to hold her breathing.

Vanessa’s lips against Brandon’s cheek. The angle intimate, the framing cruelly precise. Cropped so that Julia’s hand—interlaced with his only seconds earlier—was gone. Cropped so that the moment looked chosen instead of staged.

She sat on the edge of the bed, phone balanced in her palm like a weight. The apartment was dark except for the city glow bleeding through the windows, rain ticking softly against the glass. Each drop felt counted. Each second stretched.

It’s nothing, she told herself.

That was the problem. Nothing had never been this loud.

Her mind did what

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 148: The Kindest Cruelty

    Arthur doesn’t look relieved when he sees Julia. He looks careful.They meet in a quiet private room off a legal café downtown, the kind of place designed to look neutral and fail at it. Glass walls, muted light, the hum of other people’s problems leaking through. Julia sits across from him with her coat still on, spine straight, expression composed enough to be mistaken for calm.“This isn’t about leaving Brandon,” she says before he can speak. “If that’s what you think, say it now so I can walk out.”Arthur studies her for a long moment. “Then don’t walk out.”He slides a folder across the table, not opening it. Not yet. “This is about fallout. Containment. Damage that’s already in mot

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 147: If Love Costs You Everything

    Julia reads the word annulment three times before it becomes real.The paper trembles faintly in her hands, though her face stays still. Corporate risk statutes. Reputational exposure. Financial liability. Her name appears not as a wife, not as a person, but as a variable to be eliminated.She sits on the edge of the bed, morning light cutting across the room in pale stripes. Brandon stands a few feet away, saying nothing, watching the way her shoulders slowly draw inward as if bracing against a wind only she can feel.“They quantified me,” she says finally, voice flat. “Like I’m a bad investment.”“Julia—”

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 146: The Papers Between Us

    The envelope is heavier than it should be.Brandon feels it the moment his assistant places it on his desk, the thick cream paper stamped with legal insignia he knows too well. No preamble. No courtesy call. Just the weight of intent, pressed flat and merciless.He doesn’t open it right away. He stares at the skyline beyond the glass wall, jaw locked, pulse slow and dangerous. When he finally breaks the seal, the words don’t surprise him—only the speed does.Filed for annulment under corporate risk statutes. Immediate injunction. Joint assets frozen. Public appearances suspended until further review.“Christ,” he breathes.This isn’t about legality. It’s leverage. The board isn’

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 145: The Marriage That Refused

    Silence lives between them like a third presence, heavy and deliberate.Julia sits on the edge of the bed, robe tied too tightly, fingers worrying the fabric as if it might unravel on its own. Brandon stands by the window, city lights flickering across his face, phone dark in his hand for the first time in hours. No calls. No lawyers. Just the quiet aftermath of choice.“I keep waiting for the next hit,” he says without turning. “The email that blows everything apart.”Julia swallows. “Me too.”The silence returns, thicker now. It isn’t anger that fills it—worse, more fragile. Fear. The kind that waits, patient and sharp, promising consequences.“They’ll come for you

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 144: Annulment

    The document arrives just after dawn, slipped beneath the penthouse door like a quiet threat.Julia sees it first—thick cream paper, embossed seal, the weight of authority pressing through the envelope. She doesn’t open it immediately. She stands there barefoot on cold marble, coffee untouched in her hand, heart already racing as if it knows.When Brandon comes out of the bedroom, tie half-knotted, phone pressed to his ear, he stops mid-step.“What is it?” he asks.She hands it to him without a word.He doesn’t sit. He doesn’t breathe. He reads standing, shoulders squaring with every line, jaw tightening until the muscle jumps. The silence stretches, sharp and brittle.

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 143: The Almost Goodbye

    Julia writes the letter at the kitchen counter while the city breathes outside their windows.It starts formal, restrained—language she learned long before love complicated it. This decision is made with respect. Her fingers hesitate, then continue. The words feel heavier than contracts, heavier than court filings. This isn’t a resignation from a job. It’s from a life that has learned to bruise them both.She doesn’t cry. She can’t afford to. Each sentence is a controlled incision, clean and careful. For the sake of stability. For the sake of what you’re fighting. She reads it back once, jaw tight, heart pounding so hard it blurs the margins.
