AUGUSTUS

I had always believed power announced itself loudly. Guns. Blood. Fear.

I was wrong.

True power moved quietly.

I saw it first in the ledgers.

Accounts that had existed for decades vanished overnight. Shell companies dissolved. Shipping routes rerouted without explanation. Customs inspections that used to bend at my name suddenly became rigid, almost polite in their refusal. Phone calls I expected returned within minutes went unanswered for hours. Then days.

At first, I told myself it w

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 196

    MARCUSThe storm had passed.Julia’s breathing had evened out against my chest, the last of her quiet tears drying on her cheeks. She was no longer tense or sulking, just soft and pliant in my arms, her body finally relaxing after the emotional rollercoaster. I kept one hand gently rubbing slow circles over her rounded belly, feeling the subtle firmness where our twin sons were growing, while my other arm stayed wrapped securely around her shoulders.She was calm now. Coaxed. Safe.I pressed another kiss to her forehead, then to the tip of her nose, and finally to her slightly swollen lips. She let out a tiny, contented sigh and tilted her head up for more. I obliged happily, kissing her slow and sweet, tasting the salt of her earlier tears mixed with the warmth that was purely her.“You okay now, baby?” I murmured against her mouth.She nodded, her voice small but steady. “Yeah… I’m sorry I got so worked up.”“Don’t apologize,” I whispered, brushing my lips across her cheek. “You’re

    MARCUSI lay beside her on the bed, my hand gently rubbing slow circles over her back and the swell of her belly where our twin sons rested. Julia had pulled the blanket over her head again, but I could still hear the quiet, shaky breaths and the occasional sniffle. Each soft sob twisted something deep in my chest.I hated seeing her like this.“Baby…” I murmured, keeping my voice low and steady. I carefully tugged the blanket down just enough to see her tear-streaked face. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she refused to look at me. “Come on, Julia. Talk to me. I can’t fix it if I don’t know what’s hurting you.”She stayed silent for a long moment, her arms wrapped tightly around her bump as if protecting our boys from whatever was upsetting her. I shifted closer, careful not to put any pressure on her stomach, and pressed a soft kiss to her temple.“I’m right here,” I whispered. “I’m not leaving this bed until you tell me what happened. Was it the nursery? Did I place something wrong

    JULIAThe nursery was almost complete.I had spent most of the afternoon resting on the terrace, occasionally calling out small adjustments while Marcus and the team worked tirelessly. Everything looked beautiful — the blue and green accents, the soft bedding, the mobiles gently turning above the cribs. I should have felt happy and excited. Instead, a heavy, bitter feeling had settled in my chest the moment I saw them.Marcus was standing near the hallway outside the nursery, talking to a woman I didn’t recognize. She was tall, elegant, and dressed in a sleek black blouse and pencil skirt — clearly a designer. She held a tablet in one hand and was laughing brightly at something Marcus had just said. Her laugh was light and melodic, the kind that carried easily down the corridor.What made my stomach twist was the way she casually reached out and touched his arm—a soft, familiar slap, followed by her fingers lingering for a second too long as she leaned in to point at something on her

    JULIAThe next morning, the manor buzzed with quiet activity.The large delivery van had arrived early, and Marcus’s men, along with a team of professional movers and interior specialists he had hired, were carefully unloading everything we had purchased the day before. Crates, boxes, and carefully wrapped furniture pieces filled the wide driveway. I watched from the comfort of a cushioned lounge chair on the terrace, a soft blanket draped over my legs and a cup of ginger tea in my hands.Marcus had been very clear: I was not to lift a finger or move around too much.“You carried our sons for eleven weeks already,” he had said firmly when I tried to stand up earlier. “Today, you sit. You direct. And I will do everything you ask.”So that was exactly what happened.I sat like a queen on the terrace, my very visible twin bump resting comfortably on my lap, while Marcus turned into the most patient, devoted helper I had ever seen. He didn’t complain once. Not when I changed my mind about

    JULIAMarcus arranged for everything to be carefully loaded into a separate black van that had arrived discreetly at the back entrance of the mall. His men supervised the loading with quiet efficiency, making sure nothing was damaged and that the more delicate items were secured properly.I watched from a comfortable bench near the exit, my hand resting on my prominent twin bump. Marcus stood beside me, one arm wrapped securely around my waist, supporting my weight as I leaned into him.“You didn’t have to rent the whole mall,” I said again, though my voice was soft and grateful this time.He pressed a kiss to the side of my head. “I did. And I’d do it again tomorrow if you wanted to go back for more.”Once the van was fully loaded and on its way to the manor, Marcus turned to me with that intense, protective gaze I had come to love so much.“We’re not going straight home,” he said. “You’ve been on your feet most of the day, even if you tried to hide it. I made reservations for dinner

    JULIAOne week had passed since that unforgettable night when I revealed we were having twin boys.The news had settled over the manor like a warm, protective blanket. Marcus had become even more attentive—if that was possible. He made sure I rested more, ate the right foods, and attended every check-up without fail. The word “Daddy” had slipped into our private moments naturally, bringing a spark to his eyes every single time. But today was different. Today was about celebrating our boys in the most tangible way possible.Shopping.Marcus had insisted on taking me out to get everything we needed for the twins. When I suggested going to one of the high-end baby boutiques in the city, he simply shook his head and said, “No. We’re doing this properly.”I didn’t understand what “properly” meant until we arrived at the luxurious shopping mall on the outskirts of the city.The entire mall had been rented out for the day.No other customers. No crowds. Just us, Phoebe, and a small team of M

    JULIAThe gym smelled of sweat and polish, the noise of bouncing basketballs and shouting students filling the space. I carried my books and the extra gym bag, my shoulders tight, my palms burning from the weight. And just as I feared, Terra and her group were waiting.“Look who’s here,” Terra said

    JULIAThe day started like any other, but there was a tension in the air I couldn’t ignore. Terra’s group had been whispering more than usual, eyes darting toward me with sly amusement. I gripped my bag tighter as I walked past, determined not to falter, determined not to give them any satisfaction

    JULIAThe garden was quiet, almost unnaturally so. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns across the stone path, but the warmth did nothing to calm the storm inside me. My heart felt like it had been packed too tightly in my chest, and every step toward the center made i

    PHOEBEThe morning air in the kitchen was heavy with the smell of burnt toast and bitter coffee, but it wasn’t the food that made me tense. It was Julia.She moved slowly, carrying a tray of freshly baked pastries, her fingers brushing the edges with care as if one wrong move would shatter everythi
