JULIA

The jewelry mall sparkled so much it almost hurt to look at.

Rows of glass cabinets gleamed with necklaces, rings, and bracelets under bright lights. Everything was shining, glittering, and expensive—like stepping into another world.

I suggested this place without thinking. It just came out of my mouth when Marcus asked, and before I knew it, we were already here.

Now, walking beside him felt unreal.

It was like I was floating through a dream. Or maybe a nightmare. I wasn’t sure anymore.

Every step echoed against the polished floor. My reflection followed me in every glass surface—same face, same hair, but my eyes looked different. Nervous.

I tried to act normal. Really, I did.

But every time I thought about that kiss earlier, my face burned. My heart had been pounding since the car ride, and I still couldn’t figure out what just happened.

I’d never been kissed like that before.

Never even imagined it would be Marcus Lucchesi of all people.

Nero’s father.

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 33

    JULIAThe halls of the academy felt suffocating today. I could sense it before I even entered. Terra was on edge, her group buzzing with whispered plans, her eyes darting toward me with a mix of irritation and calculation. She was furious, and I could feel it radiating off her in waves.Phoebe followed behind, as quiet and vigilant as ever. “Miss Julia… today might be worse,” she murmured.I exhaled slowly, steadying my nerves. “Then we endure,” I said. “And observe. That’s all we can do for now.”Classes passed in tense silence, each period an exercise in careful navigation. Terra’s group tried subtle jabs again: nudges, whispers, minor pranks. I deflected each with calm precision, never giving them the satisfaction of a reaction. Every action I took was deliberate, calculated—small victories layered atop each other.During lunch, the cafeteria was buzzing with its usual chatter, but I noticed subtle changes. Terra’s friends looked nervous, glancing at me more than usual, hesitating

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 32

    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.But today was different. I wasn’t just surviving—I had a plan. Small, subtle, but enough to change the rules, even slightly.First period passed in a blur of notes and quiet observation. Terra sat across the room, smirking, occasionally nudging her friends to whisper something cruel. I ignored them. Instead, I focused on my own work, intentionally completing tasks ahead of schedule, drawing attention not to my mistakes, but my efficiency.It wasn’t much—but it was enough to make one of her friends frown. Small cracks in their armor.During break, Terra’s group cornered me near the lockers. Her smirk was sharper than ever. “Julia, carrying your own books today?” she asked, her tone sweet bu

    JULIAThe morning sun was sharp against the campus, and I walked through the crowded corridors with deliberate calm. Every step, every glance, every movement was measured. Terra’s pre-birthday event had left me shaken, yes, but also determined. I refused to be her puppet anymore, even in the smallest ways.Phoebe followed at a discreet distance, carrying my books as always. She shot me a worried glance. “Miss Julia… are you sure you’re ready for today?”I gave her a small, tense smile. “I have to be”The corridors were buzzing with chatter, and I felt the familiar prickling of stares. Terra’s group spotted me almost immediately. Their eyes followed, the smirks and whispered comments barely concealed.“Look who it is,” Terra called, loud enough to turn a few heads. Her voice was sweet, deceptively so, and it made my skin crawl. “Carrying your own things today? How… independent of you.”I didn’t respond. Not with words. Not with reaction. Instead, I kept my head high, my shoulders strai

    JULIAThe quiet of my room never felt so heavy. The echo of Terra’s laughter, the whispers from the party, the subtle mocking glances, all lingered in my mind like smoke I couldn’t shake. Even hours later, I could still feel the weight of the tray in my hands, the sting of every cruel word, the calculated pleasure in Terra’s gaze.Phoebe sat across from me, unpacking a few things I had left in my bag. She stole glances at me, worried, but said nothing. I appreciated her restraint; she knew I needed space to process, to think, to breathe.I pressed my hands to my temples, trying to sort through the tangled emotions—humiliation, anger, dread, and an unshakable sense of being watched. Marcus. Even now, I could feel him lingering at the edges of my thoughts, an invisible presence reminding me that I was never truly alone, and never truly free.I exhaled slowly, letting the tension ease for just a fraction. Then I started to plan.Terra’s pre-birthday event had shown me her patterns, her w

    JULIAThe night air felt thick with expectation as I approached Terra’s pre-birthday gathering. The mansion loomed ahead, lit with strings of golden lights, music spilling faintly into the garden. I could hear laughter and chatter, the kind of noise that made the world feel alive and cruel at the same time.Phoebe trailed behind me, carrying my small bag. She cast worried glances at me, biting her lip. “Miss Julia… are you sure about this? Maybe we shouldn’t…”I shook my head quickly. “We have to. If we don’t go, Terra will make it worse. She’ll call it cowardice, mock me even more. Tonight, I face it.”Her eyes lingered on me, a mix of concern and awe. “Alright… but I’ll be right behind you.”Stepping into the grand hall, I felt eyes immediately on me. Terra’s friends scattered in small cliques, whispering, some even laughing as I walked past. And there she was, Terra, radiant in a pale pink gown, sparkling under the lights. Her smile was bright, sweet, perfect, but I knew better. Be

    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, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. She circled me slowly, like a predator examining its prey. “Did you miss us, Julia? Or are you still too busy carrying everyone’s things?”I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to keep my head high. Every step I took felt deliberate, calculated. I could feel the laughter and whispers building around me. Phones flashed subtly, recording, documenting another moment of my humiliation.One of Terra’s friends pushed past me, bumping my shoulder deliberately. “Careful, loser,” she whispered. “Wouldn’t want you to drop everything again.”I bit back the words that wanted to come out. I couldn’t give them the satisfaction. I just kept walking, careful not to stu
