JULIA

The message reached me in the middle of a conversation that had nothing to do with danger.

Phoebe was halfway through a dramatic retelling of something trivial, her hands moving like she was conducting an orchestra only she could hear. I was laughing, actually laughing, the kind that loosened my shoulders and made the room feel warm instead of watchful.

Then my phone buzzed.

I almost ignored it. Almost.

But something in the timing, in the way the vibration felt too sharp against the tabl

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 153

    TERRAThe worst part wasn’t the fear.It was the waiting.Waiting made everything louder. Every thought sharpened until it cut, every doubt clawing at the edges of my mind like it wanted to tear its way out. I hated it. I hated the stillness, the way time stretched when I needed it to move.I paced across my room, heels clicking against the marble, the sound echoing back at me like a countdown. My phone sat on the vanity, screen dark, but I kept glancing at it anyway, as if looking might force it to light up.It would happen soon.It had to.Because if it didn’t, if this plan failed the way the others had begun to, then everything my mother warned me about would become real. I would fade. I would become background. A name people used to whisper about with pity instead of respect.And I refused to let that happen.A soft knock came at the door before it opened. Livia stepped inside, her expression tight, eyes scanning the room like she expected to find chaos spilled across the floor.“

    JULIA The message reached me in the middle of a conversation that had nothing to do with danger.Phoebe was halfway through a dramatic retelling of something trivial, her hands moving like she was conducting an orchestra only she could hear. I was laughing, actually laughing, the kind that loosened my shoulders and made the room feel warm instead of watchful.Then my phone buzzed.I almost ignored it. Almost.But something in the timing, in the way the vibration felt too sharp against the table, made me glance down. A message notification. Unknown number, but not entirely unfamiliar.I opened it.I don’t know exactly what Terra’s planning, but it’s public and soon. Be ready.For a second, the words didn’t register. They just sat there, black text on a bright screen, disconnected from reality.Then the meaning settled.My laughter faded before I realized it had stopped.Phoebe noticed immediately. She always did.“What is it?” she asked, voice softer now.I turned the phone toward her

    NEROI knew something was wrong before anyone said it out loud.Not because of rumors. Not because of whispers. Those were always there, shifting like background noise you learn to ignore. It was the silence between them that gave it away. Conversations cutting off when I entered a room. Messages that used to come easily now arrive delayed, filtered, cautious.Terra was moving again.And this time, she wasn’t hiding it well.I stood on the balcony outside my apartment, the city humming below, neon bleeding into the night like a wound that refused to close. My phone felt heavier than usual in my hand, screen lit with half-read messages from contacts I trusted less with every passing day.Most of them said the same thing in different words.She’s reaching outside the circle.She’s desperate.This could get ugly.I should have felt loyalty. Instinct. The old pull that had kept me orbiting Terra for years, convinced proximity to her meant proximity to power.Instead, all I felt was exhaus

    MARCUSBy the time the last guest left, I already knew.Not the details. Not the exact shape of what Terra was planning next. But the shift was there, unmistakable, like a change in air pressure before a storm breaks. You learn to recognize it when your life depends on patterns.And Terra had just stepped out of pattern.I stood alone in the private lounge off the ballroom, jacket draped over the back of a chair, the low hum of cleanup echoing faintly through the walls. My phone lay on the table in front of me, screen lit with a steady stream of updates from three different channels.None of them panicked.That was the first confirmation.If she had tried something immediate, something reckless, I would be seeing alarms, not quiet data. Instead, what I saw were small movements. Contacts reaching out. Minor financial shifts. A few digital footprints that didn’t belong to anyone in my circle.Preparation.I leaned back slowly, folding my hands. Terra was not retreating. She was repositi

    TERRAThe silence in my car felt louder than the gala ever did.No music. No phone calls. Just the faint hum of the engine and my own breathing, too sharp, too uneven, breaking the illusion of control I had held together all night.It wasn’t supposed to go like that.The plan had been airtight. The timing is perfect. The material was damaging enough to plant doubt even if Marcus tried to contain it. But instead of chaos, there had been… nothing. A flicker. A moment. Then the room moved on as if I had never tried to rip her world open.As if I didn’t matter.My nails scraped against my palm again, harder this time, until the sting grounded me. I welcomed the pain. It was proof I still had something real left.Beside me, Livia stared straight ahead, her posture rigid, lips pressed into a thin line. She hadn’t said a word since we left, which was worse than any lecture. My mother’s silence meant calculation, and calculation meant she was deciding how much of tonight’s failure belonged to

    JULIAThe laughter in the room didn’t reach me. It echoed around, but my chest felt heavy, as if every polite smile and soft conversation carried a shadow I couldn’t ignore. I had seen Terra’s plan unravel in seconds, had watched Marcus regain control so smoothly it felt effortless, but the adrenaline didn’t fade. It lingered, sharp and raw, like a bruise no one could see.I pressed my hands lightly against the table in the corner, fingers trembling without meaning to. Phoebe appeared beside me instantly, hand brushing mine in that small, grounding gesture that had saved me more times than I could count.“Julia,” she said softly. “You’re fine. Look at me. You’re fine.”I forced a smile, nodding, but inside, everything was unsettled. I had survived. The attack hadn’t touched me physically. But it had touched something deeper, the edges of fear that lingered no matter how strong I felt. And now I realized how close it had come.“Are… are you sure?” I asked, voice lower than I intended.
