JULIA

The walk home felt peaceful in a strange way.

The sky had turned into a watercolor of pale gold and lilac, and the wind brushed softly through the trees, carrying the faint scent of flowers from the nearby garden. After such a long, chaotic day, the quiet felt like a small gift. Each step loosened the tightness in my chest little by little.

For once, I didn’t rush. I let myself slow down, breathing in the calm that came with the fading light.

Maybe today wasn’t kind to me, but this moment

  • From My Ex's Betrayal To His Father's Bed   Chapter 195

    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

    JULIAMarcus held me close for a long moment after I finished pleasing him, his strong arms wrapped around me protectively. His breathing was still heavy, chest rising and falling against my cheek as I rested my head there. One of his hands stroked my hair gently while the other rested on my rounded belly, cradling the twin bump with careful reverence.“You were perfect,” he murmured, voice low and rough from his release. “So fucking perfect for Daddy.”I smiled against his chest, feeling warm and satisfied even though my own body was still aching with need.Marcus pulled back just enough to look at me, his dark eyes searching my face with that intense concern he always carried now. He brushed his thumb over my swollen lower lip, still glistening from taking him.“But we’re not done yet, baby,” he said softly. “You took such good care of me. Now it’s my turn to take care of you.”I bit my lip, heat flooding my cheeks. “Daddy… you don’t have to—”“I want to,” he interrupted gently but

    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 adrenal

    NEROThe noise in the club didn’t register as sound anymore. It was just pressure, like being underwater too long, conversations blurring into a dull vibration against my skull. Glass clinked somewhere near my elbow. Someone laughed too loudly. The bass from the speakers pulsed through the floor in

    TERRAThe silence in my room felt wrong.Not peaceful. Not calm.Empty.I stood in the middle of it, arms crossed tightly, staring at the phone in my hand like it had personally betrayed me. The last post had been up for twenty-three minutes before it vanished. Not flagged. Not buried.Erased.Like

    JULIAThe dress felt heavier than it looked.Not uncomfortable. Not restrictive. Just… significant, like the fabric carried the weight of everything tonight was supposed to mean. I smoothed my hands down the sides once more, more out of habit than necessity, watching my reflection with a calm I did
