Julian’s pov

I pressed the bridge of my nose between my fingers. "Let’s just drop it,” I growled. "Don’t mention it. Don’t ask about it.”

Carlos scowled, evidently displeased. "I have to know who he…”

I whirled around to face him releasing every bit of frustration, rage and fatigue I was feeling. "Don’t push me now!" I shouted, my voice reverberating faintly in the room. "I’m angry. Got it? I don’t want your nosiness, I don't want your questions. I don’t want you aggravating this situation.”

Carlos’ face relaxed a bit, the intensity in his eyes fading. "Okay… okay " he whispered, his tone becoming more cautious. "Shall we… shall we pick up from where we stopped?”

I shook my head, my tone icy. "No. Just… leave. I need some peace at the moment.”

He moved nearer, extending his hand as he always did when he was trying to seduce me. But I wasn’t in the mood.

“Carlos… leave!" I shouted, recoiling quickly my hands lifted as though to shove him aside. "Leave my office. Immediately!”

    Julian’s povShe had an awkward smile on her face as she came close to the table to drop the box before walking out.“What is all this?” I asked as Carlos sighed while dropping down into a chair across my desk.“I’m trying to make a good impression. Is it working?”I didn’t even know what to say. Him being here with all of this was… a bit surprising to say the least.“How was your day? I want to know everything.”I cut the call and dropped my phone on the table. “What are you really doing here man?”“I’m here to see you, babe.”“No, don’t call me ‘babe.’ Just call me Jules or Julian. In fact, I don’t even know which one to answer anymore.”“That’s where ‘babe’ comes in, we’re in a relationship now. Let me just call you that.”“Nevermind that, just call me Jules. End it there. Babe is a bit too intimate.”He gave me a naughty smile. “Yesterday was quite intimate between the both of us.”“Okay. First off, no more sex jokes. And number two, do not talk about what happened yesterday. It

    Julian’s povI entered my house and then found my mom talking to the butler. It seemed like she was asking him questions based on who the visitor who had arrived was. She saw me and then she smiled at me.“Hey, good morning. How are you doing?”I wasn’t in the mood for her optimistic attitude, but I tried my best to return her smile“I’m fine, Mom. How are you?”She nodded. “I’m okay. I have to go to the hospital today and I want you to take me there.”That was impromptu. “What’s going on? Are you okay?”I was already starting to panic. Was something up with her that I wasn’t knowing about? I had been too absent from her to notice if she was sick or healthy.”“We haven’t spent enough time together, Jules. Ever since that court case, it’s like you’ve been avoiding me like a plague. Like I would say something and ruin your entire life.”I gave her a small sigh. A tired one. “Mom, I’m not avoiding you. I just don’t know what to say to you half the time.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” S

  • His Second Husband    Chapter 120

    Julian’s povThe next morning, a knock came on my door as I sat up, my head banging with the sun rays not making it any better for me. I heard someone talking outside my door as I got up, wore my briefs hanging on a chair, seeing as I was naked, and I walked to the door. The moment I opened it, I found my butler there arguing with Carlos.I frowned.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked him.He shrugged. “Sir, I’m really sorry I couldn’t stop him.”“ I came on my own,” Carlos said. He looked at the butler. “I’d like to talk to your boss alone now.”The butler then looked at me as I gave a small sigh. I was really having a heavy headache right now.“Why don’t you go downstairs and make us a drink? Possibly mine with coffee and his own made with poison. That would be great.”The butler was confused at what I said and looked to Carlos, who nodded at him.“I’m not taking anything, thank you.”The butler nodded and walked out.“Can we talk?” Carlos said.“What do you want, Carlos? I

  • His Second Husband    Chapter 119

    Julian’s povI didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry hearing him say that. He had the balls to show up and to say this rubbish. After all he had done to me in the past. I was someone who didn’t like to hold on to the past for too long. But with what this guy had done to me, with what Silas had done to me, I couldn’t trust anybody again. Anything relationship, I don’t want to hear it. I’m out. They had destroyed what was left of my sanity. Now they thought they could just show up and say anything they want to say? Did Carlos think this was going to be easy?He was handsome. Looking at him, he was easy on the eyes. He had the body, the pecs, his dick was big, he was muscular, his smile was something that could swoon any guy and girl too. If he wanted to bag girls, he could bag girls.But what he had taken from me was too much and I just wanted to be away from him. Anything that had to do with his actions towards me, I wanted to be far away from him as possible.I had made the stupid m

    Julian’s povI stayed in the study for a while before rubbing my temple and knowing that I wasn’t going to get my answers by locking myself away in this room.I needed to know why he was back. Carlos was here for something. What it was… I had no idea. But I was going to find out.My phone buzzed as I took it out of my pocket to find out it was a message from him, asking for my forgiveness and whatnot. This man still didn’t know what giving up meant.“Fuck,” I heaved before leaning against my take and looking at the painting on the wall.That was one of my first paintings. I could remember going around trying to sell it for something… anything that could give me some money to feed at the time. In this art business, I’ve realized that once you’re poor and you ask for favors, you won’t get any if you don’t have money. Only the rich break out in this business.Now I had money, I had so many people clamoring for it. Before, they called my paintings trash, now it was called revolutionary.

    Julian’s povEvery part of me fought against answering that call. Yet my curiosity pushed me to find out the reason behind his call. There had to be a reason. I hit the side of my head with my glass as I wondered why I was falling for his petty tricks. This had to be one of them.Finally, after much thinking, I grabbed the phone, glanced at the display then exhaled before responding.“What?" I responded plainly.His laughter echoed from the speaker. "You’re more blunt than I recall. I expected more warmth from you seeing why we went through in the past.”I shrugged, swirling the liquid in my glass. "Perhaps it’s because I’ve become as cold as all of you. Maybe you’re so confident in your skills that you overlook the fact that some of us can mirror the same actions back at you. Is that shocking to you? Because from my end I feel fine.”He exhaled deeply. "Jules… I know that you’re upset with me...”“No. Don’t you dare say that to me. You know nothing about me.”“Jules…”“Don’t act like
