Julia’s POV

I hurried downstairs, my bare feet slapping against the marble steps. Jake was here, actually here. As I reached the bottom of the grand staircase, he sprang up from the leather couch and before I could say a word, he closed the distance between us and wrapped me in a hug, lifting me slightly off the ground as I couldn’t believe the fact that my little brother whom I witnessed his birth had just lifted me.

“Jules!” he laughed, his voice muffled against my shoulder. “I can lift you now, I’ve grown muscles.” He exclaimed happily.

“I can see that.” I replied with an excited grin.

I squeezed him back gently. “I missed you too, you dork,” I mumbled, my voice filled with emotion. He set me down, holding me at arm’s length, his eyes scanning me with that protective big-brother look he’d perfected over the years.

“Whoa, hold up,” he said, his brows furrowing as he gave me a once-over. “You’re losing weight, sis. What’s going on? You're not eating or what?”

    Julia’s POVI picked up the call, my thumb hesitating over the screen for a split second before I pressed it to my ear. “Grandpa?” I said, my voice softer, the tension from Alex’s outburst still lingering in my chest.“Julia, my dear!” His warm, gravelly voice flooded through the phone, instantly soothing the edges of my irritation. “I’ve missed you and Alex terribly. It’s been far too long since we’ve had a proper visit.”I leaned against the window frame, my fingers tracing the cool glass as I gazed out at the sprawling gardens below. “I’ve missed you too, Grandpa,” I said, forcing a smile into my voice. “It’s just been… hectic.”“Hectic or not, I want to see my favorite daughter in law,” he teased, and I could picture his face reflecting that mischievous smile. “And Alex, of course. I’ve gone and done something a bit bold, Julia. I’ve booked an appointment for the three of us tomorrow afternoon. I thought it’d be nice for you two to pick out a suitable ring together. The wedding i

    Julia’s POVAs the car continued to move, a sharp ringtone sliced through the silence, and I glanced toward Alex as he fumbled for his phone in the center console. The screen lit up, and from my angle in the backseat, I could make out the name. It was Celeste calling, of course. His lover. I resisted the urge to scoff as he answered, the speaker loud enough for her voice to spill into the car.“Alex, seriously? You haven’t even called to check on me!” Celeste scolded, dripping with entitlement. “I’ve been waiting all day! Do you even care anymore? Since the last time, you haven’t visited either.”Alex sighed, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror, catching mine for a split second before returning to the road. “Celeste, I’ve been busy. You know that. I’ll come check on you soon, okay?”“Busy?! I’m lonely, Alex,” she huffed, her voice dipping into a sultry purr that made my skin crawl. “And… I’ve been horny lately, you know. I miss you.”I rolled my eyes, hard, turning my head to the

    Julia’s POV“Give that to me!” I snapped, lunging forward to snatch Declan’s business card back from Alex’s grip. My fingers clamped around the sleek card, yanking it hard, but the paper resisted for only a second before it gave way. It tore into two, the side with Declan’s number splitting jaggedly as I put it into my purse and zipped it shut. I whirled on Alex, my blood boiling, not caring that we stood in the middle of a bustling mall, shoppers walking around us with bags and curious stares. Though they minded their business. “Stay out of my personal life, Alex!” I scolded, my voice rising. “You don’t get to control me! And besides, you have Celeste, don’t you? So don’t you dare cross that line!” My chest heaved inwardly in anger as I pointed a finger at him. Alex’s eyes widened in shock to my audacity, but I didn’t wait for a response. I turned on my heel, my off-shoulder gown swishing, the slit riding up my thigh as I stormed toward a nearby sales personnel, a young woman in a

  • Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex!   Chapter 101

    Julia’s POVI turned at the sound of the voice as my eyes landed on a man striding toward me. He was breathtaking, about thirty years old, with a chiseled jawline, pink lips, curly hair, attractive and mesmerizing eyes, flawless skin. He screamed luxury. His suit, a tailored black masterpiece, hugged his broad shoulders and tapered down to a lean waist perfectly, the crisp white shirt beneath sharply neat, colliding with the black suit. A silver tie pin gleamed, catching my eye, and his polished leather shoes clicked confidently against the marble floor as he approached. His hair, dark and slightly tousled on one side of his face, with piercing green eyes that is impossible to resist. And behind him, two bodyguards followed, their hulking body clad in matching black suits, earpieces in place, their expressions stoic with an emotionless expression. They were muscular than he was, they looked more like their role. His bodyguards.“Julia, is that really you?” he said, a smile breaking ac

    Julia’s POVReally? What? charity gala? This was good news. But as much as I wanted to attend it, I didn’t let the excitement show in my face. My face stayed angered as earlier, my lips pressed tight as I stared at Alex, his broad body still looming in the doorway of my room. And I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing that excitement. “Get ready, we are leaving for the mall in an hour,” he said and finally turned on his heel, the door clicking shut behind him, leaving me alone. I exhaled, my shoulders slumping in excitement as I glanced around my room, jumping to the bed happily but trying not to scream loud so he doesn’t hear me. I moved to my mirror, the mirror reflecting my tired eyes. I took a quick shower and I brushed my hair, the rough strands falling in loose waves, and dabbed on some makeup, bold red lipstick, a sweep of mascara, a touch of blush. I walked to my closet, fingers trailing over hangers until I landed on the perfect choice, a casual dress. It’s a long,
