Julia’s POV

Alex’s audacity was unbelievable. Who was really his plug? Speaking to me as if I were some glorified housekeeper tasked with making Celeste’s visit pleasant. Well, I wasn’t surprised. My jaw clenched, and a cold edge sharpened my voice as I snapped back at him. “If Celeste wants to feel comfortable, that’s her responsibility, not mine.”

His eyes narrowed casually, as if he was expecting such a response from me but I didn’t wait for a response. I turned on my heel, leaving the room. I didn’t need to see his frustration to know it was there, simmering beneath his weakened state. Let him deal with Celeste. I had no intention of playing host to her whims. How about he gets married to Celeste instead? Walk up to grandfather Sterling like the grown man he was and announce to him he wants Celeste instead and not me.

Later that evening, I am in the sitting room, sprawled across the couch with Jake. The TV flickered with some mindless reality show, the kind where people screamed

    Julia’s POVI opened the door, standing in front of it, my hand still gripping the knob as I faced Celeste. Her glossy blonde hair caught the hallway light, and her perfectly manicured nails tapped lightly against the polyntin bag she held. Her lips curved into a smile. “What do you want?” I asked. the residue of my earlier irritation with Alex still simmering inside of me. And her visit to my room? I knew something was off but I was yet to find out.Celeste’s smile widened, syrupy sweet, as she tilted her head slightly. “Oh, Julia, don’t be like that. I just came to apologize for Alex’s behavior earlier. You know how he gets sometimes.” She paused, her voice softening. “I think that fall might’ve rattled his head a bit. You shouldn’t take his words too seriously.”I stared at her, my jaw tightening as I was losing my patience. The audacity of this woman, standing here acting like she was doing me a favor by explaining Alex. As if I hadn’t known Alex's tactics than she had. As if I ne

    Julia’s POV“Sure, I’ll be there,” I replied over the phone, my voice sounding sweet as smiles filled my lips at Declan’s invitation. His family was throwing a party to celebrate his newly earned medical degree, and the excitement in his voice was contagious. I could picture the event already.I ended the call with a smile, but it barely had time to settle before Alex’s voice cut through the room possessively. “Why are you going to see Declan?”My head snapped toward him. He was still on the couch, Celeste perched beside him, but his eyes were locked on me, burning with something I couldn’t quite name. Jealousy? Possessiveness? Whatever it was, it made my skin prickle in irritation.“What’s it to you?” I shot back, crossing my arms. The audacity of this man. He had Celeste practically glued to his side, feeding him orange slices and planning their gala entrance, yet here he was, acting like he had any claim over my plans.Alex’s jaw tightened, his hand pausing mid-air as he reached fo

    Julia’s POVAlex stirred on the bed, his face still pale but hardening with that stubborn resolve I knew too well. He tried to sit up, one hand flying to his head as he winched in pain.“Easy, boss,” Cornel said, stepping forward. He placed a hand on Alex’s shoulder, guiding him back toward the pillows. “You took a nasty fall. Don’t go playing the tough guy just yet.” Cornel added.Alex waved him off, though his movements were weaker than usual. “I’m fine, Cornel. Just a headache.” His eyes darted to me, then scanned the room, landing on Declan again, who was quietly gathering his medical kit by the chair.Declan’s gaze moved up, catching the tension that seemed to pulse between us all. He cleared his throat. “I’ll give you some space. Alex, take it slow, alright? Julia, call me if anything changes.” He slung his bag over his shoulder, offering a quick nod before slipping out the door.I watched him go. Alex shifted again, this time managing to sit up straighter. Before I could say a

    Jake’s POVJulia was on her knees as she tried to help Alex up, her fingers gripping his shoulders like she could will him back to consciousness. “Come on, Jake,” She glanced up at me. “Jake! Help me! just help me get him up!”My heart was a furnace, fury bubbling over as I watched her fuss over him. The sight of her so soft-hearted, only stoked the flames of anger in me. Let him suffer, a dark part of me hissed. Alex didn’t deserve her worry, not after everything. But Julia’s pleading eyes pinned me in place, and I couldn’t just stand there.“Fine,” I muttered, stomping over. I crouched beside her, grabbing Alex’s arm like I was actually going to try. His dead weight felt satisfying for a split second, like I was holding proof of my small victory. I tugged halfheartedly, letting my arms go slack. “He’s too heavy, Jules. I can’t lift him.”“Jake, please,” she snapped, her voice sharp now, not just worried but annoyed. She shot me a look that said she wasn’t buying my act, but she did

    Jake’s POV“Jake, please, just… keep it down,” Julia hissed, her eyes darting toward Alex, who stood like a statue at the bottom of the staircase. His hands were still in his pockets, his face a filled of infuriating calm, like my outburst was just a breeze he could ignore. I could feel my blood boiling, my fists clenching at my sides, but Julia’s hand grabbed my arm, her grip firm but not painful.“Not here,” she said. “Come with me.”I wanted to argue, to keep laying into Alex, to make him feel the weight of every single thing he’d put my sister through. But the look on her face stopped me. I let her pull me as she led me through to one of the guest rooms. She pushed open a door, revealing a room that was bigger than my entire room back home. A massive bed with crisp white bedsheets and white curtains sat against the windows, and a sleek desk with a vase of fresh flowers was tucked in the corner. The room was painted white as Julia gestured for me to sit on the bed.“The maids will
