Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 130
Julia’s POVI glared at Mr. Victor, the air between us filled with unspoken tension. My gaze flicked to Declan, who stood beside me now, his lips curved into a familiar, easy smile that didn’t quite mask the sharpness in his eyes. Those eyes darted between me and Victor, reading the scene with that uncanny intuition he’d always had. I opened my mouth, trying to form words, but my tongue felt clumsy, tangled in the chaos of the moment.“I…I’m sorry, Mr. Victor,” I managed, my voice tight but steadying as I clutched my portfolio tighter. “I have other things that need my attention at Julison.”Victor’s expression shifted, the warmth in his eyes cooling slightly, though his smile remained. “Of course, Julia,” he said, his voice smooth but obvious with something I couldn’t quite place. Maybe disappointment, perhaps, or restraint. “I understand.” He added. Before I could respond, Declan spoke. “Actually,” he said, “I just got a call from Jake. Scarlett’s in the hospital, and they need you

Julia’s POVThe glass doors of the meeting room loomed ahead. My heels clicked against the marble floor, each step echoing in the cavernous hallway as I approached the boardroom. The pink rose, still clutched in my hand. I shoved it into my portfolio, hoping to bury the memory of Declan’s spectacle in the parking lot. My pulse hadn’t quite settled, but I forced my shoulders back, smoothed my pencil skirt, and pushed open the door.The boardroom was a sleek, modern space, all glass, with a long mahogany table dominating the center. A dozen faces turned toward me as I entered, their expressions a mix of curiosity and professional neutrality. The air conditioning underscored the quiet murmur of voices. At the head of the table stood Mr. Victor, his presence commanding as always, his suit impeccable, the silver cufflinks catching the light as he adjusted his tie. He looked up, and his eyes locked onto mine, a faint smile curving his lips that sent a shiver down my spine, not entirely plea

Julia’s POVI reached the parking slot of the meeting building and parked my car into an empty space near the glass-front entrance where the security directed me. My fingers flexed around the steering wheel as if they were reluctant to let go. This was supposed to be my big moment, a chance to focus on business, on progress, on something that didn’t involve Alex’s accusations or Celeste’s conveniently timed collapse.I switched off the engine, exhaled, and grabbed my leather portfolio from the passenger seat. One more breath. The kind that’s supposed to reset your mind but It didn’t work. I still stepped out though. I pushed open the driver’s door, swung one leg out, and that’s when I saw Declan.He was kneeling right there in the narrow strip of asphalt between my car and the next one, one knee bent dramatically, his back straight. In his hand, he held a single pink rose. The stem was long, wrapped with a thin white ribbon. His expression was loving, a smile that reached his eyes, th

Julia’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the gauzy curtains of my bedroom. I’d woken early, my body heavy with the weight of last night’s mistakes. The memory of Declan’s tear-streaked face lingered like a bruise as I dragged myself out of bed. My reflection in the mirror was a stranger’s dark circles under my eyes. I splashed cold water on my face, hoping to wash away the guilt, but it clung to me.I dressed carefully, choosing a tailored navy blazer and a white blouse, paired with a pencil skirt that hugged my hips just enough to look professional but not provocative. The Nexus Project meeting was today, and Mr. Victor had personally invited me to join the investors at his sleek downtown office. This was my chance to prove myself, to show I was more than the chaos of my personal life. I slipped on my heels, the sharp click against the floor as I ran a brush through my hair, pulling it into a low, neat bun. A quick swipe of lipstick, nothing too bold and I grabbed my leather port

Julia’s POVThe air in my bedroom was filled with the scent of sweat and the lingering heat of our bodies. The sheets were tangled around my legs, a chaotic reminder of what had just happened. Declan lay beside me, his bare chest, his dark hair disheveled against the pillow as he panted. We had gone three rounds. His arm was draped lazily across my waist, his fingers tracing slow, absent circles on my skin. The moonlight spilled through the open window, casting silver streaks across his face, illuminating the intensity in his eyes as he looked at me.I turned my head away, staring at the ceiling, trying to ignore the weight of his gaze. My heart was still racing, not just from the physicality of what we’d done but from the guilt clawing at my chest. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Not again.“Julia,” Declan’s voice was soft, almost pleading, as he propped himself up on one elbow. His fingers brushed a strand of hair from my face, but I flinched, pulling back slightly. “You can’t keep

Alex’s POVMy voice came again, but this time, I didn’t knock. The door to Julia’s room loomed in front of me. My hand hovered over the wood, fingers curling into a fist, whether to knock again but I let it drop. I was done begging for her attention. “Julia,” I called. “I’m heading to the hospital to see Celeste. If you feel like it, why don’t you sneak out while I’m gone? Go meet some other guys like you always used to. Seems like that’s what you’re good at lately.”The words tasted weird and too harsh but I didn’t take them back. I turned on my heel as I stormed down the stairs. The front door slammed behind me as I stepped into the cool night air. My breath puffed out in a cloud, and I shoved my hands into my jacket pockets, heading to my car. Julia could do whatever she wanted. I was done trying to hold onto something that kept slipping through my fingers.The drive to the hospital was a blur of streetlights and the low song of the car radio, some old rock song I didn’t bother to
