Julia’s POVI placed my hand on my head, slightly pressing my temples as if that would somehow force my memory to work. Celeste’s birthday. When was it again? It was right there, just at the edge of my mind, but the more I tried to grasp it, the more it slipped away.Then, a memory flashed into my head.Alex had once handed me a set of gifts that Celeste didn’t want. He had handed a green velvet little box to me, nonchalantly.“Since Celeste doesn’t want these, she suggested I give them to you instead. You should thank her.”While holding the box, I stared at the box, my fingers caressing around the packaging with a smile. Even though it wasn’t directly bought for me, I cherished it considering the fact it was Alex who had given it to me. “Thank you.” I said but his response was cold.“There’s no need for that.” He added. He had walked away immediately, as if the mere act of giving me something was an inconvenience.I carefully studied the box before opening it and to my surprise, it

Julia’s POVI stepped closer to Scarlett. “What has Alex done to you?” I questioned, my voice filled with confusion but Scarlett didn’t give me any answers.She swiftly and happily circled me as she caressed my hair, pushing away some strands that covered my face in a messy way with gentleness. This was the part of Scarlett I had never seen. Why be so sweet all of a sudden? At this point, I knew something was fishy.Shortly, she broke the silence.“Sweetheart, there's going to be a press conference,” she said, her tone calm. “Your presence is needed.” She took a sip of her drink and then she took a few steps towards the window, her expression all looking really excited.I took a few steps closer, searching her face. “What’s going on? And what press conference? What's happening?” Scarlett turned to me. Instead of giving me answers, she said something else.“Care for a drink?” Seriously? “You don't get to offer me a drink when you haven't given me an answer.” I said. “Fine! I'll tak

Julia’s POV Alex’s last statement crawled at my skin. The urge to scream, to yell out my frustrations, intensified. But I didn’t want to create a scene, not when Jake was here.I stumbled into the kitchen and switched off the gas cooker. “Let’s go home.” I declared. Jake didn't argue or say another word. He just took off the apron and followed me. We entered the room Scarlett was in only to find her eating some snacks while she watches a television show.“You are coming with me.” I said as Jake approached and took Scarlett's few belongings. “It’s time to leave.” Scarlett looked hesitant, her face twisting into sadness as she spoke. “Just a little time. The show will be over soon.” Her words fell on deaf ears. I watched as Jake helped you pull her up as she reluctantly followed us out of the building. I drove them home.Later that night, before going to bed, I thought of checking on Jake in his room. I reached. I pushed open the door quietly, half-expecting him to be asleep. But J

Alex's POVThe thought of Julia agreeing to my terms made me feel satisfied. I know she would, not when it involves Jake. The thought of it made my lips curve out a smile.Suddenly, my ringing phone shattered the moment. I looked at the screen to see it was grandpa calling. So I picked.“Grandpa.” I called, his voice sounding so soft and welcoming. “Are you chanced? How about you come for dinner tonight?” “Sure, grandpa! I'll be there.” “Good boy.” He added and then ended the call. Immediately after the call, I dialled Celeste’s number. I needed to inform her I will be coming home late tonight. She picked on the first ring.“Alex.” She called with a soft voice.“I'll be going to see grandpa today. He wants me to come for dinner tonight and I'm likely to come home late. While I'm away, take care of yourself until I return.” I just wanted to be sure she was fine and wouldn't feel lonely in my absence while I'm away.“Can I go with you, Alex? I want to make a special meal for grandp

Celeste's POVThe next day I felt like the world was suddenly spinning out of my control. The events of yesterday were still fresh in my mind, haunting me like a never-ending loop. My worries grew worse than last night. On the day Julia called off the marriage, I was extremely happy. Happy that she was out of the way, I'll finally be with my Alex without her being in our lives. I had convinced myself that with Julia breaking off the engagement with Alex, I would finally have my chance. I told myself it was inevitable. After all, I had been Alex's perfect match, hadn’t I? The chemistry we had was undeniable ever since we were little, and I had thought that once Julia was out of the picture, Alex would see that we were meant to be together. He would get married to me instead. I thought he never felt anything for her and wanted her out of our love lives. But now, I was left with the cold, crushing reality of Alex wanting to marry Julia. Maybe for the sake of that old man, Mr. Sterling

Celeste’s povThe day was finally here. The press conference was today, and I was already buzzing with excitement. It wasn’t just any press conference; it was the moment I wanted to witness Alex's reaction when he didn't see Julia, and I wanted to make sure I looked stunning, as always. As I set the phone down, I glanced at the clock. I had a few hours before the event. I turned to Alex who was busy on his PC.“Your haircut is not looking nice at all. You don't expect to look this way in front of Julia and everyone else. It's a Media conference, you forgot?”Alex ran a hand through his unruly hair. "I think you should have a hair cut.” I stated and moved to him, now standing in front of him. “Well, if you want, I can call Jenny from the beauty saloon. She can come over and take care of it,” I offered.Alex raised an eyebrow, looking at me skeptically. "That will be great.” He said, his eyes still on the screen of his PC."Yes, sweetheart. Trust me, she’s amazing. I’d never recommend

Julia’s POVThe journalist and every other person present in the room turned their heads back. The room was filled with velvet chairs arranged in perfect rows as journalists were seated comfortably, cameras already rolling and flashes popping at intervals. While I walked, I could hear side-talks.“Is that Julia?” someone whispered.“She looks absolutely stunning,” another gasped.“Her dress… she’s glowing.”“She’s always been beautiful, but tonight?”I kept my gaze forward, my lips slightly curved in a knowing smile. Cameras clicked, flashes lit the air, and every eye turned to follow. Shortly, I saw him lounging on the stage chair in front of the table, every inch of him steeped in arrogance as usual as his eyes bore into mine coldly. Then I made my way toward Alex. Alex lifted his eyes lazily and met mine with a smirk. He slowly set the glass aside, stood, and clapped his hands mockingly once.“Well, well,” he drawled. “The mighty Julia finally came…How the proud have fallen.”I s

Julia’s POVI saw the surprise look on Alex’s face.The journalists on the other hand paused with their parking. They all turned to me. Then I continued.“My safety has been threatened in recent days. And despite it all, I am terrified. And I’m using this moment to seek help.”Immediately, the cameras were brought closer.Click. Click. Click. Dozens of camera shutters erupted at once. Reporters shot up from their seats, some walked to me, and they filmed it, throwing me so many questions. “Are you saying you’ve been attacked?”“Who’s threatening you?”“Do you have evidence?”“What does the attacker want?”“Do you perhaps know who’s involved?”The cameras zoomed in closer, every angle, every twitch on my face was captured. I gave a small, sad smile and answered only some.“I’m not pointing fingers yet,” I said. “But yes, I have reason to believe someone close to me is behind the threats.”A flurry of murmurs exploded in the room. Alex turned to me slowly, I could see the fear in his e

Julia’s POVIsabella is coming back soon. It's good news for me and also a bad one. I hadn’t told her about my life lately with Alex and if she comes and find out, it would not end well. She had always been against Alex and even if I try to explain reasons to why I accepted Alex back, she wouldn’t buy it. On the other hand, her words about Lucas rang continuously in my head. “Huh? A business partner? That’s all? You must be joking. Isn’t it obvious he likes you already? Are you blind?” Well I didn’t want it to bother me so I decided to take a bath to clear my head.I had just finished taking a shower when my phone rang again.Wrapped in a towel, I reached for the phone. The name on the screen made my heart pause for a beat. It was Mr. Sterling calling.I hesitated for a moment, then picked up. “Hello” I greeted.“Ah, good. You’re not asleep,” he said, his tone welcoming as always. “I won’t take long. How are you doing?”“I’m fine, thank you,” I said, brushing a damp strand of hair fro

Julia’s POVImmediately, I saw the confusion in Alex’s eyes and that of Celeste’s. Her smile faltered just enough for me to catch it before she could hide it again. A second ago, she’d been feeling happy about the broken necklace even though she didn’t make her joy obvious. Now, she’s puzzled.Alex opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came.“It’s not broken at all,” I said again softly, then he stepped forward.“What games are you playing, Julia?”I reached into my handbag and pulled out a small, elegant black velvet box. The moment I flipped the lid open, Celeste’s expression shifted. And this time, she didn’t hide it fast enough. I saw the shock in her eyes. There it was, the real necklace. Glimmering under the lights of the hospital room. “This…” I held it up by the chain, letting it dangle, “is the real necklace.”Alex’s mouth fell open. “Then what…”“I anticipated this,” I said coolly, cutting across whatever excuse or protest was about to fall from Celeste’s l

Julia’s POV“That’s not possible, Alex,” I said firmly, pacing the small living room while Jake watched me from the couch, his glass of water untouched. “I don’t owe Celeste anything. And I’m not giving her that necklace.”On the other end of the line, Alex exhaled sharply, his voice low and tight with frustration. “Julia, this isn’t about owing anyone. This is about basic humanity. She’s lying in a hospital bed, barely responsive.”“And what does that have to do with me?” I snapped. “I’m not responsible for her state, Alex.”“She kept mentioning that necklace. Do you not see how this is connected?” he said, voice rising. “All I’m asking is for her to hold it, not keep it.” He paused and continued. “I’m saying,” he replied slowly, “that you have the power to give someone a little comfort. Even if you don’t like her. Do it not for her, but for your own conscience.”Silence stretched between us. I hated how everything was turning out to be, making me look like a bad person. “…Fine,” I

Julia’s POVThe next day, while preparing for the day when suddenly, a voice called out to me from outside.“Julia!” a familiar voice called through the door, followed by a knock, firm, but not aggressive kind of knock. My breath hitched to realise whose voice it was. I knew that voice. It was Jake’s. Why is he here?I didn’t hesitate. Without a glance back at Alex, I walked past him and opened the door.There he was. He stood with one hand still raised from knocking, his brows furrowed the moment he saw me. He was dressed casually, in a plain grey hoodie and dark jeans, his hair slightly tousled as his eyes immediately scanned my face.“Jake?” I stared at him curiously. “Is everything okay at home? Why are you here?” I asked, surprised. “I came to check on you,” he said simply. His eyes didn’t leave mine. “Are you okay? Did Alex do anything to you?”“I’m fine,” I assured him quickly, glancing back at Alex only to meet his cold stare. “Nothing happened, Jake. Really.”Jake didn’t lo

Julia’s POV“What?” I said sharply, holding the phone tightly to my ear. “You want me to give the necklace… to Celeste?” My voice rose incredulously.I could feel my blood boil. “Are you insane, Alex? That necklace was gifted to me. Why the hell should I hand it over to your little sweetheart just because she batted her fake lashes and pouted her lips at you?” My voice was filled with fury. “You and Celeste can go to hell.”Before I could end the call myself, I heard Celeste’s voice , sounding so sweet and fake.“It’s okay, Alex,” Celeste cooed gently. “Let’s not cause a scene. The necklace is beautiful, but it belongs to Julia now. Really… it’s fine.”I rolled my eyes so hard I thought they might get stuck. My grip on the phone tightened.Lucas, who had been quietly watching me with a lifted brow, leaned in slightly. “May I?” he asked, gesturing to the phone.I hesitated. My jaw clenched, fingers twitching over the phone, but finally, I handed it over. He gave me a nod, pressed the
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 72
Julia’s POV“Oh my God…” I gasped, staring at Lucas’s text. Lucas did this for me? A shiver ran down my spine as my throat tightened, overwhelmed by Lucas’s actions. Lucas hadn’t just helped me once. He had done that more than twice. Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars… I could hardly breathe just thinking about it.He did this intentionally, not like I forced him. Quickly, I typed a reply. “Thank you so much, Lucas. I don’t know how to express how grateful I am. I’ll pay you back as soon as I can, I promise.”Just as I was about to send another follow-up message, explaining my plan to set up a payment schedule, another text buzzed through.“Since you’re thanking me, then treat me to the meal we missed last time.”I was still smiling at my screen when a voice called out, “Miss Wilson?”I turned to find a man in a black suit standing nearby. He looked about thirty-five, clean-cut, and professional with sharp eyes and a kind smile.“I’m Ethan,” he introduced himself with a polite
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 71
Julia’s POV The crowd gasped. My heart lurched. Three hundred and fifty thousand? Who could? I glanced at Alex, whose smirk had vanished, replaced by a scowl. Celeste’s face was pale, her hands clenched in her lap.That was more than I could ever dream of, more than Alex could reasonably justify. He leaned back in his chair, his paddle lowering, his expression filled with fury and defeat. Celeste grabbed his hand as she whispered something to him.“Any more bidders?” The auctioneer said.Alex’s hand twitched, but he didn’t raise his paddle. The silence stretched. My chest ached for the realization that I'd lost the necklace to a stranger. Whoever was on that phone had outplayed us both.“Going once,” the auctioneer said. “Going twice… Sold! To the anonymous bidder for three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.”The gavel slammed down, and the room erupted in applause and whispers. I sat frozen, my paddle limp in my hand. The necklace was gone. Not to Alex, not to Celeste, but to some

Julia’s POVCeleste’s eyes widened in shock and Alex, his eyes glared at the card and then to me as if words were far from his lips. Suddenly , Celeste’s voice broke the silence. “Oh my God! Did you steal that?” She snapped, taking a few steps closer. “Alex, will you stand there and watch her?” She added. Alex stepped closer, his cold gaze boring into mine. “Where did you get that?” He questioned.“I think you might be disappointed because this wasn't stolen. ”But just as he was about to continue, a loud voice interrupted the moment. “Welcome everyone for coming… we will begin now.” I turned to see the organizer standing at the stage as he organised everyone. The auction hall buzzed as I watched everyone take their seat. “Sorry I have to leave now.” I didn’t wait to hear Alex or Celeste’s response as I walked out on them.I sat in the third row with my bidder number I found on the seat. 214. Beside me, Alex lounged in his seat, one arm draped over the back of Celeste’s chair who

Julia’s POVAlex and Celeste walked into the dining room, fingers intertwined. Celeste smiled slightly, tucking a strand of her perfectly curled hair behind her ear as Alex pulled out her chair and helped her sit down with all the gallantry of a man starring in his own romantic drama. Alex sat beside her too.“Try this,” Alex said softly, lifting a piece of seared scallop from his plate and gently feeding it to her.Celeste opened her mouth with reluctance, cheeks flushing in shyness as if the moment embarrassed her, though she clearly adored every bit of attention from Alex and I knew. “Alex, not in front of your wife,” she whispered with a coy smile, her eyes moving briefly toward me. “It’s not appropriate.” She added.Alex chuckled, dabbing at the corner of her lips with his napkin to clean the stain in my mouth.“Don’t worry about her.” He replied.I smiled and took a sip of my wine, as if their actions were invisible in my eyes. “This food is amazing,” I said, cutting into my sal
