Julia’s POVHer lips parted. She looked down at her wrist, at the sleek silver watch with the small sapphire inset. Her fingers hesitated. But then, she quietly pulled it and handed it to me.I took the watch and walked back to the stage, each step I took, dozens of cameras followed me.I paused at the center, lifting the sleek, silver watch for all to see. My fingers curled tightly around the watch as I faced the sea of expectant eyes as cameras flashing intensified.Then I removed a chip from the watch and connected it to the computer beside me.Before I spoke, I gave a small nod to the technician beside me. “Play the recording,” I said.Immediately, the technician played it. IJenny’s colleague by name Annie’s voice came first.”So it’s done then? Celeste told you to use the expired batch, right?”Jenny responded. “Yeah. She said it’ll give just enough irritation with lasting damage. You know her, she wants Julia looking terrible. And we followed her orders. It’s not like anyone’s

Julia’s POVI saw the rage in Alex’s eyes. Yes! I was satisfied. So satisfied to see him this helpless! He couldn’t do anything, he stood there, helpless, as he watched me walk away. For once, he had no leverage over me. He wasn’t the one pulling the strings.The next morning at the office, I was seated, my eyes were glued to the screen of my phone. A post from William had caught my attention. It was about yesterday’s chaos. I scrolled down to the comments section, people were torn apart in debates, some wholeheartedly believing the story, others swearing it was rumors.“William always posts lies! Until it’s on the TV, I’m not buying it.”“Why would she be with such a man who kidnapped her family? Is this some sick business deal?”“Open your eyes! Of course, it’s true. This is how powerful people play their games.”The internet was a battlefield of opinions. Some pointed fingers, some defended me, others brushed it off as fabricated drama. A few even pitied me. “Maybe she had no choi

Julia’s POVI watched as Lucas parked his car at the parking slot of the hotel.Lucas approached me, his both hands were in his pockets as he strolled confidently.Now standing in front of me, he explained pleasantries. “It’s been a while.” He paused. Then, with a slight crease of his brows, he asked plainly, "What are you doing here out late at night?”“Just chilling.” I replied with a smile. He said nothing. He studied me for some seconds, his eyes landing on the little bag I was holding and then his expression shifted. “Sure?” He questioned as he stepped closer.I forced a tight smile, there was no point hiding so I’ll have to just spill it out. “Scarlett chased me out of the house,” I admitted, trying to sound casual. “She told me to go back to my husband’s home…” I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “And to make matters worse, every hotel I tried turned me away. Apparently, Alex ordered them not to take me in.”Lucas’s eyes narrowed. He wasn’t a man who showed much emotion. “Your step

Julia’s POVThe instant the words left my mouth, I knew I had struck a nerve. I saw something dark flash across Celeste’s face. Her eyes were gleaming with suppressed fury, she wanted to explode. Her fingers curled into first as she looked helpless. “Let’s leave here.” Celeste chimed in but her words fell on deaf ears.“You arrogant bitch!” Yvonne spat, lunging at me with sudden violence. Her hand came up fast, aiming for my face, but I caught her wrist mid-air before her slap could land.I tightened my grip on her wrist, forcing her to meet my glare. “Don’t dare,” I warned, my voice was low and dangerous.“This should be your first and last time you cross my path. Otherwise, you may likely go back home with a fractured bone. I’m only trying to be nice.” I said.“Celeste, please help me.” She cried.Yvonne struggled against my hold, but I didn’t let her go. Nicole, emboldened by her friend’s attempt, grabbed for the edge of my blouse as if to yank me off balance. She barely touched m

Julia’s POVThey all looked back, to the source of the voice as they saw Lucas strolling forward like a perfect gentleman. Then Yvonne whispered in a very low tone. “Oh my god! That’s Mr. Lynwood.” Yvonne’s gaze shifted to Nicole and then to Celeste and then to Lucas.His presence alone commanded fear in them. I could see how they flinched, taking a few steps away from me. He didn’t raise his voice, nor did he need to. His words were cool and calm.Now standing in front of them, he broke the silence. “Are you finished?” Lucas’s gaze swept across Yvonne and then to Nicole. There was a glint in his eyes, it was cold, penetrating, unforgiving. He took a slow step closer while they took a step backwards. “I was in the middle of an important discussion with Miss Wilson,” he continued, “but it seems you have a penchant for interrupting matters far beyond your understanding.”Celeste’s mouth moved but no words came. Perhaps she knew what Lucas was capable of. At least she has seen him multi

Julia’s POVThose words had barely left Alex’s lips when I caught the way Yvonne and Nicole shared a glance between themselves. It wasn’t just a casual look and then heir eyes flicked toward Celeste. She stood there, visibly stiff, her gaze fixed on Alex as though willing him to notice her. But he didn’t. He didn’t spare her even a glance, and I saw how Celeste tried not to feel embarrassed. Yvonne moved first. She crossed the small space between her and Celeste and then she spoke.“Oh, Celeste… He is here for Julia. I can’t wait to see how he teaches her a lesson.” Then Yvonne gave me a look that described she’s at the winning side.Celeste’s shifted uncomfortably, just for a second, but she said nothing. Nicole followed Yvonne’s lead. “Alex didn’t even give you a glance.” Her words made Celeste shoot her a deadly gaze that shut her up.I saw the way Celeste’s chest rose with restrained breath. She was feeling overwhelmed. She tried not to react, but her hands curled slightly at h

Julia’s POVLater that evening, we arrived at Mr. Sterling’s grand building. As soon as we stepped inside, the dining table was already set.From the staircase, midway down, Mr. Sterling caught sight of us. His gaze landed on me first, and a broad smile brightened his face as he called out my name. “Julia!”He began descending the steps eagerly. His arms opened wide, expectant, and I found myself moving toward him almost instinctively with my lips curving out a genuine smile. “It’s so good to see you,” he said, pulling me into a warm embrace. “How are you doing?” I asked softly as I stepped back, my hands still lightly on his arms as my eyes examined him. His eyes softened. “Stronger now that you’re here,” he replied.Carefully, I led him to the head of the table. He sank into his seat with a contented sigh. I took my place beside him, and Alex settled in the chair next to me.Dinner commenced. Mr. Sterling’s joy seemed to grow with every passing moment, his eyes flicking betwee

Julia’s POV“Now, I already saw what was coming. I could feel my heart, beating so fast.That bowl of soup that Grandpa specially left for Alex just now?We were deceived by Grandpa's little trick.“Alex…” I barely got the words out before he crossed the space between us. His fingers closed around my wrists, rough and impatient, his body pressing into mine as he pinned me to the wall. His lips sought mine hungrily, but I turned my head, catching only the corner of my mouth before I managed to twist away.“Stop,” I breathed, struggling against his grip, panic clawing at me. “Alex, please.”He staggered a few steps forward, trying to regain his stamina. “I want you Julia… You’ve been denying me for too long,” he said, his voice sounding almost drunken. “But not tonight.” He added.I fought harder, shoving at his chest, but it was like pushing against heavy stone that never moved. His drugged state made fear spiked through me. I wriggled free from his grasp with sheer, desperate effort

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

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
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 69
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
