Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 74
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“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 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 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 POVI am shocked.My brows rose, and I’m certain the confusion was etched clearly across my face and I could tell Celeste noticed that. My lips parted slightly, but no words came out. Celeste? Director? It didn’t make sense. Not even remotely. This was the same Celeste who majored in dance at college. How could she possibly be the director of Carter Corporations? Hilarious! Alex really did love her to had put her in this position.I stared at her as she approached further. Her hair was styled flawlessly, her lips the same seductive red as the receptionist’s, but more polished and beautiful. She was wearing a red short gown barely above her knees and a silver heel.She stopped in front of me and flashed a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Julia,” she called again. “What a surprise. You’re here… you look good.” She said.I wanted to say something, anything, but I was still trying to absorb what I’d just learned about her position here.The receptionist straightened and broke th

Julia’s POVSuddenly, Alex snapped, stepping in front of me.“Unbelievable, Julia!” Alex’s voice rang sharp. “You come here unannounced, and now you’re creating a scene?”My stomach dropped as I kept my eyes on him. “Excuse me?”He took another step forward, his glare never left me. “Julia, what exactly are you doing here? First, you show up without telling me, and now Celeste’s standing here with coffee all over her.” How low can you stoop, Julia?”I shook my head, a short unbelievable laugh escaping my lips. “Are you serious right now? At least ask what happened.” Celeste sniffled behind him, barely holding back tears. “Alex, please, don’t blame her. Everything is my fault. I shouldn’t have offered her the coffee in the first place. I was only trying to be nice and welcome her to her Fiancée’s company.” She said as she wiped her non stop flowing tears.“Celeste,” I snapped, stepping forward, “cut the act...”Alex raised his hand at me. “Enough, Julia.”“No, not enough!” I snapped b

Julia’s POVI had always been a woman of status, part of one of the wealthiest and most powerful families. But now? Now I am seated on the cold, damp floor of this filthy prison cell, stripped of everything I once was.Suddenly, there was an approaching footsteps and just immediately, I saw a man approaching. He reached out to the prison door and creaks it open with a key. Seeing this man again, the jailer, my heart clenched as fear gripped me. Afraid of what he would do to me this time. His presence always causes me nothing but pain. Whenever he comes in here, I knew he was here to afflict on me one pain or the other.Now standing in front of me emotionlessly, he bent towards me as he held up my chin to make me look up to his face.Giving a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes, his deep and emotionless voice broke the silence. “Not quite the luxury you’re used to, is it?” he taunts, his voice thick with amusement.I shot him a glare, but my body betrayed me. I’m weak. Broken. He noticed.

Julia’s POVAlex was furious. His eyes, cold and sharp, glinted with the kind of rage that only comes from having one’s ego bruised. The tendons on his neck tightened, and his jaw clenched so hard I could almost hear his teeth grinding. His nostrils flared slightly as he glared at me, struggling to comprehend how I had the audacity to throw a cake at him. A bead of icing slid down his pristine suit jacket and his hands curled into fists at his sides. The anger in his expression burned with one question: How dare she?But I dared, and I didn’t regret it.Before Alex could spit out whatever venomous words he had brewing, my stepmother, Scarlett’s fingers latched onto my arm, dragging me out of the hall. Her grip was firm, desperate. I could see the alarm in her eyes as she led me down a quiet corridor, away from the horrified murmurs of the gathered guests.“Are you out of your mind?” she hissed, her voice trembling with barely contained panic. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”I

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
