Julia’s POV

From the mirror, I noticed Alex staring at me. He wasn’t even trying to be subtle about it. His gaze followed every shift of my movement while I fitted the dresses as it clung to my body. I tried to ignore him, tried to focus on the details of the dress instead, the delicate stitching.

“I really love this design. It shows a lot of artwork was put into it.” I said, admiring the dress.

“Miss Julia, this dress is exquisite on you,” she said with a smile. “Though next time, perhaps the groom could accompany you for fittings. It would make the process more seamless.”

I turned toward her. “Oh, the groom’s already here,” I said casually, nodding in Alex’s direction.

Her eyes widened briefly as she glanced at Alex, who was now standing stiffly by one of the racks, pretending to examine a tie. “I see…” she said, her tone hesitant.

“You are the groom, aren’t you?” I asked, tilting my head and meeting his eyes. I knew Celeste wouldn’t like what was about to happen but I’ll love to

    Alex’s POVI stared at the suit hanging in my closet as I wondered why I had brought it back home. And why did I return to the bridal shop? What exactly was I hoping to achieve? I hate myself for such actions. Especially for lying to Celeste just because I wanted to see Julia’s face again in there.While we were outside, I had taken Celeste to a food store to get her some food but she stated she wasn’t hungry. “You need to eat so you stay healthy for me.” I convinced her and she smiled and nodded. Then I bought her some of her favorite food and made her stay in the car to eat it. “This is amazing,” she said between bites. “You’re officially my go-to food buddy now.”I laughed softly, nodding. “Glad I could impress.”While I was with Celeste in the car, my mind was elsewhere. Julia’s face filled in my thoughts, uninvited but persistent. The memory of her trying on her wedding dress, the way she had looked, played in my head. And the suit? It was stunning and I couldn’t stop thinking

    Julia’s POVI ended the call with Isabella and promised to call her later as I wondered if Alex had lost his mind. Moments ago, he was adamant about refusing the suit. Now, here he was, stepping forward with a look of determination I hadn’t seen before. What was he trying to prove?The air between us shifted as Alex gestured to one of the clerks. “I’ll try it on,” he said, his tone sounding serious.The clerk brightened immediately, rushing off to fetch the suit. I watched her go, still stunned by the sudden change of mind. When she returned, the clerk handed Alex the tuxedo. “The fitting room is right this way, sir,” she said, leading him toward a corner of the boutique. Alex shot me a glance before disappearing into the fitting room.What game was he playing?Minutes passed. I could hear faint murmurs from the clerks nearby, their excitement barely contained. “Oh my God! You look like a groom indeed.”“It looks so good on you.”“Your bride will love this on you.”“It’s so amazing.

    Alex’s POV“Are you okay?.” I questioned as I approached. My eyes fell on a long flowing white beaded beautiful wedding dress and to my surprise, it was Julia, on this dress. Julia stood tall in the off-shoulder gown, the delicate lace hugging her curves, pearls glinting along the bodice. Her skin looked like silk against the ivory fabric, her hair cascading in soft waves down her shoulders. I wouldn’t lie, she looked like a perfect bride. When had my perception of Julia changed from annoyance, to intrigue, and now to something dangerously close to admiration?My mind drifted back to our old memories starting from the first day my family and hers had met that we had to take a photo together. And how she had loved me so dearly but all I could give her was pain and sadness. Seeing her on this wedding dress, I could not help but wonder if she was really going to marry me.“Alex!” Suddenly, Celeste’s soft sob pulled me back to the present.She turned toward me, her expression crumbling

  • Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex!   Chapter 85

    Julia’s POVCeleste’s expression shifted so fast that I saw the annoyance in her eyes. Her lips stiffened into a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, her perfectly penciled brows lifting in fake delight. She looked surprised and at the same time, shocked, furious, even but trying to remain like nothing had happened. “Wedding?” she questioned, her voice filled with fake delight and sugarcoated. “Did… did Lucas propose already?” She blinked rapidly, feigning another smile. “I mean, that was fast, wasn’t it? Unless…” She trailed off dramatically, then gave a little gasp. “Wait… is it someone else? Oh Julia, don’t tell me you’ve been seeing someone else?”I said nothing. Just looked at her, blank, unimpressed, and utterly unmoved by her questions.Celeste, clearly unsettled by my silence, she continued. “It must be Lucas, right?” she pressed on, her voice smooth. “I mean, who else would it be? He’s the only one you’ve been seen with, and you two have been awfully close lately. Unless

    Julia’s POVImmediately. I pushed Alex away, my hands shoving against his bare chest as I covered my eyes with one arm. Oh my God!” I muttered as I squeaked. Alex stood from me as my eyes fell on his member. Immediately, I covered my eyes with my hands. Embarrassed, he stumbled backward as he pulled up the towel and tried to cover himself. And without waiting for his response, I dashed out of his room, the door slamming shut behind me. My heart pounded as I made my way to my room, running between me and that mortifying scene.Back in my own room, I collapsed onto the bed, burying my face in my hands. I tried desperately to erase the image from my memory, cursing Alex for not getting dressed after his shower. Who walks around in just a towel like that? I thought, my cheeks still flaming but then realised he was in his room and not mine. He wasn’t at fault at all. But, if I was being honest, I couldn’t lie to myself. His… member looked… well, huge. The thought made my stomach twist wi

    Julia’s POVQuickly, Alex strode angrily toward me, his bare feet slapping against the floor swiftly, his eyes blazing with irritation as they appeared cold.Startled, I instinctively stepped back, my calves hitting the edge of his bed, my balance faltered as I toppled backward, landing on the soft mattress of his bed with a muffled thud. “Julia?” Alex snapped, his voice sharp enough to cut through the tension in the room. Immediately, he bent down, snatching the photo frame from the floor where it had fallen, his movements jerky with agitation. “You barge into my room, touch my things, and now you have made a mess of it.” He snapped.“I… I’m sorry,” I stammered. “I knocked, Alex. Twice. You didn’t answer, and I just… I came to find you.” My words tumbled out in a stutters. He straightened, clutching the picture frame tightly. “You don’t just walk into someone’s room and start poking around,” he said, his tone dripping with condescension. He set the frame back on the bedside table w

    Julia’s POVMr. Sterling had handed over a card to me before we left. Reaching home at Alex’s place, I was in my room, I was seated on my bed, leg folded as I was hopelessly staring at the business card of the bridal shop that Mr. Sterling had given me. The elegant script on the card read “Evelyn’s Bridal Boutique,” with an address in the heart of the city as Mr. Sterling’s words rang through my head again. “Julia, I’ve taken care of everything,” Mr. Sterling had said, his tone firm but kind, the way it always. “You’ll go to Evelyn’s Bridal Boutique next Monday. They’re expecting you. I’ve spoken to the owner, and they’ll have everything ready for you to start choosing what you need. But I want you to take Alex with you. No excuses. This is important, and I trust you to make sure everything goes smoothly, my child.” Mr. Sterling’s eyes had softened then and he spoke again. “Julia, I know things are… complicated. But you’re family now. You and Alex need to sort things out. This is a

    Julia’s POVImmediately, I saw the twitch in Celeste’s face. Her eyes flicked toward the employees around us the second I asked her to apologize, in front of everyone, her entire body stiffened. Her pride was battling inside her and only I could see that and for a short tense moment, she said nothing.I simply waited to see her reactions.Celeste finally shifted, stepping forward with her hands clasped in front of her. Her voice sounded so genuine but I knew it was all an act. She doesn’t have a choice, does she?“I… I’m sorry, Julia.” Her eyes rose slightly to meet mine, then dropped again just as fast. “I shouldn’t have let things happen this way. I should have spoken up earlier… I was wrong, please forgive me.”The workers stood as they witnessed the scene too.I didn’t speak. I stood perfectly still, my expression unreadable.Her face crumpled when she realized I wasn’t offering her any response. “I’m really sorry, Julia.”Her voice trembling but louder nowenough for the room to
