Julia’s POVThat night, I asked Lucas to drop me off at the company.“I still have some things to take care of before going home.” I said and he nodded without hesitation. He dropped me off and after some hours, I was done, about to head out. The moment I stepped out of the company doors, the sight of a sleek, black car parked near the entrance gate made me wonder if Alex was here. It was his car and his car plate number convinced me more that it was truly him. Why was he here?At the sight of it, my feet slowed instinctively, my fingers tightening around the strap of my purse as my eyes were darting around to catch a glimpse of him. Shortly, the driver’s side door opened, and Alex stepped out. His expression was a mixture of anger and something else, something possessive. He strode toward me, his towering body casting a shadow over me as I tried to walk pass him.“Julia,” he said, his voice sharp and commanding. “You really didn’t waste any time, did you?”I halted with a frown, my

Julia’s POVI resisted with all my strength and continued to threaten him with those words.“Let go of me, Alex!” My voice was sharp, echoing in the car. I thrashed against his grip, twisting my wrists, nails digging into his skin as I tried to pry myself free. My heart pounded furiously but his grip remained firm, his fingers tightening like shackles around my wrists.“Stop fighting me,” he murmured, his voice low, almost amused.I jerked my knee up, aiming for his back, but he anticipated it, he pinned my legs back down with his legs. His strength overpowered mine easily as I clawed at his arm, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I tried to push him away.“Get off me, Alex!” I spat.Instead of listening, he caught my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze before crashing his lips against mine forcefully. I turned my head, but he held me in place, his kisses were rough and passionate. I writhed in protest, but his body crowded mine, pressing me into the seat. One of his hands slid down, f

Julia’s POVAt the company’s high-level meeting, tension of their failed company was high. Everyone was in a panic. The conference room had devolved into chaos as everyone was airing their thoughts. Shareholders sat around the long glass table, their voices rising in agitation as heated debates filled the room. Some pounded their fists against the table, while others whispered among themselves, shaking their heads in doubt.At the head of the table, my stepmother, Scarlett, stood with a sneer, her arms pointing at me as she leveled an accusing gaze at me.“This is all because of Julia!” she exclaimed, her voice sharp with faux indignation. “She’s the one who ruined our company relationship with Alex! If she hadn’t been so reckless in breaking off the engagement, Julison Technology wouldn’t have divested from Alex’s company. And now look at the mess we’re in!”Several shareholders nodded in agreement, murmuring among themselves.“She single-handedly caused our largest investor to walk

Alex’s POV I was puzzled as to why Julia wasn’t panicking at all. The entire company was at the verge of crashing, scrambling to find solutions after my withdrawal of investment, yet she remained unmoved. Not a single attempt to meet me, no desperate pleas, no anxious calls, nothing. Something didn’t sit right. I leaned back in my chair, fingers tapping against the surface of my desk, and turned to my secretary, Cornel. “Find out what Julia has been up to these days. I want a detailed report.” Cornel bowed slightly before leaving my office. I expected to hear something my instinct had been telling me, perhaps she was meeting with new investors, or busy having fun with Lynwood. When Cornel returned, I was prepared for anything, perhaps hearing how she had been running for help from one company to another. “She has been shopping, sir,” the secretary stated. “She dined alone a few times,” I frowned. “That’s all? Nothing else?” Cornel hesitated for a second before shaking her hea

Julia’s POVI was sitting in my room, scrolling through the latest updates on the security system with my laptop, I wasn’t surprised or shocked. In my previous life, it happened and I knew it would happen just as it’s happening now. Shortly, my phone rang. Emily’s voice came through the line, clipped with urgency.“Scarlett and the shareholders are holding a general meeting right now,” she said. “They’re planning to vote you out as CEO.”I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly as I closed the browser tab on my screen. So, it was finally happening. I had always known Scarlett was scheming behind my back but what surprised me was how quickly she’d decided to throw me out behind my back.“Are you on your way?” Emily pressed.A slow smile curved my lips. “Let them play their little game, I’ll be there soon.”The moment I stepped into Julison Technology Enterprise, the air was filled with tension. Employees shot me nervous glances as I strode past, but I ignored them. If there was one

Julia’s POVThe moment she finished, it was as if no one believed what just happened.I slowly stood up, adjusting my sleeves. “Now, if I recall correctly, Scarlett, you just said my leadership has brought instability? $900 million doesn’t sound very unstable to me.”A few board members turned to each other, whispering. One of them frowned. “This… Is this real?”“Of course, it is.” I gave them a cool smile. “Lynwood doesn’t play games. But you know who does?” I turned my gaze to Scarlett. “People who try to stage coups without thinking ahead.”Her face paled slightly.“You’re lying,” she hissed. “This was planned. There’s no 900 million dollars.” Scarlett declared.Scarlett’s power crumbling before her eyes. No one was willing to move forward with the vote anymore, not when I had secured the biggest investment in the company’s history.Everyone was surprised. I then asked, “Is there anyone else who still wants to drive me away?”No one said a word, and they all turned to look at Scar

Julia’s POVI turned to see Celeste standing, her lips curved into a smile that looked just sweet enough to be sickening. What does she want now?I didn’t have the patience for this today. I ignored her presence and turned on my heel, walking right past her without sparing a second glance. But just as I took a step forward, she spoke again.“You should apologize to Alex,” she said and took a step closer. I froze mid-step, irritation flaring inside me. I turned to face her, my eyebrow arched in disbelief. “What?”Celeste crossed her hands together, her expression contorting into something that could almost pass for concern. “You know, the security project. Alex is really upset because of it, Julia. He hasn’t been eating properly. He’s barely sleeping. I’m so worried about his health,” she continued, her brows furrowing with that same fake distress. I stared at her, unable to comprehend how she could stand there with a straight face, spouting this nonsense. Was she serious? Was I real

Julia’s POVLucas’s hand was still gripping Alex’s, his fingers tightening with a quiet warning. His expression remained unreadable. Then, with an easy confidence, Lucas took a step closer, his voice cutting through the silence.“I remember telling you not to lay a hand on a lady.” He said nonchalantly.His words carried weight like a threat. Alex’s jaw clenched, his pride refusing to let him, but there was hesitation in his eyes, whether to back off or not.Alex scoffed and took a step away. Then, just as I expected, he turned into accusations.“Of course, Lucas is here for you,” he sneered. “That’s why he always rushes to your side. You two must have something going on. That’s the real reason he’s so eager to help, isn’t it?”I exhaled sharply, disgusted but not surprised. Alex was grasping at straws, desperate to paint me in the wrong.Lucas, however, smiled and took a few steps forward. He didn’t so much as blink at Alex’s accusation, merely adjusting the cufflinks on his pristine

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

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

Julia’s POV Alex was definitely here to pick me and take me back home.His car was parked by the curb, sleek and black car like always, his silhouette unmistakable even through the tinted windshield. I saw him lean forward in his seat, waiting, expecting me to come to him like a good wife.The moment I pulled Lucas’s car door open, i slid inside the front seat and closed the door.“Drive,” I said. Lucas didn’t question me. He simply pulled into the lane but we didn’t get far.Alex’s car swerved abruptly, cutting us off. Alex’s tires screeched. Lucas slammed the brakes, jolting us forward with a sharp jerk.“For God’s sake,” Lucas muttered, gripping the wheel. Before I could respond, Alex was already out of his car and striding toward us. His jaw clenched as I locked the doors immediately.Alex yanked the handle on my side. When it wouldn’t budge, he pounded his fist against the window.“Lucas! Open the damn door!” he shouted. “Let my wife out of the car!”I didn’t move. I sat as

Julia’s POVLucas? Seeing Lucas’s message, I am extremely confused why but then I waved that thought and then decided to type a reply. I was just about to type a reply that I had been so busy lately and that’s why I haven’t got to see him when Lucas sent another message, it was a photo. I clicked on the image and to my surprise, It was the official Havemont invitation, elegant parchment sealed with a golden crest. My fingers paused mid-type. He followed it up with a message. “I got a special invitation at Havemont but I won’t be able to attend on that day. I’ve got some arrangements I can’t reschedule. But I want you to have this. It’s your mother’s and must be important to you, so I think this invitation will be more useful in your hands than being wasted by me .”What a lucky day for me! I needed a thing so much and someone just handed it to me!But how did Lucas know that it was my mother’s necklace ?I stared at the photo, then back at the message. I couldn’t believe everything

Julia’s POVThere was no way I would allow Alex to gift Celeste my mother’s necklace so I tried to make Alex give up by belittling that pearl necklace. “I can’t believe Celeste wants something horrible, nothing fancy,” I scoffed as I stepped forward, folding my arms across my chest. “There’s nothing rare about pearls anymore. They’re practically manufactured in bulk these days.”Alex didn’t even turn to look at me. He was too busy admiring the dainty luster of the necklace. I took another step forward. “Seriously, Alex. Don’t you think you should explain to her she’s making the wrong choice? This necklace isn’t even that impressive.”He looked at me finally. “Your opinion wasn’t asked for. It’s Celeste’s choice, not yours. If she wants it, she will have it.” A few customers nearby glanced over but I didn’t care. “This necklace will fade in no time, trust me.” Alex ignored me before he finally spoke. “I think it’s sweet. A man who doesn’t hesitate to give his woman what she wants.
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 65
Julia’s POVThe moment I saw the necklace, my heart felt a sudden relief. The necklace was a pearls strung together in a flawless strand, creamy white, perfectly round, with the faintest luminescent sheen that shone in the light like moonlight on water. The necklace’s importance likely stems from its deep emotional value to me. It was my mother’s favorite newer jewelry. It has been a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations of my great grand mother and to my grandmother and then to my mother. It’s a quiet moment of connection of the family. I want to find it because losing it feels like losing a piece of my soul, my mother is supposed to pass it to me.I was extremely excited.“I’ll call you when I need you.” I said to the maid massaging me and she nodded and left the room.Then I continued reading. “t’s a private auction, by Invitation only.”I didn’t wait for her to finish.“Find a way,” I’d said. “Please, Emily. I need to be there. That necklace, it’s not just some hei
