•Edward POV•The sharp ringing of my phone pulled me out of sleep. My eyes fluttered open, and I realized I was still lying close to Juliet. My arm was wrapped protectively around her waist, and her slow, steady breathing told me she was still in deep sleep. Carefully, I slipped my hand away, not wanting to wake her, and sat up on the edge of the bed.The sound of my phone continued, muffled against the fabric of my pocket. I pulled it out quickly, glancing at the caller ID before answering.“Hello, Eric,” I said, standing and walking quietly toward the open window. The early morning breeze rushed against my face, cool and refreshing. From here, the city stretched wide and alive, lights still glowing faintly against the fading night.“Good morning, Mr. Miles,” Eric greeted politely. “The police came to the house. They want more information on what we know about James. I already told them what I know, but they insist they need to talk to you.”I ran a hand through my hair, releasing a

•Edward POV•The moment the elevator door slid open, I stepped out and made my way to the car. Everything happening felt surreal to me. I still couldn’t believe that James had gotten to this new hospital.How did he know she was here? Could it be that he had followed me the day I moved Juliet here?The question pulled up in my mind as I thought back to the moment that led to all this. It was almost as if I knew this would happen, and I was glad the hospital had security cameras in every ward. When I got the call that a strange man entered Juliet’s room, the first person that came to my mind was James, but then I thought that would be impossible.I didn’t waste time. I rushed out of the house to the car. Eric must have noticed the tension in my voice when I answered the call, because he followed and got into the car with me. It was not until I was on the road that I found the courage to tell him what was happening.Eric had said it was an opportunity for us to catch James, so he immedi

•Juliet POV•I felt a sudden rush of anger in me and was about to say something to her, tears threatening to spill down my cheeks as the thought of my dad came to my mind, but Vera placed her hand on my shoulder, and that was like ice to my fire.I sniffled, looking away from my mother who was still on the floor, her words blending into a blur I didn’t even want to hear. How could she say that? I had heard my mother talk about my dad in a way that wasn’t good countless times, but hearing her say it at that moment cut deeper than before.“Mrs. Ryder, I think you should leave,” Vera said sharply, her tone laced with irritation. “Isn’t it obvious that whatever you’re doing is only making things worse?”My mother looked up, shooting Vera a deadly stare before shifting her gaze back to me. “Juliet, I know you can create a space in your heart to forgive me for all I’ve done in the past.”“Seems more like the past, present, and future to me,” Vera huffed, rolling her eyes dramatically.“Forg

•Juliet POV•A slight knock on the door pulled us out of the conversation. I looked toward the direction as Eric walked in."Miss Ryder, the conference room is set for the meeting," he said, glancing at the tab in his hand. "I've informed Jerry to be present and he is here already.""Okay, Eric," I replied, rising from the chair. He gave a small nod and left the office, closing the door softly behind him.Vera jumped up from the couch, her eyes glittering with excitement. "Let’s go have the meeting, bossy lady," she muttered playfully.I smiled, shaking my head at her teasing. Picking up my tablet, we made our way out of the office and down the hallway toward the conference room.When we stepped in, Edward and Eric were already seated close to each other, their heads bent over Eric’s screen. Edward’s finger moved constantly, pointing to something, while Eric muttered a reply under his breath. Across from them, Jerry sat straight-backed, his laptop opened in front of him.I inhaled dee

•Edward POV•"Leo, are you sure this is the store?" I asked, staring at the huge shopping mall in front of me through the window of my car.I parked a meter away from it. Jace was sitting in the passenger seat next to me, busy playing with his tab."Yes sir," Leo’s voice came through the speaker. "I saw her walk in there with her son. She does this every Thursday.""Okay. I’m going to walk in and stick to the plan. Thank you for the information," I muttered before ending the call.Sliding the phone into my pocket, I turned to look at Jace. He was still focused on his game, his little face serious as his fingers tapped away. I brushed my hand gently through his curly hair, making him look up at me with those bright eyes."Are you ready, buddy? Let’s go get that Lego set you’ve always wanted."A wide smile spread across his lips. He quickly reached forward, setting his mini tab on the dashboard. "Okay, Daddy."I unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and opened the door for him. Li
