All Chapters of Second Chance As A Billionaire's Wife : Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

Elara gazed at him with wide eyes, her breath getting shallower by the second. Her thoughts spiraled in various directions, yet none could provide answers to her questions.Julian's brows furrowed even more.“Elara, what—” Julian raised his hand to feel her cheek, but before it could come in contact with it, Elara hurriedly left the room.She made her way to the kitchen and immediately grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.Thankfully, everyone in the household had retired to bed.Chugging down the water in heavy gulps, she dropped the bottle on the counter, heaving out deep breaths as she tried to steady her emotions after this huge discovery.Julian had died... Or more correctly, Julian will die. But why?Was it an accident?Did he have an underlying sickness she wasn't aware of?Was he murdered?The more she thought about the various possibilities that presented themselves, the quicker her heart raced.How much of her knowledge could she trust at this point when the past she wa

For a brief moment, Elara stood rooted to the spot, staring in the direction Julian had taken.“...right, Elara? Elara?”“Huh?” Elara blinked, turning to face Aria.“What were you saying?”Aria exchanged glances with the others before looking at her.“We were thinking if we should go on a trip. Your birthday is next month,” Aria said.Elara smiled. “That would be nice,” she muttered.“Great! Let’s go. I’m hungry.” Aria held Elara’s arm as they were guided to their table.Walking into the VIP sector, Elara’s gaze locked with Julian’s. He was sitting not far from her.Once again, he looked away.Her chest tightened as she looked away too, feeling a boiling sensation rising in her chest.They all settled at their assigned table, and the attendant began taking their orders.Soon after, their food arrived.They all ate while discussing and laughing in between.Henry immediately gulped down a glass of wine as he nearly choked from laughing at something Isabel said.Elara laughed at the scen

Morning...Elara slowly sat up in bed as she let out a sleepy yawn, grabbing her phone to check the time. Her brows furrowed when she saw it was eleven in the morning.Talking with Julian all night must have made her oversleep. Thankfully, she still had one more hour to get ready for the big event—the runway.Her lips curled as she made her way to the bathroom.Freshened and fully clothed, she walked downstairs while wearing her necklace when a sweet aroma wafted in the air.Making her way to the kitchen, her brows rose when she saw the bouquet of peonies lying next to a tray of freshly cooked meal.“When does he even have time to make all this?” Elara chuckled as she picked the bouquet, inhaling its sweet scent.“How does he know it’s my favorite?” Elara’s smile widened. Her gaze caught the note attached to the bouquet.She opened it.~Nothing better to start a day than your favorite flower and favorite meal, enjoy. Good luck, Kitten.~Elara scoffed. “So old-fashioned,” she grinned.

The venue for the after-party was bustling with loud music and chatter. The air was fun and upbeat, with some celebrities and guests taking pictures and videos together while others drank and danced away their sorrows.Julian sat alone in the quieter corner of the venue, sipping on a glass of cold whiskey while his gaze swept across the hall.“J,” a lady smiled, holding a bottle of alcohol as she slumped onto the seat next to Julian.She had short hair and wore a gown that left little to nothing to the imagination, exposing the back tattoo that adorned her entire back.“What a surprise we have here. I thought I'd never get to see you in person again, Mr. Director,” she smiled as she leaned closer to Julian, her hand slowly caressing his thigh.“You're still the same, I can see. They never seem to find you missing at any party,” Julian smiled at her.The lady laughed too loudly before bringing her face closer to his. “I can't say the same thing for you, though. You stopped responding t
