All Chapters of The Last Twilight: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

When Jules felt Shelby’s hand on his chest, he grabbed a nearby glass bottle from the table and swung it at her as hard as he could.Shelby cried out hysterically, “You punk, how dare you hit me?”She cackled wickedly. “You should consider yourself lucky that I’ve taken an interest in you at all. Can’t you see that your wife is done with you? Now that she’s given you over to me, you should know better and start serving me!”Jules was on the verge of exploding from sheer anger. It was horrifying to think that Layla would do something like this to him for Roland’s sake.For the past five years, he had devoted himself to her. He had given up almost everything he had for the sake of her company.He did all that just for her to hurt him repeatedly for another man.With that, he clutched the broken bottle and threatened Shelby with it while shaking all over. “I’m not the kind of man you take me for! All of you women are disgusting!”Jules started to back away toward the window and too

“Yes.”Layla nodded, but at the same time, she was overcome with complex emotions.Roland smiled. “Great. Why don’t I help you shower, my dear wife?”She felt a sharp throb inside her heart when she heard Roland addressing her with such affectionate terms.What came to mind was Jules, along with the familiar sound of his voice calling out to her. “Honey, guess what I’m doing?“Honey, I just landed a hundred million dollar deal! How are you going to reward me?“Honey, I got you a wedding anniversary gift! Do you like it?”It suddenly occurred to Layla that their wedding anniversary was only two days away.In the past, she would have started preparing a surprise gift for him days ahead. This year, she nearly forgot about it entirely until now.“Layla?”Roland felt an uneasy feeling settle in upon observing how distracted Layla looked.Could she be thinking about Jules?Suddenly, Layla excused herself. “Alright, I think I’ll be heading back.”“You’re going already?” Roland

“I’m sorry.”Layla was so occupied with Jules that she completely forgot about her promise to meet Roland to register their marriage today.She apologized dismissively, “I forgot. Let’s do it another day.”Roland insisted. “Why another day? The city hall hasn’t closed yet. We have time to do it today. Let’s go!”“I don’t have time.” Layla brushed him off, then slumped onto the couch. “You should head home.”Roland pressed her. “You’re looking for Jules, aren’t you? I’m sure he’s only playing up this whole disappearing act on purpose when he found out we were getting married. He’s only doing this to get a reaction out of you.”“Is that so?”Layla considered it for a moment. It did make sense, considering Jules did love her too much to simply leave her.He must have orchestrated this whole thing on purpose to scare her.Roland asked, “Shouldn’t he be at work today? Is he at the office?”Just as Layla was about to answer, she received a call from Ava Hunter, her assistant.“Mis

“Even by the time you turn thirty, you can’t even hope to compare yourself to Jules.”Roland did a double take and wondered if he had misheard. He was beside himself and asked in a baffled voice, “Layla, what do you mean by that?”Layla ignored him and grabbed the proposals left on the table.Upon swiping a quick glance over its contents, she immediately felt like she was going to pass out on the spot.It was a pathetic excuse for a proposal! It might as well be scrap paper!To make things worse, Jules had worked on this before resigning! What sort of revision could Roland possibly have made to mess it up this badly?She laughed cynically. “Now I understand why Jules has been telling me you were an idiot. You’re truly that dumb!”“Layla, how could you say that about me?” Roland frowned. “You know I hate being insulted for my intelligence! Have you forgotten you were the one who told me I was endearing? Besides, I graduated from the top university!”“From the top university, you

“Why?”“I just want Layla to know I’ve poached the person she loved most. I want her to go through the anguish of not getting to have what she wants more than anything. Is that not allowed?”Jules shook his head. He supposed that they were all fond of such devious games.From the rumors he’d heard, Layla and Delilah had been enemies since childhood.Even after all these years, they were still bickering like children.With that, he gave in. “Fine, this office works. I like the view.”“Anything works as long as you’re happy.”Suddenly, Delilah’s assistant entered the office and announced, “Miss Payton, Layla Turner is here. She says she wants to meet you as well as Mr. Fanon.”Delilah and Jules exchanged a glance.When Delilah observed the way Jules had settled into his new office chair while seemingly unfazed by the mention of Layla, she connected the dots.With that, she turned to her assistant. “Alright, tell her to wait for me in my office.”Meanwhile, Layla had been shown
