After Dating Julian Vance For 6 Years Novels & Stories

He seemed so comfortable with his head on my lap. "We fell in love and started dating, and that continued even after high school. We had to do it secretly because she had strict parents. We dated for two years. I was twenty-two and she was twenty when we broke up," Julian continued. "But she got married at twenty. Did she..." I paused, evaluating if it was fine to say it. I decided to continue, "Did she cheat on you?" Julian laughed. "Who knows? She came all of a sudden one day and said she was going to France for the sake of her career. I was struggling then, and her future would never be secure if she stayed with me."

Vance, my Beta and my asshole cousin, greeted me as I climbed down the stairs. He was a few months younger than me but couldn't wait for his true mate. Riley was interested in him for years and so he proposed to her right after they finished college. I thought I had plenty of time and didn't want to do something like that. Guess my time's up. If my mate is still some twelve year old kid, I'm obviously not waiting for her for another six years. I would turn feral before that. Guys who were barely eighteen ran into their mates while they were on their way to pee at a bar or McDonalds. Vance and I went to many such bars and clubs, hoping to see if my mate was human.

"I should've expected it. I was too caught up in taking the next step that I didn't even realise she didn't want this. Vanessa was pulling away from me the moment I told her that I loved her." "You told her you loved her.."I shook my head. "That was a big mistake right there. She's weird when it comes to that stuff, I think it has something to do with an old boyfriend of hers." "Jeremy. I know he fucked her up." "He did, but I'm not talking about him. This was before him... before me."I looked at Colin, sensing how intrigued he was."She dated a guy for a while before me and she loved him. But things turned sour after a couple of months, he became this controlling person and she couldn't take

I don't know when Adrian and Vanessa left, or how long I cried. Later, sitting at my desk in the wash of moonlight, I finally opened the Pandora's box of a journal. May 21, 2015. Not only did I propose, but I also married Adrian Halloway! I want the whole world to know! I, Juliana Rowe, am no longer a lovesick fool. I'm Mrs. Halloway!

“Oh, come on! I need details! What happened between them? What’s her deal?” After a long pause and a dramatic sigh I finally caved. “Fine. Vanessa and Julian dated back in college. He told me she cheated on him, broke his heart, and then came crawling back when she found out he was rich.” Rosy gasped, her eyes wide. “What? She broke up with him? She must be insane!” “Apparently,” I said with a shrug. “Julian didn’t take her back, though. He said she didn’t deserve a second chance.”

She had rejected him coldly, thinking he would never amount to anything. But times had changed drastically. Vanessa’s father was a local politician, and over the last few years, she had watched Julian rise to become a global billionaire superstar. For a very long time, Vanessa had been trying so hard to link up with Julian again. She deeply regretted rejecting him. However, it was almost impossible to reach him. Most of the elite parties Julian was invited to were extremely high socialite events, the type that required exclusive VIP passes that weren't offered to a common politician’s daughter. She had only managed to get into this party tonight through a lucky connection.

He would help me no matter what happened. However, it also meant giving up Julian. I refused to accept defeat. I truly believed our love could survive anything. As such, for the past five years, no matter how hard life became, I never bowed my head to my family. That was until Vivian appeared. At first, Julian did not pay any special attention to her. After Vivian revealed she was a rich heiress and landed the company a million-dollar deal as a newcomer, everything changed. Julian started getting close to her. He took her out to dinner, went shopping with her, and played games with her.

I squeezed his hand without looking away from my father. "I wanted him since I was nineteen and that is disgusting to you, I know," I said. "It disgusted me too for a long time. Then I got tired of being ashamed for wanting something good. He is good, Dad. He is the best man I know. Even when he is an idiot. Especially then." Vanessa snorted from the doorway. One of the agents elbowed her. Julian stared at his hands. Big hands, like Kael's, scarred at the knuckles from years of building something out of nothing. "You are pregnant."

She hadn't covered for him out of kindness; she had done it to show him that she could manipulate Elara whenever she wanted. Julian closed his eyes, the cold air biting at his face. The press event inside was a massive success for Vance & Associates, but as he listened to the distant sound of applause from the lobby, he knew the foundation of his life was starting to crack, and he was running out of ways to hold it together.

Emma Hart had been Nicholas Vance's executive assistant for eight years. That was 2,640 days of 5:30 AM wake-up calls. 1,185 meticulously organized business trips. 840 rejected blind dates arranged by his mother. 392 cups of coffee delivered at precisely 7:40 AM — two sugars, a dash of cream, stirred exactly six times counterclockwise. And one unforgettable Christmas Eve when she'd sat alone in the office until midnight, waiting for him to finish a merger, only for him to walk past her desk without saying goodbye.
