Julia Schlaepfer Married Novels & Stories

Five years of pouring my heart out now felt like nothing but a joke. After dinner, Peter went out as usual to “take out the trash.” Half a year ago, Julia Sharp separated from her husband and moved into our neighborhood. She had married a rich man before even finishing college. According to her, her husband had violent tendencies and wouldn’t stop harassing her. Peter wanted to make sure she was safe at home. The sound of the door opening pulled me out of my thoughts. Maybe he was afraid we’d argue again, so he added a few more words.

But then Julia had come along, and Stephen had systematically traded that beautiful, genuine joy for cold, political ambition. He slowly pulled his gaze away from the bleachers, looking over his shoulder to where his new mate was standing. Julia wasn't watching the match. She wasn't cheering for the Claw Mountain fighters. Instead, she was pressed up against the ropes of the holding area, blatantly and aggressively flirting with a massive warrior scheduled for the next round. She was twisting a lock of her hair, batting her eyelashes, and entirely ignoring the fact that her mate was standing less than twenty feet away.

Nonetheless, Julian's curt reply was intimidating. Even through the phone, it was effective in scaring James so much that he felt weak in the knees. It was only after the call ended that he managed to calm down and breathe normally once again. He glared hard at the woman next to him. “Has Julian fought with Kayla recently?” “No,” Lucy, the woman, replied. “Kayla told me that Julian treats her very well, and was even willing to get a divorce for her sake.” A cheerful glint flashed past her eyes as she went on, “James, when our daughter Kayla officially becomes Mrs. Fulcher, will you make me your official wife too? I don’t want to stay in the kitchen and wait on that old hag anymore…”

But the one on her right, she had become deathly still. “You can’t just come in here and bother my guests,” the elderly woman shouted as she followed along behind them. “Girls, I am sorry for this intrusion.” The girl on the right, the one who had become as still as a statue, suddenly flushed and said, “Don’t you worry, Martha. I know this man.” “Indeed,” was all that Julia said. “What are you doing here, Julio?” she asked sharply. Jackson knew from the images that this woman was none other than Natalia Cerone, Julio’s wife. She indeed was a beautiful woman. She also appeared to be extremely standoffish. It was times like these when he wondered if she shouldn’t have gone into another line of

Her presence felt like a gentle but insistent nudge, a reminder of the weight of family ties and responsibilities. Julia linked her arm with mine, and we walked together into the hallway. Mrs. Baker followed, her footsteps echoing softly against the tiled floor. She cleared her throat, drawing our attention. “Julia, Elijah,” she began, her voice steady yet tinged with a plea. “I know it’s not the easiest time, but I must renew my request. The two of you have always been inseparable… And now, you both are at the right age. You can get married and live a great life together.”

Then I took the groceries to the junk collector community in Key Pu Tranh – where Papadopoulos and Aretha live. Because Julia helped me a lot, that was why I fell in love with her over time. Since childhood, I also started learning sign language just to be able to communicate with her. But it was all gone. Everything I did for Julia had to end. Before, I had asked Julia if she would marry Gerald. At that time, Julia replied that she still did not know it. But in time, Julia had to choose. I still remember that day. And I told her I could understand whatever Julia's decision would be. You see, because her family was poor, Julia must get married soon to lighten the burden on the family. Moreov

Julia thought, or did he go back to his parents' house? Julia shook her head, not wanting to think too much about Lucas. They had only been married for a few days, and she didn’t know who Lucas really was. It could be that he had a girlfriend before raping her five years ago. And he was forced to leave her because he had to marry her because he wanted to be responsible for her. Julia's thoughts were jumbled, thinking about Lucas's personality, which she didn't know very well. "Maybe your dad has a lot of work to do, honey, so he works overtime and doesn't have time to come home!" Julia said softly, comforting her son who was upset.

Julia, also spotting me, stepped away to give us privacy. I noticed Sheila starting to walk toward Lucian. Julia smoothly got in her way, distracting her with some question or another. Not for the first time, I was deeply appreciative of Julia. Gods, I would miss her. “Lucian,” I said as I came to stand before him. “Aria,” he replied. For a brief moment, neither of us said a word. The air between us now felt somewhat awkward, like neither of us truly knew what to say here, in the aftermath of our failed marriage.

"Prepare the Scythe for the Union!" ​I looked at Julian, my heart stopping. He wasn't looking at the priest. He was looking at the woman, Elara, who was now riding by his side, a triumphant smile on her face. ​In this life, I wasn't his lover. I was the sacrifice for his wedding.

Julian responded, sitting slightly up. "She is not supposed to be here! You know she is crushing on you right?" Eva said. "Yes, but that was ten years ago." "It doesn't go away, honey!" "She is married with kids; it can't happen." Eva tilted her brows as she stared at him with hands akimbo. "What is it?" "You talk as if you haven't slept with a married woman with kids before." "I did, but none of them told me they are married with children," Julian said.
