•Juliet POV•

“Mummy, is that man a bad person?” Jace asked as we both walked into his room. His small hands tugged at the hem of my blouse while his big blue eyes stared up at me with quiet curiosity. He glanced at his nearly made bed with the beige-colored blanket and brown pillows, waiting for my answer.

I knew he was referring to James, one thing about Jace was that he is a curious kid and always want to know the details of people, especially the ones I ask him not to be familiar with.

“He’s not a bad person, baby,” I said gently, helping him up onto the bed. I pulled the blanket up to his waist and tucked him in as he blinked up at me, still waiting.

“He’s mummy’s business partner,” I added, trying to keep my tone casual.

He nodded slowly, accepting the answer for now. I leaned down, ran my fingers through his soft curls, and pressed a kiss to his cheek, then to his forehead.

“I love you, baby.”

“I love you too, mummy,” he murmured, a sleepy smile on his lips.

His eyes fluttered c

    •Edward’s POV•“Mr. Miles, here’s the report you asked for,” Ellen, my office assistant, said as she walked in and handed over a slim blue file to me.I took it from her, my brows slightly furrowing as I flipped it open. My eyes scanned the neatly typed figures and charts on the report, but the more I read, the tighter my grip grew on the file. A cold rush spread through my chest, and my jaw tightened.“What’s this, Ellen?” I asked, my voice low but laced with simmering disappointment.Lately, I had been unsettled about the performance of my latest perfume line, the new design and fragrance we launched had been my personal project. I had poured time, energy, and resources into it. Yet, the gut feeling that something was wrong wouldn’t let me rest, so I decided to have a full report pulled.And there it was, staring right back at me like a slap in the face.“Why are the order numbers dropping every day?” I demanded, my tone sharper now as I slid the file back across the table toward he

    •Edward POV•I sat in the car, staring at the building in front of me. The engine was off, and silence filled the cabin as I glanced down at my phone to confirm the address one more time before stepping out.The school loomed ahead, modern and massive, with sleek glass panels, whitewashed walls, and colorful murals painted along the sides. A large banner fluttered gently above the entrance that read Welcome Back, Little Stars! The laughter of children echoed across the open grounds, some tugging their backpacks while others ran into their parents’ arms."Cool," I muttered under my breath, taking in the sheer size of the place. The damn school looked more like a mini college campus than a preschool.I started walking toward the front entrance, my hands stuffed in the pockets of my jacket, scanning the crowd. I had no clue where Jace would be or what class he was in."Why do I keep listening to Josh?" I groaned through clenched teeth. That idiot sent me a location pin with zero detail.

    •Juliet's POV•“This new design should be our best masterpiece,” I said, staring at my staff seated around the conference table, their eyes fixed on me in anticipation. “Does anyone else have a suggestion about the distribution?”“I think, concerning distribution, our sales have been up,” Jerry, my accountant, said, glancing down at his tablet. “I’d suggest that once we release the new design, we inform our clients immediately. Also, there should be a slight raise in price.”“That’s a great idea, Jerry,” I nodded, turning back to the projected figures on the screen.“And the fragrance should be different,” Dora, Jerry’s PA, added.I shifted my attention to her. “The fragrance has always been unique, Dora, but sure, we can go over some new scents once the samples arrive.”A sudden creaking sound distracted me, and I turned toward the door. Eric stood there, panting and drenched in sweat like he had just run a marathon. My eyes instinctively searched behind him for Jace, but he wasn’t t

    •Juliet POV•The car stopped in front of Grace Gourmet Shop, a fancy building painted in brown and white. I got out of the car without waiting for Eric to open the door for me and made my way in haste toward the building.The moment I stepped in, a woman with black short dreadlocks and a brown skirt paired with a white shirt approached me. “Hello, ma'am. What would you like to order?" she asked, masking a smile that was the opposite of my expression.I ignored her question and looked around in search of Edward or Jace, but I couldn’t find them. “Would you like me to help you with something, ma'am?" the lady asked again, and I finally turned in her direction.“I’m looking for Edward Miles and a little boy about the age of three,” I told her.She looked behind her for a moment, then looked back at me. “I don’t take note of customers' identities, and I haven't seen anyone that matched with that description.”I bit my lower lip in frustration. Exhaustion finally overtook me, and I felt my

"But he told me he is my daddy, he said you use to be his wife.“I feel a heat up my sleeves as I heard Jace asked these questions. Edward thought he could convince my son that he is part of him but I won't let that happened, as long as I'm concerned Edward isn't coming anywhere close to my son."Baby, promise mummy you won't believe anything that man tells you again,” I said still brushing my hand through Jace hair, he nodded softly and then close his eyes.I took a deep breath when I noticed he had drifted off to sleep, grateful that I found Jace and that Edward didn't do more than taking Jace from school to have ice cream. The moment we got into the house and I settled Jace in his room, I made my way to my room upstairs thinking of my next move to take in protecting my son.I

    •Edward POV•I pushed my hand against the steering wheel, honking at the car in front of me in anger as Juliet’s voice replayed in my head like a disturbing alarm. Her eyes, the way she stared at me as if I was nothing more than a nuisance, hurt more than I had ever hurt her.I glared at the car ahead, not realizing how pissed I was until I found myself honking repeatedly. The man behind the wheel raised his hand in a sorry gesture. I stop, resting my hand on the window frame while my head leaned against it.The memory of Juliet came crashing back like a wave. A reminder of how terribly I had neglected her. Before I married Juliet, I had seen her as nothing, despite the fact that she had always approached me when Raya acted like she didn’t even know I existed. I didn’t realize how deeply Juliet loved me until after I married her. And now, letting her go was the biggest mistake I had ever made.The car in front finally moved, and I turned the steering wheel slowly. I couldn’t be wrong,

    •Juliet’s POV•"Be a good boy for Mummy, okay?" I told Jace as I leaned close and pressed a soft kiss on his forehead before standing up."Mrs. Ryder, I’m so sorry about yesterday," Miss Bianca apologize once more. I gave her a knowing smile as Jace clung to my hand, his small fingers wrapped tightly around mine."No problem," I mumbled, looking down at Jace as he stared back at me. "As long as my cute little dumpling is safe, I’m happy.""Mummy, I'm not safe here," Jace complained. "I want to go to the office with you.""No, baby," Miss Bianca said, gently taking Jace’s hand from mine. "This is where you should be, at school. Let Mummy handle the office stuff."Jace shook his head in disagreement but didn't struggled with miss Bianca. I smiled as I watched Jace being led away reluctantly, his gaze still fixed on me. He didn’t look happy, and I knew why. Jace was a smart kid, who love to play but other kids his age found it uncomfortable. At his age, most kids didn’t worry about makin

    "Urgh... Edward... Arghh, please... fuck me harder... I'm all yours."Raya’s voice echoed through the walls, her moans blending with the rhythmic squeaking of the bed. My breath caught in my throat, my body locking in place as I stood at the doorway, unable to look away.The moment my mother called after three years of silence, pretending to care, I should have sensed there was an ulterior motive. When she mentioned my step-sister had an accident and urged me to check on her, I should have known it was a lie.But nothing could have prepared me for this.My body went numb, all the blood rushing to my feet, leaving me hollow. I stood just a few feet away from the room, with the door wide open enough for me to see my husband, the man I had given five years of my life loving and supporting holding onto my step-sister waist as he slammed into her harder.“Yes, fuck me,” Raya moaned louder, her voice slicing through my skull like a jagged arrow. A silent sob built in my chest, but when I op

My hand gripped her waist firmly, her soft skin brushing against my lap as our bodies moved in rhythm.“Yes, harder, Eddy!” she screamed, her voice trembling with intensity.I increased my pace, feeling the tight coil inside me ready to snap. Her body tensed beneath me, trembling as I drove deeper into her, stretching her even more. The sound of skin against skin echoed around us, mingling with her breathless moans and my groans of pleasure.I let out a guttural sound as the release hit me hard, my body jerking as I spilled my seed deep inside her. My arms shook, and I finally collapsed beside her, breath ragged and chest heaving.Raya crawled up to me, her body warm against mine, and rested her head on my chest. She let out short, panting breaths as she calmed, the aftermath of our passion leaving her flushed and trembling.I wrapped
