Divorced: Dear Ex It's Your Loss Chapter 28
•Juliet POV•"Of course," I said, finally gulping down the unease in me and masking it with a smile. "I'll have Eric look into that."He nodded slightly and brushed his hand against his beard softly, his eyes doing that seductive stare once more. I was forced to tell him to stop it, but the words wouldn’t come out when I caught him staring at my chest.A cold chill ran down my spine, prickling my nerves. "Is there anything else, Mr. Grigs?" I mustered the courage to speak, looking away from his gaze.He smirked and rested his back against the chair. "Yes. If you're not taking this partnership thing too professionally," he said, standing up and burying his hands in his pockets, "I'd like to take you out for dinner.""Dinner?" I muttered, almost as if asking myself if it was normal to go out for dinner with a man who stared at me like he was about to kill me... sexually. "I..." I opened my mouth to reply, but right then, there was a slight knock on the door, and it opened with Eric and

•Edward POV•I picked up the kettle and poured the hot water into the mug, nursing the tea for a while before walking to the kitchen island. I sat on the chair, resting my hand on the marble-tiled counter.My head ached badly, and the fact that my mind kept drifting back to my encounter with Juliet, and then Raya, the woman I once thought loved me, only worsened it. She had been manipulated by her mother, and now, I didn’t know what to feel anymore. My head was a rollercoaster of regret and confusion.If only I had known, I wouldn’t have...“Eddy! I knew I’d find you here,” Raya exclaimed as she rushed into the kitchen, wrapping her arms around me from behind. Her vanilla-scented perfume brushed past my nostrils. She placed a kiss on my neck, then my temple, but I didn’t move. If I had known she would be here, I would’ve instructed that she not be allowed past the gate.“I missed you so much,” she mumbled. When she noticed the coldness in my expression, she paused. I continued sipping

•Juliet POV•I watched as Dora and Eric packed the perfumes back into the cartons. Dora carried one and immediately headed towards the door. Eric leaned closer to grab another carton, but I called out to him."Eric, hold on with that."He straightened up, looking in my direction.I walked back to my seat and plopped down on it, my gaze drifting toward the door as I waited for Dora to completely leave the room before turning back to him."Concerning what I asked you the last time," I began, my voice tightening as I fought off the anxiety of hearing a negative response. "Have you found any man who's willing?"Eric’s curious look dropped. He stepped closer."I'm on it, Miss Ryder. The few guys I've seen that are interested aren't meeting the expectations. But I’ll keep looking.""Okay," I said quietly. I picked up a file from the table, skimmed through it briefly, then handed it to him. "I’ve gone through it. You can leave now."He gave a slight nod, placed the file on top of the carton,

•Juliet’s POV•"Thank you," I said politely, handing the dress to the sales assistant. She took it with a nod, her heels clicking softly as she walked away to prepare the items for packaging and payment."I’ll get this ready for checkout," she murmured, disappearing through the curtain that separated the dressing rooms from the sales floor.Left alone, I smoothed the hem of my blazer and stared at myself in the full-length mirror. My reflection looked uncertain, eyes darting, lips pressed tightly together. I sighed, dragging my fingers through my hair before stepping out and sinking onto the plush velvet couch just outside the dressing area.My thoughts wandered to James. Why did I even entertain the idea of going to dinner with him? The way he looked at me lately, like he was trying to seduce me. Could I really sit across from him, pretending not to notice his intense gaze or the silent desire behind it?I pressed my hand on my temple as I start to consider the options in my mind.

•Juliet’s POV•I stood close to the car, resting my back against it as I stared towards the entrance of Jace’s school. I would've gone inside with Eric to pick Jace up, but I felt it would be quicker if I stayed out here.Eric was more straightforward when it came to picking Jace up, he’d just walk in, say a few greetings, and walk out with Jace. Unlike me, who usually had to make small talk and take longer.Just a minute later, as expected, Eric walked out of the school with Jace beside him. His finger clung tightly to Jace’s tiny ones as they walked closer. The moment Jace saw me, he let go of Eric’s hand and started running towards me. His steps picked up speed as Eric tried to stop him, but instead, I ran to meet him and scooped him up the moment I reached him. I carried him in my arms and turned around.“Oh, my baby, I’ve missed you,” I murmured, placing kisses on his cheeks and forehead.He giggled softly. “I miss you more, Mummy,” he mumbled, placing his lips on my cheek. “Mwah

Edward’s POVI stared at the lavish design of the diner perched on the top floor of a two-story building, its glassy display reflecting the moonlight above.“Sera Diner,” I muttered in awe. According to the few rumors I’d heard about this place, it was enough to know it was one of the most expensive and classic spots, somewhere anyone would dream of visiting.“Yes, my love,” Raya chuckled, grabbing my arm the moment we got out of the car. “One of the best diners in New York. It’s as special as the love I have for you.”I smiled. “Well, I’m impressed,” I mumbled, admiring her once more and how beautiful she looked. Her red hair cascaded in curly waves, bouncing on her shoulders. The sleek black bodycon dinner dress hugged her curves perfectly, showing off just enough to make me want to keep staring.“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” Raya said happily as we walked toward the entrance. “Wait until we get inside and you see the VIP spot. Your mind is going to be blown away.”“Now I’m

•Juliet POV•"I was just about to accept that you won't come, and then you did," James said, staring at me, his eyes doing what they knew how to do best. Make me feel uncomfortable.I gulped, forcing a smile at him. "I had to. It wouldn't be nice if I let a business partner down, would it?" I replied, keeping my tone casual. As I looked away from his gaze and grabbed the menu on the table. "Business partner," he chuckled, flashing a boyish smile my way. "You know this is beyond business. I'm interested in you."I looked up at him hastily, and regretted it immediately."I want to get to know you, Juliet. You’re a beautiful woman, and any man would die to be with you."I scoffed, giving a thin-lipped smile. "Thanks for the compliment, James. But you should know by now that what you're aiming at isn’t possible. I’m a married woman, and I have a kid.""That’s not what your son said," James smirked. "You can’t lie about something to—""Juliet, what are you doing here?" a familiar voice sh

Edward’s POVThe rage in me grew with every second as I walked out of the diner, the scene back there prickling at my pulse like I'd been stabbed. Who the hell was that guy, and why did he think he could hold her or look at her like that? I felt like punching the hell out of him until I was sure he’d never come near her again.“Eddy, why aren’t you saying anything?” Raya asked, struggling to keep up with my pace.I stopped in my tracks, and she almost collided into me. I turned toward her, my hands balled into fists.“Haven’t had enough? I told you not to go there, not to create a scene, but you didn’t listen to me.”“I’m sorry,” she said, her voice sounding more sober now. “But she was getting more of your attention than I was.” She pointed to her chest, tears filling her eyes. “Every time Juliet is around, you act like I don’t exist.”“You’re talking nonsense,” I shot back. “You’re always in your head, and I’ve always tried to put up with your behavior everytime you act without thin

Edward's POVI didn’t respond to his question but instead focused my attention on Jace, who was staring up at me.“But Mummy said you shouldn’t,” Jace said, shaking his head.“Your mummy doesn’t want your daddy around you… Do you want that too?” I asked gently, making sure Jace understood that I was his father.“Are you my daddy?” he asked innocently. “But Mummy said you’re a bad man.”“Oh, he is so cute, and he talks just like you,” Josh said as he reached out to take Jace’s hand in his. “Hey, little Edward. I’m your uncle. My name is Josh.”Jace smiled and reached out to grab Josh’s cheek, pulling it slightly. “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Josh.”“Jace!” a woman called from inside the classroom. She rushed outside, her face lined with worry. But when she saw Josh and me, her expression turned even sterner.“Who are you?” she demanded, walking over to take Jace from my arms. But Jace shifted reluctantly.“Jace, what did I tell you about strangers?” she asked firmly.“He’s not a strange

Edward POV"Mr. Miles, I'll suggest you stay in the hospital until we're sure the fever is completely out of your system," the nurse said as she walked into the room. She was a young lady with charcoal-black hair neatly packed up in a bun."I've been trying to tell him that, but he doesn't want to listen," Josh told the nurse before turning to look in my direction."I'm fine, and I no longer feel the hangover," I said firmly."I can't agree with that," the nurse replied, doing a few checkups before looking down at her notepad. "But if you insist, then we can get you a private nurse to keep watch while you're at home. She’ll ensure you receive the proper treatment until the fever is completely cleared from your system.""That's okay with me," Josh shrugged, and I sighed."Alright then, you can be discharged," the nurse said before walking out.Once she was gone, I pulled myself up from the bed and walked over to the window, letting the fresh air brush against my face."So, what are you

•Juliet POV•"Thank you for dropping me off," I told James as I stepped out of his car. He closed the door and looked toward the mansion, his eyes widening in awe."This is where you stay?" he mumbled, and I immediately started to regret letting him drive me home, and not only that, but also letting him pull into the parking space."Yes," I replied, removing his jacket from my body. But he stopped me, his hand resting gently on mine, causing a million sparks to fly immediately."You can keep that," he said.I shook my head. "No, thanks. I don't need it anymore. Besides, I'm home," I interjected, my gaze flickering to his hand, which was still resting on mine."I insist. And if you still want to give it back, do it when next we meet," he said, his voice surprisingly calm."Okay," I murmured, shifting slightly, trying to step away from him to maintain some distance. His hand left mine in return, and I felt a wave of relief.I turned towards the mansion. "Have a good night, Mr. Grigs.""

•Edward POV•A sharp antiseptic smell burned my nostrils as soon as I blinked into the soft white light above me. My vision blurred for a second, then cleared, revealing pale ceiling tiles and the soft whirring of machines beside me. My throat felt like sandpaper, and a seething headache ran through my forehead.I shifted and hastily pushed myself up to sit. Looking around, I noticed the white walls, monitors, and the bandage wrapped around my arm. What am I doing in a hospital?The question echoed in my mind until my gaze shifted toward the window. Josh was curled awkwardly in a chair, legs folded, arms crossed like he hadn’t moved in hours.His head rested against the glass, the soft amber light from outside framing his face. He looked uncomfortable as hell but still fast asleep.I let my body sink back against the bed again, exhaling a breath carefully through my nose.“I told you I was fine,” I muttered under my breath, though the hoarseness in my voice made it sound more like a g

• Juliet POV •"Get your hands off me," James snapped, slapping the bouncer’s hand away as his gaze immediately flicked toward the exit door of the diner. He released his balled fist and reached up to touch the blood trailing from his nostrils, staring at his fingers now coated in red.I looked around for my purse and spotted it on a chair. Grabbing it, I walked over to meet him."I'm sorry for what happened tonight," I apologized, even though the mess wasn’t entirely my fault.I blamed myself anyway, if I had just turned down his offer and stayed home, none of this would have happened."You don't have to apologize," he said, shaking his head. I glanced around for a napkin to give him, something to help wipe his nose. "I feel terrible for not putting that dickhead where he belongs."I didn’t have a response to that, so I kept quiet. James was all rigid muscle and built like a wall, so different from Edward’s leaner frame. I wasn’t sure I would’ve enjoyed watching Edward get beat up, n
