He Divorced Me. Now He Wants Me Back Chapter 26
Julie had ignored her words and walked straight to the bathroom before letting herself fall apart. If there was anyone who couldn’t know about the father of her kids, it was Melinda. She would definitely wield that information against her. She’d made sure to retire to bed immediately, leaving no room for any sort of conversation between them. The next morning they all gathered at the entrance to start the first activity of the day.Jotham couldn’t keep his eyes off Julie. She looked like she was barely able to get any sleep and it made him wonder what had gone down in their room. With Mirabel, you could never be sure. He’d have to get her alone and ask if she was okay.“We’ll be going hunting in the woods today.” The instructor was saying. “We’ll be using real guns so I’ll be going over the gun safety rules.”They all gathered together as he read the rules. Jotham was more concerned about the glint in Mirabel's eyes and wondered if she had anything dangerous in mind. Guns and a c

The gunshot rang out loud, echoing in the woods. Jotham’s fingers froze on his gun. He looked around frantically for Julie but did not see her. He ran to Marcus to ask where she was.“She said she was going to give her kids a call and left,” he answered fearfully. “Where is Mirabel?” When he found her, she had her gun trained in the opposite direction. He read the crazy look in her eyes immediately and hoped that he had read it wrong and she hadn’t done what he was thinking.Except she had. Julie was a bleeding mess on the floor.“Julie!” he screamed as soon as he sighted her. He wouldn’t forgive himself for leaving her when he knew her sister was up to no good. He gently lifted her up, observing her wound. Luckily, the bullet had only grazed her arm but it still hurt a lot. Julie couldn’t stop herself from crying and clinging onto Jotham.When she got better, he would worry about the stair stains she had left on his jacket. She held on tight as he carried her back to the resort, t

Jotham was fast learning that sometimes money could not solve all his problems. He’d offered to pay extra if they could get anyone to forfeit their rooms. The answer had been a solid no. He walked over to Julie with a single room key. “Let’s get you rested.”She followed him, standing to the side as he opened the door and let them both in. The room was smaller than anything he’d been in. It was just that it was a single bed, it was a really small bed and they’d have to be cuddled up if they were both going to fit. Julie looked around the bathroom, it was only good enough to spend the night. But she was still grateful that she had somewhere to rest her head away from the storm.She didn’t want to imagine what would’ve happened if the storm had started when they were going up the hill to the resort. They would have both been doomed. She was surprised to see Jotham when she came out from examining the bathroom. “There’s no need for you to stay with me, I’ll be fine. I’ll change the

Julie’s scream rang through the space as she looked through the TV what what remained of the car. A huge tree branch had fallen due to the storm and crashed on top of the car.The windscreen was completely broken and the driver couldn’t be seen. But how could Julie have missed the little mob of black hair that was only visible from the side of the car through the window?“That’s him!” she yelled, still in shock. “How could you have let him leave?” she asked no one in particular. “We have to get to him now, I can still save him!” the hotel staff looked at her like she had lost it. It wasn’t until the bellman who had seen him leave with the rented car earlier recognized him that they got into action.There was an ambulance in the parking lot. They only let Julie follow them after she proved that she was a certified doctor and should follow them instead of waiting for the call-in doctor. Every second was crucial when it came to saving someone’s life. They left in the blinding rain to s

Julie made sure his pillow was properly prepped and he wasn’t exerting too much force on his injured side. When she was satisfied, she walked over to the couch and tried to make herself comfortable.It was a couple hours before she was able to drift into a dreamless sleep.This was the position Jotham found her in when he woke. Her arms were tucked under her head, and her knees were drawn up to her chest. Only looking at her he could tell she was uncomfortable on the couch.He tried to remember how he had gotten here. After Julie asked him to leave the room, he’d decided to try and make his way back to the resort. The storm couldn’t have been so bad in only under a few minutes. That had been his mistake. He’d gone head-on up the hill; it was the most stressful part of the journey, but after, it was a smooth road that wouldn’t require as much brain work.The branch had snapped and fallen on the car even before he made it to the foot of the hill. At that moment all he thought of was h

The journey back to the resort was quiet, each occupied with their own thoughts. Julie's curiosity was piqued, and she found herself wondering what specific details had slipped through the cracks of Jotham's memory.If he actually had forgotten about their divorce and what potential problem that could pose. She watched his actions closely to see if there was anything apart from his memory that she should be concerned about.The staff, including Mirabel and Marcus, were waiting at the entrance when their car pulled in. Everyone surrounded Jotham who seemed a bit overwhelmed with all the attention.“We heard what happened” “Are you doing alright?” “We were scared when you didn’t come back?”It was only Marcus who walked over to Julie to ask how she was doing. “You must’ve been very scared when it happened.”Julie nodded. “It was my fault he was out there in the first place.”He shook his head. “Don’t blame yourself, these things happen without any warning. How’s your arm?”She had tot

The trip was supposed to last for a whole week, but after Jotham’s accident, it was wrapped up, and they packed to go back to West Fort City. Mirabel lingered at the back because she needed to act immediately before she lost completely. She looked for Jotham but couldn't find him in the receiving area.She found him at the edge of the woods, something was troubling him. Looking out, he knew he was missing out on important info that he had intended to attend to when he got back to the resort. “Found you.”Jotham kept quiet like the disturbance would go away if he acted like she wasn’t there. She got the hint but she didn’t leave either.“What’s this business of calling Julie your wife?” She took a defensive stance in front of him to show that she meant business.“Of course, I’ll call her my wife because that is what she is?” he was puzzled by her outburst.“I don’t know what happened while you were both gone, but Julie is not your wife; you’ve never been married. The only woman you’v

Jotham's fingers absently twirled the ring in his hand throughout the entire journey. Despite his words to Mirabel, Jotham couldn't shake the feeling that his heart might be deceiving him.The bus rumbled on, carrying them toward their flight, which was now just sixty minutes away. Julie's eyes kept drifting back to Jotham, her glances fleeting but telling.Luckily for Mirabel, she had sat with Jotham. She wouldn’t have been able to stand it if he was being cuddled up with Julie instead.He’d put the ring in the pocket of his jacket and hadn’t brought it out ever since. She realized then that she’d go crazy if Jotham had given the ring back to Julie. Which wouldn’t make sense since Julie was married, right?She’d have to do her own research on Julie's husband; she’d never ever seen the man. Perhaps, they could join forces and work together.Marcus had seemed like a good comrade at first, but he really was doing a bad job at keeping Julie by his side. Julie was about to enter a cab wh

Mirabel had received a text from Jotham telling her to dress up for dinner and come meet him at the address he sent. Her best guess? He was going to break up with her publicly. Rightfully so. The game was coming to an end, but not for Mirabel. She had one last move to make on the chessboard.That day, she took extra care of her makeup and her hair. She’d cry, it was an easy task for her. It was staying pretty while that was the work, she had to look flawless in her pictures. After that, she rewarded herself with a glass of wine. Not everyone had the brains to pull off what she did. She knew that they’d collected the sample and sent it to the hospital and that in a couple of days, the paternity test results would be out. She could already guess what the result would be.Jotham was the father of the twins. She’d always thought of him as a smart businessman but he was downright dumb to the truth that was glaring in his face. She laughed a little on the inside. Her sister was a cunt.

The rumors that had been circulating online had taken a toll on Julie; it had been a hassle taking Astrid back to the hospital for her checkup cause she was trying to constantly avoid the media. Vesper sat beside Astrid, reading her stories. It made Julie grateful that they had each other. The doorbell rang and she froze. She’d become fidgety cause of the numerous bad comments she had read online lately. She was scared that the hate that Mirabel's fans were displaying online would somehow make it to her door. She wasn't just worried about herself—she was greatly worried about the kids too. Mirabel's fans can be very toxic. In walking over to the door, her face morphed into anger when she saw Jotham. She only let him in the cause of how caring he had been towards Astrid. She thinks avoiding Jotham is best for now even though he has been nothing but good and kind towards her and her kids. Sometimes, she secretly wished that they were actually a happy family. Jotham had really chang

"Julie, don't say a word. I'll have my lawyer file a lawsuit against them all." He guided Julie and Astrid inside the car while ignoring the many questions the media were spilling on his face. A few days later, the company was buzzing with whispers and hot takes about their CEO whose affair was plastered all over blogs and verified X pages.Another emergency board meeting had been immediately scheduled. This time, Jotham was not having it. He needs to find out who is fueling the media against him and handle them himself. The conference room was soon filled up. The investors were present, and so were the PR and the marketing team.Jotham just sat quietly. He wouldn’t have to fault the board on whatever decision they made; he has his own plans anyway. His supposed affair was the most talked about gossip that week. And the worst part of it all was that they were dragging Julie online for being a homewrecker. He could handle anything that was thrown at him, but he wouldn’t stand by and

Jotham looked at her like she’d grown two heads. He was confused as to what she was talking about and what the commotion in front of the hospital was.“Pictures are circulating on the net of you and Julie leaving your house together. They’re saying that Julie’s kids are yours and that you’re having an affair with her.” Mirabel explained better. I wish that were true, Jotham thought to himself. “It’s not news that I’m trying to win Julie back. As for her kids, we all know they’re not mine—these damn rumors are beginning to get on my nerves. Don’t they have anything better to do?”“Not exactly. To them, we’re engaged, remember? From the public's perspective, you’re cheating on me with my sister. You need to see what they’ve been saying in the media. It's worse.” Julie exhaled through her mouth, she just couldn’t catch a break. What the hell was she supposed to do now?She’d spent years hiding away from the media, living a lowkey life, and keeping her children from the public eye. It s

“You all think the worst of me anyway. I can't even drop my own sister off. I hope the child gets better." Mirabel said. Jotham was about to respond when his head suddenly began to spin and he almost lost balance. “Are you alright?” Julie was alarmed, supporting him with her hand. “Do you want to go back inside and rest?He blinked severally trying to focus on the images in front of him. “Please take her home, Mirabel. I don’t think it's safe for me to drive." "I’ll walk you to the car,” he said to Julie. “You do not have to walk me down. Just go and rest, okay?" Julie insisted she didn't know why she was this worried about him. He had been up all these hours just because of a daughter he didn't even know was his. A notification suddenly came in on Mirabel’s phone, after seeing the content, she said, “It’s fine, let him walk you to the car at least. I’ve parked my car not too far from here."Mirabel led the way, schooling her face into one of agony and betrayal. Years of watching

They all waited outside for the blood transfusion to be finished. Julie was a nervous mess unable to sit still while Mirabel scrolled away on her phone. It was almost midnight when they were finally done. Julie sprang up from where she was sitting the moment the doctor came out of the room. “Doctor, how did it go?”He took off his gloves. “It went really well. The donor and the patient are both fine. Your daughter will have to remain in the hospital, though; we need to check her vitals and then monitor her for some time to ensure there are no delayed reactions. Like a fever or allergic responses, you know how these things work.”“It’s alright, I’m just glad that she’s okay.”The doctor put a reassuring hand on her shoulder before leaving to attend to his other patients.Mirabel came up to her. “I’m very glad everything is fine. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if anything happened to your daughter.”Julie met her with a blank stare. She was tired of putting up with her

Mirabel watched it unfold right before her eyes. The nervousness when Trevor was entering the examination room. The grand finale was right around the corner and she was excited. She shot off a text to an unsaved contact. “Handled the bakery yet?”The response came in two seconds. “Yes.”Everything was going according to plan. The secret photographer had just sent her the shots he took of Julie leaving Jotham’s house dressed in his clothes.They were perfect, her face was showing. You couldn’t deny that it was photoshopped. Name a better mastermind than Mirabel. All tracks were covered. Mirabel intended to unleash a shocking revelation, cleverly manipulating the narrative to portray herself as the injured party. The people’s sympathy would get her a lot of monetary compensation. She stood up as soon as Trevor walked out of the examination office. “When are you ready to go in? It’s been two hours already.” Jotham was shooting off. “Aren’t they supposed to test you and all of that be

Julie could not believe her ears. She knew straight away that there was no way in hell Mirabel had magically found herself in the same place as Jotham. “Liar!” Julie called to her face. “You’re a goddamn liar! You poisoned my children! What did they ever do to you?” Mirabel’s face twisted in agony, like she had been accused of the most cruel thing. “I might not be the most loving person in the world but I would never ever hurt children. If I have a problem I’ll settle it with you. I can’t believe you’re accusing me of such a thing.”People were beginning to gather in the hallway to know what was going on. Everyone recognized Dr. Julie and wondered what the problem was.Jotham tried to handle the situation. “Look, let's get a donor first and then we can settle this later. You’re with your phone, right? Call Trevor, he’s our best bet since he’s the father of the kids.”Mirabel smiled a little on the inside. They couldn’t be so sure about that, which was why she’d taken the risk and we

Julie’s heart threatened to jump out of her chest as she raced into the house.“Why is Astrid on a stretcher? Why is there an ambulance? Somebody, please say something!” She was losing her mind. “She ate some of the cake Mirabel had brought for them in the morning. I didn’t know she had gone to the kitchen after I gave them breakfast.”Her entire body went cold. “Mirabel? She came to the house? What for? Why will she bring them cake? Was it poisoned?”She rushed to where they were putting Astrid in the ambulance. “Did she poison my child?” “Ma’am please calm down. You can come with us to the hospital.” One of the men told her while they secured Astrid’s stretcher in the ambulance.Jotham put an arm around. “Get in, I’ll speak with Trevor and join you shortly.” She nodded, the tears streaming down her cheeks as she watched Vesper who was a crying mess.“God please, let nothing happen to my baby, I beg of you.”Jotham waited until they were gone to ask Trevor what happened.“I’d spoke
