He Divorced Me. Now He Wants Me Back Chapter 30
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 tipped off the paparazzi without thinking through the consequences for Jotham, who valued his private moments.She thanked Julie for her efforts in making sure her fiance was well taken care of. Then, she proceeded to ask Jotham for the engagement ring now that he had confirmed their relationship status.Jotham had begrudgingly brought it out and given it to her after she explained that it would be a hassle having to explain to the public why she wasn’t wearing her ring after the trip.Many speculations about them were already circulating in online spaces about how he had sustained the injury at the resort.It would be unheard of for her not to be with him in the hospital; people would say that she was only an attention-seeking whore that didn’t care about the man she was about to marry.“The people would probably be right,” Jotham muttered, already fed up with Mirable's antics.At least she had the decency to have his personal assistant bring him a change of clothes so he

Mirable and Jotham waited in the car park across the street from Julie’s house. Through the window, Mirabel caught a glimpse of movement, confirming Julie was indeed at home.“Can’t I enter with you?” Marcus asked, he wanted to know what the inside of Julie's house looked like. He had no doubt it was clean and pristine, just like her. “It would be dumb for the two of us to just show up at her house. They’re not supposed to be aware that we know each other. I can’t believe I have to remind you at all times.”“Okay okay, I get it. You don’t want me to go with you, do you? At least take the flowers I bought her with you. It sucks to not be able to give it to her myself.”“You’ll be able to give her all the flowers you want once our mission is successful. So keep your head in the game.” He nodded and watched with downcast eyes as she took the flowers from where they sat in the passenger seat and exited the car.She rang the doorbell two times before she heard footsteps approaching.

Once Mirabel was gone, Julie immediately asked Trevor, “Did you think she suspects anything?” “I’d be more surprised if she didn’t.” Trevor moved to sit down beside her. “She probably thinks we’re not really together but that’s about it. I don’t think she’ll figure out who the twins belong to.”Julie cast a worried glance up. “I hope she doesn’t realize who the father of the twins is. I can't afford to let Jotham take my babies." Because Julie knew that if Jotham ever found out they were his, he'd take them from her.“You’re never going to tell them who their father is, are you?" He asked. It was a tough choice to make considering the fact that she had severally dreamy of a perfect nuclear family. Her, Jotham and the two kids, living a happy ever after. Having dinner together and going on vacations. But that might be impossible now. “It’s for the best.” That was what she tried to tell herself, that was all she had to believe. The thought of ever being together with Jotham again jus

The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice, the soft jazz music in the background loosened the tension in her shoulders. Or maybe it was the wine. “I can’t believe I never made the time to come here. It’s quite lovely.”Seeing the relaxed smile on her face brought out his own. “I’m glad you like it. I didn’t know your preference so I took a chance and brought you here.”“I’m very glad you did. Thank you, Mr. Marcus.”“Just Marcus is fine with me, really. What would you like for dessert?”“A cheesecake and wine will be fine. Can we have it on the balcony? The view is magnificent, it would be a crime not to enjoy it for the night.” What Julie did not know was that Marcus would move the ends of the earth if she asked him to.“Of course. Do you want anything, doctor?”Julie shook her head. She was quite satisfied, she couldn’t have asked for a better night. “Let me use the restroom,” she told him before going to relieve herself. She was wearing the makeup since they’d gone straight from

There were only two things Jotham could do to protect Julie and the kids.One, turn Mirabel into the police and have her locked up for attempted murder. Two. Get them to stay with him while he finds a better way to deal with Mirabel and Marcus. Because locking Mirabel up first would make it harder to get her accomplice. Jotham had the recording of Mirabel’s confession on his phone, but he couldn’t use it yet until he found a way to link it to Marcus and bring him down, too. He should’ve dealt with him immediately after the drug incident. He took the bottle of liquor and poured himself a generous amount. All he could think of since the dinner he had with Mirabel was how the situation could’ve turned ugly. Cause what if the kid hadn't recovered?“The doctor said the results would be ready before the weekend. Want me to help you collect them?” Murray approached and asked. Jotham, deep in his thoughts answered. “Sure. You can bring it straight to the conference hall. And do you think

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.

"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
