He Divorced Me. Now He Wants Me Back Chapter 50
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

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.

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

Julie tried to force the door to close but Marcus grabbed the door and forced it open. “Trevor! Call 911,” she screamed when it dawned on her that Marcus was determined to get into her house by all means necessary.If he was able to drug her before then he was definitely capable of doing more vile things to her.Trevor, who had been listening all this while, had already called Jotham because he knew the man would get there faster and would handle the situation faster. He then proceeded to call the emergency line. “Leave me the hell alone!” Julie kept struggling with him. Her kids were upstairs, there’s no way she was letting him in. She’ll stop him by all means. Except he had more body mass than her and overpowered her in a couple of seconds. Julie fell to the floor in her attempt to stop him from entering further into the house. Trevor immediately started walking towards the kitchen. “You can stand there and talk, you don’t have to come further in.”“So now you want to listen to

They went to the kitchen after they put the kids back to bed. Jotham poured her a glass of water. “You must’ve been so scared.” “Extremely Terrified. I thought he was going to kill us all. I didn't know he was such a psycho." She continued, "How did you even get to know?”“Trevor called me. It’s a good thing he had my contact, I came as fast as I could. What exactly happened?” He needed a rundown of how he’d been able to get inside the house. “I don’t know, he just showed up saying he wanted to speak to me. That it was Melinda that drugged me and not him.” She left out the part about the question about Trevor not being her husband. “And to give him a chance, that he wants to be with me.” Her voice cracked as she relived the moment in her head.Jotham rounded the kitchen island and put his arms around her. “He’s a psycho that should be thrown out of society. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’ll make sure he never gets to see the light of day again. And for Mirabel, she won’t st

The first thing Julie noticed when she woke up was the warmth she was engulfed in. Something was around her waist, and when she tried to move, it drew her closer.She pressed her cheeks into the soft pillow under her head. If only she could wake up like this every day, it would make life more bearable.Julie heard the door open before Murray’s voice broke through her sleepy vase. “Oh, wow.” He hadn’t expected the sight in front of him. Jotham raised his head to hush him before gently untangling himself from Julie. He grabbed his shirt and motioned for Murray to leave so they could talk in his study.“How is she in your bed?” was the first question Murray asked.Jotham sighed. “I should’ve listened to you when you asked me to make her move in with the kids. That dickhead Marcus went to her place last night, it was a good thing I got there on time.”“That is crazy. Please tell me he’s locked up.”“Took him into detention, we’ll go over to give our statements. Where are you here this e

A man like Jotham didn’t take cute as a compliment. Usually, he’d feel insulted to his face. But when Julie said it to him, it felt like a starved man who had been fed a crumb of bread.“So you find me cute, Julie?” he raised a brow at her.“I certainly did not mean that.” she brushed past him. “I’ll go check on the kids, they usually have breakfast early.”“No need, I already fed them. Ms. Mary is currently running their bath and your own breakfast is waiting for you at the dining table.” he was beaming, feeling proud of himself when Julie stared at him speechless. “You’re welcome.”“There’s no way you made breakfast by yourself. Who even let you in the kitchen?”Jotham was enjoying their little banter if it could even be called that. “It’s my kitchen, Julie; I can go in whenever I want.”“Good for you.” Julie’s eyes traveled down all on their own when the robe Jotham was wearing slipped a bit, exposing the hard planes of his chest. The room suddenly became hot and she couldn’t stan

Jotham had gotten a text from Julie asking him to please take care of the twins because she had an emergency client she had to take care of. Which seemed weird to him because Trevor had mentioned that she was taking a break till the project was concluded. Plus, Mary had said she was getting something from the grocery and would be back.He called her phone, but each time, it went to voicemail. He could feel it in his gut that something was wrong but he couldn't figure out what it was. “Was she acting off before she left the house? Did it look like something was wrong?” he asked Mary after another failed attempt to reach her. “She did seem a bit fidgety, but that was all.”Jotham nodded and dismissed her. He almost punched the wall when his phone rang, cause instead of Julie, it was Murray calling him. “What?” He did not bother to hide his annoyance.Murray was used to his moods. “I’m on my way to pick up the paternity results, I’ll meet you at the conference.”The call was to check

He Divorced Me. Now He Wants Me Back Chapter 71
Epilogue The gala was a dazzling success, the grand hall filled with elegant guests dressed in designer outfits and custom suits. Soft classical music floated through the air, mingling with the sounds of conversation and clinking champagne glasses. The fundraiser for their joint medical project with Grandpa had brought in more people than they anticipated. Every table was occupied, and the donation box was overflowing.Julie stood by the entrance with Jotham, a smile lighting up her face as she watched the guests mingle. It was surreal seeing months of hard work finally come to life.“We pulled it off,” Jotham said, his voice filled with pride.She nodded. “We did. It feels amazing, doesn’t it?”Before he could respond, Grandpa made his way toward them, looking as proud as ever. He straightened his bow tie as he approached.“This is a proud moment for all of us. You two did an excellent job. Better than I could have imagined.”Julie beamed. “We couldn’t have done it without you. You

Jotham arrived with the officers, his eyes frantically scanning the scene until they landed on Julie standing by the police car. Without a second thought, he sprinted toward her, his heart pounding in his chest. She saw him and broke into a run, colliding into his arms. He wrapped her up tightly, his breath uneven.“Julie,” he whispered hoarsely. “God, I thought I lost you.”She clung to him, burying her face in his shoulder. The terror of the past hours melted under the strength of his embrace. “I’m okay. I’m safe now.”Jotham pulled back, his hands trembling as they cupped her face. His eyes were dark with guilt and anguish. “I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you. I let Murray get too close. I should’ve seen the signs—”Julie shook her head firmly, cutting him off. “None of this is your fault. Murray made his own choices. Don’t carry this.”“But I let you down,” he insisted. “I was so caught up in clearing my name that I didn’t think about how vulnerable that made you. I should’ve protect

Immediately the officers left Julie set out to check if Jotham’s CCTV had captured Murray. Her hope was dashed when she realized it hadn’t.Of course, Murray was smarter than letting himself be captured when he was planting evidence.She had to go to Grandpa immediately; they couldn’t figure out what to do. She couldn’t go to the officers and tell them about Murray when she had no evidence to prove her words.She got into one of Jotham’s cars and made for his grandpa’s house. Julie gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes darting between the road and the rearview mirror when she felt like she was being followed. Murray’s black sedan had been trailing her for the past fifteen minutes. Her heart raced as she pressed the gas, hoping to lose him before reaching Grandpa’s estate. She couldn’t let him know where she was headed.“Stay calm,” she muttered to herself.Her car swerved onto a side street, tires screeching. She glanced back—Murray was still behind her, persistent and aggres

C68 Jotham gripped the steering wheel as he drove down the quiet, winding road toward home. The evening had been tense, and silence stretched between him and Julie. She sat beside him, arms crossed, her gaze fixed out the window.The twins were staying over with his grandpa because the old man had insisted that Julie needed time to process what had happened to her, especially now that they’d found Marcus’s body.Julie loved her twins to death but she needed time to think. She felt a bit guilty because she was no doubt the reason Murray had killed Marcus.The man was not okay in the head. But did he deserve to die? Julie didn’t think so. The sudden ring of Jotham’s phone broke the silence. Jotham glanced at the screen—it was the officer in charge of Marcus’s case. His stomach tightened. He hesitated but answered on speaker.“Jotham speaking.”The officer’s voice was firm, all business. “Where are you right now?”“Driving home. Why?”“You need to come down to the station immediately.

Jotham felt the bed dip before Julie’s body heat engulfed him as he lay on his bed. She’d taken another long shower but he spoke nothing of it. “Are you good?” He asked quietly, holding his breath for a moment when she didn’t give him an immediate answer. Julie sucked in a deep breath and allowed the lie to slip out from between her lips. “I’m fine.” Jotham wished she would tell him the truth so he could make it better.“Do you need to talk to a therapist? I know what you went through was traumatizing, Julie; it could alter you forever. It’s completely fine if you don’t want to talk to me, but we can get a professional.”Julie didn’t want to be a bitch but she also didn’t want to deal with what happened or that it was his best friend that was the genesis of her anxiety. “You don’t have to do anything for me. I’ll be fine.” Then she felt bad because she knew what happened wasn’t really his fault. “I promise, you don’t have to worry about me.” Truth was Jotham couldn’t stop worryin

The house was completely quiet when Julie woke up. She no longer felt like she was dying, and the fever was almost gone. There was a tray of biscuits and freshly pressed juice by her side which she quickly devoured as she was so famished. She didn't even dare to care what Murray could’ve put in the food.Now that she had a little strength, she took the time to study her room. It was on the last floor and the only view from the window was a wide span of water. They must be on an island which would make it harder for her to escape.She waited until the entire house was quiet and she couldn’t hear Murray move around before she opened her door. She was surprised to find it unlocked.She walked down the dark hallway quietly, looking around to make sure there was no other person in the house. The entire house turned out to be empty. The house was wide. Most of the rooms were was mostly void. There was a wall clock that wasn’t even working on the wall of the particular room she was standin

It wasn’t until two days had passed that Jotham was finally able to reach Murray. He’d been worried that something had happened to him after they went after Marcus. He didn’t know what he'd do if something happened to his best friend too. He was already dealing with insomnia and anxiety. There was no news on Julie yet and it had been driving him crazy. He was currently in the waiting area of the police station. Everyone moved about, blaring out instructions, but still, it felt like they were not doing enough to Jotham.It’s been days and there was still no lead on Julie’s kidnap. Mirabel, who was the only other person who could help, was still in a coma. Murray finally walked into the waiting area; tiredness etched permanently into his face, but for different reasons. Jotham detached himself from the wall. “What happened? I haven’t been able to reach you.”“I thought Marcus had sailed with one of the boats there so I followed. It was completely dark out so I couldn’t really see an

Every part of Julie’s body felt like it was set on fire. Her skin was sticky with sweat, and she struggled to breathe. All the stress of the past days was finally catching up to her.She couldn’t help the sob that escaped her lips as she struggled to sleep. She’d wanted to stand up and ask Murray if he had any meds, but the heaviness of her limbs kept her rooted to the bed. He had come by earlier to drop her lunch but she hadn’t seen him since then. But it didn’t mean that his presence was unfelt.Julie was well aware of her captor each time. She knew he was the danger she should be running from. She suddenly saw Murray appear again. The moment he saw her lying down there, he became alarmed. “What is wrong Julie?” he pressed the palm of his hand against her forehead and flinched away at the hotness of it. “You’re burning up.”She should’ve pushed him away and said she was a doctor and could handle herself. The truth was that she really couldn’t hold up, and even though she did not

Jotham had called the previous night to find out which hospital Mirabel had been taken to. If anyone knew where Marcus was taking Julie, it would be her. He could hear the beep of machines as he walked down the corridor. He almost felt bad for Mirabel when he entered her ward.She was hooked to machines whose loud beep was the only indicator that she was still alive. Essentially, she was in a coma, and the doctors didn’t know whether she was ever going to wake up.He stood there, looking at her and wondering if she would’ve gone down a different path if she knew this was how she would end up.The other part of him thought it was perfect for what she put Julie and the twins through. That was something he could never forgive. The door opened and Mirabel’s mother walked in. “You have a lot of nerve to come here.” her voice was a mixture of anger and disdain. “You ruined my family.”Jotham’s face was bored. “I didn’t ruin your family, Ms. Margaret; you did all that by yourself.” He turn
