JULIA

I turned to him with wide eyes, unable to hide my expression. My cheeks reddened, and I quickly looked away.

Mr. Miyagi observed my body language and smirked.

“It seems that my assumption is right. You are the artist of this piece. Did you leave it here deliberately for me to see?” he asked.

I quickly shook my head. “I didn’t even think you would be staying in this room. I just left it here so I can freely look around. In fact, this is my second attempt at a school project. My professor is here, and I needed to pass it to him tonight.”

“I see,” he muttered, his gaze focused on the artwork once more, making me bite my lip.

I was getting ready for criticism, so his next words felt surreal.

“Do you know when my last piece was released?” he asked.

“Two years ago,” I answered, knowing his piece, the ‘32 hz’, was his latest.

“Do you know why that is?”

I paused for a moment before shaking my head.

“I won’t hold it against you,” he smiled. “Nobody knows except for me.”

    JULIA "Come with me. I'll take you home," Evan said, still holding onto my wrist. It was tight enough to keep me rooted but still gentle enough so it wouldn't hurt. "I think it's much better if I take her home," the other guy, whose name I still didn't know, said. Evan raised both eyebrows. "Does she even know your name?" he asked. The blonde guy turned to me and smiled. "How's it going? My name's Heath, by the way." "There," he said, turning to Evan with a small smirk. "Now, she knows my name." "You don't know where she lives," Evan deadpanned. "Oh, I know," Heath said, referencing the time I mistook him for a taxi cab. "Why don't you go back in there and see how you could salvage the party? It seems like your objective of collaborating with Mr. Miyagi is now out of the window." Evan was about to retort something, but just then, Sarah honked her car. I pursed my lips and forcefully removed my wrists from both of their holds. "Thanks," I muttered, though it didn't sound sinc

    JULIA "Mommy, mommy..." I felt myself getting shaken awake, so I opened my eyes, only to see Andy standing next to me. I looked around and found myself in the living room, sitting on the floor while leaning my head against the couch. Andy looked at me with wide eyes. "Did you sleep here, mommy?" I smiled and nodded, reaching for a hug. He did so without any complaints. Last night, I thought hard about what Sarah had told me. I stayed in the living room to think about it for a while, but I must have ended up passing out here. I broke from his hug, only to see him with teary eyes. My eyes widened slightly, and he tried to wipe them as quickly as possible. However, I held onto his arms and looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. "What happened?" I asked. "Are you hurt?" He shook his head. "Mommy is hurting, though."My heart felt like it stopped. I pursed my lips and shook my head. "Why would you say that? Why would I get hurt when you're here?" "But you're tired, mommy," he said

    JULIA "What happened?" Sarah asked as soon as I went back to the car with Andy in my arms. I sighed and rested my head in my hands for a moment. I felt so tired, but I knew I couldn't stop now. "I don't think we should be coming back here anytime soon," I muttered. Sarah's eyebrows furrowed, but she didn't say anything further. "So, where to now? Evan's house? You know the address, right?" I sighed. "Head back to our house," I said. "What?" she exclaimed. "We've already talked about doing this together." "I know," I muttered. "But Andy can't be with us. Just go back, Sarah. I'll take a cab. If it makes you feel better, I'll contact you to fetch me later." Sarah pursed her lips and nodded. With that, she silently drove back to our house. As she halted the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure about this?" "Hmm," I hummed, no hesitation left in my heart. "Alright," she said in resignation. "Oh, and don't think about who will take care of Andy during his school days. M

    JULIA I let them stare at me for a couple more moments. I made sure to look my best when I went here. I couldn’t let them see I was tired! Garyn continued looking at me with wide eyes while Heather’s mouth couldn’t be closed. My heart filled with satisfaction from their shocked expressions. The first one to snap out of his daze was Evan, and he immediately went to where I was. “Julia,” he muttered. "You should have told me you were coming." I ignored him and kept my gaze on Garyn.“Who let you in?” Garyn exclaimed, finally standing and pointing an accusing finger toward my way. “That’s not important,” I said. “What’s important is that you need me now.” His face became red from frustration. He wanted to retaliate, but he knew I was telling the truth. “I know you want this deal, Garyn,” I said with no ounce of respect in my tone.“Astor Apparel is near bankruptcy,” I smirked, knowing I did my research. His eyebrows raised.It was the truth. I looked at the stocks with Sarah last

    JULIA I knew I told Sarah I would have her fetch me. However, I still entered Evan’s car, looking out of the window as he drove me home. There were a lot of questions in my mind, and after a few more seconds of hesitating, I finally had the courage to ask him. “Why did you defend me?” I asked. Evan bit his lip, his gaze focused on the front. “Because you were right,” he muttered. I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Wrong question. I meant—why aren’t you following through with whatever your dad is telling you now? Oh, and Heather, too. You left her looking pretty devastated. Not a very good boyfriend move, don’t you think?” Evan let out a deep breath. I turned to him, but I could tell he couldn’t look at me just yet. “I’ve known for a long time that my dad wasn’t good enough,” he started off. “From a young age, I saw how my grandfather scolded him for not being great. He was the only son—the one to inherit the entire business. My grandfather was very efficient, very patriarchal too, s

    JULIA “What?” I exclaimed in such a loud voice that Evan was momentarily stunned. Evan chuckled and shook his head. “What’s gotten you so shocked?” “Did she break up with you?” I asked. “Why? When? How? Where?” Evan sighed. “Take it easy on the questions, Julia. To answer the first, I was the one who broke up with her.” My mouth went agape as he continued answering my other questions. “The reason is pretty obvious, don’t you think?” Evan asked. “I don’t think we suit each other well anymore. I owe her a lot for the times she was with me when I was alone. However, I can’t excuse how she accused you of something you didn’t do.” “Aside from that, our interests don’t match anymore. Andy is my focus now, and she can’t accept that I need to interact with you in the process.” With every statement, it felt like I was being slapped left and right. “When? It was last night, I guess. After the party with Mr. Miyagi.”“For the method, I just told her how I felt.” “Didn’t she put up a fi

    EVANDER I stared at the invitation in my hand and a small smile arose from my lips. I knew Julia and I’s relationship was far from being mended, but this was a start. I heard her loud and clear in the car, and I felt like I was slapped awake. I wanted to go back home, but needed to go back to the office to prepare the contract for Julia and Mr. Miyagi. Rui had informed the renowned artist, and he full-heartedly wanted this collaboration after finding out Julia was going to be included. However, yet again, as I entered the office, Heather was there. I pursed my lips as soon as I saw her. I placed the invitation inside my pocket as she scrutinized me with her sharp eyes. “What are you doing here again?” I asked. I had told the guards not to let her inside of my office. However, it seemed like they still honored my father's wishes. I was sure this was his request. Heather was silent for a moment before she finally spoke. Her voice, once so sweet, was now filled with fury. “Are yo

You look just fine!” Sarah exclaimed. “Make sure to get the hot, single daddies over there.” “I’m not going to do that,” I muttered. “But you said you already rejected Evander,” she said. “I did,” Julia said, making Sarah narrow her eyes. “I see. There’s still a chance.” I rolled my eyes. “You’re putting words in my mouth.” “Much better than Evander’s dick, right?” “You have such a vulgar mouth,” I exclaimed, looking around to see if Andy was there. Fortunately, he wasn’t. “Whatever,” Sarah said. “You don’t like my co-worker. You also don’t like the single daddies in your school. You haven’t said yes to Evander.” “I don’t need a man to make me feel complete,” I said with a small smile. Then, my smile widened when I saw Andy go out of his room. “I only need my baby,” I chimed, gesturing for him to come closer. He was wearing a white polo, with his hair neatly combed back.

    JULIA The day of my first art exhibition had finally come. After the successful launch of our clothing line with Mr. Miyagi, my name had begun circulating in the art world. A year had passed since then, and while I had worked on many projects, this was the first time I was putting my heart and soul on full display.I was a nervous wreck. It was the opening day, and although a lot of people had promised to show up, I felt like it would be an empty exhibition. I stood outside our house and waited for Sarah to pick me up. Evan said he had something to do at his office but would meet me at the exhibition before it opened to the public. After a few moments, Sarah arrived in her brand-new car. She whistled dramatically as she stepped out, running a hand over the hood. "Can you believe it?" she asked, shaking her head in amusement. "Just a year ago, my poor car was on its last breath. Now, look at this beauty. Rui really outdid himself."I chuckled, recalling how stubborn she had been a

She wanted to take the next step in our relationship. She wasn’t pushy about it, but I could feel it in the way she’d look at me sometimes. I wasn’t dumb. I knew shewanted to have sex. However, the problem was that I had absolutely no experience. So, naturally, I did what any sensible, inexperienced man in his late twenties would do. I overcompensated.I booked an expensive hotel. Well, I didn’t have to pay for anything because Evander gave it to me for free. It was even the penthouse suite. Such an expensive room was given to us for two whole days. I planned every detail. Dinner, room service, the perfect playlist, and condoms that were my size. I didn’t know what size I was, but Evander had given me large ones, saying I was blessed but not as blessed as he was. Sarah was ecstatic when she arrived.“Oh m

    HEATHAmsterdam was different from the other places I had been to in the past year. It had a calmer feel that made me feel more grounded. It wasn’t another pit stop to my journey. Instead, it was going to be my new home. I had spent the last twelve months hopping from country to country, working as a marketing researcher while soaking in the culture and the sights of every place I landed in. I had walked through the bustling streets of Tokyo, tasted the spices of Marrakech, and felt the cool sea breeze in Santorini. But there was something about Amsterdam that pulled me in and made me want to stay. Maybe it was the relaxed pace of life or the charming canals. Or maybe it was just because this place offered me the most relaxed job. It was definitely that. In the end, I decided to stay here, knowing I couldn't travel so frequently all my life. Of course, I still thought about Julia from time to time, but not in the way I used to. There was no longing or regret—just the hope that she

    RUI“Why did you have to call me?” I asked, gripping the steering wheel as I pulled into the parking lot of the car dealership.Sarah had a habit of calling me for the most trivial things now. Help with decorating her apartment. Help to pick a new phone case. Once, she even called me because she couldn't decide whether to get bananas in her fruit smoothie. It was never anything urgent or anything she truly needed me for. Yet, every single time, I went.I always went.She smirked at me from the passenger seat. “My car is dying, Rui. It makes a noise like a dying cat whenever I start the engine. I need a new one. Besides, I want to arrive at the launch of Ampersand’s new clothing line with Mr. Miyagi in style.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “You could’ve called someone else.”“But I wanted to call you.”Sarah said things like that so easily. She flirted like it was breathing. She was the complete opposite of me, someone who had no experience with women, and yet, she became

I could feel her fingers tracing it lightly, and I groaned softly. "You're insatiable," she murmured, her eyes locked on my cock. “Didn’t you just come?” She took me in her hand, her fingers wrapping around my shaft as she stroked me slowly. I groaned, my hips bucking into her touch."I want to taste you," she said. She dropped to her knees, her tongue licking the tip of my cock. I cursed, my hands fisting in her hair as she took me deeper into her mouth. She sucked and licked, her head bobbing up and down as she took me all the way to the back of her throat."Fuck, Julia," I groaned, my hips thrusting into her mouth. She hummed in response which sent vibrations through my body.After a few minutes, she pulled back, her lips glistening with my precum. “I want to try something different. Is that okay?” she shyly

The sun was beginning to set, casting orange and pink lights along the horizon, making everything look dreamier. I leaned my head against the window, watching the scenery blur past.Evan’s hand rested on my thigh, caressing my skin every now and then. “Where are we going?” I asked, tilting my head toward him.“You’ll see,” he said, smirking slightly. “Patience, baby.”I huffed, crossing my arms. However, the smile on my lips stayed. After about half an hour, we turned onto a smaller road lined with palm trees, leading to a secluded area near the ocean. The moment I saw it, my eyes widened. The beach stretched endlessly before us. There wasn’t a single soul in sight.A villa stood just a little beyond the sand, its large windows reflecting the colors of the sky.“Evan…” I turned to him, my brows raised. “Just how rich are you?”He

    JULIAThe moment I stepped outside into the garden, I felt a lump form in my throat. The soft rustling of leaves and the distant conversations faded into the background as I stood there, facing the two people who had given me life but had also, at one point, chosen to turn their backs on me when I needed them most.It had been so long since I last saw them. In fact, I felt like I still couldn’t meet their gazes eye to eye. Since that day—the day they tried to convince me to give Andy up to Garyn Astor—I had kept my distance. The pain of that moment still felt fresh, but now, standing here, I knew this conversation was inevitable.Evan must have sensed my unease because he leaned in. “We’ll be waiting in the car.”I turned to see him and the others all nodding in silent support before they left. I was grateful for them. Even in moments like this, when I was about to face my past head-on, I was never alone.Now, it was just the three of us.My mother clutched a small bouquet of flowe

    JULIA The nerves settled in the pit of my stomach as I adjusted my graduation gown in front of the mirror. My hands trembled slightly as I fixed the collar, smoothing out any creases. After years of struggling... balancing motherhood, heartbreak, and redemption, I was finally here.A soft knock at the bedroom door made me turn. Before I could say anything, the door swung open, and standing there was Evan and Andy. Andy was wearing a tiny version of my graduation gown, the fabric draping over his small frame in the most adorable way. He even had a little cap on, tilted slightly to the side.My hands flew to my mouth. "Oh my goodness."Evan, standing tall beside our son, crossed his arms over his chest, satisfied. "You like it?""I love it," I said, blinking fast, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall."Don't," Evan warned, stepping closer and tilting my chin up with a finger. "You’ll smudge your makeup. You worked so hard on it."A laugh bubbled out of me as I

    JULIA Moving day had arrived, and with it came the warmth of a new beginning. I stood in the driveway of Evan’s house—no, our house—watching as the last of the boxes were loaded inside. Sarah stood next to me, wearing a new, expensive blazer that showed her new position. Today was her first day officially taking over Heath’s former role in their company, and she looked every bit the confident professional she had worked so hard to become.“Are you sure about this?” I asked her, hesitating for a moment. “Is it really okay for me to live here?”Sarah chuckled, shaking her head as she handed me some of my belongings that she had packed. “You’re asking me that now? After everything?” Then, she winked. “Of course, it’s okay. More than okay. I can finally have sex in peace.” I rolled my eyes and pushed her away. Even now, she still has such a vulgar mouth. I exhaled, glancing toward the house as Andy came bounding outside, his little feet pattering against the pavement. Evan followed b
