JULIA

“I’m going to a family day,” I said. “Not the Met Gala.”

“You’re exaggerating. 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. When he was dres

  • His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret   Chapter 83: Rejected

    JULIA Nearly everyone's attention was captured. I couldn't blame them. Evan looked straight out of a magazine despite being in his casual clothes. In fact, it made him even more handsome. I watched as other moms eyed him like a piece of candy, while dads glared at him in both envy and curiosity. Evan smiled at them, making some whisper with each other. I shook my head as I looked at him. So, he really did come. Although he was already smiling at the others, once his gaze was on me, his smile changed to a more genuine one. However, as it landed on Simon's parents, his expression hardened. "Andy's father?" Simon's dad asked. "I've never seen you around." Evan glanced at me before clearing his throat. "I haven't been present for a long time, but I'm here now." Meanwhile, Simon's mom raised one eyebrow, her gaze going back and forth between me and Evan. "Are you sure you're the father?" she asked. "The other parents know that Julia is a single mother. Did she claim for you to be A

    JULIA Evan and I turned to each other with wide eyes. The two of us weren't expecting that answer. A small chuckle left my lips. I was sure Andy was joking. However, as I glanced at him, there wasn't an ounce of a smile in his expression. With that, I kneeled down to his level, wondering if I heard it wrong. "What was that, bub?" I asked to clarify his meaning. He avoided my gaze and instead focused it on his fingers. "I don't want a dad anymore," he said. "I only need you." With that, he wrapped his arms around me. I turned to look at Evan and saw his heartbroken expression. I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say. For a long time, Andy had wanted to meet him. However, right now, he was pushing him away like the plague! Was this why he wasn't asking for Evan these days? I gave Evan a look, and he cleared his throat and tried to get close to Andy. However, Andy merely moved away, not even sparing him a glance. "I'll keep playing with my friends now, Mommy!" he quickly said a

    JULIA What the heck was Heath doing here? Before I could even ask him a question, Ellie had come by and given us the strings. “Tie your legs together with these,” she said with a small smile. Then, she gave me a subtle wink, making me click my tongue. Evan, Carson, and Heath looked at the ties in my hands before simultaneously speaking. “I’ll stand next to Julia,” Evan said, already planting his spot to my right. At the same time, Carson stood in front of me. “Can I stand next to you?” “Nope, I’ll stand here,” Heath stubbornly said. “You go to the far end.” Carson pursed his lips. “You’re taller, and you have a similar height to this guy,” he said, pointing at Evan. “It’s better if the two of you are on the sides.” “Then, ask him,” Heath shrugged. Evan, however, didn’t even glance at Carson. I sighed and looked around. The other parents had already secured their ties and were ready to go, but my little group was still arguing.“Let’s just keep this kind of position,” I mutt

    EVANDER Ellie was definitely the mastermind of this. She was giggling at the side while some of the other parents watched giddily. “Come on, Julia,” Ellie said, chiming in. “Choose one." Julia stared at the three plushies. They were different kinds. Carson was holding out an octopus one. Heath had a car plushie, while I had a rose. I couldn’t lie. I was really nervous. I felt like she was choosing something more than plushies. Meanwhile, Julia pursed her lips and pointed at Carson’s daughter. “I think she’ll like it more than I would,” she said. Carson cleared his throat and turned to his daughter. It was true that she appeared to want it, so Carson smiled and went away. And then, there were two. Andy was looking at Heath’s plushie, and I felt a pang in my chest. “Do you want this, bub?” Julia softly asked. He slowly nodded. “But it’s okay,” he muttered. “It’s not mine.” Heath cleared his throat and kneeled down to his level. “Of course, you can have it, little one,” he said

    JULIAEllie took the microphone and smiled at all the attendants. “Thank you so much for participating in this year’s family day! May all of your families prosper and make it here next year,” she jokingly added, making me chuckle. With that, the parents went off with their children, making the school more quiet. The sound of children’s laughter and adults’ gossip was replaced by the soft rustling of the leaves. Andy was already asleep in my arms. His face was peaceful, his lashes brushing against his cheeks, and I couldn’t help but smile. He’d had such a good time today. Suddenly, Heath’s phone buzzed, breaking the silence. He glanced at the screen and clicked his tongue.“Unfortunately, I have to head back to the office,” he said. “People can’t seem to operate without their best employee around.” I scoffed. “Whatever, just go.” With that, Heath winked at me and went on his way. I still had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him, but it seemed he wasn’t ready to answer them.As s

    JULIA “What… do you mean?” I asked after a while. Evan bit his lip and gestured to the couch. “Let’s sit?” I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts, before nodding. We went to the couch, none of us speaking for a couple of seconds before Evan finally broke the silence. “It’s the truth,” he said, leaning against the backrest. “I built this house with you in mind.” “I still don’t understand,” I muttered, looking down at my lap. “That night, when we were 17, I genuinely thought of building a home with you. There was no question. I wanted to do it,” he started off. I listened intently, not wanting to miss out on a single word. “So, the moment I started working for my dad, I saved up. At 18, I was able to buy this piece of land with the investments I’ve made,” he continued. “However, of course, I wanted to do it on my own without anybody’s help, so I didn’t want to tell you. I wanted to surprise you when it was finished. By 19, the foundation has been laid dow

    JULIA The tears came without warning, streaming down my cheeks. The sound of our sobs filled the space as we held each other’s bodies. He pulled away for a moment, brushing away my tears, but it was no use. They just kept coming. He continued crying, too, his shoulders shaking as he pulled me into his arms. “I’m sorry,” he whispered once more, his voice breaking. "I’m so sorry, Julia. I’m sorry for everything."I buried my face in his chest, my hands clutching at his shirt as sobs wracked my body. It was like a dam had burst, releasing years of anger. All the words I’d held back and emotions I’d buried came rushing to the surface.“You left me,” I choked out, my voice muffled against his chest. “You left us.”“I know,” he said, his voice filled with regret. “I know, and I’ll never forgive myself for that. I was stupid, Julia. I was scared, and I didn’t know how to be what you needed. But I’ve regretted it every single day since. It’s my biggest regret, and I’ll spend the rest of m

    JULIA Evan and I looked at Andy with wide eyes. I cleared my throat and carried him in my arms. I sat back down on the couch and placed him on top of my lap. “What do you mean by that, bub? You want me together with Heath?” “Yes, Mr. Heath!” he exclaimed, holding his plushie tighter. “He said he has a lot of cars.” Evan cleared his throat and scooted closer to us, his eyes wide like a little kid. “I have plenty of cars, too, Andy,” he said, wanting to be acknowledged. However, Andy brushed him off. “He also has the same color of hair as my favorite color—yellow!” Evan pursed his lips. “Do you want me to dye my hair? I’ve been thinking of going blonde these days.”I chuckled. However, my smile quickly fell when the sight of a blonde Evan came to mind. It was definitely… dangerous. The light hair would compliment his features well. “And he laughs with me a lot,” Andy muttered. Just then, Evan let out a big laugh, earning stares from both Andy and me. “What are you doing?” I a

    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

  • His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret   Special Chapter 2: Amsterdam

    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
