Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 18
Julia’s POVMy heart lurched at the sheer panic in Isabella’s voice. Before I could say anything, the call cut off abruptly. I stared at my phone, my pulse racing. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. With shaking hands, I redialed the number, but the call didn’t go through. I tried again and again and again but the same result.“The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off.”The automated message sent a shiver down my spine in fear. Why was her phone suddenly off? What had just happened to her? Did they hurt her? Is she fine? A lot of questions ran through my mind that I could not get the answers to.I was reluctant to let Isabella get into danger because of me, so I made my way out and quickly rushed to the bar. I knew where they were. The Midnight Club, Alex went there every time he drank.Worried if they had done anything to her already. I arrived there as soon as I could and the moment I stepped inside, the overpowering stench of alcohol hit me and it was nauseat

Julia’s POVThe moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in a room. A dull throbbing pounded at the back of my head as I blinked to steady my view. My body felt sluggish and uncooperative the moment I tried to move my head. Immediately, I remember what happened. How I went to defend Isabella and ended up being forced to drink for Alex and on my way out, I had slumped while going to get Bella’s coat. I tried to sit up, but a heavy dizziness crashed over me, making the room spin and immediately, I held onto my head. Nothing was making sense to me. Where was I and how did I get here? I forced myself upright, heart hammering as I scanned the room. It looked like a luxury hotel room. Both the windows and doors were locked. I looked around but couldn’t find my phone.Suddenly, the door creaked open.Someone stepped inside. I was shocked to see it was Jude. His presence made my skin crawl in anger. His eyes raked over me, a slow smirk pulling at his lips.“You’re awake,” he mused, shutting

Julia’s POVMy kick missed the mark. Instead of landing where I aimed, which was his groin, it struck his thigh. Jude’s face twisted in rage, his already bloodshot eyes darkening with fury.“How dare you?,” he snarled, his voice filled with violent intent.I barely had time to dodge as he lunged at me and dragged me by my hair before landing me a slap. “You shouldn’t try that next time.” He slapped me again.Then he pinned me to the wall and held both of my hands behind my back. “I am not Alex. Don’t mess with me.” He yanked me out of the wall as he made me look him in the eyes. My body screamed in protest, bruised and aching. I staggered back, gasping for air. My mind reeled, flashing back to my previous experience at the prison before I died. That cold prison, I wouldn't want to experience such again. No. Never again. Not when I could use my boxing experience to defend myself. That kick, although a bit clumsy, made me believe in myself once again, convinced that I could still us

Julia’s POVI slowly lifted my face upward, my breath coming in ragged gasps, and to my surprise, I saw Lucas. His expression stunned as he looked down on me. Seeing Lucas, that was a relief, knowing I had ran into my saviour.I stuttered, my words came as a frantic mess as I tried to explain. “They’re… they’re coming after me!” My voice cracked, my body shaking from fear and exhaustion.Lucas’s brows furrowed. He barely had time to process my words before the two bodyguards in dark suits stepped forward, their expressions were cold.“Hand the girl over,” one of them demanded.Panic surged through me, and I did the only thing I could think of, I moved closer to him as I pressed myself against his chest, my fingers clutching to his clothes.Lucas took a step backward, and for a split second, my heart clenched. He didn’t want to help me. He was going to leave me to them. But then, without a word, he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders. The jacket swallowed me, shie

Alex’s POVAustra Grand Hotel? What’s happening there?After receiving a call from Lucas, I felt extremely puzzled as I wondered why he needed to see me. His voice had been sharp, furious, demanding that I show up at the hotel immediately. I grabbed my phone and dialled my secretary’s number, who's also my assistant. “Cornel, I need some information about the Austra Grand Hotel.” “Alright sir.” “Yes. Find out if something happened at that hotel recently.”Minutes later, he returned with a grim expression. “Sir, Julia Carter was there tonight.”A cold chill ran down my spine. Julia? At that hotel doing what and with who? My entire body tensed.The words slammed into me like a fist. A sharp, ugly jealousy twisted in my gut. Lucas had called and I was certain she was with Lucas. My jaw clenched as images I didn’t want to see flashed in my mind, her in his arms, his hands on her and maybe they even kissed.“Prepare the car,” I ordered, my voice cold. I needed to see for myself.And if

Julia’s POVAfter the incident at the hotel, I threw myself completely into the company’s affairs, shutting out everything and everyone that didn’t concern Julison Technology Enterprise. It wasn’t just a distraction; it was a necessity. Every ounce of my focus was needed to put things back in order.The company had suffered losses, and after reviewing reports, I found contracts mishandled, deals sabotaged, and suspicious renegotiations, all leading back to Alex. I stared at the official statement from Lynwood Company International Limited, rereading the words that confirmed their $900 million investment into Julison Technology Enterprise. It was not just a staggering amount but one that had the power to not only stabilize the company but propel it forward. More than the money I expected.With this investment, I had the resources to undo the damage, reclaim lost partnerships, and take Julison to heights even my father hadn’t imagined.I wasted no time. The first step was securing key

Julia’s POVMr. Sterling is ill and he wants to see me? What now? I didn’t want to go. After everything that had happened, stepping into that house again felt like reopening a wound that had barely begun to scab over. But when I thought about the possibility that Mr. Sterling’s health had been affected by this entire marriage withdrawing debacle, I felt guilty. I had truly pushed things so far that it had taken a toll on an old man’s health and didn’t know if I would really live with myself knowing that I had refused his request to see me.When I arrived at the Sterling estate, I was greeted at the entrance by a servant who led me inside. The moment I stepped inside, his frail appearance struck me like a blow. The moment I saw him, his face was pallid, his eyes sunken. Seeing him like this, I felt a deep sense of self-reproach rise within me. He didn’t look so lively like he used to be. He had grown thin now. “Child, you’ve come,” he said warmly, a weak smile spreading across his l

Julia’s POVI could feel the tension around Celeste was unbearable.“Huh?” Celeste blinked at me, feigning innocence, but her grip on the bowl tightened. “What did you say?”I smiled harmlessly. “Have a taste of it.”Her face switched. “No, it’s for you! I made it for you with good intentions. You have to believe me! It’s…”“It is specially made for me? Yeah I’ll surely take it but I want you to join me. You need it too.”She hesitated. “Yeah, I made it with so much love. It’s meant to rekindle things between us, and it will help you recover too. Just drink it and you will be fine.I refused, my voice firm. “If it’s harmless, then you should have no problem taking a sip. I took a few steps forward, now standing in front of her. “Congee is for women, you said. You aren’t a man, are you?” I questioned, playfully. “No, Julia. I’ll have a sip, that’s not a problem. I have enough in the kitchen and I’ll have it later.” She took a step forward, stretching out the bowl to hand it over to me

Julia’s POVI could see the surprise in Mr. Samuel’s gaze as it shifted between I and then to Lucas who had just walked in with a smile as he embraced Mr. Samuel into a hug. “I was really shocked when you received an investment from Lynwood. But I never could have imagined that you knew Lucas. Come on, tell me quickly, how did you two get to know each other?”I barely had a second to react before Lucas opened his mouth, the hint of a smirk tugging at his lips.“Oh, yeah we met at a club…”“At the summit,” I cut in swiftly as I shot Lucas a glance who understood I didn’t want him to tell Mr. Samuel exactly how he met me.Lucas nodded firmly. Yes, she’s right.” But I caught sight of a subtle curve on his mouth.“At the submit, huh?” He questioned, staring at Lucas and I nodded.Mr. Samuel smiled and then nodded, “that’s good.” He placed an arm on Lucas’s shoulders as he spoke again. “Good to have you here, my child.” “Thank you.” Lucas and Mr. Samuel walked towards the couch and he o

Julia’s POVI took out the box, a black little box in a square shape. and held it out to Mr. Samuel as I took a few steps forward. “I don’t want your gift,” he said gruffly, waving a dismissive hand. His voice held the same coldness he had kept between us for a while now.“Please,” I pleaded, gripping the box tightly.The silence stretched for what felt like some seconds and finally, he stepped closer, standing right in front of me.He went ahead to take the box and then he opened the box. The moment his gaze landed on the object inside, it was a watch, his mood changed into something sad. The watch had a polished gold case with a deep blue surface face, written in Roman numerals, and gold hands. Its leather strap was smooth, still looking like a new watch. His eyes turned sober. I could see the recognition in his eyes and sadness in his eyes. He touched it, caressing the surface as if trying to remember his past moments. “This…” His voice was barely above a whisper. His fingers tr

Julia’s POVI looked up to see who it was. “Lucas.” I called out, giving a welcoming face.“Julia.” He called out and with a smile, he continued. “It’s nice to see you again even though you almost knocked me off a few minutes ago.” He teased. “Oh, I’m so sorry. I was only trying to put in my phone inside my purse and I didn’t notice you coming. I’m really sorry.” I apologized with a smile. “Nice to meet you too.” I added. But then, his mood changed and was replaced with concern as his brows furrowed in a rare display of worry. His eyes scanned me before breaking the silence.“How are you feeling now? I see you’ve come for some checkup.” He said and I smiled. Lucas thought I had come to the hospital for some check up. “How is your wound? Are they getting better? Did you see the doctor already? Are there any new complications?” His questions came after one another as if he was really worried about me and I wondered as to why he was being too concerned. It was as if resisting the urg

Julia’s POVI stepped forward, standing a few feet away as I crossed my hands on my chest. “I’ll reach out to the doctor about it.” I added, still staring at her.Celeste looked at me in horror only I could see, her eyes betrayed her. She was nervous. She realized that she couldn’t let Alex know she had been so vicious as to drug me because she always played the naive and innocent girl in front of Alex. So, she could only settle for something harmless, something that wouldn’t stain her hands in his eyes.“I… I guess I didn’t prepare the congee well,” she finally broke the silence. “Maybe I messed up the ingredients. I…. I just wanted to make something for Julia, to help her feel better.”Her fingers clutched the edge of the hospital sleeve, twisting the fabric as she lowered her head in sadness as if feeling guilty. I wasn’t so shocked seeing tears already rolling down her eyes. “I didn’t mean for this to happen. I was only trying to be nice to her,” she sobbed. “I thought if she h

Julia’s POV“What have you done?” Alex’s voice cut through so loud and aggressively as he approached me, his cold gaze locked into mine.“You did this,” he spat, his eyes burning with fury. “You attacked Celeste. Just as you tried to kill my grandfather a few minutes ago. I saw you!” “Alex…”My words barely had time to settle before he grabbed me. His hand closed around my throat in a vice grip, shoving my back against the cold wall. I gasped, my fingers clawing at his wrist, but he didn’t show any hint of emotions. His grip tightened, his face only inches from mine, seething with unrestrained anger.“If anything happens to Celeste,” he growled, “you will suffer the same fate.”The hatred in his voice sent a shiver down my spine, but I refused to let fear consume me. My pulse pounded against his fingers as I fought against his hold.“You don’t even know what happened!” I choked out, my nails digging into his skin to free my neck. “You have no right to accuse me!
