Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 36
Julia’s POVI stormed back into the meeting room, my pulse raging in fury as my eyes were still locked onto Alex, who is now seated.I stilled myself as I tried to be calm and afterwards, I spoke calmly to Alex.“May I have a little time with you?” I questioned. “Please meet me in my office.” I added and then left the meeting room and headed to my office while Emily walked alongside me.Reaching inside my office, “Emily,!” I called, “The meeting is over, announce to everyone.Emily, standing near me with startled eyes, gave a nod before walking out.. Just a few minutes after I sat, the sound of my office door opening caught my attention. I looked up to see Alex. He stepped forward, his both hands in his pocket.“Scarlett and Jake are not here yet.” He said casually but his statement made me boil in anger. I knew he was behind this. In fury, I approached him and grabbed him by the collar.“What the hell have you done?” My voice was a growl, my grip tightening around his expensive bl

Alex’s POV Scarlett sat stiffly in the chair with ropes that bound her wrists in front of it. “I don’t know what this is all about but whatever this is, please we can sort it out. Not this way.” Scarlett pleaded with teary eyes.Jake, on the other hand, had no such control. He yanked at his restraints, forcing to break free. “Julia will never forgive you for this!” Jake threatened.His face flushed with fury, body tense with the energy of someone barely holding himself back from launching an attack on me.Just then, Cornel entered the room with a tray, placing it on the table in front of them. Plates of food and bottles of water. “Untie them.” I instructed and Cornel did as instructed. “You both should eat, your injuries will be checked soon. At least I’m not so heartless.” I said as I watched Scarlett’s gaze staring at the meal for the briefest second before she turned to me.“I don’t want food.” She paused. “I want to go home… please.” She begged but her words fell on deaf ear

Julia’s POVLucas understood the situation I was in, he didn’t question me further.“Hand the phone over,” he instructed.I switched the phone to speaker mode and extended it to the officer, who took it hesitantly after giving me a short glare.“This is Lynwood,” Lucas introduced himself as I could see the way the officer composed only by Lucas’s voice. “I assume you’re familiar with my name.”The officer swallowed audibly. “Y-yes, sir.”“Good. Then I trust you understand that when I make a request, I expect it to be met without unnecessary delays. The lady in front of you…” Lucas paused, as if giving the officer a moment to grasp the situation fully, “Is in urgent need of CCTV surveillance access, and you’re standing in the way of an ongoing investigation.”“Sir, I…”“I don’t want excuses,” Lucas interrupted smoothly. “Grant immediate access. Right now.”The officer glanced at me and nodded. “Understood, sir. My apologies for the delay.”“You’ll also ensure no further interference.

Julia’s POV I turned back. My gaze bore into Cornel. His eyes already turned red as if holding himself from shedding tears. “I really never thought I would get the chance to save my mother's life.” He stated and then looked up to me. His expression looked tense and I could see the unease in his eyes. “Thanks.” He paused and then continued. “The place where Scarlett and Jake are staying is safe and comfortable,” Cornel said, his voice calm. “There’s plenty of sunshine. Alex won’t hurt them, so there’s no need to worry. They are fine.” “That’s all?” I leaned forward, placing my hand on the table, not leaving his gaze. “That’s all I know.” He added. “I know you know where Alex had kept them.” I paused and leaned forward. “Please, Cornel… Where is this place?” Cornel’s voice came low, as if anticipating my reaction. “I wouldn’t lie about this.” He said. “I’ve said what I know. I really shouldn’t say more. I need to go back to work now, so if you excuse me…” “Please…” he didn'

Julia’s POVI placed my hand on my head, slightly pressing my temples as if that would somehow force my memory to work. Celeste’s birthday. When was it again? It was right there, just at the edge of my mind, but the more I tried to grasp it, the more it slipped away.Then, a memory flashed into my head.Alex had once handed me a set of gifts that Celeste didn’t want. He had handed a green velvet little box to me, nonchalantly.“Since Celeste doesn’t want these, she suggested I give them to you instead. You should thank her.”While holding the box, I stared at the box, my fingers caressing around the packaging with a smile. Even though it wasn’t directly bought for me, I cherished it considering the fact it was Alex who had given it to me. “Thank you.” I said but his response was cold.“There’s no need for that.” He added. He had walked away immediately, as if the mere act of giving me something was an inconvenience.I carefully studied the box before opening it and to my surprise, it

Julia’s POVI stepped closer to Scarlett. “What has Alex done to you?” I questioned, my voice filled with confusion but Scarlett didn’t give me any answers.She swiftly and happily circled me as she caressed my hair, pushing away some strands that covered my face in a messy way with gentleness. This was the part of Scarlett I had never seen. Why be so sweet all of a sudden? At this point, I knew something was fishy.Shortly, she broke the silence.“Sweetheart, there's going to be a press conference,” she said, her tone calm. “Your presence is needed.” She took a sip of her drink and then she took a few steps towards the window, her expression all looking really excited.I took a few steps closer, searching her face. “What’s going on? And what press conference? What's happening?” Scarlett turned to me. Instead of giving me answers, she said something else.“Care for a drink?” Seriously? “You don't get to offer me a drink when you haven't given me an answer.” I said. “Fine! I'll tak

Julia’s POV Alex’s last statement crawled at my skin. The urge to scream, to yell out my frustrations, intensified. But I didn’t want to create a scene, not when Jake was here.I stumbled into the kitchen and switched off the gas cooker. “Let’s go home.” I declared. Jake didn't argue or say another word. He just took off the apron and followed me. We entered the room Scarlett was in only to find her eating some snacks while she watches a television show.“You are coming with me.” I said as Jake approached and took Scarlett's few belongings. “It’s time to leave.” Scarlett looked hesitant, her face twisting into sadness as she spoke. “Just a little time. The show will be over soon.” Her words fell on deaf ears. I watched as Jake helped you pull her up as she reluctantly followed us out of the building. I drove them home.Later that night, before going to bed, I thought of checking on Jake in his room. I reached. I pushed open the door quietly, half-expecting him to be asleep. But J

Alex's POVThe thought of Julia agreeing to my terms made me feel satisfied. I know she would, not when it involves Jake. The thought of it made my lips curve out a smile.Suddenly, my ringing phone shattered the moment. I looked at the screen to see it was grandpa calling. So I picked.“Grandpa.” I called, his voice sounding so soft and welcoming. “Are you chanced? How about you come for dinner tonight?” “Sure, grandpa! I'll be there.” “Good boy.” He added and then ended the call. Immediately after the call, I dialled Celeste’s number. I needed to inform her I will be coming home late tonight. She picked on the first ring.“Alex.” She called with a soft voice.“I'll be going to see grandpa today. He wants me to come for dinner tonight and I'm likely to come home late. While I'm away, take care of yourself until I return.” I just wanted to be sure she was fine and wouldn't feel lonely in my absence while I'm away.“Can I go with you, Alex? I want to make a special meal for grandp

Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 69
Julia’s POVAlex and Celeste walked into the dining room, fingers intertwined. Celeste smiled slightly, tucking a strand of her perfectly curled hair behind her ear as Alex pulled out her chair and helped her sit down with all the gallantry of a man starring in his own romantic drama. Alex sat beside her too.“Try this,” Alex said softly, lifting a piece of seared scallop from his plate and gently feeding it to her.Celeste opened her mouth with reluctance, cheeks flushing in shyness as if the moment embarrassed her, though she clearly adored every bit of attention from Alex and I knew. “Alex, not in front of your wife,” she whispered with a coy smile, her eyes moving briefly toward me. “It’s not appropriate.” She added.Alex chuckled, dabbing at the corner of her lips with his napkin to clean the stain in my mouth.“Don’t worry about her.” He replied.I smiled and took a sip of my wine, as if their actions were invisible in my eyes. “This food is amazing,” I said, cutting into my sal

Julia’s POV Alex was definitely here to pick me and take me back home.His car was parked by the curb, sleek and black car like always, his silhouette unmistakable even through the tinted windshield. I saw him lean forward in his seat, waiting, expecting me to come to him like a good wife.The moment I pulled Lucas’s car door open, i slid inside the front seat and closed the door.“Drive,” I said. Lucas didn’t question me. He simply pulled into the lane but we didn’t get far.Alex’s car swerved abruptly, cutting us off. Alex’s tires screeched. Lucas slammed the brakes, jolting us forward with a sharp jerk.“For God’s sake,” Lucas muttered, gripping the wheel. Before I could respond, Alex was already out of his car and striding toward us. His jaw clenched as I locked the doors immediately.Alex yanked the handle on my side. When it wouldn’t budge, he pounded his fist against the window.“Lucas! Open the damn door!” he shouted. “Let my wife out of the car!”I didn’t move. I sat as

Julia’s POVLucas? Seeing Lucas’s message, I am extremely confused why but then I waved that thought and then decided to type a reply. I was just about to type a reply that I had been so busy lately and that’s why I haven’t got to see him when Lucas sent another message, it was a photo. I clicked on the image and to my surprise, It was the official Havemont invitation, elegant parchment sealed with a golden crest. My fingers paused mid-type. He followed it up with a message. “I got a special invitation at Havemont but I won’t be able to attend on that day. I’ve got some arrangements I can’t reschedule. But I want you to have this. It’s your mother’s and must be important to you, so I think this invitation will be more useful in your hands than being wasted by me .”What a lucky day for me! I needed a thing so much and someone just handed it to me!But how did Lucas know that it was my mother’s necklace ?I stared at the photo, then back at the message. I couldn’t believe everything

Julia’s POVThere was no way I would allow Alex to gift Celeste my mother’s necklace so I tried to make Alex give up by belittling that pearl necklace. “I can’t believe Celeste wants something horrible, nothing fancy,” I scoffed as I stepped forward, folding my arms across my chest. “There’s nothing rare about pearls anymore. They’re practically manufactured in bulk these days.”Alex didn’t even turn to look at me. He was too busy admiring the dainty luster of the necklace. I took another step forward. “Seriously, Alex. Don’t you think you should explain to her she’s making the wrong choice? This necklace isn’t even that impressive.”He looked at me finally. “Your opinion wasn’t asked for. It’s Celeste’s choice, not yours. If she wants it, she will have it.” A few customers nearby glanced over but I didn’t care. “This necklace will fade in no time, trust me.” Alex ignored me before he finally spoke. “I think it’s sweet. A man who doesn’t hesitate to give his woman what she wants.
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 65
Julia’s POVThe moment I saw the necklace, my heart felt a sudden relief. The necklace was a pearls strung together in a flawless strand, creamy white, perfectly round, with the faintest luminescent sheen that shone in the light like moonlight on water. The necklace’s importance likely stems from its deep emotional value to me. It was my mother’s favorite newer jewelry. It has been a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations of my great grand mother and to my grandmother and then to my mother. It’s a quiet moment of connection of the family. I want to find it because losing it feels like losing a piece of my soul, my mother is supposed to pass it to me.I was extremely excited.“I’ll call you when I need you.” I said to the maid massaging me and she nodded and left the room.Then I continued reading. “t’s a private auction, by Invitation only.”I didn’t wait for her to finish.“Find a way,” I’d said. “Please, Emily. I need to be there. That necklace, it’s not just some hei

Julia’s POVIt felt so damn good. Pretending to be weak, letting those tears roll down my cheeks at just the right moment, what an act. I had simply mimicked Celeste, that master manipulator, and it worked like a charm. Alex punished Stella without hesitation, like some knight defending his damsel. And the best part? I didn’t even have to beg.His gaze landed on me, his brows furrowed.“You didn’t even thank me,” he said. I tilted my head, keeping my tone neutral. “Thank you? For what?”His expression shifted, disbelief flashing across his face. “For defending you. For standing up to Stella.”“I thought it was only right for you to punish your misbehaving maid. She disrespected me, didn’t she? I’m your wife.”Alex scoffed. “That doesn’t mean you can take my support for granted.”“Support? Alex, you did the bare minimum. Do you expect applause every time you remember you’re married?”He stared at me, speechless.“I don’t need to thank you for doing what you should’ve done in the first
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 63
Julia’s POV Immediately, I saw Stella’s change of reaction. She looked tensed now. “I’m sure the CCTV wouldn’t lie.” I added. Alex stared at me and then at Stella. And then Alex and I made our way towards the room, Stella trailing a step behind us. I could feel Stella stealing glances at me while Alex’s expression remained unreadable. Reaching the bathroom, there was no camera inside the bathroom, only one stationed right outside the door. That single camera was the only eye that had captured what happened. I stopped just beneath the camera’s angle and looked up and then my fingers clutched the sleeve of Alex’s jacket, tugging at him ever so slightly. He glanced at me and then opened his phone since it was connected to the camera. Stella stuttered. “Sir…” but Alex ignored her as his attention was on his phone, trying to access the CCTV camera. Shortly, the video began to play. The image of Stella appeared on the screen , though not clear enough. It showed Stella yankin

Julia’s POVShe gasped, but I wasn’t done.With no words, I grabbed her by the neck, my cold gaze biting into her with no emotions as I spoke. “Don’t. You. Dare. Speak. To. Me. The. Way. You. Always. Did.” I gripped her more firmly and pulled her closer. “Don’t you dare!” I pushed her backwards and then I grabbed the stick again and hit the mirror twice.“You want a show? Here. Watch me destroy the mirror.” I spat, scattering the glasses all over with the stick.“Go tell him I did it. Maybe he’ll promote you to his second bed warmer.”Her mouth hung open but no words came. She looked speechless because she hadn’t expected me to fight back. That weak Julia died a long time ago.“You… you’re insane!” She stuttered.“No,” I said coldly. “I’ve just had enough.”I didn’t care. Let him know. Let him see what happened when he turned me into a prisoner in my own life. Let him come back and find pieces of his expensive glass shredded on the floor. “I’m not your servant or Alex’s,” I hissed
Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex! Chapter 61
Julia’s POV“I’m not going with you,” I said.Alex stared at me. No more drama from you.” He paused and continued. “I have to go to the company,” he added. There’s a mess I need to clean up. But I can’t leave you here. You will cause another trouble.” I looked away. “I can take care of myself.”He took a step closer, his voice sounding impatient. “Grandpa’s health is unstable. I’m not risking it. You’re coming with me.”“I don’t want to go to your house,” I murmured.Alex didn’t reply. He didn’t give me the chance to argue again, either. He entered the room and took my things and then reached for my arm, dragging me towards his car. “At least wait for grandpa’s return.” I said but my words fell on deaf ears. The ride was silent. I stared out the window, refusing to meet his gaze, though I felt him glance at me more than once occasionally. The moment we pulled into the driveway of his mansion, the memories began to flow back as I remembered the cold, elegant, immaculate humiliatio
