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

Celeste's POVThe next day I felt like the world was suddenly spinning out of my control. The events of yesterday were still fresh in my mind, haunting me like a never-ending loop. My worries grew worse than last night. On the day Julia called off the marriage, I was extremely happy. Happy that she was out of the way, I'll finally be with my Alex without her being in our lives. I had convinced myself that with Julia breaking off the engagement with Alex, I would finally have my chance. I told myself it was inevitable. After all, I had been Alex's perfect match, hadn’t I? The chemistry we had was undeniable ever since we were little, and I had thought that once Julia was out of the picture, Alex would see that we were meant to be together. He would get married to me instead. I thought he never felt anything for her and wanted her out of our love lives. But now, I was left with the cold, crushing reality of Alex wanting to marry Julia. Maybe for the sake of that old man, Mr. Sterling

Celeste’s povThe day was finally here. The press conference was today, and I was already buzzing with excitement. It wasn’t just any press conference; it was the moment I wanted to witness Alex's reaction when he didn't see Julia, and I wanted to make sure I looked stunning, as always. As I set the phone down, I glanced at the clock. I had a few hours before the event. I turned to Alex who was busy on his PC.“Your haircut is not looking nice at all. You don't expect to look this way in front of Julia and everyone else. It's a Media conference, you forgot?”Alex ran a hand through his unruly hair. "I think you should have a hair cut.” I stated and moved to him, now standing in front of him. “Well, if you want, I can call Jenny from the beauty saloon. She can come over and take care of it,” I offered.Alex raised an eyebrow, looking at me skeptically. "That will be great.” He said, his eyes still on the screen of his PC."Yes, sweetheart. Trust me, she’s amazing. I’d never recommend

Julia’s POVThe journalist and every other person present in the room turned their heads back. The room was filled with velvet chairs arranged in perfect rows as journalists were seated comfortably, cameras already rolling and flashes popping at intervals. While I walked, I could hear side-talks.“Is that Julia?” someone whispered.“She looks absolutely stunning,” another gasped.“Her dress… she’s glowing.”“She’s always been beautiful, but tonight?”I kept my gaze forward, my lips slightly curved in a knowing smile. Cameras clicked, flashes lit the air, and every eye turned to follow. Shortly, I saw him lounging on the stage chair in front of the table, every inch of him steeped in arrogance as usual as his eyes bore into mine coldly. Then I made my way toward Alex. Alex lifted his eyes lazily and met mine with a smirk. He slowly set the glass aside, stood, and clapped his hands mockingly once.“Well, well,” he drawled. “The mighty Julia finally came…How the proud have fallen.”I s

Julia’s POVI saw the surprise look on Alex’s face.The journalists on the other hand paused with their parking. They all turned to me. Then I continued.“My safety has been threatened in recent days. And despite it all, I am terrified. And I’m using this moment to seek help.”Immediately, the cameras were brought closer.Click. Click. Click. Dozens of camera shutters erupted at once. Reporters shot up from their seats, some walked to me, and they filmed it, throwing me so many questions. “Are you saying you’ve been attacked?”“Who’s threatening you?”“Do you have evidence?”“What does the attacker want?”“Do you perhaps know who’s involved?”The cameras zoomed in closer, every angle, every twitch on my face was captured. I gave a small, sad smile and answered only some.“I’m not pointing fingers yet,” I said. “But yes, I have reason to believe someone close to me is behind the threats.”A flurry of murmurs exploded in the room. Alex turned to me slowly, I could see the fear in his e

Julia’s POVHer lips parted. She looked down at her wrist, at the sleek silver watch with the small sapphire inset. Her fingers hesitated. But then, she quietly pulled it and handed it to me.I took the watch and walked back to the stage, each step I took, dozens of cameras followed me.I paused at the center, lifting the sleek, silver watch for all to see. My fingers curled tightly around the watch as I faced the sea of expectant eyes as cameras flashing intensified.Then I removed a chip from the watch and connected it to the computer beside me.Before I spoke, I gave a small nod to the technician beside me. “Play the recording,” I said.Immediately, the technician played it. IJenny’s colleague by name Annie’s voice came first.”So it’s done then? Celeste told you to use the expired batch, right?”Jenny responded. “Yeah.

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

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
