All Chapters of He Divorced Me. Now He Wants Me Back: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Jotham's eyes burned with sincerity, but Julie's wounds still lingered, refusing to be so easily soothed. He'd callously cast her aside years ago, discarding her like rubbish. How could she forgive and forget?"I don't care about you, Jotham. Not one bit. You can reunite with Mirabel or date an entire harem - it makes no difference to me. We're finished. Get out of my house!"For the first time in his life, Jotham felt the urge to beg, to drop to his knees and implore Julie to give him another chance. Desperate to show her how much he truly loved and wanted her now. His eyes, clouded with concern, cleared instantly as Julie stood before him in her nightgown, her beauty leaving him breathless. His resolve crumbled, replaced by a primal urge to claim her, right there, right now! He said the words he’d never said to anyone in his entire life. “Please. Please, Julie.” When morning came he’d blame it on the alcohol. “If you give me a chance then I’d call off this facade with Mirabel and

As Julie drove away, Jotham's frustration mounted, exacerbated by the annoying click-clack of Mirabel's heels. Why did she persist in pursuing him when he'd made his disinterest crystal clear?When they’d gotten together after his divorce, he had pretty much treated her as nonexistent and only focused on building his wealth, and she didn't seem to care so long as he was giving her money. Her actions made it crystal clear she was just with him for the money. He had moved on now, but she kept trying to slitter back into his life.“It doesn’t look good if you’re seen getting close up to another woman when your fiancé is only blocks away.”“You should get your head checked, I’m becoming genuinely concerned for you.” He watched Julie’s car until it disappeared completely from sight.“Says the man going after someone else's wife. Have you no shame?” Mirabel knew she was walking on eggshells, but there was something about getting Jotham to lose his cool that made her excited. She had never

Julie hated leaving her kids but she couldn’t exactly bring them along. She made a mental note to take them on a vacation after everything settled down.The trip was miserable for her. Marcus had spent an unnecessary amount of time talking her ear off. She’d have prepared to sit all on her own on the plane. Jotham had wanted to take his private jet with him but there was no landing pad at the resort. They had to fly business and Mirabel made sure to be seated next to him. It was evening when they finally arrived at the resort in the small village. Julie let out a satisfied breath at the view. The pictures they’d put up on their website did no justice to the beauty in front of her.The attendants helped them with their bags as they walked to the receiving room to be checked in. Except there was an issue with the rooms. The rooms for the staff had been booked ahead of time but not for the rest. There was a problem with the system and the payment hadn’t gone through. It didn’t help th

The gunshot rang out loud, echoing in the woods. Jotham’s fingers froze on his gun. He looked around frantically for Julie but did not see her. He ran to Marcus to ask where she was.“She said she was going to give her kids a call and left,” he answered fearfully. “Where is Mirabel?” When he found her, she had her gun trained in the opposite direction. He read the crazy look in her eyes immediately and hoped that he had read it wrong and she hadn’t done what he was thinking.Except she had. Julie was a bleeding mess on the floor.“Julie!” he screamed as soon as he sighted her. He wouldn’t forgive himself for leaving her when he knew her sister was up to no good. He gently lifted her up, observing her wound. Luckily, the bullet had only grazed her arm but it still hurt a lot. Julie couldn’t stop herself from crying and clinging onto Jotham.When she got better, he would worry about the stair stains she had left on his jacket. She held on tight as he carried her back to the resort, t

Julie’s scream rang through the space as she looked through the TV what what remained of the car. A huge tree branch had fallen due to the storm and crashed on top of the car.The windscreen was completely broken and the driver couldn’t be seen. But how could Julie have missed the little mob of black hair that was only visible from the side of the car through the window?“That’s him!” she yelled, still in shock. “How could you have let him leave?” she asked no one in particular. “We have to get to him now, I can still save him!” the hotel staff looked at her like she had lost it. It wasn’t until the bellman who had seen him leave with the rented car earlier recognized him that they got into action.There was an ambulance in the parking lot. They only let Julie follow them after she proved that she was a certified doctor and should follow them instead of waiting for the call-in doctor. Every second was crucial when it came to saving someone’s life. They left in the blinding rain to s
