All Chapters of Revenge After Rebirth: No Longer Yours, Ex!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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 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 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! Mr. Sterling saw ever

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 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
