Chapter 3
Next morning, I was alone in my room working on lesson plans.
CRASH!
Someone kicked my door clean off its hinges.
Sebastian barged in, dragging little Lily by the arm, with teary–eyed Vivian and those angry businessmen right behind him.
Sebastian looked absolutely murderous as he grabbed my wrist, examining it closely.
The second he spotted my emerald bracelet, his eyes went black with fury.
“Julia! Are you out of your goddamn mind? You’re so hell–bent on screwing over Vivian that you got a kid to steal for you?!”
I was totally lost, yanking my wrist away from Sebastian’s death grip.
“What are you even talking about?”
Vivian stepped up, laser–focused on my emerald bracelet with tears pouring down her cheeks.
“I’m not wrong. That bracelet–my mom walked barefoot for three days to reach the Vatican. She prayed for hours on those stone steps until her knees bled, just to get this blessed by the Pope himself before she died. I’d know it anywhere.”
“Julia, why’d you steal the only thing I have left of her?”
“Is this… is this payback for asking you to serve coffee yesterday?”
“I swear I didn’t mean it like that–I was just testing to see if you really loved Sebastian…”
Vivian completely broke down while everyone looked at me like I was absolute trash.
“Jesus, stealing from a dead woman–that’s low even for you.”
“Poor kid was just being nice and this psycho pulls this shit.”

Chapter 3
Sebastian looked at me like I made him sick.
“Julia, I actually thought you’d grown up. When you served everyone yesterday, I figured maybe you were finally ready to fix things between us. Turns out you were planning this twisted crap the whole time!”
“God, I almost felt bad for you!”
Little Lily was trembling, staring up at me with scared eyes.
“Ms. Grace… I found a purse and gave it back to the lady, but she says stuff’s missing…”
Everything suddenly made perfect sense.
I pulled Lily behind me and laughed bitterly.
“Vivian, you should’ve researched before trying to set me up. This bracelet was personally blessed by Pope Francis for my husband’s family–it’s literally one of a kind. Like you could ever have connections like that.”
Vivian’s pupils dilated–she obviously had no clue this simple–looking bracelet had such prestigious origins.
But everyone just burst out laughing at my words.
“This crazy bitch is making up stories now.”
“Stop it!” Sebastian’s face twisted with disgust. “Enough with the lies, Julia! When the hell did I ever get you papal jewelry?”
“The Vatican doesn’t just hand out blessings to nobodies like me. Quit making a fool of yourself! And one more thing…”
He smirked, his voice dripping with contempt.
‘Don’t call me your husband. We’re divorced, remember?”
I took a deep breath, ready to tell him exactly where he could shove it.
“Sebastian, I’m already married to-”
Suddenly Vivian hit the floor hard.

Chapter 3
Her whole body started seizing, foam bubbling from her mouth–it was horrifying.
Sebastian went white, diving into Vivian’s bag and pulling out an emergency inhaler, jamming it between her teeth like he’d done it a million times.
A few seconds later, the convulsions stopped and Vivian curled up in Sebastian’s arms like a broken bird, silently shaking.
Everyone was freaked out by what just went down.
When Sebastian looked at me again, his eyes were pure venom.
“Julia! You know damn well that three years ago your drama gave Vivian PTSD seizures that she still
hasn’t gotten over…”
Vivian weakly grabbed his shirt.
“Babe, stop… I know Julia’s not evil. She’s just pissed about what happened before, pissed that I’m
wearing your ring now.”
“This bracelet is all I have left of my mom. If Julia gives it back, I’ll get out of your lives forever…”
Everyone was eating up this poor suffering angel act.
They all started going off on her behalf.
“Mr. Walker, you can’t seriously consider taking back someone like her! Don’t do that to your girl!”
“Yeah, call the damn cops! Both of them need to learn a lesson!”
Sebastian stared at me with pure hatred burning in his eyes.
“Julia, since you won’t own up to what you did, you and this kid can rot in jail together!”
The door suddenly exploded open-
“Over my dead body!”
