Third-Person POVHeir/HeirnessFace-SlappingRevenge

Julian’s heart skipped a beat. His mind raced as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing. He knew Ethan and Eva were close—too close at times—but this was different. This felt... wrong. His eyes flickered over the rest of the conversation, each message confirming his worst fear. The exchanges were casual at first, playful even, but then they turned more intimate. There was talk of meeting up “in secret,” of how much they missed each other, of their “special time” together. Julian’s throat tightened, the words blurring as his pulse quickened. He scrolled back through the messages, his hands trembling as the truth slowly sunk in.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Perfect Life

The sun was beginning to set over the city skyline, casting long shadows across the glass windows of the high-rise office that Julian Grey occupied. At 29, Julian had already achieved what most people could only dream of—a promising career as a lawyer at his father’s prestigious law firm, a fiancé who seemed to be his perfect match, and a best friend who had been with him through thick and thin. Life, in Julian’s eyes, was as perfect as it could be.

His fiancée, Eva Carter, stood beside him in the office as they looked out over the city below. She was everything Julian had ever wanted—intelligent, beautiful, and from a family that had the same social standing as his. Their engagement had been the talk of the town, a symbol of their bright futures together. Her smile was radiant, a reflection of the life they were building, a life that seemed destined for greatness.

“I can’t believe we’re finally here, Julian,” Eva said, her voice soft with excitement. “Your father’s law firm is going to be ours. You’re going to run it someday. The future is ours to shape.”

Julian turned to her, his eyes reflecting the same enthusiasm. He had worked tirelessly to earn his place in the firm, and Eva had been by his side through every long night and every stressful negotiation. She was the one who had always believed in him, even when his confidence faltered. He couldn’t imagine a future without her.

“We’ve worked for this, Eva,” he said, his voice steady but filled with pride. “I’ve got the trust of my father. Everything is falling into place.”

It wasn’t just the law firm that Julian was looking forward to. There were big plans on the horizon—wedding preparations, business deals, and, of course, the prospect of starting a family together. They had built their lives together, each milestone adding another layer of depth to their love and commitment.

In the background, his best friend, Ethan Brooks, was making the final touches on a legal document that Julian had been overseeing. Ethan was Julian’s confidante, his closest ally in both work and life. They had met in law school and had been inseparable ever since. Ethan was everything Julian admired—smart, hardworking, and loyal. They had spent countless hours working together, from late-night study sessions to building connections in the corporate world. Ethan’s dry wit and unflappable demeanor had made him the perfect partner in crime for Julian.

Ethan looked up from his desk, a grin spreading across his face as he watched the couple. “You two look like you’re on top of the world. I hope you’ve already started planning for your honeymoon. You deserve it.”

Julian chuckled, walking over to Ethan’s desk. “It’s all in the works. I’m just waiting for everything to fall into place.”

“You deserve everything that’s coming your way,” Ethan added, his tone genuine. He had always been supportive of Julian’s aspirations, and it was clear to see that he was happy for his friend’s success.

The three of them made for an enviable team—business partners, friends, and loved ones—working together toward a shared future of wealth, influence, and happiness. Julian felt invincible, as if nothing could ever go wrong.

As the evening wore on, the conversation shifted to the upcoming gala—a grand event celebrating the firm's success and Julian’s future role as its new leader. Julian felt an overwhelming sense of pride as he thought about the life he had created with Eva and Ethan, and the future that lay ahead.

But beneath the surface of their perfect life, there were cracks that Julian couldn’t yet see. The small whispers of doubt, the quiet exchanges, the lingering glances—all of which he was blind to. He had always trusted Eva and Ethan, never suspecting that they harbored their own ambitions, hidden from his view. The perfection he believed in was a fragile façade, one that would soon shatter, leaving him to pick up the pieces of his broken life.

The chapter closes with Julian toasting to the future—a future he thought was secure. But in the shadows, the seeds of betrayal had already been sown.

    Chapter 2: The Discovery
    It started with something small—a missed text message on Eva's phone. It was just a glance as he reached for his jacket, a moment of curiosity he would later regret. But what Julian didn’t know was that this single, innocent moment would shatter the world he had spent years building.Eva’s phone buzzed on the kitchen counter, the screen lighting up with a name Julian knew all too well: Ethan Brooks. He wasn’t the type to snoop—he trusted Eva implicitly. But there was something in the way her smile faded when she picked up the phone, something in her eyes that made Julian pause. She had always been open with him, always. So why was she hiding this? He couldn’t help it. He picked up the phone, not with the intent to invade her privacy, but out of a gnawing feeling he couldn’t explain.The message was brief. A simple, almost innocent exchange at first glance:Ethan: "You up for tonight?"But it was the second message that froze Julian in place:Ethan: "Can’t wait to see you, baby. It’s b

    Chapter 3: The Confrontation
    The sun had barely risen, but Julian was already standing at the doorstep of his apartment, his fists clenched by his sides. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions—hurt, betrayal, and a deep, burning anger that he couldn’t suppress. Every part of him screamed to walk away, to leave the destruction of his life behind, but there was one thing he needed more than anything: answers. He had to hear it from their lips. He needed to confront them, face to face, and hear the truth.He had already made his decision. There would be no more running. No more silence. He had been broken, yes, but he would be damned if he let them destroy him without facing them head-on.Julian pushed open the door with a force that echoed through the quiet apartment. Inside, the space was still, and the sunlight that filtered in through the large windows cast an almost haunting glow over everything. It should have been peaceful, but it felt suffocating. Eva was sitting on the couch, sipping a cup of coffee, her expr

    Chapter 4: The Plan Unravels
    Julian had barely slept since the confrontation. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Eva’s tear-streaked face, heard Ethan’s empty apologies.

They had orchestrated a conspiracy, a plot to take everything from him, and it was something Julian had never expected to face.He had spent years working alongside his father to build the law firm, a legacy that had been passed down through generations. It was his future, his inheritance, his birthright. But now, with the weight of their betrayal settling in, Julian began to see the full picture.

    Chapter 6: The Decision
    Julian sat alone in his private office, the city lights casting long shadows across the room. The weight of everything—the betrayal, the humiliation, the crumbling of his empire—had become unbearable.

They now seemed irrelevant, like the remnants of someone else’s life.The law firm was gone. His social standing was shattered. Eva and Ethan, the two people he had trusted more than anyone in the world, had stripped him of everything he held dear. The world he once belonged to—his career, his reputation, his relationship—was slipping away, piece by piece.The pain was almost too much to bear, the hurt too raw. But beneath it, there was a simmering anger, a fury that fueled him.

His past was erased, and with it, any traces of the vulnerability that Julian had once held dear. The pain of betrayal, the scars of a love lost, they were no longer his to carry.

    Victor Kane might have buried Julian Grey, but shadows of his past continued to haunt him, slipping through the cracks of his otherwise carefully guarded mind.
