Not even close.
Her expression darkened as frustration flashed through her eyes.
Juliet wasn't supposed to be this calm.
She was supposed to be devastated.
She's pretending.
Alexa immediately latched onto the thought.
She has to be dying inside.
After all, Juliet and Vincent had been together for years.
There was absolutely no way she could be completely unaffected.
The idea soothed her bruised ego almost immediately.
A smug look returned to her face.
Crossing her arms over her chest, she raised her chin and looked down her nose at Juliet as though she had already won.
"I want you to sign the cancellation of your engagement."
Juliet merely looked at her.
"I'm already pregnant with Vincent's child," Alexa continued arrogantly. "So there's no reason for you to marry him anymore."
Her hand once again settled possessively over her stomach.
"I'll be the one marrying him. So stop standing in our way." The confidence in her voice suggested she already considered herself Mrs. Vincent Jacobs. "We're getting married."
Juliet simply stared at her.
Then she tilted her head slightly.
The gesture alone made Alexa feel as though she were talking to a particularly annoying child.
"I already sent you the papers," Alexa continued impatiently. "Sign them right now."
"Sent them where?" Juliet asked.
The question made Alexa stare at her as though she had completely lost her mind.
"To your email. Where else?" she snapped. "Check it right now."
Juliet didn't bother arguing.
With a small shrug, she turned and walked toward the coffee table.
Alexa immediately followed her with her eyes, anticipation growing stronger with every step.
Juliet pulled her laptop closer and opened it.
The apartment fell silent except for the sound of keys clicking beneath her fingers.
Within less than a minute, she found the email.
