After Reincarnation I Married My Ex's Uncle Chapter 0047
“It’s okay,” Alaric responds, his voice steady but tinged with something I can’t quite place—regret, maybe? “I shouldn’t have asked you to do something like that in the first place.” He runs a hand through his hair and sits down heavily as if the weight of the conversation has finally caught up to him. I open my mouth to reply, but he holds up a hand, stopping me. “However,” he continues, “I’d like you to think about it. Take a few days, let it sink in, and then give me your final answer." His words catch me off guard. For someone so direct, and so decisive, it’s surprising to hear him offer me time. “Okay,” I say hesitantly, nodding. “That seems reasonable." He leans back, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Great. Now, get some rest. Work starts tomorrow, and we have a lot to do." “Okay. Goodnight, then,” I reply, forcing a small smile as I stand. “Goodnight,” he says, his gaze lingering on me for a moment before he turns away. I make my way to my room, closing the door softly

Anna's POVI wake up disoriented, my mind sluggishly trying to piece together where I am and why my bed feels so foreign. My sheets smell different, my pillow feels stiffer, and for a moment, panic flutters in my chest. But then it all comes rushing back—the capital. I’m not at home anymore.Sighing, I glance at the clock. It’s earlier than I need to be awake, but there’s no way I’m falling back asleep now. Resigned, I push the covers off and shuffle to the bathroom.The moment I step inside, I’m reminded once again just how absurdly luxurious this place is. The bathroom alone could rival a spa. Sleek, modern fittings gleam under the soft lighting, and the bathtub—oh, the bathtub—calls to me like a siren. I make a mental note to treat myself to a soak in it later. For now, though, I stick to the basics, my awe lingering as I finish up and head back out.Still groggy, I make my way to the kitchen for a glass of water. The coolness of it soothes my throat, and I lean against the counter

The moment we settle into the car, I glance at Alaric, only to find his expression cool, his teasing smirk replaced by something far more serious. I enter the car before I realise Tristan is in the driver’s seat and Alaric would be seated beside me. Our legs touch—just slightly—but even that brief contact sends an unexpected tingle up my spine. I quickly shove the feeling aside. There’s too much work to do; I don’t have time to sit here getting distracted by... tingles.After exchanging quick pleasantries with Tristan, he pulls the car out of the parking lot, and the moment we're in motion, Alaric launches straight into business. His voice is sharp, clipped, all traces of playfulness gone.“We’ve uncovered significant accounting discrepancies,” he starts, his gaze fixed ahead but his mind clearly elsewhere. “Tax fraud, money laundering—someone’s been covering their tracks, but not well enough. And then there’s the issue of the shares.”I listen carefully as he outlines the details, ex

Even hours later, the encounter with Derrek lingers in my mind like a shadow I can’t shake. It’s not his words that haunt me—I’ve dealt with arrogant, entitled men before. No, it’s the way he had so easily cornered me, the way I had frozen in place, realising just how helpless I would have been if Alaric hadn’t arrived when he did.The helplessness—that’s what truly unsettles me.As soon as we step into the apartment, I mumble a barely audible “goodnight” to Alaric and rush straight to my room, shutting the door behind me. I don’t want to think about it anymore. I just want to shower, crawl into bed, and forget that today ever happened.But just as I’m about to undress, my phone buzzes on the nightstand. A video call request from my brother.I hesitate for a second before answering, and immediately, I’m met with the familiar warmth of my family’s faces. My heart swells at the sight.“Anna!” my mom beams.“There she is,” my dad grins.“How’s the big city treating you, sis?” My brother

Knock knock.A groggy moan escapes my lips as I stir from sleep. The knocking comes again, sharper this time, dragging me into reluctant consciousness. My mind is sluggish, my limbs heavy as I fumble for my phone. Is it morning already?My pulse spikes as I check the time. Did I oversleep?4:30 AM.I exhale in relief and sink back into the pillows. Still early—wait. If it’s not my alarm, then—"Anna, wake up."Alaric’s deep voice filters through the door, sending an uneasy jolt through me.Why is he here? At this hour?The thought alone is enough to yank me into full wakefulness. My stomach twists. What if something happened? What if there’s an emergency?Panic fuels my movements as I throw off the covers, barely untangling myself from my sheets before stumbling toward the door.I yank it open, breath slightly uneven.Alaric stands there, cool and composed as ever, dressed in fitted black gym clothes. The moisture-wicking material clings to his broad shoulders, chest, and the ridiculo

Somehow—somehow—I managed to get ready in time and make it to the front door where Alaric was already waiting. He was leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed, looking like he hadn’t just put me through hell a few hours ago.When he saw me, a flicker of surprise crossed his face. He hadn’t expected me to be on time. Neither did I, honestly.But instead of teasing me, he simply nodded in approval and—wait, was that a smile? A real, genuine smile?I blinked.Since we started training, he had been all sharp orders and cold discipline, locked into his soldier persona. But now, standing here, he seemed softer. More relaxed. Like the Alaric from before—before he decided to become my personal drill sergeant."How are you doing?" he asked.I was still annoyed with him, so I gave him a curt, "Fine," before turning to face the window.He didn’t press further.Good.-----------If I thought getting out of bed was bad, getting through the workday was pure agony.Every step felt like walkin

I sank further into the hot water of the tub, letting the soothing heat work its magic on my sore muscles. The tension from the gruelling training session began to melt away, though my muscles still throbbed faintly. I sighed in relief, feeling a little more like myself, even if the soreness lingered.I really have to buy some groceries, I thought, the thought of relying on Alaric for everything starting to gnaw at me. He’d done more than enough already, and I didn’t want to keep burdening him.After a while, I finally felt well enough to get out of the tub. As I opened the door, there he was—almost about to knock."Oh, hi," I greeted, surprised to find him standing there. "I wanted to see if you were hungry," he said, holding up a takeout bag. "The food’s here."I smiled at him, the first real smile I’d given him in a while. His eyes widened slightly at the unexpected warmth, as though he hadn’t expected to see me looking this... at ease."I should buy some groceries so we won’t have

The next day, I was determined to be ready. I had set my alarm for 4:15 am, giving myself plenty of time to wake up and get changed before Alaric showed up. It was a struggle to drag myself out of bed, but I was determined to prove I could do this.When he knocked, I swung the door open and announced, "I’m ready." He just gave me a quick nod, as if he expected nothing less, and walked straight toward the door. His commanding presence took over, and it hit me—he had expected me to be ready. Ugh, I had mentally prepared myself for his stoicness, but it still stung. I wanted to surprise him.The training that followed felt like a full-on assault. After half an hour of running—my legs screaming for mercy—we moved straight to the weights. I pumped iron like I was training for war, and I was the only hope this country had for survival. Every rep felt like my body was about to break, but I didn’t let out a single complaint. Not even when Alaric told me to take the stairs to our floor instead

His words sink deep into my chest, unraveling something raw inside me. He would do it again—a thousand times over. A shuddering breath escapes me as I stare into his golden eyes, dark and unreadable, yet filled with something that makes my heart ache. I don’t know who moves first. Maybe it’s him. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s inevitable. But in the next breath, I’m in his arms. His lips claim mine with a desperate intensity, as if he’s trying to brand his presence into my very soul. I feel his fingers tighten in my hair, his other hand sliding to my waist, pulling me flush against him. A gasp slips from my lips, but he swallows the sound, deepening the kiss, drinking me in. Heat coils low in my stomach, a wildfire igniting between us. Every touch, every caress, is unspoken emotion—frustration, longing, relief. My hands wander over his back, memorizing the way his muscles tense under my fingertips. He’s warm, solid, real. I tilt my head back as his lips move down my jaw, traili

"Why must you be so stubborn?" he retorts, trying to shake me off, but he's so gentle that I could hold on to him with no effort. "This has nothing to do with you Anna"I tighten my grip on his shirt, refusing to back down. “It has everything to do with me,” I counter, my voice unwavering. “You think I don’t see it? The way you flinch when she touches you? The way your jaw clenches every time she’s near?”His eyes darken, a flicker of something dangerous passing through them, but it’s gone before I can name it.“You’re imagining things.”“Liar,” I breathe.His body tenses beneath my hands. I can feel it—the internal war raging inside him, the push and pull between whatever is holding him back and whatever part of him wants to tell me the truth.“Let go, Anna,” he says, but his fingers are still digging into my waist, still holding me close.I shake my head. “Not until you look me in the eye and tell me you love her.”Silence.A heavy, suffocating silence.His lips part slightly, but n

3rd Person POVCeleste smiled as she traced a finger down Alaric’s arm, relishing the way he tensed beneath her touch. He was always so rigid, so composed—but that was what made him perfect. Powerful, untouchable. And now, he was hers.Of course, that little slut was always lurking around, but it didn’t matter. Alaric belonged to her. He just didn’t realize it yet.She had loved him from the moment she first saw him, standing tall in the middle of a lavish gala, looking as if he ruled the world. And maybe he did. He had that presence, that quiet dominance that made everyone take notice. Celeste had been drawn to him instantly. Love at first sight, they called it.But for her, she just didn't love him, she wanted to own him, and all she needed was an opportunity.And one man had given her exactly that.She hadn’t expected him—the stranger who had approached her one evening, speaking in riddles but making promises she couldn’t ignore. He had known things about her, her desperation, and

After that sleepover, my friends’ words refused to leave me. They kept repeating in my mind at every quiet moment, forcing me to confront something I had been too hurt to even consider. What if Alaric was being coerced? My own heartbreak had consumed me, and I so sure of my betrayal that I never once stopped to question the way it all happened. I had taken his cold, detached words at face value—because believing them was easier than searching for a truth that might just be my mind trying to rationalise the whole thing. But now, I decide to look. Really look.At first, the signs are subtle. Celeste is always the one reaching for him, her hands constantly finding his arm, his shoulder, his chest. She talks endlessly, filling silences he doesn’t seem interested in breaking. And then there’s Alaric—rigid, detached. His responses are clipped, his eyes never quite meeting hers. And then I see it—the barely-there tick of his jaw, the quiet tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers cu

Its been a few days since the party, and I plan on telling the girls what happened with Alaric. I feel warm as laughter echoes through the space. Blankets and pillows are strewn across the floor, abandoned snacks littering the coffee table while we lounge in various positions ready for the sleepover I had planned.Ellie wipes tears from her eyes, still giggling. “I can’t believe Damian actually thought he could stay.”Ciara snorts. “The man really thought he was going to crash our sleepover just because he dropped you off.”I shake my head, still trying to catch my breath from laughing. “He even gave me that serious ‘I’m an exception to the rule’ look.”Ellie sighs dramatically. “It’s the delusion. But I will say, he gave it a good effort.”Ciara grins. “At least he made himself useful before leaving. I’ve never seen Brian warm up to a guy so fast.”I huff. “That’s because they bonded over their collective trauma with sisters.”Ellie rolls onto her stomach, propping her chin in her ha

That night, I lie in bed staring at the ceiling, the events of the day replaying again and again in my head like a broken record. Every sharp word, every dismissive glance, every moment I felt like I was being pushed aside.I let myself wallow in it just for a little while, until something inside me shifts.I don’t want to keep feeling like this.I don’t want to spend another day letting Alaric and Celeste affect me, waiting for their actions to dictate my mood. I’ve been stuck in this cycle of frustration and hurt for weeks and I’m done.It’s time to take back my control.Tomorrow, there’s nothing scheduled until the evening. A society ball, one of those extravagant, high-profile events Alaric has to attend as CEO. And, of course, Celeste would be there as his partner, glued to his side like she belonged there.The thought should make me feel miserable. But tonight, it doesn’t.Because tomorrow, I choose how I feel.And I choose not to let them ruin my night.I sit up and reach for m

Anna's POVI take a steadying breath before walking fully into the office, the tablet in my hand cool against my palm. I’ve barely crossed the threshold when Celeste’s sharp gaze lands on me, her lips already curling in irritation.Alaric is at his desk, flipping through some documents, his attention only half on us.“Sir, you have a board meeting in—” I start, but Celeste cuts me off with a dismissive wave of her manicured hand.“He doesn’t need to hear that from you,” she says coolly. “I’ll be handling his schedule from now on.”My fingers tighten around the tablet. “That’s my job.”Celeste tilts her head, amusement flickering in her ice-blue eyes. “Not anymore. Surely, you don’t think you’ll be sticking around for long?”My jaw clenches. “I wasn’t aware my position was up for discussion.”“It isn’t,” Alaric says, not looking up from his paperwork. For a brief moment, relief floods me. At least he isn’t entertaining her games.But Celeste isn’t finished, her eyes flamed with disgust

Anna’s POV "Good morning, sweetheart. You need to get up now, or you'll be late for work." My mom's voice drifted through the door, gentle but insistent. I groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow. My body protested as I forced my eyes open, the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me. A quick glance at the time had my stomach dropping—I had overslept. Damn it. I had spent the night tossing and turning, my thoughts replaying everything that had happened, every moment leading up to the betrayal that still haunted me. I had gone to bed late, and at some point, I must have slept through my alarm. "Thanks mom," I call out as I hear her leave. Now, I had barely any time to get ready. For a moment, I debated just staying in bed. Calling in sick. Pretending the world outside didn’t exist. But that wasn’t an option. With another groan, I threw the blankets off and forced myself up. Time to face another day. The moment I stepped into the office, the air around me

3 months later I wiped the sweat from my forehead and let out a dramatic sigh. “Alright, whose idea was it to have so much stuff?” “I believe that would be yours, sweetheart,” Dad called from across the living room to my mom, grinning as he struggled to push a particularly heavy box toward the hallway. “If I remember correctly, you’re the one who kept saying, ‘Oh, we’ll need this! We can’t leave this behind!’” she huffes, plopping onto the nearest couch cushion. “Okay, but in my defense, we do need all of it.” “Really?” Brian arched a skeptical brow as he held up a box labeled Kitchen Stuff #5. “Explain to me why we need five whole boxes of just kitchen stuff.” Mom ruffled his hair as he passed by. “Because we actually cook, Brian. Unlike you, who seems to survive solely on energy drinks and microwave meals.” He groaned, batting her hand away. “I do not.....” Dad snorted. “Son, you literally texted us last week asking how to boil an egg.” Laughter filled the room as he
