Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle Hell is just the beginning
Serena’s mind spun as she tried to process Ben’s words. "I want to go home," she said again, her voice shaky this time. The gala had been draining, and the confrontation with Jake, followed by Rachel’s ominous warning, had left her feeling exposed and uncertain. She had enough. She just wanted to escape somewhere familiar, somewhere safe.Ben, however, didn’t seem to take her request seriously at all. His lips curled into that infuriating smirk, the one that made her feel both small and helpless, even when she tried to stand her ground. His laughter rang out, loud and unapologetic, as if he found her suggestion utterly amusing.“Home?” he repeated, the word drawing out with mock incredulity. “You mean my house, right?”Serena’s breath caught in her throat, and she froze, unable to mask the sudden flush of panic that crept up her neck. "I—" She stuttered, trying to find her footing. "What do you mean?"Ben leaned in closer, his eyes locking onto hers with a sharpness that made her hear

Serena stood motionless for a long moment, her thoughts swirling. What had she gotten herself into? Every instinct screamed at her to run, to flee, to escape this gilded cage Ben had placed her in.But where could she go? What would she even do?The cold reality of her situation settled over her like a heavy blanket. This was her life now. The only question was how she would survive it—and what she would become in the process.As the nanny set the tray down on the table beside her, Serena sat down, her body trembling slightly. Serena’s chest rose and fell in anger, her fists clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms. The broken plate lay in shattered pieces at her feet, remnants of the meal she had refused to eat scattered across the floor. Her stomach twisted with hunger, but she refused to give in. She would rather starve than let Ben think he had won.The cook, an older woman with a worried expression, hesitated before leaving the room. She knew better than to cross Ben, an

Ben sat in his dimly lit office, his fingers drumming rhythmically against the glass of whiskey in his hand. His jaw was clenched, his mind replaying the confrontation with Serena over and over again. He could still feel the warmth of her body against his, the fire in her eyes, the way she had touched his chest with defiance, as if she had any power over him. It infuriated him, yet at the same time, it fascinated him.He took a deep drag from his cigarette, letting the smoke swirl around him before exhaling. The silence in the room was deafening, save for the occasional crackling of the burning tobacco. He was used to being in control. No one talked back to him. No one challenged him. Yet Serena had done just that. And what was worse—he had let her.“You love her, don’t you?”The voice of his assistant, Mr. Chris, broke through his thoughts. The older man stood near the bookshelf, watching him with an expression that was more knowing than curious.Ben scoffed, swirling the amber liqui

A dull ache throbbed in Serena’s head as she slowly blinked her eyes open. The harsh white lights above her made her wince, and she realized she wasn’t in her room. The sterile scent of antiseptic filled her nose, and the soft beep of a heart monitor echoed in the quiet space.Where am I?She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her to stay still. Then, as her vision cleared, her gaze landed on a figure slumped beside her bed.Ben.Serena’s heart skipped a beat.He was sitting on the chair, his elbows propped on the hospital bed, his head resting on his folded arms. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, his usual sharp appearance somewhat undone. His suit jacket had been tossed carelessly over the chair, his tie loosened, and the top buttons of his shirt undone.He looked… exhausted.Did he stay here all night?Serena’s lips parted slightly, her emotions in turmoil. This wasn’t the Ben she knew—the cold, ruthless man who seemed to enjoy controlling her li

Serena sat up in bed, ignoring the slight dizziness that still lingered. She wasn’t about to let Ben think he had won—especially after what he had put her through.Ben stood near the window, his back to her, one hand in his pocket and the other gripping the edge of the curtain. He hadn’t spoken since the doctor left, but Serena could sense the tension in his stance. He was holding something back.She wasn’t sure why that unsettled her more than his usual arrogance.“So, what now?” she finally broke the silence, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Are you going to play the role of the concerned husband, or was that just for the doctor’s benefit?”Ben turned around slowly, his expression unreadable. “Don’t push me, Serena.”Serena let out a dry laugh. “Push you? You’re unbelievable, Ben. I’m the one who nearly died because of you, and now I’m the one pushing you?”His jaw clenched, but his voice remained dangerously calm. “You refused to eat. You brought this on yourself.”Anger flared in he

Stacy stood frozen behind the half-open door, her breath shallow as she listened to Jake’s words through the crack. Her grip tightened on the glass of wine in her hand, her knuckles turning white."If I can’t have Serena, nobody can.""Does she know your secret?""What do you think she would do when she finds out?"Jake’s voice was filled with desperation and bitterness, but Stacy could hear something else beneath it—obsession.She clenched her jaw as she slowly stepped back, making sure not to make a sound. She had heard enough.Jake wanted Serena back.Jake, the man she had fought for, sacrificed for, betrayed her best friend for, was now plotting to throw her away like she was nothing.She stormed down the hallway of the penthouse they shared, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Anger burned in her chest as she grabbed her phone and flopped onto the plush couch.She scrolled through old photos of her and Jake—laughing, kissing, living in a world she thought was her

Ben’s eyes flickered downward for the briefest second—so fast that if she hadn’t been watching him like a hawk, she wouldn’t have noticed.Gotcha.She let out a soft, sultry sigh. “You know, Mr. Blackwood… I’ve always admired powerful men like you.”Ben chuckled. “Is that so?”Stacy tilted her head, her eyes locked onto his. “Mm-hmm. Men who take what they want. Who aren’t afraid to be ruthless.”Ben exhaled, rubbing his temple with his thumb and forefinger before meeting her gaze head-on. “Let’s cut the act, shall we?”Stacy’s smile didn’t falter. So he wants to play tough? Fine.“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she said, feigning innocence.Ben leaned forward, resting his forearms on his desk. “You think I don’t know exactly what you’re doing?”Stacy widened her eyes, her lips parting slightly. “Oh? And what exactly am I doing?”Ben smirked, his gaze roaming over her slowly before locking onto her eyes. “You came here thinking you could seduce me, didn’t you?”She let out

Ben chuckled, his breath hot against Stacy’s ear as he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her even closer. His grip was firm but teasing, his fingers grazing over the fabric of her dress in a way that sent a shiver down her spine."You think I haven't seen a body as soft as yours?" he murmured, his lips barely brushing against the sensitive skin of her neck. "Maybe. But I bet none have ever felt quite like this."Stacy swallowed hard, her body arching slightly into him as his hands roamed over her curves, slow and deliberate. The way he held her, the way he toyed with her anticipation, made her pulse race."You like playing games, don’t you?" she whispered, tilting her head to the side to give him more access.Ben smirked, his fingers trailing along the edge of her dress before sliding just beneath the silky material. "Maybe," he admitted, his voice thick with amusement. "But only when I know I'm going to win."Before she could respond, he turned her around in a fluid motion, pr

Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle Set the plan rolling
Ben's hand tightened around the phone as he read the message again, the warmth from Serena’s texts evaporating in an instant. His jaw clenched, the calm and softness he’d felt just moments ago buried beneath a flood of dread and anger.The voice message had come from a private line. One that no one outside the circle knew existed. The voice—low, sharp, heavily accented—was unmistakable. The Elder. Or worse, one of his lieutenants, speaking on his behalf.Ben swallowed hard, forcing himself to stay composed as he replayed the message in his mind."When will you start with our plans? You’re married to her, so what’s holding you, huh? I... I am sorry for the delay but everything is under control. You better set the plan rolling. THE ELDER won’t tolerate anything and would gladly remove everything that stands in his way."He stood, pacing the length of his office, fists clenching and unclenching as he wrestled with the sudden collision of two worlds—one that had brought him unexpected war
Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle Love story
Serena woke with a jolt, her eyes snapping open, heart pounding wildly in her chest.For a moment, she wasn’t entirely sure where she was—the softness of the bed beneath her, the lingering warmth of another presence, the faint scent of cedarwood and something darker, masculine, still hanging in the air. Then it hit her.Ben’s room.She bolted upright, eyes wide as she took in her surroundings. The tall windows framed by cream-colored curtains, the sleek modern art on the walls, the impossibly clean desk in the corner—every detail was so unmistakably him. Her breath caught.She’d spent the night in Ben Blackwood’s bed.And not in the way anyone would assume. No passion, no champagne-fueled haze, no whispered midnight confessions. Just… care. Intimacy of a different kind. A kind she had never dared to offer or receive before. Her eyes dropped to the bed—his side empty, the sheets slightly rumpled. Still warm.Panic skittered across her chest like cold fingers.God, what if someone saw?
Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle When love comes calling
The sound of the rain had faded into a soft drizzle by the time the housekeeper knocked again, her voice laced with real worry this time.“Madam,” she said, wringing her hands, “please come. Mr. Ben… it’s not just stress. He’s burning up. I’m scared.”Serena had been curled up in the sunroom with her laptop, trying to refocus her thoughts after Jake’s chaotic storm of messages. She had dismissed the housekeeper earlier, brushing it off with a wave of her manicured hand.“Ben? Sick? That man doesn’t do sick,” she had said with a faint scoff. “He probably just needs a break from the stock market and his army of assistants.”But now, something in the housekeeper’s voice struck her.She stood abruptly. “Where is he?”“In his room. He hasn’t moved all day.”Serena didn’t hesitate this time. She made her way down the hallway—her heels clicking against the polished wood floors—toward the room she had never stepped into, despite being married to him. The door was slightly ajar. She pushed it
Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle Battle of two relatives
Serena sat on the edge of their grand bed, the silk sheets crumpled beneath her fingers, the glow of the city lights casting shadows across the marble floor. She had been lost in thought, trying to finish the last lines of an email when her phone buzzed on the nightstand.She didn’t recognize the number immediately. But when she opened the message, she froze.Hi Serena. It’s Jake.I know, so I’ll go straight to the point.I’m sorry for cheating on you, Serena. Please take me back. Please. I will literally do anything for you.So what happens to Stacy, huh? I’ll leave her for you. I never loved her. She manipulated me.Serena stared at the screen for a long moment, her lips parting slightly in disbelief. Jake. Of all the people.It had been nearly two years since their relationship imploded. The betrayal still echoed in her mind, not because she still loved him—but because it had shattered her ability to trust. And now, here he was, crawling back like nothing had changed.Before she co
Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle Thin line
Ben straightened his tie, the smirk slowly fading into something more unreadable as his assistant, Michael, stepped into the office, a curious look etched across his face. Michael was used to Ben’s many moods, his ruthless strategies, and his cold indifference—but today, there was something different. Something darker."I just saw Miss Stacy on her way out," Michael said, shutting the door behind him. "She didn’t look happy at all."Ben let out a low, humorless chuckle, walking over to the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the city. “Leave her. I’ll deal with her properly soon.”Michael arched a brow, folding his arms. “Deal with her? That sounds personal.”Ben’s fingers tightened into a fist for a brief moment before relaxing again. He didn’t turn around. “She dared to take what belongs to my wife,” he said, his voice calm, but laced with venom. “So I just showed her what I’m made of.”That caught Michael off guard. He stepped closer, studying Ben’s profile carefully. “Your wif

Ben’s fingers moved with an agonizing slowness, teasing Stacy to the very edge of control, but never giving her what she truly craved. His touch was fire against her skin, his breath a cruel whisper of heat against her neck. She arched against him, letting out a frustrated sigh as he trailed his fingertips down her arms, barely touching but igniting every nerve in her body.“Patience, sweetheart,” he murmured, his voice laced with dark amusement.Stacy gritted her teeth, her nails digging into the desk beneath her. “Ben…”“Hmm?” His tone was infuriatingly composed, as if he wasn’t the one who had her trembling, as if he wasn’t enjoying the power he held over her.She tilted her head, trying to regain control, but Ben was quicker—his hand slipping beneath her chin, forcing her to look at him. His eyes were dark, unreadable.“You want me to give in, don’t you?” he murmured.Stacy swallowed hard, refusing to answer.Ben chuckled. “I can feel it, you know. The way your body reacts to me.
