EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Are we talking about the same thing?
Jessie’s POVAgainst my better judgement, I pushed my way through the packed restaurant towards Ryan seated by the window.He looked like his usual self— handsome not in the manly way like Gavin, but rather just cute, with fanny ears, wide eyes and porcelain clear face.As I sank into the seat opposite him, I could see all the ways Gavin was more handsome, and I instantly wondered why I loved him so deeply in the past.“I didn’t think you’d actually come out,” he scoffed.This jerk. I cussed under my breath. “It’s about my husband, why not?”Ryan shifted in his chair, taken aback by my quick response but quickly composed himself.“Your husband? Don’t brag so much about that. Have you ever stopped to think why someone as wealthy as Gavin would want anything to do with you? Pathetic you?”I held my forehead, rubbing my temples gently. It was a mistake coming here, and I realized it when I sat down.Without further words, I snatched my purse from the table and jolted to my feet.“I knew
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Jess, you’re drooling
Jess’s PoVMy eyes widened in surprise. “No!” I exclaimed in dismay, “I had a bad day, is that the only way you can console me?”“I told you, I’m a very active man.” He said nonchalantly, “How is this about you?” I interjected, “Alright,” he sighed, “Let’s talk about you; “Why did you sleep out again after I told you not to? “Why do you sleep out of your husband’s house so easily? “Why do you barely wear your ring?“Why is it so difficult for you to introduce me to your so-called friends? “Why did you meet up with Ryan after I said not to?“Should I go on?”My lips parted in awe as I watched him tower over me, hands buried in pockets as he spoke.“I’m awaiting your responses, Mrs. Pierre!”“I didn’t mean to sleep out,” I admitted, “I discovered something devastating, so I decided to have a drink, and ended up having too many.”“Did you sleep with him?”“What?!” I exclaimed, “Why would you ask such…?”“It’s a valid question.” He cut me off coldly.“You got drunk and fucked me fi
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Out of character
Jessie’s POVI swiped a hand over my face, the heat of the moment burning my cheeks. The smirk on Gavin’s face widened as he waltzed past me, making me blush even more.“Go have your bath and come out for dinner.” He said.That darn jerk. I muttered silently.In the bathroom, my mind kept spinning on the same moment— the kiss at the door. Why did he stop so abruptly? Is it me? Am I undesirable? “Jess!” I cautioned myself, “This is Gavin Pierre, pull yourself together!”Besides, it was a contract marriage, one that didn’t need consummation, but damn my body for betraying me like that- we wanted two different things. As I walked through the hallway back to him, I was mesmerized by the scenery before me. The dining table was set ever so beautifully, with two plates of salad and steak served in fine wares. A candle light lit in the middle of the table, with soft music playing in the background.The smile came involuntarily.“I know you’re impressed but I’m starving.” He said indiffe
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Let’s get divorced!
Gavin’s POV“I’ve been in love with you for so long, I can’t even remember when it all began. But, if you asked me, I’d say that night… five years ago.”“I don’t believe it!” She exclaimed, “You must think I am quite easy.”“Easy? It took me five years to do this.”“No, Gavin, you hated me for five years because I am the reason Candace broke up with you, and humiliated you on TV, I…”“It wasn’t you,” I confessed, it felt good to say it but my relief was short lived.Her voice came breaking through my thoughts. “What?” She whispered, her voice feeble.“When she caught us in bed that morning," I explained, "I couldn’t have apologized to her. I could have begged her, but I didn’t because I didn’t feel anything for her. I didn’t love Candace, Jess. From the moment you walked into the club that night and our eyes met, I was struck by you.”Over the candle light, I saw her face. She seemed to be warring with the enormity of my confession. She held my gaze, staring like she couldn’t believe
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Gavin damn Pierre
Jessie's POV"Try and stop me!" I said, rather coldly, turning the door knob, as I slammed the door behind me. I couldn't bear another second of his lies.For a moment there, I believed Gavin could be a different person. I thought I was wrong about him, I wanted to be wrong about him. But the rumors about him were true. Gavin Pierre- the ruthless and cold billionaire of Darian Town. He had whatsoever he wanted, or more accurately, he took whatsoever he wanted.And now he wanted me.As I stormed through the lonely woods, my heart clenched even harder with pain. "You won't have me," I breathed, "You won't." THE NEXT DAYI blinked my eyes open to a shabby ceiling. The cheap motel I spent the night in looked even worse in the day light. My phone buzzed its usual morning alarm-- it was time for mom to take her medication.I didn't need to worry about that, Sarah was taking great care of her. However, my heart tightened as I thought about breaking the news to her. She was so happy
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE The Devil of Darion Town
Gavin's POVI love her, I do. But...I lied to her. I lied about our past. It wasn't my intention, but it made her miserable. She had every right to be upset. However, I lied to her to protect her. It was to protect her from Candace and the society as a whole. Candace was a vicious woman with access to both political power and social influence. She could've easily turned Jessie into the "slut-who-snatched-her-husband"If I ever made my true feelings known from the first day, it was her life that would've been ruined on TV, not mine.But I held back, for five years, I held back my true feelings to keep her safe. I watched her from a distance to make sure I kept Candace away from her.If only she could hear me out. If only she could hear my reason.For her sake, I would be the devil. For her sake, I'd take on my old self."You, Jess will see why I'm called the Devil of Darion town." My gaze turned vicious as I spoke, Jess paled, holding her breath. "What exactly do you mean by th
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Challenge accepted
Jessie’s POVI reconsidered my options the moment Gavin walked out of the room. He may have tricked me but he was a better option than most. He may have wronged me but I would be ungrateful if I didn’t acknowledge everything he did for me and my mom. Maybe, that was his way of apologizing. I don’t know. But from now on, my heart was set on paying back everyone who wronged me— Beginning with my father. He is the reason why my life fell apart in the first place.Gavin was right about one thing— by the contract, I was legally bound to him for three years. So my time starts now and my goals were set out—Three years from now, I must be a name in Darion Town. Three years from now, I must have recovered my family’s lost reputation. I didn’t know how I was going to do that, but working in Yates Stock Exchange was an added advantage, and having Gavin on my side was a plus. I took a deep breath and walked out of the room, bracing myself for the false excitement of my wedding.I never ex
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Officially Jessie Gavin Pierre
Jessie’s POVFor some wives, the statement would have been swoon-worthy. To some others, it would’ve made them blush. But I was a different breed now. My life was about to take a different course. So I looked my husband in the eye, and rejected his offer, my gaze filled with determination as I walked away.“How can you be so sure?” Gavin called out as I reached the door. “You’re getting ahead of yourself, Gavin Pierre. You just got me a ring.”That was all I said. That was all I needed to say. Today, my todo list was the only thing I would pay attention to. And the first thing on that list was to buy a house. I didn’t need anyone to tell me what to do anymore.“Jessie Pierre has taken the driving wheel of her life.” I muttered to myself as if the words in itself was to reaffirm my plans.The day progressed quickly, one minute on another, and the sun began to set. I glanced at my reflection on the mirror. A different person stood staring at me. Where I looked shabby and unkempt

EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Payroll
While Jessie gripped the bedsheets, biting into her pillow to keep her sobs from reaching her mom, Gavin was laying watch on his phone. As usual, Viktor was an excellent executor, the news had blown up as he expected.He had set the internet ablaze for the third time this year, not that he enjoyed being on the news but some things cannot be avoided especially if the public made it a point to be interested in your life.On the Sunday morning when the news had blown up, Gavin stood a few feet from his laptop on the table with a cup of black coffee in hand, his gaze unwavering on the screen.With each passing second, he watched the article explode, stirring the internet awake.On the left hand side, his phone was buzzing with calls and messages too many to reply, not that he was interested in any of them. Franklyn barged into the room, the disapproval in his expression met with Gavin's darkened eyes, and for a moment none of them spoke to the other. Tensed silence settled over the roo
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Bait
Chapter 75Gavin leaned against the kitchen counter, staring blankly at the black coffee in front of him. It was his only food for the last few days. Black coffee to keep awake, hot whiskey to keep his mind from Jessie. The closer he came to finding Remi Martin’s associate, the more tricky the case became. The events of the late fee days replayed in his mind, a relentless loop of anger and frustration. After waiting for five days (which seemed like forever to him) Gavin came up with an idea. If someone was really out to get his wife, then he had to fish him out, and what better was there to bait a fish than to use the very thing the fish wanted.What he wasn’t aware of was how deeply hurt he had made the bait. What he didn’t know was how devastated he had left the bait.The door creaked open and Franklyn walked in, his face almost scrunched up in tears. Gavin paused, observing his demeanor. “What happened?”“That was unnecessary!” Franklyn yelled, “Why do we have to do it this w
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Love lost
Gavin arrived his safe house at mid day. The house was filled with cobwebs mirroring how long it had been since he last stepped foot there. For a brief moment, he had thought his life had become stable, how wrong he was.He dropped his last luggage in the one room apartment and slumped into the dusty couch. For some reason, his head was about to explode from thinking about Jessie. He knew that leaving her behind was a risky, reckless decision, but it was for the best. Or so he wanted to believe. He thought that clinging onto Jessie was going to expose her to more danger, but if he quickly discarded her, he figured, no, hoped— he hoped that if he discarded her, they would ask him for something else. Never in his life had he ever attacked a problem without waiting it out for a few days. So his first plan here was to wait… but other than that, he came here to quietly investigate which of Remi Martin’s associates wanted his wife.And so, work began.The week passed by in such a blur
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Maybe it was retribution, maybe it wasn’t
Jessie stood outside the gate of her mother’s house (well, technically her house because she bought it.) She never thought she’d see the day when going home felt so difficult. She in fact bought this house because she was so eager to leave Gavin. Funny how life can deceive us.A sad smile crossed her face as she thought about that day, not too long ago. Falling for Gavin had happened so suddenly, in a way she never expected. Maybe she had always loved him, or maybe it wasn’t love. Maybe it was pity, maybe it was guilt. Whatever it was, she always found herself wondering how he was doing. Whenever his name popped up in the news, she always found herself rooting for him. Maybe it was retribution. Maybe it wasn’t. But now that they had confirmed their feelings for each other, was that what he expected of her? To stand by and watch him suffer from a distance. Gavin had once mentioned that he fancied her from their first night together, but didn’t ever act on it to protect her from
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE His first panic attack
Gavin had faced many oppositions in his life and every time he conquered. One time he was cursed with a hateful accountant, and that year his finances were in shambles, still he didn’t fall. The other time, he had to navigate a hostile takeover attempt by a rival company. Everyone told him he would lose it all— his business, his wealth. Even Aunt Meryl out of empathy, started cleaning his old room in the family house. Yet, despite the odds, Gavin came out successful. Despite knowing all these, despite being the same Gavin who went all in, and came out victorious. This time felt different. Like he wouldn’t survive it this time.In moments like this, normal people had the encouraging words of a friend or loved one ringing in their minds. But what did Gavin have? What played in his mind? The cruel voice of Candace Remington, telling him: “The Devil of Darion Town has something to protect, which also means he has something to lose… something that can be taken.”Painfully, she was
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Tragic ending
Chapter 71Gavin clenched his fist so tight his fingers dig into his palms. He was one breath away from punching this damn Don Corleone wannabe in the face. How dare he? But something held him back— it wasn’t fear. It was actually discipline. Jessie had once told him that violence never solved anything. Even if he was boiling inside, Gavin released a deep breath, his eyes spoke volumes but he held back. “Who is this your good friend?” He asked, his voice hoarse.“I can’t say,” Remi Martin replied, “But I can assure you, your wife will be safe.”The more Gavin tried to understand this, the harder it was for him. Was this man suggesting that he gave out his wife to service another man for the night? Is that what he was insinuating?“Unfortunately,” he said barely restraining him himself, “I don’t share, Remi.“ Remi Martin smiled a sly smile, nodding his head in agreement. “No man wants to share his wife, Mr. Pierre, I agree. I’ll go talk to my friend one more time. Like I told yo
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE My god friend
Chapter 70Gavin’s phone rang about a thousand times that morning. There were calls coming from left and right. Franklyn must have called a hundred times. Yet there was no answer. He was cuddled up in bed on a Monday morning, enjoying the close warmth of his wife.Jessie woke up first, feeling the sun rays warm up her face. She blinked her eyes open, her lips curved into a small smile as she took in her husband’s breath. Gavin woke up at the same time, the sun rays sting his eyes, but it was nothing compared to what he was going to feel later in the day. “Morning baby,” he mumbled, pulling Jessie closer. Meanwhile, pacing the gates of his company were his staffs, including Franklyn. “Oh for fuck sakes, man!” He cried, frustrated by how many times he had to call one person. Finally, after what felt like an eternity. Gavin finally came to the phone, his voice a sharp contrast to the chaos in his company.“You can’t possibly still be in bed with what’s going on man!” Franklyn’
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Deeply in love
Chapter 69“Oh god, oh god, oh god!” Jessie exclaimed, exasperated. That wasn’t how she wanted this play out. That wasn’t how it played in her mind. When she retorted, “I can’t be pregnant! We’re not really married…”Instead of going to see a doctor. “For what?!” She fumed.She was expecting him to insist on children, on marrying her.Jessie paused, “Was I a bit too much with the drama?” She slumped to the bed, holding her head in her hand. After a long moment of staring at the ceiling, Jessie let out a deep sigh and pushed herself off the bed. She felt silly now, having built up the situation in her head only for it to backfire. It was just like Gavin to throw her off balance but really, he had led her on into thinking he wanted children. She went to the bathroom and freshened up, splashing cold water on her face to clear her thoughts. Then she took some time to wash her body. She felt all kinds of sore down there. Gavin had wrecked her yet she smiled to herself, wanting not
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE What if I did?
Chapter 68It was impossible, right? That his condition could be contagious. This nasty side of Jessie. He loved it, yet it scared him. But his silence had lasted for too long. His thoughts were written on his face, replacing the satisfaction that should have been there in stead. “You… what’s wrong?” She asked, affected by his face. Gavin snapped off his thoughts, forcing a smile. “I loved it,” he said, sounding as casual as he could mutter. Jessie’s smile returned. “My turn?” She beamed, half-asking, half-expecting. Gavin scoffed, “Your turn?”“Sure,” he said, “If that’s what you want.”Jessie’s eyes sparkled, glinting with both anticipation and excitement for what was to come. Gavin grabbed her by the neck pulling her closer. He kissed her, tasting the after taste of his cum in her mouth. His kiss lingered, her lips were wet and soft, he bit it and she gasped. Sliding in his tongue, he dominated her mouth with his kiss. His hand found her breast, fondling and caressing
