HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 137: Just Leave
TYSHAOf all the people who could witness my struggle in the middle of the road, it had to be Rue. Great! Just great!It was one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong. Aiden had a basketball game in our neighborhood league, and we were at the gym getting ready when Addison accidentally spilled her chocolate drink all over her brother's jersey. So, I had to rush back home to grab Aiden's spare jersey.As if that wasn't enough, my car decided to break down just when I was in a hurry to get back to the gym. I hesitated to accept Rue's offer of help for several reasons. First, Charles would undoubtedly be upset with me. Second, my parents were also at the gym, there to support Aiden in his game. The list of concerns went on and on.As Rue drove me to the neighborhood gymnasium, an awkward silence settled between us. With no other options left, I decided to just go for it."Thank you, by the way," I began, breaking the silence. "About the flowers. I knew they were from you."Rue
HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 138: Can't Even Say
TYSHA Charles and I both watched as Rue's car drove away. After that, I met Charles' gaze. Seeing his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and anger pained me too. I knew I had deeply wounded him, and the guilt weighed heavily on me. “We need to talk. Privately,” Charles stated as he angrily grabbed my pulse and forcefully dragged me inside his car. His grip was so tight that I felt like my bone was crushing. I wasn't even exaggerating that. My face crumpled because of the pain I felt from his grip but I said nothing and just let him drag me. “Get in!” he demanded as he opened the door of the passenger seat for me. I followed him, afraid to push his buttons even further. After that, he turned around to go in the driver's seat before he started to fire me with his questions. "Why were you with him? Huh?!" Charles's voice echoed in the confined space of the car. His face turned red with anger, sending shivers down my spine. I tried to remain calm, knowing I was at fault.
HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 139: Lie Better
TYSHA"Congrats again to our basketball player," I chirped to Aiden as we dropped off my family at my parents’ house. Thank God things were looking up. Despite Aiden missing his team's first game, they still snagged the win, making up for all the earlier drama.After the victory, we decided to have a little celebration and grabbed lunch outside. Charles, though, was as quiet as a church mouse. He wasn't showing any signs of lingering anger, but he sure wasn't giving off any forgiveness vibes either. It felt like he was putting on a show for my family and the kids. I tried to chat him up a few times, but he stayed as cold as a polar bear's toe.Still, I had to hand it to him. He stuck around just like he promised, and that counted for something."Thanks, Mommy," Aiden uttered as he planted a kiss on my cheek. That simple gesture made me smile, warming my heart. Among the twins, Aiden was usually the less affectionate one, so every time he initiated a kiss, it felt like a little victory
HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 140: Who Did That To You?
TYSHA Never have I ever imagined Charles could do such a thing to me. After he left, I stayed on the floor of my living room, still processing what he just did to me. I should have taken his attempt to hit me in his car as a hint that he could do more horrible things like that. The memories of what happened with him were like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I trusted him and yet he betrayed me in the most horrific way possible. Yes, I had betrayed him too but was that enough reason to do this to me? I could still feel his hands on me, rough and forceful, ignoring my pleas for him to stop. The fear that ate my whole system at that moment, the feeling of helplessness as I realized what he was trying to do... it was all still so vivid, like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. And then the assault that followed, the violence and aggression that he showed when I tried to fight back. How could someone I thought I knew so well, someone I care
HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 141: Cover Up
RUEI used to take advantage of my expertise in not giving a fuck. But ever since I loved someone dearly, I couldn't help but care about things—especially when it's about Tysha. The moment I found her, I found my weakness as well. The pain I felt when the woman I loved dearly ordered me to leave was unbearable. It felt like my heart shattered into a million pieces, yet I had to keep up the facade of indifference.I totally understood her mother's hate for me. Her treatment was totally okay with me. But what I couldn't stomach was Charles.Growing up in wealth, envy was a foreign concept to me. My family provided everything I needed, and I was accustomed to getting what I wanted. However, outside the gymnasium, when Tysha demanded I leave simply because Charles didn't want me there, I felt envy creeping in.Charles had something I wanted so badly. God, I wanted to be in his position so damn bad!A cocktail of emotions—hate, envy, and embarrassment—raged within me, but now, fury consu
HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 142: Mr. Billionaire As An Investor?
TYSHA Why does Madeline need to talk to Rue too? Madeline's decision to involve him in our conversation puzzled me. I couldn't understand why she felt the need to include him in important matters she wanted to discuss with me. But, yeah, it seemed I had no choice in the matter. Despite my desire for Rue to stay away and not have the opportunity to pester me about my cuts and bruises, we both followed Madeline when she led us to her office. The atmosphere in Madeline's office was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall breaking the silence. She took her seat behind her desk and nodded at both Rue and me, gesturing for us to sit. “Have a seat, both of you,” she offered as she settled into her swivel chair. Rue and I took our places in the chairs in front of her desk. Before she got straight to the point, she noticed the band-aid on my forehead. Gosh! It was such a bad idea to put one on; it made my injury painfully obvious. “What happened to your forehead, Tysha?
HIRED BY MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 143: In One Condition
TYSHA What the fucking hell?!I never expected Rue to refuse Madeline's proposal. After she poured her heart out to us, expressing how important Mason Academy was to her, the audacity of that arrogant billionaire to turn down her plea was beyond belief.Sure, he wasn't obligated to agree right away, but come on! Basic human decency, anyone? Especially considering his vast wealth, investing a few million in a school wouldn't dent his pocket.As Rue's callous response hung in the air, I couldn't help but feel deeply sorry for Madeline. She had tried her best, but it seemed she was up against a heartless billionaire. The embarrassment and pain etched on her face after Rue's refusal were unbearable to witness.The pain in her eyes was so palpable that it infected me too.After Rue and I left her office, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt. So, I knew I had to do my part to help.I knew Madeline included me in her attempt to persuade Rue because she likely suspected that Rue and I w

TYSHAAm I ready to go back in Isla Llevaste? The place where my relationship with Rue first advanced?Just the thought of it gave me butterflies in my stomach. It's where Rue and I took that big step forward in our relationship. But back then, things between us were... complicated.Reality had a funny way of creeping in, didn't it? Rue and I had hit some rough patches lately. We had grown apart, lost in our own doubts and insecurities. Going back to Isla Llevaste would definitely have felt like revisiting a chapter of my life that I wasn't sure I was ready to confront.Still, after Charles showed me his true colors and hurt me last time, I started to reconsider Rue as the better guy in my life. There was a part of me that yearned for a sense of possibility and hope that in Isla Llevaste, Rue and I could be reminded of what brought us together in the first place. Maybe it was naive, but I couldn't help but wonder if returning to that place might reignite the spark between us.Then aga
