Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 242: One step closer
The question hung in the air, thick and heavy. Ivy’s breath hitched as Nadia’s words landed like a direct blow. The anger that had fueled her outburst at the cemetery now mingled with a chilling dread. She looked at Nadia, really looked at her, seeing the raw grief and desperate need for answers reflected in her tear-filled eyes. This wasn't just about her own loss anymore; it was about Nadia's too. "I…" Ivy started, but her voice seemed lost. She wanted to deny it, to protect Nadia from the harsh reality, but the lie wouldn't come. How would she even explain that? She had let her anger take over, and now she had Nadia hearing her accusations. "Answer me. Is it true?" Nadia pressed firmly, her voice trembling... Ivy froze, her eyes wandering over Nadia's face. Her anger was long gone, now replaced by uncertainty. Should she tell her? But there was no proof yet, and she didn't want Nadia to get involved. "Ivy, answer me. 'Cause it seems like an accident to me. Why would you acc

*We need to talk.* Ivy's eyes narrowed as she stared at the text message on her phone. The number was unknown, but the tone was unmistakable—Steve. What could he possibly want now? Was this a trap? A way to silence her? Like he didn’t with Judy? "Ivy." Zack's voice cut through the tense silence, a low rumble that startled her. He leaned against the doorframe, the terrycloth of his robe still damp from his shower. "You okay? You've been staring at your phone like it's about to explode." She quickly locked her phone, the screen going black, hiding the message like a guilty secret. "Yeah, just…spam," she forced a weak smile, but she knew it didn't reach her eyes. Zack's gaze lingered on her. "Right. Spam that makes you look like you've seen a ghost." He pushed himself off the doorframe and climbed into bed. She sighed, passing her phone over to Zack. "From…?" he asked. "Who do you think it is? Steve, of course." Ivy replied, her eyes drifting off into the distance. Zac

Steve's eyes widened in disbelief as police officers swarmed the room. The cold steel of the handcuffs snapped around his wrists as the police officer recited their usual Miranda rights. "This is a setup!" he snarled. "You have no proof!" His gaze darting between the officers, Finn, and Ivy, but the fear in his eyes betrayed his bravado. "Oh, we have plenty," Finn replied, his voice firm. "You'll see them in court." "Y-you... you can't do this!" he shouted, but his voice lacked its usual authority. The realization that his carefully constructed world was crumbling around him was evident in his eyes as he looked at Ivy. Meanwhile, Ivy could no longer conceal the relieved smile on her face. "You're right about one thing, Steve. 'The past is the past. We can't change what's already happened. But..." she stepped closer, a triumphant gleam in her eyes. "You'll get the repercussions of what you've done.'" Steve's face contorted with rage as the officers moved him out of the shop.

The pain at first was just a small, manageable dull ache, but it rapidly intensified into a full-blown pain, relentless, that made Ivy scream the whole drive to the hospital. Zack could do nothing but sigh in frustration, occasionally telling her it was going to be okay, she should hold on, but it got to the point that Ivy could no longer stand the sound of his voice. Any sound was like a jagged shard of glass scraping against her raw nerves. Even the leather seat of the limo could no longer contain her.The moment the car screeched to a halt in the hospital's emergency bay, Ivy clawed at the door handle, desperate for escape.Zack, his face a mask of fear and urgency, was right behind her, shouting for help the moment they breached the threshold. Nurses and orderlies, alerted by Zack's frantic cries and Ivy's obvious distress, swarmed forward. Before Zack could even explain, they were already whisking Ivy away. He could only watch helplessly as they disappeared behind the swinging d

THREE MONTHS LATER"The defendant, Steve Hale, is hereby convicted of the crimes of murder in the first degree, tampering with evidence, and felony fraud for staging his own death and attempting to evade justice."The gavel struck with a final, resounding *thwack*. "Court dismissed."Ivy's eyes gleamed as she got up from her seat. The taste of triumph was too sweet not to gloat. She could feel Steve's eyes burning into hers, but it was clear as crystal—he was utterly powerless now.Zack hugged her from the side and murmured into her ear, "Let's get you home; you must be tired."Ivy nodded, smiling wearily. She had insisted on coming to court, despite still recovering, just to witness Steve's downfall.Zack wrapped a supportive arm around her waist, helping her navigate the crowded courtroom. "You did it, Ivy," he whispered, his voice filled with pride. "You can finally rest.""I couldn't agree more," she said, but inwardly hoping she could forget."Ivy." ...."Ivy."A voice cut throug

The Villa buzzed with an energy that made Zack's teeth ache. There was a cacophony of chatter and laughter filled the air. It was, as Zack had predicted, a full-blown celebration, bordering on a royal decree. But he never predicted it would be celebrated in his own villa. It was all too much, and worst of all, Ivy seemed to be okay with all of this, despite knowing his dislike for crowds. Which side was she on—his or Roy's?"Happy Birthday, my boy!" Roy boomed as he enveloped Zack in a bear hug. "You look as thrilled as a condemned man!"Zack managed a strained smile. "Just... overwhelmed, old man. You didn't have to go to all this trouble.""Nonsense!" Roy waved a dismissive hand. "A man only turns another year older once a year. It’s a momentous occasion."Ivy, holding Lucas, approached, a playful glint in her eyes. "He's just being modest, Roy. He secretly loves all the attention."Zack shot her a mock glare. "I do not."Lucas gurgled, seemingly agreeing with Ivy, and reached out

FEW MINUTES EARLIER "Albert." "Albert!" Henry followed after Albert, who was rushing to his car. "Albert, reacting impulsively won't solve anything." Albert finally stopped and turned around, his eyes blazed with anger. "You see what he's done, Henry? He's given Zack the one thing I've always wanted." Henry placed a restraining hand on Albert's shoulder. "I know, Albert. But we need to find a way to resolve this peacefully." Albert shook off Henry's hand. "I'm disappointed you're not supporting me on this. Which side are you on—" "Zack isn't the problem here... it's the old man." Henry took a deep breath and tried to reason with Albert. "I'm not taking anyone's side, Albert. I just want you to calm down. Maybe there's a way we can settle this... make a deal with Zack..." "I'm not making a deal with Zack over my birthright!" Albert's voice rose, but he quickly took a deep breath, replacing his anger with calculated determination. "I'll resolve it, all right, and

"Shhh, baby, it's okay," Ivy murmured, pacing back and forth in the room with the crying Lucas in her arms. "Mommy's here." The nanny, Maria, sat on the couch, watching them with concern, occasionally standing up and sitting back down on the couch in frustration. Lucas's cries only intensified, his small body writhing in discomfort. He was unusually fussy, refusing his bottle and arching his back in distress. Ivy had tried everything – changing his diaper, offering him a pacifier, singing lullabies – but nothing seemed to make him calm down. Maria got up and approached Ivy. "Let me try, Mrs. Anderson," But Ivy shook her head. "No, I've got him. I just need to... figure out what's wrong." She continued to pace, trying to rock Lucas to sleep. "What's wrong, my little one?" she whispered, her heart throbbing slightly. Lucas usually didn't cry this way for this long. She glanced at the clock, wondering if she should call Zack and tell him about Lucas's behavior. But it would b

Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 257: The beauty of a new life and living in the present
Zack stared at his tablet for what felt like forever, hesitant. He was finally going to see the one who was behind his accident. But now the weight of the moment pressed down on him. He knew this call could change everything, reveal a face he might recognize, or a stranger he would despise. He wasn't sure he was ready for either.Ivy was by his side, squeezing his arm tightly and encouraging him to do it. "Come on, Finn made this possible for you, so... let’s get it over with," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and nudging him to tap on the screen."Alright," he said finally, but as Ivy attempted to speak, a loud cry came out from the room."Lucas again," she growled and got up, placing a soft kiss on Zack's cheek. "Be right back."With that, she left, and Zack decided to get it over with as Ivy had said. He tapped on the screen, and there just what he had feared stared right back at him.Those familiar emerald eyes..."Chris. So it was really you," Zack whispered, disbelief
Married To My Ex Billionaire Uncle Chapter 256: Make it happen
THE NEXT MORNING, Ivy and Zack made their way downstairs, luggage in tow, with Lucas giggling in his stroller. Lucas was babbling excitedly, clearly sensing the adventure ahead, and Ivy couldn't help but smile at her little boy's enthusiasm. Although she was still a bit hesitant about leaving, Zack's and Lucas's enthusiasm was infectious.But she had to agree a vacation would benefit them all.Just as they were about to head out the door, Xavier, their butler, rushed in, looking flustered."Wait, please!" Xavier exclaimed. "We have a visitor."Ivy's eyes narrowed, her smile faltering. "Who is it?"Xavier hesitated before responding. "It's... your..." Before he could finish, a voice cut in."Zack has woken up all this time, and you didn't bother informing us," Henry walked in, the old man right beside him.The moment he set eyes on Zack, he went straight to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay, son..."Zack, caught off guard, returned the hug, a mix of surprise and conf

"Ivy, remember when I took Roy outside?" Zack said, and Ivy frowned. "Yes, of course." "I thought... I thought I saw Chris. Briefly. Just a glimpse." Ivy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Chris? But... he hasn't called since that day..." "Exactly," Zack said, his brow furrowed. "But what if... what if... I don't know...?" Ivy shook her head, dismissing the idea. "Zack, that's impossible. Didn't you say he was an imposter?" "I'm starting to doubt that 'imposter' theory," Zack said. "It's too convenient the way he operates in the shadows... it's shady." Ivy's eyes narrowed, having a hard time processing everything. If he wasn't an imposter, then why hadn't he reunited with Zack? Why was he hiding? "What if... he has a vendetta? Against you?" Ivy sprang from the bed, her head filled with fear gnawing at her. She knew what it felt like to be wanted dead, and now Zack, this childhood friend... if it's true, then it's even worse than she imagined. "Maybe we should tell Finn every

"Lucas, I'm home!" Zack announced as he stepped into the familiar warmth of their living room. Ivy smiled and quickly got beside him. "Careful, Zack," she cautioned, her hand lightly touching his arm. "Remember, you're still recovering." "Now you want me to be treated like a fragile piece of glass, huh?" Zack said with his usual smirk, and Ivy couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yeah, that's what you are right now." Zack smirked, closing the short distance between them. "Is that so?" Ivy stepped back, a blush creeping into her cheeks. "Zack, this isn't the right place to... you know, do your usual thing..." She then said with gritted teeth, "Maria and Lucas are coming." Zack turned to find Maria smiling his way. She bowed slightly and then placed Lucas on the ground. "There he is," Zack said, his voice softening as he knelt down. He extended his arms, a wide, welcoming smile on his face. "Come here, buddy. Daddy's home." Lucas hesitated, his gaze shifting between Zack and

"Zack, tomorrow's a big day. Lucas is hitting nine months," Ivy said, her voice soft as she gently ran her hands over Zack's. "Can you believe it? Nine months already?"She tried hard to grin, but what came out was a pathetic smile. "I... started him on complementary foods, you know. He seems to really like mashed sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon. He makes the funniest face when he tastes something new, but sweet potatoes are definitely his favorite."Ivy chuckled, despite knowing that Zack couldn't hear her. The sound was more for her own benefit, a way to release some of the tension and sadness that had been building up inside.But as she looked at Zack's still face, her expression shifted. Her smile faltered, and her eyes welled up with tears.Ivy's sigh turned into a sob, and she buried her face in her hands, letting the tears flow.She had hoped Zack would wake up before their son turned seven months, but now he was nine months, still trapped in this limbo.He didn't get to

SIX MONTHS LATERIvy's hands trembled as she held the phone, Bryan's voice sounding at the other end."Ma'am, we found him last night," Bryan said, his tone gentle but firm. "The driver who hit Zack. We've got a positive ID."Ivy's breath caught in her throat. Six months of waiting, wondering, and fighting for answers. Finally, she was going to get some justice."Who is it?" Ivy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.There was a pause before Bryan responded, "Marcus Thompson. The police are bringing him in for questioning. They're going to push him hard to see if he'll talk."Ivy's grip on the phone tightened. "Will he talk?""There's a good chance he might," Bryan said. "Thompson's got a history of criminal activity. He's been in and out of jail for various offenses. If the police can leverage that, he might be willing to cooperate."Ivy's mind was racing. "How soon can they get him to talk?" She wanted to wipe that smug look off Albert's face.Bryan hesitated before responding, "W

Ivy's car halted in front of the Anderson mansion. It was the early hours of the morning, and Ivy decided to seize this opportunity to get answers.She slammed the door behind her, took a deep breath, and stepped into the mansion. She didn't bother to knock before entering.A sliver of light spilled out from the lounge, the air thick with the smell of stale liquor."Albert!" Ivy yelled, scanning the whole place. "Albert, where are you?"Footsteps sounded, and Henry appeared coming down the stairs, draped in a robe and his hair a bit messy."It's too early to yell," he said, but as his eyes landed on Ivy, a frown settled on his face."What are you doing here?""Where is Albert?" Ivy asked, and Henry's brow deepened."Ivy, why are you here? Shouldn't you be sitting with Zack at the hospital?""Where is Albert?" Ivy's expression turned serious, the one that tells you, "I'm losing my patience."Henry's eyes lingered on her for a moment before finally pointing to a corner."Turn left."Wit

"I never should have let you leave." Ivy whimpered, squeezing Zack's hand, as if trying to coax life back into his fingers. "I should have forced you to eat breakfast... maybe... maybe..."She choked on tears trickling down her cheek... "maybe you would have escaped it..." she sniffled, trying to hold back her tears, but it was no use. The dam broke, and she let out a heart-wrenching sob, her body shaking uncontrollably."How long are you going to stay like this, huh? How long before you wake up..." she mumbled. "It's only been a few hours, and I can't keep seeing you like this..."He had always been the strong one, the rock that held her together when she broke down. But now he was the one who was broken, and she was left to pick up the pieces. All she could do was hope he would wake up sooner.Ivy's sobs slowly subsided as she wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.Her chest tightened, but she pushed through, squeezing his arm with all the strength she could muster."Please w
