Married To My Ex-Fiance's Billionaire Uncle Chapter 23
(Emily’s POV).“You’re home!” I greeted him with a smile.He walked in with a spring in his step, his suit neatly pressed, his face free of the usual signs of stress that I had seen after a long day. I wondered what had happened to get him so excited.I followed him into the bedroom, where he began to change his suit. As he took off his tie and threw it on the chair, I couldn't help but ask, “You look great. Are you sure you're not tired?”Mike threw me a smile bright enough to light up the room.“I’m not tired at all,” he said, while putting on more comfortable clothes. “In fact, all my tiredness seems to disappear as soon as I see you.”I felt my cheeks warm up at his words, and I hurriedly tried to offer him some food.“Well, if you're hungry, I can cook something for you.”He shook his head with a chuckle. “I appreciate the offer, but I think we can go out for dinner instead. I don’t want you to get tired or do too much activity. Didn’t I tell you that from the beginning, Emily?”

(Emily’s POV).“Of course,” he had said softly. “We will focus on getting your company back on track first. I wanted you to be completely at ease with everything before we made any major decisions.”I smiled at his understanding. Then I briefly discussed him in the days before he had loved me. “You know, the current you look more fun,” I had said.“Do you like the person I am now?”“Actually, both. But I'm glad you ended up loving me.”He then grabbed my chin and said, “Who wouldn’t love you if you were like this? So submissive and so beautiful?”I had rolled my eyes and we had gone back to enjoying the late dinner. At one point, he had asked, “Is there any best plan you want to tell me about?”“I think this is the best way forward,” I replied. “Restoring my company is very important, but knowing that we have a future we can look forward to makes everything feel more manageable. I want to make sure everything stabilizes before we take the next step.”Mike had nodded, his eyes reflecti

(Emily’s POV).“Are you ready for the first time to check up on your pregnancy?” Asked Mike when we were in the car.I nodded my head with a smile. I was a little nervous because this was also my first time being pregnant when I aborted my first pregnancy as soon as I found out I was pregnant with Ben.I sighed as I remembered that painful moment. I had Mike by my side, who was now my husband and treated me so well.His car started to leave my house and headed towards the hospital where his friend worked.It was like this, having someone who had everything, even a friend who worked as an obstetrician. It felt like since being with him, I had never lacked anything.When we arrived at the hospital, Mike held my hand and never let go. Sometimes, I was afraid that someone who knew me saw us. I wasn’t ready for them to know about my current relationship because it wasn’t time yet anyway.When we finally reached Adam's office, the door opened, and there he was—his friend, a friendly face wi

(Emily’s POV).“Well, let’s get the ice cream!” he said, happily.We then drove in comfortable silence for a while, with Mike's hand resting on my knee. The city lights twinkled past us, and for a moment, I felt like everything was going to be okay. The car stopped at a small ice cream shop that looked cozy and inviting, with colorful lights and a friendly atmosphere.Inside, the shop was warm and filled with the smell of waffles and different flavors of ice cream. We approached the counter, and Mike gave me an encouraging smile.“Pick a flavor you like, Love. This is your treat tonight.”I scanned the menu and chose chocolate chip mint, my favorite. Mike, who is an adventurer, chose something a little more adventurous—a combination of caramel swirl and sea salt. We paid and found a quiet corner where we could sit and chat.As we ate our ice cream, I could feel the tension in my shoulders ease. Mike's presence was comforting, and although the pain of seeing Ben was still there, it wa

(Emily’s POV).“What? Are you serious?! Is he okay?!”I stood immediately from my chair but his hand held me that time. My breath was panting and I was shocked to hear him say that.“Hey, everything is alright, Love.”He tried to calm me down but still, I couldn't imagine what my father would think after seeing him in this house.This was an unexpected moment. I also didn't think before asking him to stay over. “Just continue your breakfast, I don't want you to feel weak, okay? Everything is under my control. Trust me.”I looked at him and nodded. I knew everything that he said could be trusted. He never failed me.“But I have to see him after this, I want to see his expression,” I said.“I know. I will be right beside you.”“You don't have to.”“I have to. This is my responsibility because I married you secretly.”All I could do was obey what he said. So I tried to gulp the breakfast after chewing it while his hand was still touching me lovingly.After breakfast, he and I went to my

(Emily's POV).“We finally love each other.” Those were the words I told Linda. Her expression of surprise with her red polished lips became gaping.I nodded my head to let her know that she hadn't heard wrong. “Yes. it is true. You didn't hear wrong about that.”“But, how come?!”I smiled to myself remembering how we initially confessed to each other. Linda hadn't even heard the biggest news yet.“And I'm pregnant with his child.”I held my stomach in front of her and she was even more surprised. She heard two pieces of news at the same time, and I'm sure she didn't expect it to happen to me.I don't think anyone would have expected to have such a beautiful outcome with Mike. I never thought that I would be able to love him, even to the point of getting pregnant.I thought too, who would want to be with an old man like him? I mean, sometimes age matters, right? But I was just mesmerized by him, the charisma he showed and how handsome he was every day.“You surprised me, Emily! In on

(Emily’s POV).“Who is he?” asked Mike once we reached the warehouse. He asked his men who were handling the unknown man.They seemed hesitant to tell him and even looked at each other until Mike cleared his throat and they looked at him steadily.“Ben's cousin, sir. It's Gregor.”My eyes widened in surprise because I knew him so well. Of course, I knew Ben's cousin because we played together a lot.I covered my lips with my hand in my own shock while I was already trembling just hearing his name.It wasn't about my fear of Gregor, but my nervousness that finally one of his family had seen me and Mike together and even seemed so intimate.“You still want to come meet him?” asked Mike, looking at me. I’m sure he asked that because he knew I knew Gregor.I breathed in and out as I nodded. He was still holding my hand and leading me inside when I finally saw that Gregor had his hands and feet completely tied.Gregor's gaze became unfriendly towards me, even though he used to be so kind t

(Emily’s POV).“Do you think he won't say anything to your family, including Ben?”Once outside, I was really worried. I was afraid that when the time came for Gregor to return, he would still tell his family, especially Ben.“He doesn't dare me, Emily. More to the point, no one dares to mess with me. Trust me, you have nothing to worry about.”I sighed and wanted to believe that every time he said that I should believe him. But my anxiety outweighed everything and it made it hard for me to think realistically.Then on the way back to my house, his hand pulled mine and he rubbed it gently. “I don't want you to think too much about this when you're pregnant. I don't want you to be stressed and exhausted, Emily.”“What steps are you going to take after this? You're going to make sure first that there's no evidence left in his room, right?”Mike nodded with a sigh. I think he was a little frustrated with my anxiety, but he was good at not showing it to me.“Yeah, I'll start looking into

Married To My Ex-Fiance's Billionaire Uncle Chapter 97
(Emily’s POV).Two years had passed, and our lives felt fuller and richer than I’d ever dreamed. Christopher had grown into a bright and beautiful toddler, and every day, I watched him reach new milestones with a mix of joy and awe. His eyes sparkled with curiosity as he absorbed everything Mike and I taught him, and he surprised me constantly with the way he understood and remembered the little things. I couldn’t have imagined that I would ever feel this deeply fulfilled or so endlessly proud of the life we’d created together.This life has changed me, too. Just two years ago, I would never have thought I’d find myself married to Mike—my soul mate and, yes, someone much older than me and, admittedly, the uncle of my ex-fiancé. In the beginning, our bond had been a shocking, unexpected twist that seemed almost too good to be real. But with every shared moment, every quiet evening together and every early morning with Christopher, I felt the truth of our connection. I loved him wit
Married To My Ex-Fiance's Billionaire Uncle Chapter 96
"Daddy's home, Buddy!"The words spilled from my mouth with excitement I couldn’t contain as I stepped into the living room, only to find Mike already cradling Christopher in his arms. The sight of them together was enough to melt my heart. Christopher, so small and fragile, seemed to sense Mike’s presence the moment he walked through the door, and now his tiny hand clung to Mike’s shirt, his bright eyes wide with curiosity.Mike looked up at me, his face softened with a quiet joy that made my heart flutter. "I think he knows I’m back," he said, his voice filled with wonder.I laughed softly, setting my purse aside. "Of course he does. There’s no way he could miss you."I watched them for a moment, unable to look away. There was something so natural, so effortless, about the way Mike held Christopher. It was as if they were two halves of the same heartbeat, already so attuned to each other that even a few days apart felt too long. I didn’t want to interrupt, so I slipped into the k
Married To My Ex-Fiance's Billionaire Uncle Chapter 95
(Emily’s POV)."I miss you."The words slipped out before I could stop myself. The moment I saw Mike step through the airport gate, every ounce of restraint I’d held over the past few days just melted away. I practically threw myself into his arms, wrapping him in a hug so tight I thought I might never let go.Mike’s hands slid around my waist, pulling me even closer, and I felt his warm breath against my ear. “I missed you too, more than you know,” he murmured, his voice low and husky. There was a rough edge to his tone, a subtle hint of all the things he wasn’t saying aloud. Before I could respond, his lips were on mine, his kiss hungry, demanding, like he was making up for every moment we’d spent apart. My hands slipped up to his shoulders, fingers clinging to the fabric of his shirt as the airport, the people, everything faded around us. It was just him and me, our unspoken longing filling the space between us until it overflowed.Finally, reluctantly, we broke apart, our bre

(Emily’s POV)."Don't cry, Boy. I'm right here," I cooed softly, bouncing Christopher lightly in my arms. His tiny face was scrunched up, cheeks flushed as he let out another wail, the sound piercing in a way that tugged at my heart.I felt a pang of helplessness, a familiar ache that surfaced whenever I couldn’t seem to calm him. Normally, when Mike was here, Christopher barely fussed. I liked to think it was because he sensed the balance and warmth that Mike’s presence brought. And now, that steadiness was gone, at least for a few days. I could only imagine how strange it must feel for Christopher to have half of his usual world missing."Shh, it’s okay. I’m here. We’re going to be just fine,” I murmured, trying not to let my own frustration leak into my tone.Despite my efforts, his cries only grew louder, his little hands curling into tight fists. I could feel my patience thinning, a creeping sense of unease mingling with the exhaustion that came from trying to soothe him on my

(Emily’s POV)."Take care of yourself, Mike. Call me as soon as you land," I said softly, feeling the weight of his upcoming absence settle over me.Mike nodded, his eyes meeting mine, as he gently cradled my face in his hands. "I will. And don’t worry, you’ll hear from me as soon as I’m down." He leaned in and pressed his lips to my forehead, his kiss lingering, soft and warm. Then, his mouth found mine, and I melted into him, letting myself be consumed by the kiss. It was longer, deeper than usual, as if neither of us wanted to let go. I could feel his unspoken promise in that kiss—a reassurance that he’d come back to me, always.The sound of his assistant’s voice cut through the air, snapping us back to the present. "Boss, it’s time to take off."Mike broke the kiss with a soft sigh, resting his forehead against mine momentarily. "I love you, Emily," he said, his voice filled with a warmth that wrapped around my heart.I managed a smile, my voice trembling slightly as I replied

(Mike’s POV)."Emily, I’ll be heading out on a business trip for a week. Want to come with me?" I asked, hoping to have her by my side for those seven days. Being away from her, from us, even for just a week, felt heavier than it used to. I just hope she wanted to come to me.She gave me a soft, apologetic smile. “Since having Christopher, I feel like I should stay around the house more,” she said, her hand instinctively reaching up to rest over her heart. “He’s so young, Mike. I don’t want him to wake up without his mom around.”I nodded, suppressing the pang of disappointment. It wasn’t as if I didn’t understand. Ever since Christopher had come into our lives, everything had changed—Emily had changed, and for the better, in so many ways. She was the embodiment of patience, grace, and care, and I was a fool to ever try and pull her away from that.“That’s fair,” I said with a grin, leaning down to kiss her cheek. “But,” I added, voice soft, “just remember, let me know if you head t

(Mike’s POV).The evening came too soon, and before I knew it, Emily and I were heading to the Johnson family home for yet another one of these "family dinners." They had never been a tradition before, at least not until Emily and I got married. Now, it felt like some unspoken agreement that we’d all gather regularly, whether I wanted to or not. The whole situation made me question things, wondering why we suddenly needed to meet so often when, in the past, we’d been perfectly fine keeping to ourselves. The irony wasn’t lost on me.Emily squeezed my hand, noticing the tension in my grip as we pulled into the driveway. “Remember, not everything needs to be faced with emotions,” she murmured gently, giving me a smile that made me feel as though we were the only two people in the world. “Tonight is just another dinner. We’ll get through it.”I nodded, taking a breath to calm myself. She was right; Emily had this calming effect on me, something I’d never known I needed until I found he

(Mike’s POV).“You aren’t mad at me? For not telling you about my visit to my father’s?”Emily’s question pulled me out of my thoughts, her voice soft yet searching as she looked up at me. I couldn’t help but smile as I shook my head, reaching to touch her cheek, letting my thumb trace the gentle curve there. Her expression held a touch of worry, but I could see something deeper beneath it—trust, maybe. A need for reassurance that ran deeper than the question she’d just asked.“Not at all,” I murmured, my voice low. Jimmy had told me she’d visited him, and, of course, I knew that meant Ben had been around. It wasn’t exactly a thought I enjoyed. There was still a part of me, small but insistent, that flared with jealousy, picturing Emily in the same space as him. But I wasn’t about to let that ruin this moment. I trusted her. She tilted her face up, catching my gaze with her eyes, which sparkled with a warmth that made everything else fade away. I lifted her chin gently, leaning do

(Emily’s POV).“Why don’t you give up, Ben?”My voice cut through the gentle hum of the garden, breaking the tranquility as I stepped toward him. Ben was hunched over, hands full of grass clippings as he tended to the flowerbeds in my father’s yard. His head jerked up at my voice, his face creased in mild surprise. Clearly, he hadn’t expected me to show up here, and certainly not to confront him.The annoyance simmered in my chest as I walked closer, a dull ache pushing me to get the words out, to speak my mind finally. Every time I saw him here, every time I knew he was just around the corner from my life with Mike, it gnawed at me like an open wound.Ben stood up slowly, straightening to his full height, wiping his hands on his jeans. “Emily,” he said, his voice calm but wary. “I didn’t think you’d come here just to see me.”“I came here to ask why you haven’t disappeared from my life,” I replied, my tone sharper than I’d intended. “After everything, why not just… give up?”He loo
