Married To My Ex's Crippled Billionaire Uncle 11
Valeria took a shaky step back, her hands clutching her arms as if to shield herself. “I… I don’t know how to tell you this,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper. “Your mother… she arranged for the treatment while you were in the coma. She said it was for our future.”Markus’s eyes narrowed, his brows knitting together as a storm of emotions crossed his face—confusion, anger, and betrayal. “Treatment? What treatment?” he asked, his tone dangerous.“She… she told me that it was to help us conceive,” Valeria said, her tears spilling over now. “She wanted to ensure we had a child, Markus. She said it was for the family’s legacy, for you.”Markus stood up abruptly, his towering frame unsteady but fueled by his growing rage. “You’re telling me my mother orchestrated this behind my back? That she went so far as to manipulate you into… into this?”“It wasn’t manipulation!” Valeria cried, her voice breaking. “She said it was what you would’ve wanted. She made it sound like it was the o

James chuckled, shaking his head. “Oh, don’t be like that. I came all this way to check on you. How are you feeling, Val? Enjoying your perfect little marriage?” His tone turned bitter, his smirk twisting into a sneer. “I left you? Come on, you know I love you and I didn’t ditch you instead you did. How does it feel to ditch someone who actually cared about you for… this?”His words stung more than she wanted to admit, but she straightened her posture, refusing to let him see her pain. “Whatever I chose to do with my life is none of your business, James. You are the one who dumped me on the altar and now you have the audacity to throw the blame on me. Just leave. You shouldn’t be here.”He stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. “None of my business?” he repeated, his voice low and venomous. “You don’t get to act so righteous, Valeria. You threw me away like I was nothing, you could have waited for me. And for what? To be treated like trash by my uncle Markus?”Her eyes flashed with defian

Markus scoffed, setting his glass down with a loud clink. “Home?” He let out a humorless laugh. “That place hasn’t felt like home in a long time. Everyone is wearing a facade, a mask of empathy.” The woman beside him smirked, her fingers trailing lightly down Markus’s arm. “Oh, let the man have some fun,” she purred, her voice smooth and coaxing. “He deserves a break, doesn’t he?”Lars’s jaw tightened, but he kept his expression neutral. “Your health and your responsibilities, sir, are more important than this… diversion.”Markus’s glare shifted to Lars, his lips curling into a sneer. “Responsibilities?” he repeated mockingly. “Is that what she told you? That I’m shirking my duties?” He shook his head, downing the rest of his drink in one go.Lars held his ground, his patience thinning. “No, sir. But it’s my duty to ensure your safety and to inform you that your actions have consequences. Especially for those waiting for you at home.”Markus stared at him for a long moment, his jaw ti

Her fingers brushed against the doorknob to her room, trembling slightly as she pushed it open. The room was spacious and luxurious, but it felt hollow—like a gilded cage designed to remind her of the distance between her and Markus.She closed the door behind her, the soft click echoing louder in her ears than she expected. She pressed her back against it, her body slowly sinking to the floor as the weight of her emotions bore down on her. She hugged her knees to her chest, burying her face as tears began to spill uncontrollably.Her breath hitched as she cursed herself under her breath. “Why did I think... why did I assume things would be different?” she whispered to the empty room, her voice thick with emotion. “Why did I ever think I could be someone important to him?”The words felt like shards of glass cutting through her heart. She had built up so many hopes when she married Markus, believing that love and respect would follow in time. But reality had crushed those dreams, leav

Valeria stiffened slightly at the mention of the child, the words carrying both pride and weight. “While I’m away, I need you to take care of yourself—and this baby,” Mrs. Stella continued, her voice unwavering. “This family may have its challenges, but the child you’re carrying is a blessing, Valeria. You must remember that.”Valeria nodded, her throat tightening. She appreciated Mrs. Stella’s words, but they only served as a reminder of the complexities she faced. “I’ll do my best,” she said quietly, her hands resting protectively over her stomach.Mrs. Stella gave a small nod of approval, her sharp eyes softening as she stood. “Good. I trust you’ll handle everything here with grace. If you need anything, you can reach me, though I expect Markus will step up and be more present while I’m gone.”Valeria looked away, her lips pressing into a thin line. She wasn’t sure how much faith she had in Markus stepping up, but she didn’t voice her doubts.Mrs. Stella leaned down, her expression

Valeria’s lips parted, but no words came out. The lump in her throat grew tighter as she stared at him, her mind racing. She wanted to deny it, to tell him he was wrong, but the truth hung heavy between them, undeniable and suffocating.Markus sighed, leaning back in his chair again. “Look, I’m not blaming you,” he said, his tone softening slightly. “I didn’t exactly marry you out of love either. This was my mother’s doing, her grand plan to secure some ideal version of a family legacy. But that doesn’t mean we have to live like this—trapped, miserable, pretending this is something it’s not.”Valeria’s hands trembled as she looked down at her lap, her vision blurring with unshed tears. “What are you saying?” she asked, her voice shaky.“I’m saying you don’t have to do this anymore,” Markus said firmly. “You don’t have to stay in this marriage out of obligation to my mother or anyone else. If you want out, say the word, and I’ll make it happen. I’ll sign the papers, give you whatever y

Valeria sat in Markus's study while staring blankly, her hands trembling as she clutched the divorce papers. Her heart felt heavy, but her expression was calm and composed. This time, she wasn’t going to let him dictate everything.Markus leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, watching her with his usual air of indifference. “Well? Have you made up your mind?” he asked coolly, his gaze fixed on her as though he was scrutinizing her every move.She took a deep breath, steadying herself. “Yes,” she said firmly. “I’ll sign the papers.” Markus raised an eyebrow, surprised by her sudden agreement. “That’s refreshing,” he said with a sarcastic smirk. “But I’m guessing there’s a condition?”Valeria stepped forward and placed the papers on the desk. “I want the house on Eastwood Hill,” she said, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. “And ten million dollars. That’s my price for signing these else i am not going to.”The room fell silent for a moment. Markus stared at her, his

The sun was just beginning to set as Valeria’s cab pulled up in front of Bella’s cozy house. The warm, inviting glow of the porch light was the first thing Valeria noticed, and it made her chest tighten with emotion. For the first time in what felt like forever, she felt like she was stepping into a place where she could truly breathe.Before she could even knock, the door swung open, and there stood Bella, her eyes lighting up at the sight of her friend. “Valeria!” Bella exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug. “I’m so glad you’re here. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you.”Valeria smiled softly, the weight of the past few days momentarily lifting as she embraced Bella. “I missed you too,” she said, her voice laced with exhaustion.Bella stepped back, keeping her hands on Valeria’s shoulders as she gave her a once-over. “You look... tired,” Bella said gently. “Come in. Let’s get you settled.”Valeria nodded and followed Bella inside. The house smelled of freshly baked cookies a

Back at Bella’s home, in the dimly lit room, Bella paced back and forth, her agitation palpable in every restless step. “Why is he still not home?” Her heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety as she waited for Eros to return. Each passing moment felt like an eternity, the ticking of the clock on the mantelpiece echoing loudly in her ears.Lost in her thoughts, Bella barely registered the soft footsteps approaching from behind. Startled, she turned to see the butler standing at the doorway, his expression solemn yet reassuring.

Gabriel gave him last warning as he began to wait for any kind of response from him before he could finally generate some solution in the meantime. Markos had to find some solution to the situationand after hearing those words from Gabriel his brain clicked upon the possible escape.As the tension hung thick in the air, Markos emerged from his hiding spot behind the intricately carved stone pillar. “Hah! Do you really want to do that?” His eyes glittered with a mix of defiance and amusement as he locked gazes with Gabriel, who stood in the centre of the hall, his expression stoic yet intense.With a sly smirk playing on his lips, Markos sauntered forward, his steps echoing softly against the polished marble floor. "Well, well, well," he drawled, his voice

He had no idea why Gabriel had been hungry for his blood, Markos heard the banging noises of the gunshots all around in the hall. He had no clue why the heck Gabriel wanted to kill him so badly, when Markos intended to talk to him and initially aimed to talk out the whole situation.'What the fuck, I have to talk with him about this whole damned matter. That's why I came here not to get roasted by bullets.' Markos heard another shot and the bullet hit the pillar behind which he had been hiding, the man reflexively bent down on his knees when the bombardment of the bullets broke the pillar's cement. Gabriel had been consistently calling him names and wanted to scare Markos as much as he could before killing him.“That doesn't matter now. What matters is that I have the power to expose you for who you truly are. Unless…&rd

The next day Gabriel was standing on a balcony overlooking a picturesque villa, bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun. He nervously tapped his foot as he dialled a number on his sleek new phone. After a few rings, Markos picked up. Gabriel called him by his real name. “Markos, it's Gabriel. We need to talk.” On the other end, Markos's voice is laced with suspicion. “What do you want, Gabriel? I was meaning to come to you already.” “No, this is serious. Meet me at the villa on the outskirts of town. You know the one I'm talking about.” Gabriel curtly told him knowing that Markos must have done his search before coming here. There was a pause, followed by a sigh. “Fine. I'll be there.” The call ended, and Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he was taking a risk by confronting Gabriel, but he's determined to put an end to this once and for all. Cutting to the villa grounds Gabriel paces back and forth, his nerves getting the better of him. Suddenly, he heard footsteps a

She knew that her confession would hurt him, perhaps even drive him away, but she couldn't keep the truth hidden any longer. Gabriel's expression softened at her words, his anger melting away as he gazed down at her with compassion. "Valeria," he whispered, his voice filled with tenderness, "I had no idea. Oh dear silly, sis. You women are idiots when in love!”He gathered her into his arms, holding her tightly against him as she buried her face against his chest, seeking solace in his embrace. "Haha, maybe we are. I'm so sorry, Gabriel," she murmured, her words muffled against his shirt. "I never meant to hurt you."Gabriel pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head, his heart aching with the weight of her confession. "It's okay, Valeria," he whispered, his voice soothing and reassuring. "We'll get through this togethe

The door to Valeria's room swung open with a forceful push, revealing Gabriel standing in the doorway, his expression twisted with anger and frustration. Valeria, startled by his sudden entrance, looked up from her desk, her heart racing with apprehension."Gabriel," she began, her voice wavering slightly, "what's wrong?" Gabriel stormed into the room, his fists clenched at his sides as he confronted her. "Who was that man you were talking to in the corridor?" he demanded, his tone sharp and accusatory.Valeria's mind raced as she tried to gather her thoughts, her heart sinking at the realization of Gabriel's anger. She had hoped to avoid this confrontation, to spare him the pain of her secret, but it seemed that fate had other plans."Gabriel, please," she pl

Bella clasped Eros's face gently between her hands as they stepped out of the villa, the evening sun casting a golden glow around them. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers. "Eros," Bella said softly, her eyes searching his face with concern, "are you alright?"Eros smiled, though there was a hint of weariness in his eyes. He leaned into her touch, grateful for her presence beside him. "I'm fine, Bella," he replied, his voice calm yet tinged with emotion. "Just a little tired, perhaps. I will be better after getting home.”Bella's expression softened as she gazed at him, her fingers tracing the lines of his face. “I know it must have been so hard on you," she said, her voice filled with understanding. "But remember, you don't have to be insecure of Gabriel. We ended things officially today.”&n

Liam listened in stunned silence, his expression a mix of shock and sympathy. "Eros, why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked softly, his voice tinged with regret. “Bella has alway been like this, perhaps she underwent some change recently.”Eros shook his head, his gaze fixed on the ground beneath his feet. "I didn't know how," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I can't keep pretending anymore. I need to break free, to find my own path."As the weight of his confession hung heavy in the air, Eros braced himself for Liam's reaction, unsure of what the future held. But as he looked up, he saw only understanding in Liam's eyes, a silent promise of unwavering support."I am sure you will figure this out together, Eros," Liam said, his
