Married To My Ex's Uncle Arguments.
Christabel's POV"Christabel," he started with a sigh, his face still as bloodless as ever. "It's not how you think.""Not how I think?" I shouted in response, clenching my fists tightly. "What is wrong with you Andre, first you say something, then the next second you do the opposite of it. Just a few hours ago we promised we would tell each other everything about us and that includes if you are hurting!" My chest rose furiously, and my cheeks burned while I stared at him with fire in my eyes.Katherine and Adam went silently to the corner, opting to give us some time to ourselves as couples.He touched his brows, closing his eyes to cover his frustration. "Christabel, please don't do this here, not now, and not in front of them.""Andre, I am doing this in front of them and I don't care! What is wrong with you?" I rose fully on my feet, my brows furrowed.How can Andre act like this was nothing?I woke up not finding my husband beside me, and he expected me not to be worried. Then w
Married To My Ex's Uncle Justice Averted.
Christabel's POVFor days, neither Andre nor I were speaking. Sure, I asked about his well-being, but I didn't show that I cared.Presently, I was in Joan's ward. Due to my being preoccupied with Andre, I had forgotten about his situation but thankfully, I wasn't too far behind. Melody and Tina had filled me in.Doctor Felicia had visited Joan, and taken a look at him. There was still good news. Joan could be cured. The news was like a light to our tunnels. Katherine and Adam's especially.Katherine had shed tears at the news, and even Adam's usual stoic expression fell when a sigh of relief left his mouth.Sitting on the couch in Joan's ward, I watched as Andre was pushed in by John from the side of my eyes.Today he had tried talking to me, but I didn't want to cave in.Let him bask in the silent treatment a little bit so he can see how I felt. He had been let too easily, that is why he had the nerve to treat me this way."Doctor Felicia, how is he," Katherine probed anxiously, fo
Married To My Ex's Uncle Enemy's call
Christabel's POV Pacing anxiously in the hall, my mind was so clouded, racing with all kinds of stuff, and so was my heart beating so loudly in my ribcage. What was keeping them so long? We were already starting to worry. Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket, startling me. "Ah!" I screamed, my face flushing in embarrassment, as their eyes landed on me. As fast as I could, I fumbled for my phone. Andre cast a glance at me, seeing my nervous antics. ~Ring, ring. The phone continued, and I fished it out of my pocket, the others, not paying kind to my actions. Unexpectedly, it was taking longer than expected with the acupuncture. Doctor Felicia said it took only three to four hours to do this, but it had passed five hours since they had been in there now, and it was already mid-noon. "Why aren't they out yet?" John said, looking at the door calmly, but his eyes betrayed him. His eyes were filled with apprehension, and so were the others, but my hands were s
Married To My Ex's Uncle Good news after the chaos.
Christabel's POV "Shit!" Adam cussed as he bolted for the door, John and James behind his tail.Standing with my hands on Andre's wheelchair, I squeezed the handles.Adam pounded his fist on the door, the loud sound attracting the passing nurses and doctors as they stopped to ask what was going on. "We need to get in immediately!" Andre answered for his raging brother, as they tried to stop him. "We can't let you do that unless you give us a reason sir, it's policy." A doctor said, pushing his glasses calmly on his face. "Fuck policy! My son's life is in danger!" Adam roared, pushing the doctor out of his way, and hiring the door.Before the doctor could get to him however, John and Jimmy played their roles. They acted like bodyguards, obstructing the doctors from going through.Under the eyes of everyone present, Adam forced the door off its hinges, sending the door crashing."Katherine!" He yelled, rushing into the room, the air falling silent.From where I stood, I could smell
Married To My Ex's Uncle A new beginning.
Andre's POV."Sir? Should we sign a contract with the Bensons?" Mark's crisp voice wafted to my ears as I sat facing the laptop.I looked up from my work, taking in his poise form as he held out a paper for me to see while adjusting his glasses. "Let me have a look at that," I said, taking the paper from his hand to go through it.It has been three months since the last incident, and also three months since we last heard anything from Bobby or Gale. After what happened in the hospital three months ago, we discovered that the McDonald's company was completely ruined, and had to shut it down to satisfy the public. It was an unjust cause, but there was nothing we could do about it. With the help of my wife Christabel, we were able to start up a new company.From the stay at the hospital, the only good thing that came out of it was Christabel meeting a famous behemoth in the business industry— Clara.The old lady was willing to help us start our company only in Christabel's name. "Th
Married To My Ex's Uncle A blast from the past.
Christabel's POV"Bad news sir!" Jimmy's yell had cut through our bubble, causing a frown on both our faces, panic rising in my heart as I clenched Andre's arm. "Drive faster, we need to get to my brother on time." Andre's smooth voice called from beside me as he instructed Jimmy on the wheels. I looked out the window, catching a reflection of my fallen face. Jimmy had burst into the office half an hour ago, feeling us to watch the news.It was Bobby. He's back but this time he wasn't alone. "Don't worry babe, we won't let him get away this time." Andre's soothing voice reached my ears, and I felt his warm palms squeeze mine softly but besides that, I could hear the faint tremor in his voice. Bobby had left scars on all of us and for three months we had been doing nothing but trying to heal only for those wounds to be poked open.I sighed, equally squeezing his palm trying to concentrate on the buildings that flashed past as we drove through.We were on our way to Adam's mansion
Married To My Ex's Uncle False accusations.
Christabel's POV"I just want to tell you all that Andre McDonald is truly a demon who should never be allowed to live because he's done horrible things to me."The room was eerily silent, except for the sounds of fake sobs leaving Jacqueline's lips.Beside her was the criminal we have been looking for these past months— Bobby, with a sad face on.He wrapped his arm around Jacqueline in a comforting embrace, looking at the camera occasionally to buy pity from the people. From where I sat I could smell the fakeness of their acting which made me curse out loud.But sadly, the people bought it. Enthusiastically, the reporter shoved the mic up Jacqueline's face, throwing questions about Andre's treatment to her. "Oh," she sniffed, dabbing the tissue under her eyes. "I am sorry for having a breakdown, but saying all these things brings back painful memories.""We understand Miss Jacqueline." The female reporter nodded, "Take your time."Jacqueline smiled kindly at the reporter, the acti
Married To My Ex's Uncle Back to the scraps.
Andre's POV.Mark's voice sent death-like bells ringing in my ears, sending everything to go blank. "Sir, what should we do?" He asked anxiously over the phone, and I couldn't bring myself to say anything.What could I say? That everything was going to be alright? When I knew it wouldn't. I was sure the cops were right on their way looking for my whereabouts since the scandal contained public opinion and justice. To prove themselves they would stop at nothing to have me behind bars. I can't believe I trusted Bobby all this while but who am I to say anything?Jacqueline just bit me by spewing those lies on live television. What made me confused in all this was why she would want to do this. Did she want to get back with me?But this strategy was too low."Sir?" Mark anxiously called my name, bringing me out of my haze. "What are we going to do?" "Give me a minute mark, I need to sort my thoughts," I said, cutting the call. I palmed my face, falling heavily on the couch regardless

Christabel's POVStaring at my reflection in the mirror, I grinned hard, my heart beating as I swallowed.I turned my head to the side, taking a close glance at my makeup but there was no flaw I could point out.Suddenly, a loud voice came followed by Melody's bouncy self. "Christabel, are you ready?"I couldn't get to answer because she let out a scream, her eyes flashing with excitement as she took in my form. "Oh my gosh Christabel, you are so beautiful!" She gushed, taking a deep look at me. I beamed at her, standing with a pose so she could see me perfectly."Andre would trip when he sees you."I blushed at her words, shyly lowering my head to look at the floor. For someone so young, Melody was too chirpy for her good. Nonetheless, I bit my lip, looking at her with doubt on my face, "do you think so?""Of course!" She assured causing some of the doubts to roll but still, I was nervous. Today was a huge day for me and Andre, as it was our official wedding.You might be wonder
Married To My Ex's Uncle Another hospital time.
Andre's POV"Adam!" I yelled as I ran into his mansion, anger clouding my features. "Adam you better get out here 'cause it's urgent!"My voice raked through the air, straining my throat. My heart pounded like a drum, anxiety climbing like a spider over my heart. A few hours ago, I was in the office, reviewing some documents when I received a distress call from Christabel.Before I could panic, I received a message next from Bobby telling me to meet him at a warehouse I wanted to save Christabel from being raped by Joan.This fucking bastard!Did he know I almost died because of him? But here he was lusting after my wife!I rushed to study, grabbing him by the neck before he could react. I roared into his face, "If you don't follow me now, I don't care what's going to happen to your son!""What the fuck is wrong with you Andre?" Adam snarled, smacking my hands off his clothes."What's wrong?" I scoffed, running a hand through my hair. "What's wrong is that stupid son of yours going t

Bobby's POV"Shit!"I cussed as I walked through the streets, lowering my head while adjusting the hat on my head. The sound of sirens blaring filled my ears, causing me to groan. I balled my fists, as I threaded through the dark street, the flickering light from a street lamp, obscuring my vision.It was late at night, but everything seemed like day to me. I pushed a wooden board out of the way, looking behind to see if there was anyone following before I went in. The room went dark as I closed the only source of light from getting in before walking in deeper. "Bobby is that you?" A deep voice sounded in the dark and I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Ignoring the question, I strolled deeper into the room only for me to stop, as he stood in front of me. "What do you want?" I growled, feeling a vein tick at the side of my neck. Through the dark, I saw him flinch, shaking his head as he backed away, probably recognizing my voice."S–sorry," he stammered, taking steps back.He should

Christabel's POV"Are you ready?" Andre's voice wafted into my ears as we stood in front of the huge doors leading to the courtroom. Licking my lips, I hummed in reply while putting on a serious face. Andre sensed my emotions, so he wrapped his huge palms around mine. Today was the day we claimed everything that was ours back. After Andre's words in the hospital three weeks ago, things had taken a drastic change. Adam and Katherine had refused to believe their son had a hand in any of the things happening, so they stormed off looking for him. However, they were crushed by the truth. It was right in front of us the whole time and we failed to notice it.To prevent Bobby from harming his stupid nephew, Andre had planned on sacrificing himself.At first, Andre didn't believe it, but when he called and didn't get a reply from Joan he knew it was true. Having been discovered, John, Jimmy, and Joan all ran away without a trace, the action casting pain on the couple. "Let's go, Christa

Christabel's POVSitting in the ward, the constant sound of the heart monitor's harsh beeping penetrated my ears, making me squeeze the pale fingers in my hands tighter. My eyes strayed onto Andre's sleeping figure on the bed, my heart aching at the sight of him. His face was as pale as a sheet, his hair long and messily curled on the pillow.On his face was a mask which allowed him to breathe. A fog covered the mask as he breathed through an oxygen mask, his chest a slow rise and falling.My eyes rested on his wrist, which was bandaged, a patch of blood appearing on the white material.What were you thinking Andre?"I felt my eyes sting, and I blinked to stop the water from falling. Thinking of what happened that day was like a nightmare I wish to wake up from.Coming to the apartment and finding Andre with his left wrist slashed, and a kitchen knife beside him was indescribable.I remembered through my haze how I frantically ran into the apartment, not knowing what to do and it
Married To My Ex's Uncle End it all.
Christabel's POVI looked out the window, the morning sun hitting my eyes.It's been a month since I last saw Andre or spoke to anyone in particular.After that day, I didn't return to the apartment or bother going to Adam's. I went to my grandma's old house.Before she died, she left the property in my name, and I was glad the house was still standing despite how wrecked it looked.Andre had somehow gotten wind of where I stayed but that was two days after.In my haste to get away from him, I cut off every trace that could lead him to where I was, but a McDonald was always a McDonald. Criminal or not, Andre braved through the streets, looking for me, and that touched me only a little.I squinted my eyes, hoping I could catch a glimpse of his figure on the porch, but he wasn't there.Andre had been coming for weeks without stopping, trying to talk to me, but nothing he said made sense to me. I was sure he was trying to make excuses. I wrapped my hands around myself, letting the curt

Christabel's POVAnother crash.Another yell, followed by a female's screech, which made my heart thump a thousand times per second. Calm down, Christabel.I exhaled through my lips, gripping the table as hard as I could, my knuckles going white."How dare you?!" The male's voice boomed through the wooden doors, echoing in the empty restaurant. I couldn't make do with what the woman said, but it riled the man up. "I gave you my trust, everything you needed, and this is how you repay me?"The man's shout caused me to jerk this time.My brows creased, and I couldn't help but narrow my eyes as I listened to the voice. "Listen, that shit you pulled in front of the media? You are going to take it down!" Was that Andre's voice?I squinted my eyes, my heart racing as I listened deeply."I can make you if you don't do as I say." The man growled, his voice a deep rumble through the restaurant.Oh gosh! It is Andre's voice. My eyes widened, and I stood to my feet. I have to stop him!Thi
Married To My Ex's Uncle Kidnapped for a chat
Christabel's POVHolding onto my bag while I crossed the road, I couldn't help the tension that suddenly built in my heart.Pausing in my steps, I lowered my head, looking at my toes through the flat sandals I wore. My heart was racing, and I felt my breath stuck against my throat as I thought of what today was. Today was D-day, meaning it had been two days since I met Jacqueline at the parking lot, and I still didn't dare to tell anyone. Clutching my bag, guilt washed over me.Andre had told everyone about meeting Bobby at the court, as well as the possible hand he had in the case while I kept quiet about mine.What was I to do anyway? I couldn't walk up to Andre and tell him I had made a deal— well, sort of, with Jacqueline.That would shatter him."Hey, get off the road!" An angry yell came from behind me, causing me to snap out of my daze. Hurriedly, I apologized to the red-faced man who had bags of groceries in his hands, before making way for him as he cursed while moving.Si
Married To My Ex's Uncle When will this end?
Christabel's POVThe drive home was uneventful. I was stuck in my head, even forgetting about lunch. I drove to the garage, sighing as I turned off the engine. I closed my eyes, running my hand tiredly in my face. Meeting Jacqueline had drained the energy out of me.Since the news of what Jacqueline said on television had caught the attention of the media, we had decided it was best to move. It wasn't Adam's mansion but one of Andre's.He had bought a small apartment in one of his friend's estate— although I have no idea who that friend was. I unlocked the door, closing it with a bang as I stepped into the apartment.The apartment was huge, facing a wonderful landscape.Andre had planned to surprise me with this apartment for our honeymoon, but that was also destroyed by Bobby's incessant butting in. Pushing the door open, the door closed with a gentle click.I walked into the apartment and saw the light in the living room on. Was Andre back? I dropped the keys into the key tray a
