Married To My Ex's Uncle You can't be serious.
Christabel's POVSitting in the ward, while trying to slice the apple in my hand, the sounds of Adam and Andre's discussion wafted through my ears.After we had spent some time together, I figured it was time to let them in. Katherine and Melody sat quietly, listening to the two brothers talking. I cut into their conversation, "How is Mark by the way?" The apple slices were ready, and I shoved it to Andre, sitting beside him.Adam replied, stretching his hand to snatch a slice of apple from Andre's bowl. "He's doing okay." A scowl formed the way to Andre's lips, "Get yours." He said, dragging the bowl to his chest. Andre stuck out his tongue, "Christabel didn't say it was yours either."Andre jabbed, looking at his brother in disgust. "She didn't need to say it." From the corner of my eyes, I saw Katherine and Melody giggling at their antics.Sometimes, I feel like these two were a pair of cat and dog. They often bullied each other, like children, disregarding their ages.Their e

Christabel's POV"Do I look like I am joking to any of you?" Andre's chill voice was carried through the silent ward, as we waited for his response.But this response was not what we wanted. I could tell from the looks on Adam's and Katherine's faces that they had the same look as mine."Andre, don't you see what's being said on the television? How can you say you plan to do nothing?" I pulled Andre's gown, shaking him a little.I tried my best not to pull hard, due to his stab wound. It was late at night, and we were yet to sleep like in the hospital.In between our talk, the occasional screams of a patient or doctor shouting for a file or tool, along with the stretcher being rolled to the theater could be heard.This was why I hated the hospital. You would think it was a place to get well, but you would be surprised at the number of deaths being recorded here daily.Andre pulled my small palms off his gown gently, his straight face to his brother, "None of you have dealt with Bobby

Christabel's POV "I don't want to, but I have reasons to suspect Jimmy." Andre's deep voice sent a chill through me. Eyes wide in shock, I sat quickly on the bed. "Jimmy?" Andre confirmed, adjusting himself. "Yes," My head was buzzing. "Why would you suspect Jimmy? He's been loyal and you have known him for years." Still reeling in shock, I peered into his eyes searching for an answer. It doesn't make sense. Jimmy hates Bobby. I have seen it through his actions and words. Andre shook his head, releasing a heavy chuckle. "He might be loyal, babe, and I might have known him for all my life, but I have no idea what his thoughts are." His deep chest, vibrating as he laughed, caused me to feel his sadness. Even with how hard he tried to play it off, I could still see the flicker of pain in his eyes. "But, still." I hesitated, biting my thin lips. "Do you have evidence to prove this? What made you suspect him?" He sighed, the beeping sound of the heart machine bringing the l

Christabel's POV"Tell me, what did Jimmy do?" I sniffled, making myself comfy on the bed. Letting out a sigh, he pulled me into his arms. I knew this was hard for him, but as his wife, it was only proper I got the truth from him."Before Bobby appeared in the picture, Jimmy had been behaving weirdly." He began, his large palm stroking my back. The ward was quiet, only the beeping sound and snores that left Melody's parted lips, were the only noise disturbing the night. Even the ever busy hospital seemed to have seen the importance of this moment. "How weird?" I asked, my eyes falling on his pale face.Andre's face was as white as a sheet, ever since he had been admitted, but finally, I could notice a faint layer of blush which clouded his cheeks.What helped him so far was the antiseptics, and I was not sure why they hadn't worn off by now, but by the way Andre was pursing his lips, I figured it was starting to wear off."I wouldn't classify Jimmy's actions as weird, but it is the

Christabel's POV"Christabel," A voice called, while I was deep into my sleep. "Christabel?" A gentle touch followed on my skin, making me groan."Who is it? Leave me alone please." I mumbled under my breath, still with my eyes closed and burying my head into the blankets."Wake up Christabel, it's two in the afternoon." The person repeated, this time, the tone turning firm like a mother hen. Even in my sleep, I could hear the sternness in the person's voice."Give me five minutes okay?" I pleaded, holding out four fingers to whoever was disturbing my sleep.Going to bed so late after the hectic days we have been through was the height of it for my body. I needed rest, and if I didn't get it, I was going to get cranky for the whole day.The blanket was yanked off, giving me no time to scream. "Come on Christabel, don't be lazy. At least put something in your stomach." "Go away." I groaned, covering my head with the soft pillows.My head was foggy, and even my eyes were clouded with

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

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

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 Epilogue.
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
Married To My Ex's Uncle Joan's victim.
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
