Marrying the Ex Uncle Chapter 12
Third povThere was a look of alarm on Amanda's face as she whirled around to face Quinn. Her eyes darted to his face, searching for answers, hoping that the scary realization was not so. She could feel the anxiety washing over her and overwhelming her in advance for the situation she was about to find herself in. Regardless, she decided to ask Quinn the question, fearing for his answer. "I-Is…is this where you live? With Logan, his granny, and his mother? Is this where we shall be staying?"She held her breath for his reply, hoping he would respond in the negative. She was nearly exasperated at this point. She had gone through enough awkward situations for a lifetime. How was she supposed to live in the same house as Logan?!Quinn had been expecting this reaction from Amanda, so it did not surprise him. He simply did not care if she was affected by it or not. After all, the contract had been signed. But before he could give her an answer, Granny Maria walked in. The old woman was

Chapter 13Amanda's POVAfter our argument last night and my blurt of words without thinking which I still deeply regret, Quinn did not come back home. I searched the house for him but he was nowhere to be found. It was a servant who finally put me out of my misery by informing me that he'd gone out and didn't return. Dejectedly, I'd returned to the room and locked the door behind me, refusing to show myself at all and making sure to avoid Mrs McCullough and Granny Maria. I'd had enough drama for one day and I needed to cool my head. I felt strangely lonely without Quinn around, but I still refused to leave his room. Thankfully, a maid had brought me food without my asking, making me realize that I'd been starving. As I dug into the food savagely, I wondered between mouthfuls who could have sent the maid to me. Between Granny Maria and Logan's mother, Mrs McCullough, neither of them seemed to welcome me earlier today. So that was a mystery, and I had forgotten to ask the maid. Rega

Amanda's POVI'm sure my face was the very definition of surprise, but I was too caught up in the meaning of Quinn's words to care. For a second I was scared to say anything, fearing I might have misheard him and that I would only make a fool of myself. A date?I stared up at him doubtfully. For some reason, my whole body was prickling with an emotion I could not describe. My heart rate was definitely not normal, and my mouth felt dry. To be honest, I was still reeling over him complimenting me, so I really did not know how to act. "Are you…asking me out on a date?" I finally found my voice, though my voice was hoarse from disbelief. I couldn't believe it. As usual, he waited at least two beats before he spoke. "Yes, a date. You do know that a date isn't just for loving couples, right?" He explained. "We are trying to create the illusion of being in a romantic relationship. What better way to make people believe our relationship is based on love than going on special dates."I nodd

Quinn's POVAs I hung up the phone, I immediately began to make my way to the restroom. Although strange, I guessed it was no surprised that Amanda had jammed the door. She seemed to have a knack for getting herself into trouble. For the umpteenth time, I wondered what kind of woman she was anyway. It was clear to see that she was angry about the restaurant I chose and the prices she deemed ridiculous. I did not understand why it was such a big deal to her, but she sure as hell took it personally.I also knew that she had ordered those extra dishes and drinks just to spite me. It was amusing to watch her, to see how far she was willing to go just to spite me. I have to admit I was impressed when she finished her first serving without batting an eyelid. But when she began to struggle, it was laughable. As I thought of her forcing fettuccine down her throat, a smile pulled on the corners of my lips. What made her think it was a good idea to get back at someone by hurting herself? She

Amanda's POVWith my arms wrapped around myself like a shield, I crouched in the passenger seat of Quinn's car, still shaken. I still couldn't believe what had just happened to me; being held at gunpoint and standing the risk of being shot. The thought of it brought tears to my eyes and I wondered yet again if mixing with this family was a good idea. But of course, I had no choice in the matter. I was already in too deep. I was still frazzled. I kept thinking of how things would have gone down if the police didn't show up when they did. That man was abducting me, ready to take me to an unknown location. My stomach churned with fear at the thought of what he would have done to me to get Quinn's attention. And yet through all this, Quinn had not said a word. I was somewhere between pissed off and teary. First he had delayed in coming to the bathroom to get me out of there, and then he'd neglected to even talk about it or express concern. I faced the window and kept my expression grim

Amanda's POVLogan's threat resounded through my ears like a gong, making me freeze up. I wondered if I'd heard right, but I couldn't be mistaken. Logan just threatened to commit suicide, because of me. "Is this a fucking joke?!" I yelled at him, furious that he would say something like that. "Hello? Hello, Logan, I'm talking to you!"But all I got in response was the beeping sound as he ended the call. I stared at my phone, furious and amazed at the same time. "What's wrong? What did that bastard want?" Vanessa asked. I looked up at my laptop screen to see her adjusting on her bed, a worried look on her face. "Amanda?" She called out. "You look pale. What did he say to you?"I gave her a rundown of my conversation with Logan, and when I was done, a look of irritation clouded her features. "Really? That's his tactic now? That bastard is so freaking desperate! He's obviously bluffing." Vanessa hissed and relaxed once again. "And here I was thinking it was something serious."My eye

Amanda's POVI stared at Logan in shock, wondering what the hell he was saying. Was he intentionally trying to twist the truth into something more? I glared at him only to see a smirk on his face as he walked away. What an asshole! My fists clenched as I angrily watched him leave. He had done this on purpose! Now this, plus what he did to me last night, everything was pissing me off and making me wish I'd just listened to Vanessa last night. I should've just stayed home. But no, I had to run to his aid. And now he was intent on causing trouble for me. Meanwhile, the room had gone silent at Logan's words. I immediately turned to Quinn to explain, but his expression was unreadable and emotionless as usual. I wondered what he thought of all this. I was mortified, remembering that I'd even lied to him about where I really was last night. Now it had been exposed, and he probably saw me as a shameless woman who was still so desperate to be with her ex. I didn't want him to see me as ind

Amanda POVI spent the rest of my morning and a huge chunk of the afternoon working on the report that had been assigned to me. It seemed endless, as I spent almost four hours on each department, drafting out notes before finally typing out my review. I had known beforehand that this was a huge task, but nothing prepared me for just how serious and exerting it would be. By the time my alarm went off for lunch break, I was still on the review of the first department, trying to type out my report. "Shit," I swore under my breath, rubbing my forehead in exasperation. I had barely even begun writing my review and it was lunch time already.I wanted to scream. At this point my hope began to waver. How could I possibly finish the review of 24 departments in a space of three days?! This was just day one and I was nowhere near concluding the first department. I shook my head as I wondered what to do. This was the first job Quinn had given me despite the protest from the directors and execut

Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and forty one
Amanda’s POV Sleeping with absolutely no worry has a way of making you relax. I slept into the later morning and I still didn’t get enough until the maid had come and woken me. It was the weekend which meant more time to snuggle.I was thrilled, so happy like I was infused with a happy serum. After I learnt that Quinn didn’t have sex with Mrs. Hawthorn, I’ve been grinning like a five year old with candy.Furthermore, that note had made me even more smitten by Quinn. I smiled and giggled like a teenage girl with a crush. Not to add the multiple sex we’ve had since he told me that he didn’t have sex with her.It was as though that confession had made me a pool of horny. And damnnn might I add, Quinn was extremely good with fucking. He had stamina, knew how to make proper use of his fingers, his tongues….his dick.And all of this, we had without protection. Going raw. As if in accord, the thought struck a core memory of him when he was buried deep inside me, my fingers digging into his

Quinn’s POV “Well?” Her eyes probed my face for an answer. “Did you not have sex? It pretty much seemed that you guys did with the way you were all over each other.” Talking about sex, my mind reared back to the night when she’d requested that I should go and sleep with Mrs. Hawthorn. I was pissed that she’d even requested that in the first place despite how tender her condition was. I understood and she was scared that I would lose my position. That night I’d gone to see my private investigator on the information I’d asked from him about Mrs. Hawthorn.He forwarded her secret life to me. Everything, from when she was a kid, where she schooled, her family and down to her husband. Every damn thing had been drawn in that single document.I had wanted to go easy on her, but she’d thought she was clever and smart. When I heard Amanda’s request, it had been a whole different level of rage that she’d dared use my woman against me.After going through her file, my grip hardened on the d

Amanda’s POV I arrived at home later in the evening, tired and defeated from thoughts. There was nothing I could do. I’d spent the entire ride pondering and thinking of a way out but found none.I would get sacked, I would lose everything. I would be back to square one. Hell, I’ll be back to zero, at least I had a job at square one, this time I would be left with completely nothing. Nothing.My head was spamming with these troubles when I pushed the door open to Candace and Miranda. I was too tired to snort at the sight. It wasn’t surprising seeing them together. Birds of the same feather they said flocked together. They were talking about me. “I knew she was incompetent, I pity who allowed her to attain such a position.” Miranda snorted, casting a brief glance at me.What would I call this, gossip? No. With gossip one usually changed the topic when the subject matter stepped in, but not this, they were casually talking like I wasn’t there, or if I was there they didn’t care.“No,

Quinn’s POV With everything already blown on our faces, I was left with one choice; going to see our biggest investors. She had sent her message. Currently she was in her private mansion and her secretary was leading me to her.The mansion was big, everything in the hallway was made white with fluorescent lights and chandeliers. She was our biggest investor for a reason.A double lidded door, white in colour stood at the end of the white fluorescent hall. Her secretary stepped aside and pushed the door open. As she ushered me in, she bowed and shut the door behind me.This was her office I supposed. Her back was to me as I stepped inside. She swirled on the chair———my mouth fell open at the woman….no, the lady on the chair. I struggled to blink, then looked around for the woman that had always appeared on screen. A woman in her late thirties or forties. But now as I stared at the woman, all I saw was a young lady, Quickly, I schooled my expressionWhy did she hide her identity behi

Amanda’s POV With cold feet and jelly legs, I walked to the room which seemed faster than it usually was. Sweat dribbled down the small of my back. Dread pooling in the deep of my stomach.I stood outside the large double lidded door, contemplating and hesitating opening the door. I imagined all their faces, red hot with anger. Especially Quinn.Slowly, with stiff fingers, I took the door knob and pulled it open with eyes shut.It was like stepping into a new world where you revealed everyone’s secret and they hated you. They were angry, not in a theoretical or any fancy way, they were red horn angry.I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me in that instant, but instead I clenched my fist and swallowed hard on my saliva.“Good morning, everyone.” I bowed and hurried over to a seat, avoiding everyone’s gaze. Seating down, I merely made myself comfortable, when Mrs. Rosaline started, making me jerk up back to stand. “What the hell did you do by sending a wrong file to our bigges

Quinn’s POV She probed his face, staring at the damage on his bruised lips, black eyes and many more I’d destroyed on his face. She cursed again, tutting at the wounds and cuts. He was barely holding up right, eyes swollen and black.“Who did this to my son?” She demanded more persistently this time. I watched her as her face grew pensive inspecting every new cut with a horror struck face.“Logan… Logan.” She held his chin, delicately not to cause any more pain, but the smallest touch made him wince. “Who did this to you, tell me, who did this?”Logan of course didn’t answer, but his eyes were trained on me. Mrs. Rosaline whipped around to hold my form in deliberate questioning. “Did…did you do this to my son?” It was a great fit that she tried to tamp down the rage boiling in her throat. Her eyes were sharp like a newly crafted dagger.She held Logan’s face to me, “did you do this to my son? Your brother?” I made no indication to answer, she left him and was stomping towards me, s

Quinn’s POV I knew Amanda wouldn’t like my answer, but I had to just do it. I didn’t love Miranda anymore but it would be cruel to know that she had a problem and I wouldn’t help her out. “You can stay,” I said to her. I couldn’t look at Amanda’s face as I said those words to her. She fixed me with a steely gaze.Guilt ate at me. After everything I’d put her through, the last thing I wanted was to make her angry or make her feel bad. Left for only me alone I’d go out of my way to make sure she saw and believed that I was sorry and in regrets.The look on her face confirmed my fear. She was dead mad. She didn’t like the decision, but there was nothing I could do. I just couldn’t Miranda away. Miranda smiled, “thank you, Quinn. This means a lot to me.” She said, If Amanda could, she’d shoot lasers at her using her eyes. She observed her lips in a paused and thin line, eyes trained on Miranda’s form.With the hassle from yesterday, I believed we’d already made the covers of every ne
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and thirty three
Amanda’s POV I woke up with the afterthought of my actions lingering in my head like a bomb ticking, ready to go off. When I rolled on my back I was welcomed by an empty bed. Quinn was not in bed. I looked out through the curtains and saw that it was still very early, the sky still had the pink and blue stripes mottle of colours and the moon was still visible, faintly.Somehow I was happy I woke up with him out already, doing what? I wondered. But his absence would make it easier for me to put up my walls and confront him why he was such a jerk to me, even without confirming from me that I was an escort as the idiot said.But then thinking about how much of a jerk he was, my mind reared back to last night how he’d come to my room. My lips stretched into a smile and the tingles from his touch thrummed in my skin like it just happened and then there was a fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach.I stifled a scream and planted my face back into the pillow. My cheeks warmed up, sprea

Quinn’s POV “What?”Those words were like a bucket of ice emptied on me. She didn’t say anything after that, just stared at me with a sultry gaze.I was dumbfounded and starstruck. What could I possibly say at that moment? I just turned around and walked out with knees about to buckle. Everything was too much, the information was a lot to take in. It was as if I’d run a marathon on a completely different track.So many things scared me as her words replayed in my head. If I was her first that meant I’d been an asshole for nothing. More so I’d treated her so wrongly and jumped to conclusions. I had also been a coward, I never addressed her directly about it, just acting like a maniac with no reason.I hadn’t even confirmed what she said and I was already cringing and feeling all shitty. So many things were wrong with how I reacted, first and foremost I’d been a total jackass, even though it ended up being true, I never should have treated her that way, called her names, it was all i
