Marrying the Ex Uncle Eighty six
Amanda’s POV“This is nice,” I said to Quinn, gesturing between us as we sat across from each other in the high end restaurant he had reserved for us. The date was going pretty well already. So far we had not argued about anything. We had been discussing business so far, and all the awkwardness I feared would consume us was non-existent. Quinn was actually good company as I’d come to learn, and I was actually enjoying myself. He smiled briefly and looked through our table. “Dessert?” he asked, and I nodded too quickly for my own good. I tried to downplay the embarrassing moment, but Quinn did not seem to mind. He chuckled heartily, leaning backwards as he fixed me with that dark gaze of his. “You’re adorable.”My stomach did back flips at the sound of his deep voice washing over me. And did Quinn just compliment me, again? Wow. I almost believed again that this entire night was just all part of a dream conjuring in my mind. I was actually having fun with Quinn. In what universe was

Amanda's POVI was literally seconds away from screaming. The excitement flowing through me spread from my chest right down to the tips of my toes. Quinn and I had almost kissed! What the hell was that, even? And why had it felt so tense, so intimate? And it wasn't for performance or for show. It felt like he was really about to kiss me…I think. Was he? Now I couldn't tell anymore. Or had I been fantasizing about him so much that I misread his body language? We definitely had a good time today, he was nice, we even talked about his father. But did that mean he found me attractive? Ugh, I didn't know the rules to this. I would ask Vanessa about it later because at this point I was clueless. I frowned when I realized she would tease me about it because from the very first day, she had anticipated a romance between Quinn and I. Did this mean that I was…falling for Quinn? My eyes widened and I shook my head as I thought about it. No, it couldn't be. There was no way. He was an attracti

Quinn's POVI struggled to ease the pressure off the champagne glass in my hand as I stared at Amanda at the other end of the hall. The party was in full swing, people talking and laughing, some dancing as well. Nikolai had greeted me enthusiastically when I first walked in, and I decided I was going to enjoy this party. It had been a while since I just relaxed and let myself drink and party. But as soon as I saw Amanda talking and giggling with Alex Dayne, I nearly exploded. I was still boiling as I watched them, contemplating walking over there and punching the bastard in the face for daring to talk to my wife in my presence. But I held myself back to avoid making a scene at the party. Besides, I'd already resolved to not give a fuck about Amanda or whatever she chose to do. She could talk to all the men at this fucking party for all I cared. Angrily, I looked away from there and walked to the other side where Nikolai and a few other business acquaintances of mine were drinking and

Amanda’s POVSince Quinn badly wanted something to be mad about, I would give him just that. I leaned forward into Alex, pretending to laugh at his stupid jokes and putting in a facade of having so much fun. I couldn’t believe Alex was actually falling for it, so embarrassing for him. He was probably thinking he was going to get lucky tonight. Joke’s on him. I would run away right after I was done with this. I laughed loudly again for dramatic effect, not even bothering to check if Quinn was looking. I already knew he was staring daggers at me. Perfect. Alex continued to engage me in conversation until I was bored out of mind. “Would you like to dance?” He asked. I was about to decline, but when I remembered that Quinn was watching, I immediately changed my mind. I would give Quinn one hell of a show since that’s what he was looking for. Alex held out a hand to me with a sleazy smile plastered on his face, and I fought the urge to roll my eyes at that. “Sure,” I smiled. “I would l

Amanda’s POVMy eyes fluttered open as a beam of sunlight hit my face. I groaned lightly as I stretched on the sift sheets beneath me and forced my eyes open. I was feeling so groggy, in a strange kind of way, like I was completely exhausted but also more energetic than I’d been in a very long time. At that moment, flashbacks of last night came rushing back, staining my face with a reddish tinge. Fuck, last night had been completely crazy. I honestly could not believe that Quinn and I had had sex last night! Oh my goodness! I was freaking out so bad now that I almost thought I might have a panic attack or something. “Oh my God,” I whispered under my breath as I shut my eyes and thought of what to do. One glance at the side already showed me that Quinn was nowhere to be found. Okay, maybe that was a good thing. I needed some time alone to fully process my feelings. This was completely insane. If someone told me I would be tangled up in the sheets with Quinn at all, I probably have cu

Amanda's POV"You have to tell me everything!" Vanessa held again. I tried hard not to laugh. She had finished with her screaming in disbelief and was now back in front of her laptop facing me. "I will..""Tell me right now! Was he big? Wait, scratch that, I am a hundred percent sure he is. I mean, look at the muscles on that man. Not to mention his big hands and feet. You know what they say about men's feet being the same size are their–""Vanessa," I cut her off, burning with embarrassment. "We'll talk about that later. I called you because I feel so…confused."She stared at me as though I had said something abominable, and then a naughty expression lit up her face. "If you're referring to the kind of 'naughty' I think you are, then that's normal, baby. Who wouldn't be confused after having their brains fucked out by that Greek god of a man?"I groaned into my pillow and shook my head. Well, she was right. But still. It was different. "That's not what I mean, Nessa. I'm just…I mean

Amanda's POVVanessa and I stayed on the call for about thirty more minutes before she had to leave for work. It was a weekday after all, and she had to be in the office in about an hour. I sighed and bade her goodbye, missing her already. I did not fully realize how much I'd missed her. I sighed and concentrated on the food in front of me. I'd been picking at it since I was so engrossed with talking to Vanessa. I felt too light and giddy to eat much, so I just stuffed some hash browns into my mouth before pushing the tray away. As I prepared my morning routine, I read through the note Quinn had sent me. I still wasn't over that gesture. And to think that he had even apologized for leaving before I woke up. It was satisfying. I sighed again and took another glance before I kept the note back on the table. I proceeded to straighten out the bed and arrange the suite. What was the point in leaving it for room service when I could do it myself? Plus I was bored and had nothing to do. A

Amanda's POVAs I walked back to wait in the car, I felt a myriad of emotions hit me. It was obvious that Quinn was in a bad mood. He had acted very cold towards me. My first instinct was to feel slighted, but I knew he wouldn't purposely be mean. I sighed as I climbed into the backseat of the car and rested my head against the seat. From the window I could see Quinn discussing with a man, who I assumed was the potential client he had gone to meet. My stomach churned with worry as I stared at them. Was Quinn in a bad mood because the meeting didn't go as planned? Maybe he didn't get the contract. I felt a little sad at that thought, and immediately wished I had awakened much earlier so I could go with him. Maybe things would have been better. That was not to say that Quinn could not stand his ground. He could, better than any other businessman I knew. I had just become so accustomed to accompanying him to meeting that it felt like some kind of goodluck charm. I sighed again and wai

Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and thirty Nine
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

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

Amanda’s POV As Candace threw a tantrum, I fumed silently. That bastard! After everything I said to him he had the nerve not to go ahead with his wedding?What the fuck was wrong with him? He set the date for the wedding, all through the engagement party and till this day he didn’t think that he was not ready, up until the wedding day with a guest and a pregnant bride.What sort of humiliation was this? I darted my eyes to Candace who was throwing a tantrum, believing that I was behind this. That it was my fault. I couldn’t even blame her, I’d react the same if I was her.Her face was tear stained and people were beginning to come for the wedding and now the groom was having a mental breakdown that he couldn’t go ahead for the wedding. If this didn’t make the news, I wonder what would. Granny Mariah would be so pissed after all she put into the engagement party and wedding. Especially when she specifically told us to not make the news. I guess we would be on the cover of every ma

Amanda’s POV Since I outrightly confessed my feelings to Quinn, I’d been avoiding him. Not because I confessed the way I felt about him, but because he’d had this dark, grim picture of me in his head.Now as I thought back to it I could understand why he was mean, cold, cruel and rude to me all the time. And like the coward he was he couldn’t ask me. One would think he had more balls as he was cruel but it was so fucking balless.Putting Quinn and his thoughts behind me, I stood before the long length mirror in my closet and ran a hand down the red dress I had on.It was finally the day. Logan and Candace’s wedding. Thinking about it, I felt bad for her. I mean she was a bitch, but Logan wasn’t a man I’d wished on my worst enemy.Imagine getting married to a man like that.I grimaced and a shudder snaked down my spine in horror.Just when I was curling my hair my phone vibrated on the table next to my makeup tools. Flipping the phone over I saw Logan as the caller.I frowned, staring
