Marrying the Ex Uncle Ninety Eight
Amanda's POVWith nothing left to do, I headed back upstairs. The thought of the digging I'd decided to do regarding this family issue was still on my mind, so I made a note on my phone of the things I wanted to check out. But for now I needed proper rest and sleep. As soon as I got to the room, I pushed it open and walked in, only to be met with the unexpected sight of a shirtless Quinn. He was drying his hair with a smaller towel while the other one wrapped firmly around his waist. My entire body seemed to come alive at the sight of him in all his glory. I could not tear my eyes away from him, making my point again that I was still so affected by him. This was more triggering than I'd expected. What was he doing in here anyway? I'd heard him say he would be in his study while we were at dinner. That was why I'd even headed up now, with hopes that I would not have to see him. But that had been dashed away already. Tearing my eyes away from him and managing to not focus on his wet b

Quinn's POVAmanda was not stirring. She lay lifeless in my arms as I ran out of the room and headed down the stairs. All the servants in the hallway froze when they saw what was going on. “Open the doors. Now!” I growled at the closest maid. She obeyed and raced to the door. By now, the others had begun to run out as well. “Quinn, what’s going on?” Granny Maria asked, her eyes wide. When she saw the state Amanda was in, she gasped. “Oh my god, what happened!” “I don’t know. I woke up and found her like this. I’m taking her to the hospital right now.”“Okay, hurry! I’ll be right behind you!” I rushed outside to the car, my heart racing as I silently prayed that she would be fine, that everything would be okay. I couldn't lose her, I just couldn't. As I put her in the backseat and headed to the front to drive out, the reality of this situation hit me. If anything happened to Amanda, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. The last feelings she felt toward me was anger. Was that really
Marrying the Ex Uncle Hundred
Amanda's POVThe moment I opened my eyes, I knew I wasn't in the closet. The bed beneath me felt different, and my body felt like I had been thrown out of a moving vehicle. I was hurting all over. What the hell happened? The dreadful smell of drugs and disinfectant hit my nose before I even knew I was in the hospital. What the hell was going on? Why was I in the hospital? I sat up on the bed and stared at the needle in my arm. How did I even get here in the first place? I tried to recall what had happened but my brain was blank. The only thing I recalled was heading into the closet to sleep after my argument with Quinn last night. Everything else after that was a blur. "Ma'am, you're awake," someone said. I looked up to see a nurse smiling down at me. "How are you feeling, ma'am? And discomfort? Any pain?" "I feel tired but that's all.""Okay," she said, scribbling onto the note in her hand. "Your husband is waiting outside for you. He'll be here soon." "What happened? How did I
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and one
One Week Later Amanda's POV I woke up feeling hollow and bruised in ways I couldn't explain. Everything felt agonizing, even down to the way Quinn had barely looked at me since that day; the regret was practically written across his face. What kind of jerk sleeps with a woman and calls it a mistake the next day? I knew we weren't fond of each other, but that was too much, even for me. The night of our honeymoon might have changed something between us or maybe given us some bridge over the chasm we kept finding ourselves in, but I was wrong. I was completely wrong. It seemed as if things were worse than when we first met. Before, Quinn could look at me, even if he had something mean to say. The last few days, he hadn't taken a glance at me or said a word to me. I was being avoided like a plague. Apparently, it meant nothing to him. He made that clear, or maybe I was the fool for hoping anything between us could be real. It wasn't just Quinn, though. That day was Logan's day, in
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and two
Amanda's POV It was safe to say that Logan did not bug me anymore for the rest of the day. I didn't even set eyes on him until the official exchanging of rings between him and Candace. After the incident in the bathroom, Vanessa and I headed back to the party. It was still packed with guests, and I honestly just wanted to head up to my room and sleep. "I don't even know why the fuck I'm here," Vanessa hissed under her breath as we sat side by side. The official ceremony was yet to begin, so we were just lounging around till it was time to head to the banquet hall. "For emotional support. For me," I said pointedly. "Thank God you're here. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I would probably die of boredom or something." She smiled. "Well, I'm always here for you. You know that." Suddenly, her smile faltered. "But, wait a minute, you're good right? You're okay? You're not feeling tired or sick or anything of that sort?" She still hadn't gotten past my health scare
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and three
Chapter 103Amanda's POVThe first question that came to my mind was why Mrs Rosalina was walking towards me. I didn't want any trouble with anyone. I still didn't know what happened after Quinn left the hospital that day, and I had not even bothered asking. But I noticed that Mrs Rosalina had become even meaner for some reason. I did not miss the glares she threw my way, and the way she rolled her eyes whenever I began to speak or tried to make a point. I mean, she never liked me. But now it was just worse. For a second I contemplated walking away in the other direction just to avoid her. But it was already too late since she had her eyes fixed on me. I definitely was no coward, so I stood there and pretended not to notice. She finally reached where I was standing and I felt her eyes flit up and down as she observed me. "The event is about to start," she said. "Do you need an invitation? Don't you know you're supposed to be seated by now?"I looked around. "Everyone is still loiter
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and four
Amanda's POVMy blood was boiling as I sat on the table, listening to the ladies talking about me. Hearing rumors about myself was not a new thing, but these ones were so annoying that I nearly flipped. Angrily, I picked up a glass of champagne and tilted it to my lips, drinking from it and downing it all in one gulp. I can't believe this. Me, pregnant?! Where the hell did they hear something like that? The disrespect was so much that I considered standing up and leaving this damn event. It's not like I even wanted to be here in the first place, I was obliged to attend as the wife of the oldest son. But even that had gone to waste now because I wasn't even sitting with Quinn. I kept my back straight and tried to keep a straight face. The last thing I wanted those women to think was that their words were getting to me. I didn't give a fuck what they thought or said about me, and I would ensure they knew that. I was so angry that I could almost feel the fumes rising from my ears. "I

Quinn's POVAmanda's hands felt soft and smooth in mine, so delicate that I almost never wanted to let go. I had almost forgotten how much I missed having her hand in mine. It had only been a few days but for some reason it felt like forever. I longed to pull her close and kiss her, soft and passionately to make up for all the days I had been unable to hold her. When she emerged from the closet this morning clad in that beautiful dress that did wonders for her figure, I'd almost lost it. I couldn't get over how gorgeous she looked. I'd wanted to scoop her up in my arms and kiss her then, but I restrained myself from doing so. Instead I walked out of the room and waited for her in the car instead. Cursing under my breath and waiting in the car till she got there was not an easy task. I thought that was the last of it, the last of the torture I thought I would have to endure. But then we got to the venue. Amanda looked so beautiful, a vision in the midst of everyone present. All the ma

Gabriel reached his car, his hand hovering over the door handle as the sound of passing cars filled the evening air. He hesitated, his mind replaying the brief but tense interaction with Abigail inside the restaurant and the call he just received about his missing son.Leaving without a word felt wrong—cowardly even. After all, she had made time to meet him, however begrudgingly. With a deep sigh, he turned back, his shoes clicking against the pavement as he retraced his steps to the restaurant.Inside, Abigail sat at the table, her posture straight, her expression impassive as she stirred her drink absently. She didn’t look up immediately when Gabriel approached, but the faint narrowing of her eyes signaled that she was aware of his presence.“I need to leave,” Gabriel said abruptly, his voice strained with urgency.Abigail set her glass down and leaned back, her gaze finally meeting his. “What’s the problem this time?”“My son has gone missing,” Gabriel admitted, his tone sharp with

QuinnRobert leaned back in his office chair, rubbing his temples as he stared at the spreadsheets displayed on his computer screen. The day had been long and riddled with minor frustrations, but he couldn’t afford to slow down. Just as he was about to focus on the next task, his phone buzzed. It was the receptionist.“Sir,” the receptionist said politely, “there’s someone here who wants to see you. He says it’s important.”Robert frowned, briefly glancing at the clock on his desk. He wasn’t expecting anyone. “Did he give his name?”“No, sir. He just said it concerns something you’d want to see.”After a moment of consideration, Robert sighed and straightened in his chair. “Fine. Send him in.”A few minutes later, the door opened, and a tall, middle-aged man in a crisp gray suit stepped in. His expression was neutral, professional, but there was a sharpness in his eyes that immediately caught Robert’s attention.It was his private investigator.“Good afternoon, sir,” the man greeted,

Abigail sat in her office, her phone resting in her hand, the screen still glowing with Gabriel’s name in her inbox. The brief exchange weighed on her mind, stirring emotions she’d thought buried long ago. “Who are you texting?” Sarah asked, her tone casual but curious.Abigail hesitated, her thumb brushing against the phone’s edge before setting it down. “It’s Gabriel,” she admitted, her voice calm.Sarah’s demeanor shifted instantly as her expression hardened.“What does that motherfucker want now?” she snapped, her words laced with contempt.Abigail took a deep breath. “He almost died,” she began, her voice steady. “And I saved him.”Sarah’s reaction was swift and sharp. “You saved him?” she exclaimed, her disbelief apparent. “You should’ve let him die, Abigail. After everything he’s done, you should’ve walked away.”Abigail’s gaze dropped to her desk, her fingers idly tracing the wood grain. “He’s still Daniella’s father, Sarah,” she said quietly. “I couldn’t face my daughter

CASSIE I could not thank the stars enough for saving my ass earlier this morning, yet again. My heart was still pounding from the close call I'd had with Julia. Even now as I stood in my room alone, I muttered a prayer of thanks for the fact that I'd been able to escape that situation. I could only imagine the look on her face if she'd seen the text message. There was nothing I would be able to say or do in my defence. The secret would have been revealed in the worst way possible and my entire life would have changed in the blink of an eye. For the worst. "Thank goodness," I said aloud to no one in particular. Chills ran down my spine as I imagined all the scenarios in my head, all the possible things that might have happened if Julia saw that text from Tyre. She probably would have ripped my eyes out and had me arrested like she'd wanted to. I placed a hand on my chest as I sat down in bed and tried to take a breather. My life was already dramatic enough. This was not the time for
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and fifteen
Amanda I tossed and turned in my bed the entire night, unable to sleep. All I could think about was the situation I'd found myself in. Through the night I had so many different thoughts, wondering how I was supposed to get out of this at all. It was enough to bring me to tears, but I struggled to keep at bay. What was the point of crying when it wouldn't solve anything? I needed to find a solution to this. The fact that Tyre did not even believe that I didn't have anything to do with the proposal was my biggest problem. If Tyre of all people didn't trust me then who would then trust me? I sighed repeatedly, burying my head into the pillow and trying not to scream in frustration. If there was a way to prove my innocence, then that would be solved. But no. There was nothing. There were already things being used against me namely the business card from Luke, and the wad of cash. Thinking of the card reminded me that the maid was still threatening me and despite the situation I was cur

AmadaI was still stunned by what happened between Tyre and I a few minutes ago. As I stood in the middle of the room, still in shock, I clenched my fists, feeling the anger bubble through my veins. I had actually been so scared when I saw Tyre like that. It was the first time I'd ever seen him so angry. I was trembling so badly, and I couldn't shake the feeling that he would have hit me if I attempted to push a little harder. That was highly annoying and terrifying. Tyre was literally about to explode at me, and it was all because of that girl, Camila. At this point, all of this shit was happening because of Camila. I couldn't believe Tyre had gripped me like that without caring if he would hurt me or not. Just because I'd said he should kick Camila out of the house. Had I done anything wrong? No, I had not. I was in the right. Camila had gone to meet Luke after all, so that obviously meant that they were together. What other proof did Tyre need?"Fuck this!" I yelled angrily into

AmandaLuke sprawled to the floor as my fist connected to his jaw. He writhed in pain briefly before jumping back up to his feet, glaring at me as though he had a million things he wanted to do to me. I mentally dared him to do something, to give me an excuse to beat him to a pulp. "What the hell?!" He yelled, wiping the blood that had begun to leak from his nostrils. "That is just the beginning of what is going to happen to you if you don't stay the hell away from Camila," I hissed at him. "Camila is mine. You get that? She belongs to me. I don't ever, and I mean ever, want to see you anywhere close to her again. Else I'll make you pay, I promise you that."Luke wiped his jaw and spat to the floor defiantly. "So this is about Camila? Really? Well, it seems you have forgotten that Camila is a person, a young woman. She does not belong to me. You make it sound like she's mere furniture in one of your mansions. She can't be owned by anyone because Camila isn't property you can stake a

AmandaI was fuming. I almost let out a scream of frustration as I barged into my room and banged the door shut behind me. I was so angry that for a second I found it difficult to relax and breathe. "That…that stupid bitch!" I screamed, my fists clenched. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to hate Camila more than I already did, but oh I was so wrong. With each passing day she kept infuriating even more. I wanted her gone as soon as possible. I needed her gone! All she did in this house was constitute a fucking nuisance. She was a hindrance, a waste of space, an excuse for a woman, a gold-digger…I swore loudly, biting down so hard on my lips that I tasted blood in my mouth. The list of all the things Camila was, was practically unending. I could go on and on about her sneaky and disgusting behaviour. The girl was so irritating! I knew I would never make progress with Tyre if she remained in this house or in our lives for that matter. And that was why I kept trying my best to

QuinnI climbed out of the car and headed straight for Jason's chambers. The guards at the door stopped me. "He's expecting me," I lied. "I called him already."They nodded and let me pass through. The main room was empty when I walked in, but I heard voices coming from the study. Surprised, I approached the door. But when I heard a familiar voice speak, it felt like I had been dunked in ice. "But when exactly, Jason? I've been patient enough," I heard Selene say. A million questions flooded my mind. What was Selene doing here?!"A little longer, sweetheart. Remember the doctor already confirmed that you cannot carry a pregnancy. I'm just waiting for that omega bitch, Kylie, to give birth to my heir. Once that's done, you will take the child. And then we can dispose of her, dump her in the trash where she truly belongs."My knees grew weak. I could not breathe. Suddenly the world began to spin and I got the overwhelming urge to throw up. No, no, no. This can't be happening to me.
