Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and fifty two
AmandaI could not understand, for the life of me, how and why Luke was here in the first place. I had so many questions to ask him. He stood there staring at me for a few moments before walking forward."Hello, Camila. Finally I get to see you."I couldn't think of what to say, but I also couldn't leave him standing outside. That was even worse because he could easily be spotted. I had no choice but to invite him inside. At least he would be away from prying eyes until he had to leave. Surprisingly, Luke did not decline when I asked him to come in. I thought he would be angry at the fact that he found me here. Not like his opinion mattered, anyway. Hating that I had to deal with this coupled with what was already going on, I sobbed and led him into the mansion, walking straight to the living room and offering him a seat. I couldn't just leave him there regardless of how I felt. He was still a guest here, and guests had to be entertained. So I headed to the fridge and took out water

Amanda's POVI climbed into the small rental car I had hired from the automobile company on my first day here. It was cheap and old, but my only option for transport whilst I was in Italy. I started the engine and drove off in the direction of the diner where I would be working my second shift for today. My real reason for being in Italy was because I had been sent by the company I worked for in New York. I had begged my boss, who was also my boyfriend, to let me stay back this time. The business trip coincided with my father's memorial and it was not something I wanted to miss. However, he disagreed, arguing that I was the best person for the job since research was my specialty. Arriving here, I realized that this whole trip was just a waste of time. The investor I was supposed to meet with had canceled on short notice. So the one week that my boss was letting me stay here had gone to waste. I was so angry and tried to call my boyfriend, but he didn't answer. Frustrated, I decided

Amanda's POVStunned, I watched as my boyfriend kissed Candace passionately, a smile still dancing on his lips. "That's great news, baby. Now all I have to do is get rid of that boring ass bitch, Amanda. And then we can get married."Candace frowned. "You still haven't broken up with her? Why?!""Baby, I told you I need time. I'll do it soon."Candace shoved him away. "What the fuck do you need time for?! I don't even know what you see in that bitch, anyway. I let you date and fuck her on the condition that you keep your relationship a secret, but I've had enough, Logan!""Candace-""No. You've had your fun. Now, get rid of her. Besides, we both know you won't be caught dead getting married to a low-life trash like her."I couldn't take it anymore. The tears spilled down my face in rivulets, blurring my vision as I pushed the door open and barged in. Logan and Candace jumped in shock at my sudden entrance. "Why?! Why would you do this to me?!" My chest felt heavy, like it would expl

Amanda's POVI stayed at the hospital till nightfall, until I was certain that my mother was stable. It was 9 pm when I finally left her ward to find a place to sleep. I had no choice but to spend the night at the hospital, after all. Where else would I go? Those loan sharks had seized our house already. This thought threatened to bring tears to my eyes, but I blinked them back. I had cried enough for one day. I found a storage room full of light blankets, and I took two and spread them on the floor beside my mother's bed. I was just lying down when a nurse walked in. "Excuse me, ma'am, what are you doing?""I…I just want to spend the night here with my mother," I said, praying she wouldn't ask for more details on why I couldn't go home. The nurse shook her head. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but you're not allowed to do that." My chest deflated. "Please, it's just for tonight. It's already so late, and I don't have anywhere else to go.""It's against hospital policy, ma'am. Visitors aren't

Amanda's POVI froze at the spot, whipping around to look at the stranger. For a second I wondered if I'd heard right. Fresh anger filled me up as I clenched my fist, walking closer to him. "W-What? What the hell are you talking about? Are you seriously making some kind of joke?"He stared at me in that cold manner of his, and despite myself, I felt a chill run down my spine. Gosh, he was actually so scary. But I refused to give him the satisfaction of knowing that."You know what? I don't have time for this. Keep your games to yourself," I spat."Marry me," he repeated. "Be my wife for two years only. Of course you shall be rewarded handsomely for your service.""Rewarded?""Twenty million dollars. Half when you sign the contract, and half after the time lapses."My eyes widened, and I swore I could feel my mouth watering at his words. "Twenty million dollars?!"I stared at the man, wondering if this truly was some kind of game. I wondered who he was, and how he could afford such an

CHAPTER FIVEAmanda's POV"Gosh, Amanda, where have you been?" Vanessa asked the moment I walked into her apartment. She had been pacing around worriedly when I walked in. She rushed to my side immediately. "What happened? You said you were going to the coffee shop to look for another job. I got there and couldn't find you.""Um…I was just…I went strolling."Vanessa stared at me, her eyes narrowing. "You went strolling? You, Amanda, strolling?""Yes," I muttered, walking past her quickly and putting my bag down. Vanessa and I had been friends for years, and she was one person who always knew when I was lying to her. But what was I supposed to say? If I told her I'd gotten married today, she would slap me and probably take me to the hospital for a mental illness! I couldn't tell her…not now. "Really, Amanda? Are you being honest?""Mm hmm. I just went to clear my head."I know she didn't believe me, but she sighed. "Fine, okay. But next time please call me, okay? I was really worried.

CHAPTER SIXQuinn's POVI never thought I would be here again; in this city, within the walls of this company. It came with averse emotions I could not quite place. But nothing was more unpleasant than being here already.I had no plans to be back in my hometown this soon, and especially to take over the company. This was not supposed to happen, at least not for a few more years. But they left me with no choice. They had pushed me too hard, and now I had to take action somehow. Being close to these people was not on my agenda, but I realized that the only way for me to remain safe was to blend in and get close enough to my enemies.I gritted my teeth in annoyance. I had better things to do with my time than this. This whole thing had ruined my plans. I thought I would not have to worry about the company until I found someone deserving to get married to. But now the criteria stated that I had to be married before becoming the CEO, there was nothing else I could do. I had planned to co

Amanda's POVAll the anger that was raging in my chest immediately subsided at Quinn's mention of the check. For a few moments I could not speak. I stared at him mouth agape, wondering how on earth I was going to get five million dollars back. It was literally impossible!My mind racked with thoughts and options. Was there a way to get out of this? Being married to Logan's uncle was the strangest, most distasteful situation I had ever found myself in. But if the only way to be free of this was to return the money, what was I supposed to do? The only thing I could think of was taking out another loan to pay off Quinn. But that was a stupid idea. I had barely been able to get my mother and I out of the debt my father left. Taking another loan would be begging to be killed, at this point. I had to think of my mother, and of our lives. Once again I felt helpless. My eyes found their way to Quinn who was still observing me with that emotionless expression. A wave of bitterness flooded th

Amanda’s POV A secret? He killed my father because of some silly secrets? And my mother kept all this from me?My head was in my palm as a strong headache overcame me. It was as if the more I thought about it the more it throbbed, pulsated. I could hardly comprehend it.How could she keep this away from me, knowing this much. I married the son of the man that killed my own father. I think what was more shocking amongst all this was the fact that she watched me get married with him without so much as an eye bat.Call it what you might but I felt betrayed. I know she wanted to bury in the past, not scale out old wounds but she should have tried. She should have warned.Some part of me blamed myself as well. I should have listened to that little chipping voice that was whispering at me to turn back. To not work in that company. To not agree to the contract…..but without that, Quinn.Gods!I fisted my hair.The more I stayed here, the more my head swarmed with different thoughts. Accusat

Amanda’s POV Quinn was preparing for work. I immediately kicked up from the bed and ran into the bathroom. I wanted to join him to work. I loved the feeling of him driving me to work. It was cute and hot.I dashed into the bathroom and started showering. I skipped most of my routines. Just had a quick shower then sprinted out with the towel tied around my chest.Thumbling through racks of clothes, I fished out a white chiffon top with a fizzle at the hand. I brought out plain pants, a belt and my heels and a purse.I laid them out and began dressing briskly when Quinn turned to me. He stared, arched brow at me. “What are you doing?” His hand halted on his tie as he held my form in question.“What does it look like I’m doing?” As I asked I threw on my shirt, fastening my button. “I’m dressing so that I can join you for work.” I said like it wasn't the obvious.His hand dropped from his tie to his side and he faced me. “Work? Didn’t I tell you during last night’s date not to worry abo

Amanda’s POV After Quinn left, I was by myself, smiling like an idiot before I caught myself. I shook my head and palmed my cheeks. “Get a grip girl!” I reprimanded myself and snorted, and then I was grinning again.I groaned, there was no helping this. I might as well just let it be.While smiling, I reminisce the look of rapt shock on Mrs. Rosaline’s face. Then I suddenly remembered that Candace wasn’t present for breakfast.It’s been four days now and I hadn’t set eyes on her. The woman part of me felt bad for her. And to crown it all, she was pregnant after all the humiliation and there was her husband to be, swarming around me like a damn bee.I didn’t know what I was feeling, maybe call it, feeling euphoric, and stupid. But I wanted to check up on her. My feet moved on their own accords, and before I knew it, I was towing towards her room. Without so much as a ponder.I rapped on the door and she called in, thinking it was probably a servant or a maid. When she saw me her eyes

Quinn’s POV “You should have told me before you told them about our baby.” Amanda said, coming after me. She shut the door and sat on the bed with a bounce. She had her hand behind her whilst she looked up at me. The position suddenly ignited something feral inside of me.“You know your Aunty didn’t seem happy, only Granny was happy for us.”I leaned in, giving in a tad bit to the voice in my head. “I was just happy, feeling too in the moment,” I kissed her, a little deeper than I anticipated. Breaking away, I used my thumb on her cheeks to measure gaze with her. “I’m sorry, next time I’ll consult you before I take any action next time.”She waves it off, “it’s okay. I liked the look of surprise on their faces. Did you see the look on Miranda’s face?”“No, I didn’t,” I pulled her close, “I was too happy to notice anyone, honestly.” She brushed the hair that fell to my face back. “I just hope our baby will be safe.” The genuine worry on her face and her tone made me sit down rather

Amanda’s POV I woke up feeling a burst of euphoric excitement all over the air. The bed was still warm from Quinn’s presence. Lying on the bed, I grinned and spread my legs and arms wide on the bed. Everything felt right, felt in place. “Mmm,” I turned to the side of Quinn’s bed and tapped gently by his side. Grinning like I won the lottery. Inside me felt so light, like I could float to the sky, to the heavenss or better to the fucking galaxy.It was refreshing finally describing what we were. Putting a label to us. It felt like a breath of fresh air knowing my place. My indefinite place.All the questioning, all the unanswered questions and the burning fear was discarded. All that was left in its wake were colourful butterflies fluttering in the bosom of my stomach.What made me leave the bed was my phone by the bed stand. Next to the alarm clock. I grabbed it and rolled on my back putting a call through to Vanessa. My one and only fan. The fan of our ship since day one.“Hellooo

Quinn’s POV I couldn’t believe what Amanda was doing. Did she think that I didn’t know about the baby? I kept quiet, hoping she’d trust me enough to open up to me about the baby but she’d pulled a twister.When she’d called and said that she wanted to speak with me about something, I inwardly exhaled, relieved that she was finally coming to me with it, coming out clean but she instead suggested this.And what was that talk about finding love?I had learned about the pregnancy in the hospital. I was outside her ward when she asked the doctor to keep it a secret.“There’s no problem.” I said, much to her surprise. Why was she shocked? Isn’t that what she wanted?“You can go and meet the person you love, but make sure you give birth to my child first and give it to me before leaving.”Her eyes widened in shock, mouth agape with all the color drained from her features. She was stark with surprise. She opened her mouth and closed it, struggling to speak.I pushed up, tight hearted that she

Amanda’s POV I massaged my temples, sighing. Exhaustion and terror washed through me. This wasn’t the plan, this wasn’t stated in the contract. I wasn’t supposed to get pregnant.What was going to happen to me now? I couldn’t exactly raise a child alone. I mean I could, but work, life and my age. It wasn’t something I could do alone. And at the same time I couldn’t tell Quinn. Oh, I mustn’t.I didn’t want someone to stay with me just because I was pregnant. I wasn’t that selfish to force someone to stay with me for the sake of a baby.My eyes instinctively moved to my belly. We didn’t have a contract to get pregnant because he’d known that a grown ass lady wouldn’t be so stupid to let such a casualty happen.Our contract had not ended and wasn’t going to end any time soon. He would surely see that I was pregnant. It would be horrible, subjecting Quinn to something he didn’t want. And most importantly I didn’t want someone to be with me out of duty or pity. That wasn’t what I wanted.
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and forty three
Amanda’s POV As I stepped out of the house I felt woozy and my vision blurred out. I held my head to shake off the dizziness, just in the moment my eyes closed and the world spun around me. Just as I was about to fall, a hand caught me and right me. I held my head, closing my eyes for a bit.I inhaled, when I was sure my vision was clear and not drowsy anymore I peeled my eyes open to see granny staring at me. Her hand was stationed around my wrist.Her brows creased into worry, eyes accessed me.“Thank you granny Maria.” I said and she let go, after a moment of observing me.“Have you gone for the check up?” She asked and I stared oblivious to her questions and reason behind it. She spoke as if I’d discussed my dizziness with her. How did she even know?“I heard you complaining about dizziness over the phone.” She gave herself away.I stared keenly at her. My stare easily asked the question; have you been eavesdropping on me? She immediately added, prior to my questioning stare, “
