Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and five
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

Amanda's POVI was still dumbfounded as I stood in front of the door, staring back at Candace. I couldn't believe that she had hit the nail on the head when she asked me if I'd been crying. Although I had wiped my face and my eyes and everything, I was sure my eyes still looked a bit red and puffy. That's what would have given me away. I still didn't know what to say to her. She was looking at me with her lips curved into a sneering smirk. God, this was terrible. I couldn't even wipe my eyes right now to remove any last bits of the tear stains that might be on my face because that would only assert her suspicion further. Candace was the very last person I wanted to see me crying my eyes out, in such a vulnerable state. It was worse because she would keep commenting on it if it turned out to be true. I wouldn't live it down and all she would do was mock me repeatedly until she had enough. I didn't have the energy to deal with all that, so I forced my face into an indifferent expressio

Quinn’s POV “Are you kidding?” I scowled and peered into her eyes, “there’s a family event going and you want to what? Leave right in the middle of it?”She broke our gaze and stuffed more clothes into her duffle bag. “I’ll have you know, Quinn, that I don’t care!” “I see, and you want to take with you that bag so that everyone will know that our marriage is fake? You might as well announce it in the media.” My voice took a colder edge than I expected.“Quinn!” She yelled and whipped her head to face me. Her eyes were defiant and she held the duffel bag loosely in one hand.“This contract….us..” she gestured between the both of us. “Is all I have thought about. I know about the contract, as a matter of fact I can’t forget about it but there is no fucking where in the contract where it is stated that I couldn’t have a damn break from it!”I held her form in silence.“I need some fresh air, a break from the contract!” She brushed her hair back and blew out raspberries. “Everything abo

Amanda's POVThe moment Miranda walked into the room, a strange feeling hung in the air. It wasn’t just her striking beauty. It was everything about her. The ideal woman. Miranda was tall, poised, with a confidence that made her hard to ignore. She seemed like the type of woman that heads turned for whenever she walked into a room.I could see it in the way Quinn's entire demeanor shifted when she walked in. He wasn’t cold or indifferent, like he usually was with people he didn’t care about. He was... affected. They had a serious history, and I want to find out what is. What is special about this woman? What was special about their connection that even Quinn seems affected.I was filled with so much envy. I started feeling less than. Her sharp gaze scanned the room, landing briefly on me, before drifting back to him. “Quinn,” she said with a small, almost teasing smile. “Still just as charming as ever. How have you been all these years? I’m sure you’ve missed me, hmm?” She winks and n

Quinn's POVI was so shocked that I couldn't believe what was happening right now. If anyone told me I would ever see Miranda again, I would have called them a liar. Seeing her walk through the doors sent a jolt of shock through my entire being. It was the last thing I ever expected, and she was the last person I ever expected to see. It felt like seeing a ghost, like watching an old part of your life just come back in so suddenly. For a second I couldn't do anything other than just stare at her in shock. I was startled, unsettled, surprised, a bit pleased….as a matter of fact I was feeling so many emotions at a time that I couldn't put my finger on it. I tried to remember the last time I ever saw Miranda and it seemed like such a long time ago. When she'd begun to talk, I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to understand what this was about. So I grabbed her arm and led her out of the room, dragging her down to another part of the house where we could be alone. And now as we stood

Amanda's POVMy mind reeled back to the girl. Miranda. That was her name, he called her when she arrived. The pure look of astonishment and pleasant surprise was an image that was hard to put out. And not to talk the way he pulled out of the meeting.My gaze drifted back to my duffel bag by the door and I remembered my pre-plan of getting away. That didn’t seem to bother Quinn anymore. He had been so intent on stopping me before but as soon as this girl arrived, he seemed to have forgotten all about it. I waited for long before I shot up from the chair where I sat, staring at the door. Half expecting to open to a pair of green eyes and stoic face.The thought irked me and a temporal shudder ran down my spine. My duffel bag was still where I kept it. Quinn didn’t come back after a while and I couldn’t help but ponder if the contract still mattered to him now that his ex was back.His supposedly hot ex that he couldn’t be with was back. Now that his father was dead, would he go after he

Quinn’s POV Amanda was strange in all the best way possible. She didn’t always do what I expected her to do. The only reason I wanted to go to the party was because I’d thought she would be going but it turned out to be she didn’t want to go.It was an intrusive thought, but I imagined how lovely Amanda would look all dressed up. She was beautiful, obviously. But the sheer thought of seeing her in a long lovely dress that showed all her curves, sitting in all the right places made me twitch.Furthermore, why hadn’t she rebuffed me when I called her a prostitute. Following the normal human reaction, she would have thrown a fit and called me out. But she did neither.Maybe she was exactly just that, a slut. There was no need to cause a fuss when it was, as a matter of fact, true…Or, she just didn’t have the energy proving to you that your intuition of her was wrong. A voice chipped in.It wasn’t just an intuition. My personal investigator had confirmed it. But why did I care? I shoul

Amanda’s POV Just as I’d expected, both of them were together. It would look as though they couldn’t spend time apart. I mean she just arrived and they were found in the same place.They were here parading around. And Quinn encouraged it even after knowing that we were married even if it was just on papers.The more I thought of it, the more it irked me. Did he not care for the contract? Did he not care what the press would publish when they saw them together? Right after granny gave a specific warning to keep away from drama and anything that would land us in the media house and make headlines. How did he become so reckless?Love! The words tasted so bitter in my tongue that I almost puked.Quinn and I locked eyes. He was about to dive into the water. My eyes darted to a splashing Miranda in the water, gasping for air. If she couldn’t swim, why then, did she get in the water. I eyed her in the pool splashing and yelling out to Quinn.Everyone just stopped and stared. Why did no o

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
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and thirty six
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

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
