Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and eight
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

Amanda’s POV I watched him with a stunned silence. A retort danced on the tip of my tongue but I bit back on it. Rather I smiled sweetly and side stepped for his ex lover to join us.Miranda meandered her way to us. I was beginning to believe the girl did not have any decent clothes in a wardrobe.She wore a sleeveless short gown that stopped just before her knee. Her hair was packed up into a neat bun. I couldn’t help but think that she was endowed with good features.I scoffed and rolled my eyes.We were shown to a table for three. Three chairs went around a circular table that sat in the middle. Reaching the spot that had been chosen for us, Quinn pulled out a chair for Miranda to sit on.She flashed him a very sweet smile and muttered, “thank you.” She said in a sniveling tone. He offered her a clip nod with a side smile.What the hell?Just before he sat, our gaze brushed the slightest bit before it darted to a beaming Miranda.“Oh, Quinn, you’re still the gentleman that I knew

Amanda’s POV As I woke up I tried to shake off the strange feeling from yesterday. The embarrassment still tasted in my tongue like it was today and I cringed remembering how jealous I was. Over Quinn.Today was a new day and with a new day came new possibilities and a chance to start anew, putting yesterday behind like it never happened. Which should not have.I had a quick shower, opened the curtains to let the sun rays from outside escape into the room. Arranged my room and changed into some comfy clothes— a grey sweatpants and a black sweatshirt. Taking a brief look at myself in the long length mirror I heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes, Amanda, you have nothing to be ashamed of. It’s not like you did anything.” I nodded, agreeing. It wasn’t as if I’d emptied the wine on her like I imagined. So I’m good.I was going to try to avoid them and not stuff my face in their business. Nothing could spoil this day, not even Quinn’s ex-lover.But just as I opened the door to my room to step o

Quinn’s POVI stared at the police officers, my brows drawn. “You meant all the CCTV cameras were wiped off?” I asked as though I hadn’t heard him perfectly when he said it the first time.“Yes.” The police officer answered gravely. He also seemed to be disappointed and furious at the outcome. I could imagine how it looked on them; one word, incompetent.I stared at the computer screen before me. Confirming what the police officer had just said. “So there’s no way to get the people that attacked me?”“It would seem so, Mr. Quinn.” Answered the police officer. “Here.” He pointed at the camera footage and time and then provided a photo from his pocket. “The footage from 1pm was deleted. Not only that, the hard drive of the surveillance cameras are missing from that day.” He further explained.I stared at the jump in time. There was surveillance footage from 8am to 12pm but there was nothing after that. The next time started by 4pm. A whole three hours missing.“And there’s no way we can

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
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and fifty one
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
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and forty five
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, “
