Marrying the Ex Uncle Sixty five
Amanda's POVI had never felt more protected than I did as Quinn put his arm around me and led me through the streets of Italy. This wasn't the part of Italy I'd been to when I first came here, so I was given the opportunity to feast my eyes on the buildings and monuments in the beautiful city. It felt like a dream. And it didn't help me that it had a romantic vibe to it. It was hard enough blocking out the thoughts I was having about Quinn already. The romantic setting was just making it worse. When we reached a row of benches, Quinn and I sat down. I took out my phone the moment I remembered to text Vanessa back. Quickly, I shot her a quick text, telling her we were in Italy, and asking her how she was doing. I also asked her how her day was going. She wasn't online, so I put my phone away and shoved it back into my purse. "We'll wait for the private car here," Quinn said when we finally stopped. I was about to ask him why we couldn't just take a taxi to the resort when I remembe

Amanda's POV"No fucking way," I whisper yelled at Quinn. "Right back at you," Quinn responded. We glared at each other for a few moments before Quinn moved away to make some phone calls. No way. There was no way in hell I was sharing a room with Quinn. Back in New York, it was already a pain being tossed into that uncomfortable closet of his to sleep in. But at least I didn't have to see his face. But there was no way I would do that here. And neither was I very keen on sleeping in the same room, especially not after what he did today. I'd rather sleep on the street. Quinn returned a few minutes later. "All the nearby hotels are fully booked," he said, frowning. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, wanting to tell him to not look so disgusted. I wasn't exactly happy about this arrangement either. I bit back everything that I wanted to say. There was no use bickering. It wouldn't solve a thing. "We have no choice but to go. Tomorrow I'll drive out and see if we can find other opt

Amanda's POVAs the bathroom door shut behind him, I cursed whatever made him come back to the airport after he left the first time. Why did I ever think I wanted him around? What on earth got into my head to deceive me? Having him here was a nightmare. I would much rather he was in Finland attending to business. What a prick. I shut my eyes and imagined what it would have been like if it is was just me in Italy. I would be alone in this suite, getting much needed rest, in peace. I could even see a movie, or just sleep until the exhaustion buried deep in my bones dissipated. There was so much I could be doing. That wonderful beach, the excellent view, all the touring I would have been doing. It would have been the perfect vacation. But no. Quinn just had to change his mind at the last minute. Playing the caring husband, my foot. He just wanted to be in the control, that was it. The thought of me actually enjoying myself for two weeks did not sound right to him. Why should I be happ

Quinn's POVI awakened to the shock of Amanda curled up in my arms, her hand clutching onto my chest and her head snuggled into me. I spent the next few minutes just staring at her, watching her chest rise and fall, and listening to the lightness of her breaths. And for a second, my chest tightened. Even in the early hours of the morning, the sight of her was breathtaking. Taking her annoying nature out of the equation, Amanda was the most beautiful woman I had ever set eyes on. She had a freshness about her beauty that was rare. Maybe it was her thick, long lashes, or the beautiful color of her curly red hair. But whatever it is, she was gorgeous. I had a revelation of sorts last night. I mean, I'd known she was a beautiful woman, but last night made me realize just how gorgeous and sexy she was. At that thought, my eyes immediately flew down to her lower body. Fuck. I swallowed. Hard. She was still clad in that flimsy nightdress that made me have unclean thoughts for almost the

Amanda's POVYesterday was a rollercoaster. After my little argument with Quinn in the morning, I had kept my distance from him, not speaking to him unless he spoke to me. But I was so bored later on that when I saw him dressed up in sportswear to head out, I almost begged to go with him. I was bored out of my mind and had nothing else to do.To my surprise, he agreed, and we ended up having a tennis competition, which surprisingly wasn't so bad. We both had fun for the first time without bickering every few minutes. And it felt…good. Right now, however, I couldn't help but expect the worst as I stood beside Quinn in the elevator. Waking up this morning, yesterday had felt like a dream, but I could see the white T-shirt I had worn lying next to the bed on the floor. I was shocked to my bones when he had agreed to my coming with him to the game court, and even more so when he began to converse with him. For a while, I wondered if he was in his right senses or if he somehow lost his m

Chapter 70Quinn's POV Amanda's fingers were still intertwined in mine. She had calmed down a bit from when the flight first took off, but she wasn't saying much. All she did was stare outside the window and then redirect her gaze back to the plane, but she made no sort of conversation. That was strange, especially because I was so used to her yapping. Of course I'd wanted her to stop, but now it just seemed weird. Well, whatever she wanted to do was her own damn business. I wouldn't concern with worrying about her. That's what I decided to do. But my gaze kept on lingering on her. What the hell couldn't she just say something, even if it was something annoying, at least so I'd know she was okay. Finding myself worrying if she was fine came as a surprise to me. Did I really care? And if I did, why? There was no particular reason why I should feel this way towards her. It's not like I bothered what state of my mind she was in. This made me recall the last time I had seen her like th

Quinn's POVI was still so surprised by Nikolai's words that for a moment I did not speak. Aside from my company employees and acquaintances in New York, no 0ne knew about Amanda. Hell, they had no idea I was even married to begin with. Let alone that I was bringing her to Finland. "My wife?" I finally said, leaving room for a response. I saw Amanda glance up curiously at me, but I didn't say anything. Instead I waited for Nikolai to speak. When he did, he only chuckled. "I should be upset that I wasn't even invited to your wedding, old friend. But I'm sure there's a g0od reason for it so I won't push. But did you actually think you could come to my city and keep it a secret? Like I said, I have eyes everywhere. So, don't be modest. It would be my honor to host the two of you."I laughed. "I must say, your intel is impressive, then. We've barely landed and you already know all there is to know.""Like I said, this is my city. I shall have your driver sent back. The driver I sent to y

Chapter 72Amanda's POVIt took all the self discipline I could muster to not gape and stare when we arrived at the hotel. Holy shit. I had never seen a hotel so magnificent. I could honestly just stand and stare at it. But what else was to be expected. Nikolai had an eye for detail. He was good. I actually couldn't wait to meet him in person. I glanced at Quinn at that thought, swallowing back the urge to roll my eyes. Whether he permitted it or not, I was going to attend that meeting. Consequences be damned. He was my fake husband, not my jailer. And I wasn't a child either, so whatever feeling he had towards my decision was his problem. I was already feeling a lot better. "Let's go. Mr Dayne will be meeting us at the lobby," Quinn said impatiently, grabbing my arm and intertwining it in his. I almost moaned at the feeling of his strong hands on me. What the hell? I was not that touch starved, was I? I shook off whatever the hell that feeling was and forced myself to feel repulse

Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and thirty seven
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
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
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and thirty
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
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and twenty nine
Amanda’s POV “You have to confront that girl. Put her in her damn place.” Vanessa stated. Her brows were pinched together from anger. I couldn’t blame her though, Miranda was a two time bitch that pissed everyone off.Hearing about her alone made your stomach tighten in knots and made you want to punch a fist to a wall or better still her face.“What could I possibly say to make her own up to the fact that she actually caused me to trip and pour the drink on the lady?” I massaged my temples as I asked.The horror of that day returned to me and I inwardly cringed and recurled back. The abject stare that granny had fixed me with tasted like a bile in my throat. I hated to let people who looked up to me down. Granny was one of those people. “What more is there to say? You know and she knows that you know. Grab her like the bitch that she is and warn her never to try that rubbish again.” Vanessa’s voice was hard and so was her eyes. I believed if Miranda was present right before us she
