My ex's uncle is my husband. 23: Dark Secrets
Chapter 23: Dark SecretsElizabeth stared at him presumptuously and annoyed that he had stayed."How dare you?" she asked, continuing to dry her hair with the towel."You ask the same questions so irritatingly. Why not tell me why you need that data? I'm curious. What have you been up to?" he asked."It's nothing much. Have you heard of Miss Zany Bay?" she asked, raising her eyebrows."Every self-respecting businessman knows that woman. She's becoming well-known without even showing her face.""She's above you as well," she commented mockingly. "She's one of the main benefactors of the college. You're second, destined to be second.""Are you trying to provoke me? Because the Leblanc family is fifth as a benefactor of that university, so you shouldn't mock me."He coughed and changed the subject."True, shall we go out?""I didn't wait for you here to go out; sit down."He invited her to sit next to him, but she resisted."That kiss yesterday was a misunderstanding. Besides, you kissed

Chapter 24: Suspects and AssassinsElizabeth arrived home anxious, locked herself in her room, and began reviewing each document and its authenticity. There were all sorts of files, including money laundering. There was also a charity institution in Richard's name, which was a sham, used even for illicit activities."It can't be…" she murmured, her voice trembling. "But if my family gets involved with this man, it will be the end of everything we've built," she grumbled, getting up from bed determined to take the documents to her father. However, suddenly, she stopped to think.Taylor and Richard, despite being relatives, had a rivalry that was noticeable to everyone, and Elizabeth didn't know Taylor that well. Connecting the dots, she thought he couldn't be trusted since, unlike her and Richard, they had married transparently. However, Taylor was deceiving Emma

Chapter 25: At Richard's MansionRichard ordered Jayden to fetch Elizabeth, who wasn't expecting him to send someone to pick her up."Why did he send you?" she asked unenthusiastically."The location is a bit far; he thought it would be more suitable for us to take you there."She just shrugged and got into the car, sitting in the back seat, and they set off on a half-hour journey. When they arrived, she was speechless. Richard's house seemed like a palace; the enormous gates, the unique garden, but she could hardly imagine that the walls of plants a few meters beyond the garden were part of a maze where Richard loved to spend time. He was the only one who knew his way around there, as it had a single path and destination but could lead to many dead ends without an exit, making it impossible for anyone to leave. Even trying to climb over was futile because the top of the wall had plants with red m

Chapter 26: Drink and Embraces"What do I do with you..." he grumbled, observing her sleep in a relaxed manner."Sir?" Jayden called, tapping gently on the door without entering."Don't come in, I found her," he warned, a bit jealous because of the outfit she wore. "How could you be so reckless, Miss Leblanc..." he grumbled irritably."Please, leave me alone!" her voice quivered as she mumbled."Request denied!" he growled, displaying annoyance, and carried her.He knew there was no one else in the hallway. Jayden understood that he wanted some privacy, so he safely escorted her to her room while she continued to display uneasiness."You have to behave!" he grumbled as she pushed his face, although he wasn't even trying to

A Hint of JealousyShe sat at the table, remaining curious as Ailda stayed serious."You're jealous because he showed interest in another woman?" she suddenly asked, heading to the fridge to grab a jug of juice and bringing it to the girl. "You haven't had dinner yet. I thought you were asleep. How's Richard?" she asked, making her blush."What do you mean? Why would I know?" she stammered, nervous."He's your husband, weren't you in the same room?""Don't misinterpret. We only have the title, nothing more. He and I will never have a husband-wife relationship. Besides... I need a driver to take me home. It's not appropriate for me to sleep here.""How come? This house... maybe because of the circumstances of the marriage, you're in total denial, aren't you? But I assure you that Richard is not a bad man. Allow yourself to get to know him, and you'll see that behind that cold exterior is a man with a huge heart and values.""Do you think so?" she asked sarcastically."Isn't he?""I don

Chapter 28: LucidRichard remained close to Elizabeth for a few minutes as she stared at him fixedly in the eyes, displaying bitterness."I'm starting to understand you..." He smirked cunningly, not releasing her face. "Why not admit that you have feelings for me? You're just playing hard to get, right?" He asked just as he started feeling water droplets falling on them, signaling the beginning of the rain Ailda had warned him about."For God's sake..." She murmured mockingly. "Me, liking a man like you?"Richard skeptically smiled as he saw her eyes falter; she didn't even believe what she was saying. She tried to pull back and free herself from his touch when she lost balance, forcing him to hold her, placing one arm around her waist to keep her close to his body."You are simply fascinating...

Chapter 29 - SuspectThe scene could even be comical: a tall, well-built man carrying a moderately slender girl on his shoulders. She pounded his back and squirmed, trying to break free while he calmly walked through the dark hallway towards his room."You wretch, I told you I don't want to sleep by your side.""You don't have a choice," he grumbled, stopping in front of his room door.As soon as they entered, he threw her onto his bed and began undressing in front of her, noticing her wide-eyed panic while she tried to disguise the attraction she felt at seeing him shirtless."Stop!" she shouted when he was about to remove his pants."Childish!" he grumbled, heading for the bathroom."How daring," she whispered breathlessl

Jayden growled impatiently, following Ailda, but when they go out, they don't find her there."Did she leave?" Ailda asked, worried."No, she couldn't get out.""She was so scared, what happened?""She believes Richard is a murderer.""I told her she couldn't leave until he arrived.""That's exactly what I said. Get an umbrella, don't stay out in the storm like this," Jayden advised.He walk

Chapter 209: The Last Farewell Today at the mansion, everyone was excited, people came and went, both the Campbell and Leblanc families, employees went up and down bringing and taking things. The twins and Gaby were in Elizabeth's room, styling her hair and adorning it with pearl ornaments. It would be the most luxurious party ever seen. Richard and Elizabeth were marrying again, this time officially and grandly, so that everyone could witness this union and celebrate.After so many events, walking down the aisle to meet the man she loved was priceless. As her father led her slowly as if wanting to savor her arrival at the groom."Father?" whispered Elizabeth upon hearing her father's slight sniffle and realizing he was almost crying." Isn't this the second time I'm getting married?"That wasn't a wedding, it was a mistake of your father, right? But now I'm seeing my daughter really getting married, to someone she loves, I'm just a grandfather now." declared Zeus, holding back tears.

Chapter 208: Implications and Departures."You know..." sighed Brian as he saw Emma, who stared at them with disdain." When you don't talk about the devil, he shows up anyway, doesn't he?" he asked seriously.The twins, in turn, got up and went downstairs together, barely noticing that the Leblanc brothers followed them while smiling and chatting."What are they talking about?" whispered Brian. Then, they subtly approached when the twins sat at a table in the cafeteria and stealthily listened."You shouldn't think about it, it was right to throw those coats away at that moment. Besides... Think about it, do men like them have anything good to offer? You saw, they attract the attention of all women all the time." she commented with disgust."But isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian, whispering, astonished."True, you know, men like that are after every woman they can find. There's no value in that, and I say this because they kept staring at us the whole time. We're nothing but toys,

Chapter 207: A Pregnant Woman in a Scorpion NestShe rested her head on those wooden planks, holding her belly, thinking she would be alone at that moment. Besides the risk she was taking by being in an old house in a forest, it was obvious that there were insects and wild animals around. So, she tried to stay still, even more so when she saw an unpleasant insect just inches away, making her spine tingle. After all, how many more were there? She closed her eyes in terror. It seemed that under that house had become a shelter for scorpions. So, she even tried not to breathe, even with panic.At such a critical moment, she truly thought she was going to die, until she heard the door of that old house open abruptly."Oh Heavens... He never fails..." she sighed in relief."Stay still!" Richard asserted upon seeing the scorpions crawling over Elizabeth."Save me... Please..." she pleaded, holding her breath."It's okay... Just don't move." he said, keeping calm and carefully removing the sc
My ex's uncle is my husband. 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed Walk
Chapter 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed WalkElizabeth was already nine months pregnant, and with each passing day, she became more anxious. It wasn't because she eagerly awaited the moment to see her daughter, but rather because, after months in that mansion, even with so much entertainment, she was eager and longing to go out and take her last walk alone.The twins were wandering around the mansion's premises, and as usual, they always went to see Elizabeth."You can come in," announced Elizabeth when the twins knocked on the door."Are you going somewhere?" the girls asked, a bit confused to see her already dressed and drying her hair."I'm thinking of making a brief visit to an old place," she said thoughtfully."You're not thinking of visiting someone, are you?" Kemilly asked suspiciously."What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked, confused."We heard that Taylor is paralyzed, unable to move anything from the waist down. It's a pity for someone so young and handsome.""Why would

Chapter 205: Visiting my former marriageDuring that same period, Taylor was now living with his mother. She took him to her home, even though it was a simple place. Now he had to accept that this was his fate, being completely ignored by his father, who didn't even visit him. Coralie now sat daily in a chair in front of Taylor's bed and dedicated herself to feeding him."Do you know I can feed myself, right? Why do you keep doing this?" Taylor asked, annoyed."And I want to take care of my son, as I never could before," she grumbled as he refused to eat."You don't have to, just leave and let me die. We can't even live in this place, no money, no life, nothing. That bastard who claims to be my father only defends his own interests.""I'm here. Besides, I know how to get money, so don't worry.""How?""Let's just say I made a great friend, even when I was practicing evil," she smiled tenderly. "At least she says she never made a mistake when she chose to trust me.""I abandoned you. S

Chapter 204 - Ambitious and InsistentAs soon as the girls received Elizabeth's message, they didn't think twice before rushing to meet their mother and uncle to share the news and their decisions at that moment.Richard was gathered in the garden with his sister Rayssa and Aloury. The girls talked to their guardians and asked for permission to go with Elizabeth."How come Elizabeth asked you two to go with her?" Richard asked skeptically."Actually, we asked her. We believe we can learn more from someone like her.""Did she say where she's going?"The girls shook their heads negatively."No, actually she said she didn't want you to know.""What am I to her? Is she always going to be avoiding me? Does she think it's fair while dragging my daughter everywhere?" he grumbled annoyed, leaving the twins confused."What do you mean? But if it was your son, why did you let Taylor bother her so much?"At that moment, Richard averted his gaze, showing shame."At first, he implied that baby was

Chapter 203: Things Seem to Be Falling into PlaceRayssa went upstairs to see her sister; Aloury still had no idea that her older sister had been rescued."Do you think she'll be happy?" Rayssa asked, leaning on Richard's arm as he escorted her."You can be sure, just the two of us was a bit lonely.""I heard she married that man, now that I'm back, I'll have to face a divorce while her marriage will be annulled," she sighed thoughtfully."Indeed, it seems our family has a karma related to marriage annulment.""Why? Speaking of which... Elizabeth is your wife, right? Why didn't you bring her?""It's a long story, actually, a story so far-fetched it might take days to know it all," he suddenly commented, remembering the time he was kidnapped.He smiled awkwardly at the thought that it was his grandfather who did that; he was now sure that Rayssa and Aloury's encounter was more dramatic than expected, filled with Aloury's remorse and regret, now that she was lucid. She had awakened from

Chapter 202: Elizabeth's DepartureThe twins eyed each other cautiously, silently communicating with their gaze. Emile nodded in agreement to what Kemilly indicated by looking towards the grand entrance, then turned to his sister."Let's take you, since you can't walk...""No!" Kemilly asserted, using all her strength, pulling her sister and running into the hospital, leaving the two men stunned."What's going on?" Brian asked, furrowing his brow as he watched the girls struggling to run."Interesting, I expected them to jump into our arms instead of running past us..." "Oh... I guess we're quite presumptuous, but perhaps there are really tough women out there in the world," Brian commented, interrupting his brother and suppressing a laugh."Did they make it seem like a game?" Ryuk asked, sliding his thumb over his chin with a light smile, much like Brian.The twins ran to Elizabeth's room, finding her things already packed, feeling disappointed to see her leaving."You're leaving wi

Chapter 201: An Old Problem.She smiled disappointedly, took a deep breath, gathering courage for what she wanted to say."Just forget it, I'm not going anywhere with you. If you think she's not yours, I don't want you to assume a responsibility that isn't yours," she said calmly, not even looking at him."Even if she doesn't have my blood, it doesn't mean I can't love her as a legitimate daughter, Liz... Don't keep rejecting me..." he tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away."Excuse me," Eliza entered the room, interrupting the conversation."I'll let you two talk..." Richard announced, albeit unwillingly."Why are you treating him like this?" Eliza asked, concerned."Because he's stubborn. Clearly, he's doing this out of pity. He wants to accept this child not because he loves me or loves this child, but because he feels sorry for everything I've been through. But the truth is, I've realized that nothing happened between me and Taylor.""What do you mean?" Eliza asked, intereste
