My ex's uncle is my husband. 25: At Richard's Mansion
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

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...

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

Despite the rain, she was determined to go back home. When she picked up her cell phone, she saw the message but didn't suspect that Richard had seen her or even replied. Reading the words 'I miss you,' her insides churned. Despite still being curious and suspicious about the truth, she didn't feel excited about speaking to Taylor.

She was pushed to the ground but got up determined, advancing towards the boy, surprisingly showing some fighting skills.The boy fell to his knees, writhing in pain, and when one of his friends tried to attack Elizabeth, he extended his hand and stood up again, resisting the pain."You're going to pay for this!" he growled, trying to punch her, but she managed to dodge and immobilized him with just one move, twisting his arm behind his back."Ah..." he groaned as she applied pressure to his arm.The two boys moved to attack her but were pulled back by their shirts, abruptly falling to the ground. The boy recording backed away, still filming."Are you okay, Liz?" Gaby asked,

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.

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

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
