Second chance with my ex's uncle

Shirley's POV“You're just a spare tire,” Amelia said. Her usually cool voice was now bitter as her eyes flashed with hatred. “What are you talking about?” I choked, refusing to believe it. She turned to my mother and smirked. “Mum, you want to do the honours?” “Sorry darling, I already told her but she’s just too slow to understand what I was talking about. I became confused all over again, “what are they talking about? What did she try telling me that I didn’t get?My eyes widened and I coughed when I finally realized what they were talking about. “What are you saying? Oh my goodness, where's the camera, fine y'all got me, please round it up cos I'm losing my mind right now.” I said to them but no one moved, they didn't act like I was talking to them, then I figured out Felix was standing there looking at me with guilt, mom and Amelia looked cold. “It’s true?.” “It's English Dumbo. You are just the adopted one and I had to pretend to be just your best friend, mom had twins, sho

Shirley's POV He chuckled, the sound both mocking and intimidating. “You won't,” I blinked. “Excuse me?” He cleared his throat. “You won't refuse because deep down you know you need my protection.” He stood up from the table and walked back to his seat. “You're all alone now. Your family and everyone you ever cared about betrayed you. Your whole life is a lie and you are angry. I can help you get revenge against them.” I sucked in a breath, his words opening up the wounds that were beginning to heal. And he was right, I was alone and didn't have anyone. “You can think about it but you don't have time. I do always get what I want and seeing as my little boy is convinced you're his mother, I will make sure it stays that way.” I shivered and swallowed saliva. “I need to go and prepare for my day..” I whispered as I staggered to my feet. “You're attending Yvonne Steel's birthday party.” He announced and I whipped around in shock. Has he been stalking me or something? “Adam will ta

Shirley’s povThe next morning. I woke up very early in the morning and sat up on the bed while yawning with my hand covering my mouth. I suddenly had a flashback to what happened last night. My heart started beating faster than normal then I placed my hand on my chest. “I can’t believe he actually did that yesterday.” I muttered and placed my hand on my head feeling conflicted. The more I tried not to think about it the more it lingered in my mind. I heaved a sigh of worry, there were so many things to consider, which is why I was living more in accepting then rejecting it. Seeing how arrogant Amelia has become because she succeeded in getting Felix. I thought life would be very difficult for me if I don’t accept Jackson, they’re going to keep rubbing it in my face that they were able to hurt me. But considering what he does, Jackson is a dangerous Mafia, my life could be in danger living with him. I was getting frustrated and tired thinking about everything, I fell back on the b

Shirley’s povI still can’t wrap my head around the reality that I would be getting married to Jackson, so many things were going on at the same time and there’s Dylan too, whom I need to consider before doing anything because of how much he likes me. I patted his head softly as he was laying beside me because he refused to sleep in his room last night. He wanted to spend time with me here. Today is the wedding and I am not even sure I’m taking the right step. I gently got up from the bed and headed out of the room, by the time I got to the sitting room, it almost looked like a completely different place. How were they able to set up immediately? The sitting room was used as the hall for the wedding tonight. Yvonne wants it to be just a small gathering of people. She didn’t want a crowd so she chose to use the house and there’s no one that can object to her decision. I rushed back to my room, it’s really happening. I’m really getting married today. I rushed into the bathroom to t

Shirley povI was still very mad at him for leaving me like that at the party after he promised he was going to protect me from them no matter what the problem might be. I had to face my mom and my sister that way and also the other family members that are not in support of the both of us being together. When I got to the room I sat on the bed tiredly, I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t want to be there with them because I knew very well that they are not genuinely happy for me. While I was sitting alone in the room someone walked in. “Mom, are you not happy?” Dylan asked the moment he walked into the room. I had to put on a fake smile the moment he asked the question.“What are you talking about?” I asked, pretending not to understand what he was talking about. Dylan sat beside me and rested his head on my shoulder. Judging from the way he was behaving I could already tell that my actions were too obvious and his father might think I am not doing my own part of the bargain properl
