Second chance with my ex's uncle chapter 1
Shirley's POV “Water,” I croaked as I opened my eyes from the annoying beeping sounds coming from the machines around me. I knew I was in a hospital. Why? I didn't know but I hoped someone would tell me soon. My whole body hurt like hell and my throat was dry. “Water,” I grunted and coughed in a bid to clear my throat but it didn't work. It felt like something was stuck there and wasn't coming out. The door opened and I leaned up to see my mother, Sharon walking in. “Oh dear, you're awake!” She rushed towards me and smiled. “How are you feeling?”“I need water Mum,” I groaned and she quickly poured me a glass from the jug sitting on the nightstand. “Hold on, let me help you sit up.” She placed one hand behind my head and the other was to support me as I struggled to sit up. “There you go,” I thanked her as I brought the glass to my lips and drank. “I'm sore all over. What happened?” She placed the glass on the nightstand and took a seat by the edge of the bed. “You don't remem

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?” Mum looked between two of us unsure but in the end, she sighed and walked up to us. “I'm sorry you had to find out this way Shirley but Amelia is my daughter.” My eyes widened and I coughed. “What are you saying?” “It's English Dumbo. You are just the adopted one and I had to pretend to be just your best friend so I didn't miss out on a donor for my failing kidneys.” She summarized and I staggered backwards. My ears began ringing badly and tears pricked the back of my eyes but I refused to give in. “So…let me guess, you all put on a good show so I'd willing donate my kidneys to you when the time came.” Amelia clapped her hands with a smirk. “Bingo! See? Now you're getting it.” I turned to look at Felix, my vision blurr

Shirley's POV I snapped out of my thoughts and pulled away just as the driver walked up to me. He frowned down at the little boy and pulled him away. “I apologise Miss but he must have confused you with someone else. He does this a lot so pay him no mind.” The little boy in question struggled against him and kept stretching to touch me. I sighed and leaned down, picking him up in my arms. Immediately his cries and protest stopped. “I'll just stay with him until he falls asleep.” The driver opened his mouth to argue but I shook my head. “If that's okay, of course,” I added as he struggled within himself. He gave me a curt nod and I smiled. “Could I get some dry clothes?” He sighed and nodded, motioning for me to continue walking. I adjusted the boy's head on my chest and started walking up the stairs again. Once we reached the top stairway, the little boy raised his head and pointed at a door. “That's your room mummy!” He yelled excitedly and started bouncing in my arms. I

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. “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. Had he been stalking me or something? “Adam will take you

Third Person's POV Shirley felt like she was hallucinating or suffering from a hearing problem. “Uncle Jackson?” Felix muttered as he let go of my hand. “What are you doing here?” Jackson ignores him and turned to the woman who was standing there, looking utterly confused. “Darling would you like to retouch your makeup in the car?” Shirley stammered. “I…there's…sure.” She eventually gave in and allowed him lead her to the car. Amelia pinched Felix's hand and glared at Shirley's back, envy trimming in her eyes. “How does she even know him? Why would he want someone as plain as her?” Felix was too stunned to pick up on the jealousy in her voice. “I don't know. What is he even doing here?” He turned to ask his grandmother but found that she had walked off. He sighed and patted Amelia's arm. “I'm going inside. Are you coming?” Amelia bit her lip and stared at the luxury car parked in the driveway. She smirked as an evil plan formed in her mind. “I'll join you,” Felix nodded and

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 leaving 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 him, 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 bed

Third person povJackson was pissed to hear the kind of question Felix asked him. He turned to look at Felix and smirked. “So I look like a child that doesn’t know what he’s doing?” Jackson asked. His tone was so scary that even Shirley shivered a little. Felix quickly turned his straight face into a smile. “Uncle, I didn’t mean it that way, I was only wondering why you decided to rush the proposal, you don’t even know the kind of woman she is.” Shirley was fuming while listening to what Felix was saying to his uncle, she knew Jackson isn’t the type to be easily manipulated but words like that can put a seed of doubt in his mind, the only good thing is that the marriage isn’t real. “Felix can you stop!” Shirley yelled at the top of her voice, getting the immediate attention of everyone. Amelia smirked sheepishly the moment she heard Shirley. “Are you about to show everyone the real you?” Amelia asked. “What? Haven’t you two done enough, you are married now, can you stay out of my

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

Shirley’s povWhile we were on our way back to the house I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him trying to imagine how he was able to tell that I was having my school reunion today and he came without telling me and even came with a flower, I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say, I made sure that Amelia and no one else ruins the kind of happiness I was feeling because it’s something I have never felt in a very long time. I was very pleased that he took the initiative to be there and he was really caring all through the time he was there with me, he made sure I was comfortable and even came with a flower. I turned to look at him and realized he was looking at me so I looked away immediately feeling very shy. “I shouldn’t have turned.” I said to myself while I was feeling too shy to look towards his side again after meeting with his eyes a few seconds ago. “Why did you not tell me about the reunion?” He finally asked. I have been waiting for him to ask me a question or tell m
Second chance with my ex's uncle Chapter 33
Writer’s povThe reunion was over before they knew it. They all headed back to their house and it was just Felix, Shirley, Jackson, Amelia and Micheal that were left on the table. “This has to be the worst day for me this week.” Amelia said with a faint smile on her face. She was so pissed and she wasn’t ready to hide it. She brushed her hand backwards, refusing to make eye contact with Shirley because she might try to do something stupid. “Why did you lie to them?” Shirley asked Amelia angrily. Amelia exhaled sharply when she heard what Shirley asked her. “Why do you always like to act highly of yourself? Why do you always have to make me feel so little?” Amelia asked Shirley angrily. Shirley was confused when she heard what Amelia said to her. “What are you talking about?” Shirley asked. She angrily stood up and walked to the toilet because she was not ready to start that conversation with Amelia. Jackson noticed what was going on even though he was having a not so friendly c

Shirley povIt is finally the day and I couldn’t tell Jackson last night about the reunion because he was having a very bad time, maybe it’s for the best, I should just go alone and think of what to tell them when I get there. I looked at the dress I brought out again and realized it might not be good enough, it’s better I wear the limited edition, if I’m not going with him I should still try to stand out.I picked out the dress and went into the bathroom to have my shower. When I was done showering I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. I wore something very comfortable and headed out of the room. Dylan wouldn’t be going to school today, he’s going to be homeschooled for the day so I didn’t bother trying to take him to school. “Good morning.” The maid greeted with a smile on her face. “Has he left?” I asked the maid.“Yes, not too long ago.” She replied almost immediately. I can’t even tell him about it even though he’s not going there he should at least be aware of it

Shirley pov I stared at his face waiting patiently to hear what he was about to tell me, he looked so serious which got me a little worried. “What is it?” I asked when he still wasn't saying anything. “I was invited to a birthday party.” I couldn't believe my ears, did he just want to tell me this? “Oh.” “Yeah, and you will have to come with me, it's a birthday party.” I dropped my spoon mistakingly the moment I heard what he said. “Look, I know that was not the agreement we had, the only reason why we are here together is because we wanted to help each other, you take care of the kid, while I your family issues, but this is….” “Why are you explaining so much, there's nothing wrong about attending a birthday party with you.” “Are you sure about what you're saying? Thought you dropped the spoon because you were shocked.” “No, that was a mistake. It's a birthday party so I'm in.” I said to him with a smile on my face. I decided to concentrate on Dylan since he is st

Shirley povJackson was finally conscious after some hours. I was relieved to see him healthy again. I can't believe I almost killed my husband just because I didn't know what he's allergic to. “I'm so sorry about this, I shouldn't have tried to act like I knew you too well.” I apologized to him sincerely.“It's fine, you don't have to be guilty, how were you supposed to know that I don't eat apples when I never said anything about my allergies to you? At least now you know.” Jackson said to me and smiled.He sounded so calm and he wasn't angry at all.Though I was feeling guilty but after hearing what he said I felt better, he was completely understanding and that made me feel good.While we were at it the nanny called my phone, I was wondering why she was calling because I had settled everything for Dylan.“Ma'am, Dylan has been crying since he got back from school, I have tried practically everything to calm him down but he's still crying, I don't know what to do anymore.” The nan

Felix povWhile we were on our way back to the house I was so upset that I wanted to return to the house and give Jackson a slap on the face. The whole thing was frustrating, the fact that he always thinks he can speak to me the way he wants all because he's richer.“What is going on Felix?” Amelia asked with her hands folded around her chest.“What do you mean?” I asked her angrily. She just comes up with stupid topics every time.“I am talking about the eye movement you were doing over there, do you think I didn't see the way you were looking at her?” “I don't know what you're talking about.” I replied to her and faced the other side of the car.I was still very upset so what she was saying didn't mean anything to me.“Felix!” She yelled angrily.“Stop the car.”Said to the driver because I might have to take a cab back to the house.“What is it Amelia?” I asked angrily.“You want to pretend you don't understand what I'm talking about when I clearly saw you staring at her. If you ha

Writer's povJackson was still very upset with the way things eventually played out, he didn't say anything to his boys while they were heading back to the house, this gave them the signal that he was not fine. “Boss, you should have let me blow up their head, how dare he think he can fool you?” One of the boys said trying to make Jackson feel better but he just couldn't care less about what they were saying, the only thing that concerned him was the fact that he couldn't do anything to them after seeing the other hidden cameras they hid in the place.“Someone is plotting against me.” The driver stopped the car the moment he heard what Jackson said and the other boys turned to look at Jackson in disbelief because why would anyone be so fearless to try such a thing?“who would dare?” One of the boys asked still finding it very hard to believe that anyone would want to set Jackson up knowing the kind of person he is, if he was not so smart he would have fallen for the trap, good thing
Second chance with my ex's uncle chapter 26
Writer's povJackson noticed that Shirley's eyes were fixed on something in particular then he realized he was still holding the gun he was with earlier. “Oh, sorry.” He said and fixed the gun into the bag he was holding, even though he did that, Shirley was still scared, the fact that he had a gun around the house is what scared her the most. She didn't know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to marry him that day.“The doctor called and said you visited.” Shirley was still trying to recover from the gun she just saw and so she was unable to think clearly. “Shirley, did you hear what I just said?” Jackson asked her.“Sorry, what did you say?” Shirley asked.“Look, I'm sorry if I have been mean and rude to you, it's just that I have a lot to deal with these days and it's mentally draining me.” Shirley was not in any way focused when he was talking, she just smiled and raised her head to look at him.“It's fine, what were you saying?” She asked again curiously because
