Spoiled By My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 157
Private hummed a tune to himself as he unlocked the door of his apartment and entered. Working for Laura was one of the most infuriating jobs he had ever taken, but he had no choice. He took off his shoes and dropped the bag of groceries he had just purchased from the store on the table to sort them out later. Next, he switched on the light in the living room and screeched loudly when he found someone sitting on his couch. “Hello, Private,” Xavier greeted his PI with a smile and wave of hand. His legs were crossed over the other and he looked comfortable, like he hadn’t just been sitting in the dark for who knew how long. “How did you come…? How do you know where…?” Private stammered, pointing a finger at Xavier as he stepped back in fear. “How did I come into your apartment? How do I know where you live?” Xavier completed for him. “Well to answer your questions, first, it’s private and second, it’s private as well. Since we’re both keeping secrets from each other, why sho

After Charlotte got off the phone with her husband, she sighed deeply and tried to find a comfortable spot on the bed. She turned and turned for moments, but nothing felt quite right. Groaning, she got up into a sitting position and placed her face in her hands. Kate had been knocking for close to thirty minutes, begging her to come out so that they could speak until she gave up and left, but that wasn’t what bothered Charlotte. It wasn’t even the fact that Caleb could be in possible trouble or that someone had hacked her phone and probably had access to all her private business. No. What bothered Charlotte greatly was the fact that Xavier was in the lion’s den and anything could happen. Charlotte scoffed and pinched the side of her thigh until it burned and turned red. Once again, all of this was just another perfectly orchestrated plan of Laura to lure her husband where she could get him, and Xavier himself was too oblivious to realize it. She exhaled and tucked he

Meeting Kate’s children wasn’t something Charlotte ever thought she would be doing soon, but there she was, getting to know Kiki and Kyle, Kate’s four-year old daughter and son. “I’ve heard so much about you,” Kiki said, beaming from ear to ear. “Me too,” Kyle said, not wanting his sister to be the center of attention. “Mom tells us about you every single day. I can’t believe you’re here.” Charlotte smiled at them and hugged them again. She didn’t let the fact that her sister always talked about her make her forget what she had done. After all, she could have said anything, whether good or bad. “It’s so nice to see you too,” she beamed. “You’re both so big.” The children chuckled. “It’s cos dad lets us eat junk when mom isn’t looking,” Kiki said. “Don’t tattle or else mom won’t let us anymore,” Kyle attacked his sister. “Alright that’s enough,” their father said, speaking for the first time since he got to the house. “Let’s get you both settled in.” While they left,

“He’s not answering. I have to do something,” Charlotte said, standing up with an uneasy expression on her face. “Hey, relax. There’s probably a reasonable explanation,” Kate said to calm her sister down. “Reasonable explanation? Xavier would never ignore my calls on purpose. I’m sure she planned for him to end up in her house, Kate. All of this.” Charlotte sighed and started to pace from one area in the living room to the next. “She could have just removed the post I made of Caleb from my page without me knowing, but she showed up first to threaten me so that we would all know she was behind it. She wanted him to confront her and now that he’s there, he’s suddenly not answering. This is no coincidence, Kate and there’s no reasonable explanation. I have to go there and do something.” “Calm down, Charlotte. We have to think. Maybe what you said is true, but showing up at her house is not really going to solve anything. What do you even think happened?” “She could have him tied

“Ma’am, this is private property. You’re not permitted to be here,” the security guarding the gate to Laura’s house informed Charlotte and her sister when they tried to get into the compound. “My husband is in there. I want to see him!” Charlotte announced and tried to push her way through forcefully, but the man held her back. “You can’t come in unless you have an appointment with Mrs Roman,” he said. “If you don’t, you can just go home and do whatever it is you women do.” Charlotte’s brow shot up in question as she shared a look with her sister. “Mrs Roman?” She repeated to be sure she had heard right. “I’m Mrs Roman.” “Well, so is the lady of the house,” the guard said with a bored expression. “So the b*tch never changed her last name, huh,” Kate said with a click of her tongue. “This makes things a hundred times worse.” “Look, my husband is in there and he hasn’t been answering his calls. I know he’s there because he told me and all of a sudden, he hasn’t answ

“How is he doctor?” Charlotte asked the doctor who had been in the ward Xavier was rushed to. He sighed and adjusted his glasses, making Charlotte’s heart beat in fright. “You’re lucky you brought him when you did,” he said. “The drug overdose may have damaged his organs or even gone to his brain.” A chill ran down her spine. “Is it okay if I ask you some questions?” She nodded. “Do you have any idea how those drugs could have entered his system?” He asked. “She drugged him. Laura, his ex wife,” she said with a small voice, uncomfortable because she had to answer these questions again. “I see,” the man said and scribbled something in a notepad. “It has come to my knowledge that this ex wife of his was also brought to this hospital. Is that correct ?” “Yes,” she said quickly. She wanted to know how soon her husband could be cured, not talk about the same woman who had put his life in danger. “If she was the person that drugged him, why then did she have more traces of it in

“So you’re saying my husband and this woman poisoned themselves on purpose just so they can be on the news?” Charlotte asked in disbelief. “The public is already obsessed with him. Even when he breathes, news outlets all over the world post about it!” “I’m not saying anything,” the doctor argued, raising his hands in surrender. “I was just giving my opinion…” “Well your opinion is stupid,” Charlotte said without thinking. But it wasn’t as if she even regretted it. “Excuse me?” “What’s the point of what you’re saying?” Charlotte pressed. “My husband is in the hospital in critical care at the verge of losing an organ and you’re here telling me, his grieving wife that this is all a PR stunt? What kind of doctor are you? If this how you practice medicine, I wonder how you still have your license.” The man’s eye widened momentarily as the looming threat hung in the air. Someone like Charlotte, with the power and connections she had from simply being married to Xavier could get his lic

“Xavier,” she whispered as tears filled her eyes. His heart rate was fortunately normal according to the heart rate monitor above him and his chest was heaving slowly, so that meant he was breathing fine on his own. “Charlotte,” Xavier whispered, opening his eyes. “Xav…,” she muttered, looking at him carefully. “Are you okay? How do you feel?” “Better now that you’re here,” he said with a smile as he tried to sit up. “No, stay…” “Relax. I’m not in any pain,” he assured her. “I’ve just been close to unconscious for so long because of all the drugs. How are you?” She sighed. “You asked me to call the police before you passed out and I did, but now they’re acting like my confession is ridiculous. Somehow they believe this is all a PR stunt you and Laura pulled to stay in the public eye.” Xavier began to laugh, making Charlotte puzzled. “Why are you laughing?” She asked. “I wouldn’t have expected any different.” “Then why did you ask me to call them?” “So that when I com

“It’s time for bed, Caleb. Let’s go,” Charlotte told Caleb with her arms crossed over her chest, giving him no room to argue. “Just let me win this game…” he argued absently, more focused on the game he was playing on his iPad. “You’ve spent your extra fifteen minutes,” she said, taking the device out of his grasp. He frowned, but conceded in the end. “Fine.” As Charlotte tucked him into bed, she couldn’t imagine how the times had changed. It had been six months since Laura had been taken away, her parents had been released and since she had started running her own business. Caleb had started therapy again, and it had definitely worked. These days, he spoke so often and did whatever he wanted to do that it was hard to believe he had been the same mute boy from months ago. He had just turned four, but the topic of his birth mother never came up fortunately. He seemed to blend right in, just as sweet and annoying as any other four year old boy. “I love you mommy,” he wh

When Charlotte saw Jonah being led out by a prison ward officer, she froze and started to wonder what she had been so scared about. He looked nothing like he did before. He had slimmed down to an almost unrecognizable state and his face looked like he had permanently lost the ability to smile. He walked with the slouch of someone that had given up on life in general. Charlotte doubted that whatever he was going through had happened in that prison in such a short time. “You can wait for me,” Charlotte whispered to Carlos who reluctantly left her side when he understood. “Hi,” Jonah said when he was sitting opposite her. He tried to smile, but it ended up looking like a grimace. He couldn’t meet her eyes. “Hi,” she said simply. She couldn’t let him see she pitied him. “How have you been?” He managed to ask. “You look good.” She couldn’t say the same for him. “Why did you call me here, Jonah?” “Straight to the point like always, huh?” He said with something she suspec

Xavier could only relax comfortably when they were back on the jet and on their way back to California. He could finally let himself be convinced that his dream had been nothing more than that. It hadn’t been a sign of anything, because it had gone on perfectly with no dramatic appearances from anyone. Unfortunately, the thought of one day running into Laura again came often to him and disoriented him. However, he always pushed that possibility away to the back of his mind. He had run a background check on the psych ward Don had placed her and from his research, it was a very exclusive place, so her chances of leaving were lower than zero. It was like a madhouse for wealthy people to drop off their family members who had lost it through drug use of whatever means. Their security was so prioritized that it was practically impossible to get in or get out unless the very owner of the establishment permitted. There was also no possible way Laura could bribe anyone there. It was afte

“Xavier, wake up! Wake up!” The sound of the female voice calling out to him sounded so distant at first, but the hand violently shaking his shoulders brought him back to consciousness. He was breathing fast, as his eyes got accustomed to the light around him, his chest heaving rapidly. “Are you okay?” Charlotte asked him, peering into his eyes as she touched the sides of his face. He could see the fear in her eyes as she studied him. “Charlotte,” he whispered, holding her arms and wrapping her in a tight hug. She was alive, here in front of him. “You’re alive.” “Yeah,” she said uncertainly, hugging him back. “Did anyone kill me?” She asked with a chuckle. He finally pulled out of the hug and glanced around. They were still in the jet, on their way to Orlando. He had just had a bad dream. “Where’s Caleb?” He asked. “Right here,” she said, pointing at a part of the jet where a small makeshift bed had been made for Caleb to lie on. “Is everything okay?” “Yeah,

After bidding Kate and her family goodbye, Xavier and Kate had to take the journey back, while consoling Caleb, who couldn’t understand why the twins had to leave without him. It was a Saturday, and for the first time in such a long time, Xavier had a free day. They all decided to spend the day together, to make up for Caleb’s friends leaving. Charlotte was extremely happy. She chatted and laughed all the way to the four seasons Orlando, where they decided to spend the day with their son, since he had seen a video about it online and wouldn’t shut up about going there. She held Caleb’s shoulders during takeoff in Xavier’s private jet, more to distract herself than him. No matter how often she rode in the jet, she still got jittery when they had to go anywhere in it. She had made an appointment with Dr Anna that morning and she couldn’t wait to finally carry out the surgery the week after. “Are we really going to Orlando?” Caleb asked, peering out of the window of the jet.

The ride home was mostly silent, with Xavier at the backseat, pondering on all that had happened that day while Carlos drove them home, shooting glances at his boss from time to time. “How was your break?” Xavier asked all of a sudden and Carlos cleared his throat. “Great. Thanks again for it. I really needed it,” he said with a smile. “How did it feel to have an actual conversation with her after so long?” Carlos sighed. “Not as bad as I thought. I actually feel better. Thanks for advising me to do it. We cleared some things out. She was mature about it and that’s that.” Xavier nodded and looked out the window at the trees that were zooming past. He remembered when Carlos had come to him for help when having to see Kate after the history they had was threatening to drive him insane. He had advised him to take a break, and then discuss with her when he was ready. It seemed to have worked. Carlos looked like himself again. It had been weird to find out that there had been a

“When will you come back, daddy?” Caleb’s little voice came over the phone and Xavier smiled. He could picture his son standing next to Charlotte and holding the phone to his ear with both his hands. “I’ll be there this night, I promise,” he replied. From the corner of his eye, he saw Private trying to get his attention. “Take care of mom for me, okay? I’ll see you soon.” “Bye daddy,” Caleb said and Xavier nodded before he ended the call. “What’s up?” He asked Private. “She’s causing a scene, boss. She’s yelling at everyone and she even pushed her brother and broke a glass on the doctor’s head when he tried to sedate her,” Private told him. There was an urgency in his private investigator’s voice as he reported to him, but there was also a hint of amusement in his tone. Xavier rolled his eyes and walked past him toward the ward he had left to answer his wife’s call. “Why was there glass next to her in the first place?” He asked no one in particular when he enterrés t

“My daddy used to beat my mommy before that woman took me and told she’s my real mommy,” Caleb explained the best way he could. “He told me he’s not my real daddy and that my mommy sold me to him.” “Wait, wait,” Charlotte told him. She had no idea what he was talking about and the more he spoke, the more confused she became. None of what he was saying made any sense. At this point, he was just throwing the words ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ around. “Laura, the woman that brought you to us, she’s your mommy, isn’t she?” She asked him slowly, hoping his answers would make sense to her this time. He shook his head. “That’s what she told me and then she brought me here after,” he said. “So you had other parents before she came?” She asked and he nodded. When Charlotte realized he wouldn’t give her an understandable answer, she decided to stop asking him so that he wouldn’t confuse her more. Since Xavier had gone out to find answers, this one might be one of them. She would ask him wh

“Mommy!” Caleb squealed when he saw Charlotte and ran up to her. She carried him up and enveloped him in a tight hug. She was still not used to him calling her ‘mommy’, but hearing it was so natural and calming. Whenever she was with him, she secretly hoped something would happen to Laura or that she would say she didn’t want him again. She didn’t think she would be able to move on if he had to leave to go back to his real mother. “Did you miss me?” She asked, tickling his tummy. “Uh huh,” he replied, laughing and trying to get her hand away from him. Charlotte kissed him on the forehead and carefully set him back on his feet. She held his small hand and allowed him to lead her into the house. She had been in a sour mood after the meeting with her parents, but just a few minutes with Caleb had softened her up. Kate looked at her and smiled. With a playful frown, she nudged Caleb and asked him why he didn’t notice her. He started to laugh. “What did you do today while we were g
