All Chapters of Married To My Ex's Crippled Billionaire Uncle: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The next day in front of the house which Markus has given. The lock clicked open with a soft turn of the key, and the heavy wooden door swung inward, revealing the dimly lit foyer of Valeria’s new home. The scent of polished wood and fresh linen lingered in the air, untouched by the presence of life until now.Valeria hesitated for a moment, standing in the doorway with the keys still in her grip. It felt surreal, walking into a house that was hers, one that didn’t belong to Markus, one that held no memories of a loveless marriage. Bella nudged her forward with a playful shove. “Well? Don’t just stand there. Go in, the place is yours.”With a small, steadying breath, Valeria stepped inside. The space was vast yet warm, sunlight filtering in through sheer curtains, casting golden patterns on the dark hardwood floors. It was elegant, refined—just like everything Markus touched—but it lacked his presence. And that, she realized, was what made it truly hers.Bella followed closely behind,

Valeria stepped into the towering glass building, her heels clicking softly against the polished marble floor. The receptionist had already directed her to the top floor, where Adrian Reed’s office was located. With a steadying breath, she adjusted her blazer and knocked on the door. "Come in," a smooth, confident voice called out. She pushed the door open and stepped inside, expecting to see a middle-aged executive with graying hair and a stern expression. Instead, a man in his mid-thirties leaned casually against his desk, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "You look surprised," he observed, eyes flicking over her face with amusement. Valeria blinked. "I— I just assumed—""That I’d be old?" He chuckled, shaking his head as he crossed his arms. "Happens more often than you’d think." She felt heat rise to her cheeks. "No, I just— I wasn’t sure what to expect."Adrian Reed was nothing like the corporate tycoons she had imagined. He was tall, well-built, and carried an effortless ch

As the car rolled to a stop in front of Valeria’s house, Adrian shifted in his seat, glancing at her. She looked tired—her eyelids drooping, her hand resting idly over her stomach as if in silent reassurance."We're here," he said gently, but Valeria only blinked slowly before nodding. She reached for the door handle, stepping out with a little more effort than usual. Adrian watched as she fumbled with the keys in her hand, swaying slightly. His brows furrowed in concern."Valeria—" Before he could finish, her knees buckled. "Shit!" Adrian was out of the car in an instant, catching her just before she collapsed onto the doorstep. One arm wrapped firmly around her waist while the other slid under her legs, lifting her effortlessly.Valeria gasped in surprise, her fingers instinctively clutching his shirt. "A-Adrian, I can walk—" she insisted. "Clearly not," he interrupted, his voice laced with both concern and frustration. "What the hell is wrong with you? You didn’t even eat properly.

[A few months later] "What do you mean by this, huh? Is this some kind of joke?" Markus yelled at the man who stood in front of him quietly, the atmosphere of the room had suddenly gotten chilly since the secretary brought up the news. Markus had no clue why that would ever happen. The news had shaken him to the extent that he started wandering in the office. "I'm sorry sir, but the news is absolutely true." He shot up from his seat and shouted at the man again, while Markus snatched the tablet from his secretary’s hand and smashed it into the wall. Howcould the man swallow the big news that the only woman of his life, precisely his ex-wife, was getting married to someone! 

Nonetheless Adrian called him in by wrapping his arm around Markus's shoulder, Valeria on the other hand kept quiet watching the two guys who would perhaps soon turn into nemesis! After all, how could Adrian easily let her go when he truly loved Valeria? And definitely not when she was going to give him a child very soon. "Here, meet my better half-to-be, Valeria Malcolm." After both of the men were done with their bickering, Adrian turned towards her and introduced Markus to Valeria. Whereas Markus winked at Valeria once again with a snickering expression,making her gulp the worst fears. She had already seen it coming and was definitely not ready to face him. However Valeria became alert at once when Markus openly challenged her nonverbally to save her marriage. Markus&rs
