All Chapters of Oh No!! I Accidentally Married My Ex-Husbands Uncle: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Gianna-/It's been only three days sinde I started working with Maxmillian. I didn't think he could be any more infuriating.My first was just an introduction to what I was experiencing. He became strictly professional and overbearing. If he was having mood swings or any of his partners pissed him, I bore the end of that frustration.Not to mention, that his sister, Melody was here as well as the HR.I sucked in a deep breath and stepped into the office.“I got the files you requested for, sir,” I informed him. He was backing me, cigarette in hand.“Get over here, Gianna,” he said and I dragged my feet in front of him with the papers. “Drop them on the desk.”I obeyed and stepped into his line of sight. He didn't look too good. The stress lines on his forehead were enough proof.“Are you okay?” I asked.“No, baby,” he answered. “I'm very stressed.”The fact that he addressed me as baby told me that he needed me as a wife, not an assistant.“Do you want a massage?” I asked him.“No,” h

/-Dante-/It's been days and I haven't been able to reach her. I could tell something was wrong because Gianna didn't have the courage to go against me.I was still debating on what to do when Piper descended the stairs in a mini dress. It barely covered her thighs and exposed a lot of cleavage.“Where are you going, Piper?” I asked.“Movie set,” she shrugged.“Dressed like that?” I asked and she raised a brow at me.“And what is wrong with that? Didn't you meet me dressed exactly this way?” She retorted.“Are you seriously using that tone with me?” I growled. A bored look crossed her face and my fists clenched.She was acting like a spoiled brat again. Gianna wouldn't even dare dress like this when we had home guests, talk more of going out with it. But here was Piper, audacious and annoying, challenging me.“What exactly is your problem, Dante? You think just because we're dating now, I'd change for you? You better think again!” She hissed.I exhaled sharply, rubbing my temples. Thi

Gianna-/Maxmillan had an ex-wife?I mean, it was understandable, he was almost forty but he never mentioned anything about her to me.Having her in front of me, with him tensing up like this made my stomach churn. I couldn't help but feel like there was still something between them. Lingering feelings that were yet to die.“What are you doing here?” Max asked her. “This isn't a place for you.”Kesley raised a brow at him. “It's not? I'm guessing it is a place for your little girlfriend then .”I expected Max to correct her. To say I was his wife, not girlfriend but he didn't and my chest tightened.“We are solely here for business,” he went ahead to say, adding more salt to my injuries.Kesley's eyes wrecked through me and she snorted. Her eyes twinkled in amusement as if she knew something that I didn't.“I see you still haven't changed. I hope you have a lovely night,” she said simply and walked away. Max's eyes followed her until she was completely out of sight.“Max…” I called, m

Gianna-/He didn't speak to me after he walked away from me that night.We just saw each other and walked past without saying a word. I honestly couldn't wait for the weekend to be over so I could get back to work.Not that I enjoyed, but because I knew he wouldn't be able to avoid talking to me then.I was preparing dinner when he walked into the kitchen. He didn't spare me a glance and just grabbed water from the fridge.I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pained. I was making his favorite and he didn't even bother to acknowledge it.I clenched my jaw, stirring the pasta sauce with more force than necessary. The silence was suffocating, the tension in the air thick enough to cut with a knife. If he wanted to act like I was invisible, fine. Two could play that game.But damn it, it hurt.I wasn’t sure what frustrated me more—the way he was ignoring me or the way my chest tightened despite everything.Maxmillian twisted the cap off his water bottle, taking a slow sip before finally, final

/-Gianna-/I got dressed. Casual kind of dressed for a typical coffee date. Maxmillian left early so I didn't have to bother about angering him.He was, after all, unavailable when I wanted to inform. I couldn't possibly be blamed for that.I checked myself one last time in the mirror before grabbing some cash from the drawer. I was supposed to head to Maxmillian's office but I wasn't about to pretend everything was fine when he left for work without taking me like he usually did.He was always fine without an assistant so I'm certain this will be no different.In a few minutes, I was waiting at the coffee shop for my date to arrive. He delayed for thirty minutes, giving me time to reconsider my decision but then I finally decided to leave, I saw him walk through.He was dressed casually. A simple t-shirt and jeans but that was all it took for him to steal the spotlight.Eyes followed him right to my table.A slow smirk tugged at his lips as he approached, completely aware of the atte
