In love with my ex's uncle
Grace thought she had finally found a family when the wealthy Wells family adopted her. To win their love, she became everything they wanted—obedient, perfect, and the ideal substitute for their lost daughter. The only person she truly believed cared for her was her boyfriend, Lucas Marino.
But her world shattered the day the real daughter returned. Overnight, Grace was cast aside, treated as nothing but a shadow of someone else. Lucas, the man she trusted most, revealed his true heart—he had only ever seen her as a stand-in.
Heartbroken and betrayed, grace got drunk and an got in an accident. The accident brought her face-to-face with Ethan Marino—Lucas’s uncle and the powerful head of the Marino family. But when she first met him, Grace mistook Ethan for a poor, struggling man… and helped him without knowing his true identity.
The story which started as misunderstanding slowly blossoms into something deeper. But falling in love with her ex’s uncle is the last thing Grace expected—and the most dangerous choice she could make. Torn between family scandals, hidden identities, and a forbidden romance, Grace must decide: will she risk everything for the one man who sees her worth?

Chapter: come back home Grace glanced at the man driving beside her. Only then did she realize—she didn’t even know his name yet. Gathering courage, she asked softly,“You never told me your name.”Ethan’s hands tightened slightly on the steering wheel. He couldn’t reveal his true identity to her. Keeping his eyes on the road, he replied casually,“Noha Willson.”Grace smiled faintly and nodded. “I see… I haven’t properly introduced myself either. My name is Grace.”Of course, Ethan already knew everything about her, but he only responded with a slight nod, saying nothing more. Soon, the car stopped at the address Grace had given him.She stepped out and looked at him gratefully.“Thank you for the lift. Actually, I want to thank you properly. Can you tell me when you’ll be free? I’d like to treat you to a coffee for saving me and giving me a ride.”Ethan’s lips curved in the faintest smile. “I’ll be free tomorrow evening.”“Perfect,” Grace said brightly. “Then tomorrow after office, coffee is on me.”Wavin

Chapter: Information Lucas was about to say something when an employee walked in and said,“Sir, your uncle wants to meet you.”Lucas looked at Emily and spoke gently, “I’ll go see him. You wait for me in my office.”Emily nodded, and Lucas left. As soon as he was gone, Emily turned to Grace with a smirk.“I hope you’ll enjoy your time here, sister.”Grace didn’t bother replying.

Ethan was sitting at his desk, reading a file with a serious face.Lucas felt a little nervous. “You called me, Uncle?”Ethan closed the file and looked at him. His tone was cold.“Yes. I heard you brought the Wells family’s daughter into our company.”Lucas nodded slowly. “Y-yes, Uncle. She wanted to work here.”Ethan’s voice turned sharper.“Do you think this company is a charity? That anyone who wants to work here can just join? Does she even have the qualification

Chapter: Are you the CEO?Grace looked toward Ethan and Noha after hearing the employee greet them with, “Good morning, CEO.”She turned to Noha in shock. “Are you… the CEO of this company? I… it means you are Ethan Marino?”Ethan quickly spoke up to cover, “You are right. He is the CEO of this company.”Grace felt her mind go blank.

Chapter: Pretend to be poor Ethan had already made up his mind—he would pretend to be poor, just to test Grace. His sharp gaze shifted toward Noha, who was staring back at him with a confused expression. Ethan gave the slightest shake of his head, a silent signal only Noha could understand. He couldn’t reveal the truth to the girl.Grace, however, caught none of this silent exchange. Her eyes remained fixed on Noha, filled with hope and desperation. “Mister, are you even listening to me?” she asked softly, her voice trembling. “Please forgive him… don’t punish him for my mistake.”Noha hesitated, torn between his loyalty to his boss and the girl’s pleading eyes.

Hurry up to the fifth floor. I’ve been stuck in these bloodstained clothes since last night. It’
