Claimed by My Ex’s Uncle

Claimed by My Ex’s Uncle

Catching my fiancé in bed with my own stepsister on the night of our engagement party was supposed to break me. Instead, it woke me up. I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I walked out of that penthouse, walked straight into the VIP lounge down the street, and handed my innocence to a towering, drop-dead gorgeous stranger with silver-gray eyes and a dangerous dark aura. One wild, uninhibited night of absolute vengeance. No names. No strings. Or so I thought. Monday morning, I show up to sign the contract that will salvage my father’s dying company—only to face the new CEO sitting behind the mahogany desk. Julian Vance. Billionaire. Cold-hearted ruthless businessman. The man whose bed I stripped down in forty-eight hours ago. And the terrifying plot twist? He’s my cheating ex’s notorious, off-limits uncle. Julian leans across the desk, his eyes locked on mine with a dark, possessive hunger that makes my blood run hot. He doesn't just want to sign the business deal. He wants me. "You wanted revenge on my nephew, sweetheart?" he whispers, his thumb tracing my lower lip until I can barely breathe. "Marry me. Become his aunt. And let's show him what real regret feels like." It's a wicked game. A dangerous bargain. But as his cold hands burn through every defense I have, I realize the scariest part isn't getting caught... It's falling for the one man who can destroy me completely.

Chapter: The Golden Cage
Chapter 4: The Golden CageMy heart beat against my ribs like a trapped drum.The heavy mahogany doors were shut tight, locking out the rest of the world and leaving me alone in the suffocatingly large office with Julian Vance. The silence in the room was almost heavy, broken only by the quiet hum of the air conditioning eighty floors above the city.Julian didn't rush toward me. He moved with the slow, deliberate confidence of a man who already knew he had won. Every step he took across the marble floor was measured, his silver eyes locked onto mine without flinching."You handled yourself well," he said smoothly, stopping just a foot away. The subtle scent of sandalwood and warm cedar drifted off him, wrapping around my senses like a spell. "Most people tremble when Marcus throws a tantrum.""Marcus is a boy playing with his father’s money," I replied, forcing my voice to stay even, though my hands were cold. "You’re the one running the kingdom."A faint, slow smile tugged at the co

Chapter: Playing with Fire
Claimed by My Ex’s UncleChapter 3: Playing with FireMy fingers trembled slightly as I took the heavy Montblanc pen from Julian’s hand.The ink felt like liquid fire on the heavy parchment of the contract. I pressed the tip to the line marked Bride, my hand hesitating for half a second as the reality of what I was doing tried to catch up with me.Elena Lorden.With one swift motion, I signed my name.The moment the ink dried, Julian snatched the document away, his silver eyes flashing with a predatory triumph that made my stomach take a dangerous dip. He didn't even bother to blow on the wet signature before sliding the folder neatly into his executive desk drawer."Smart girl," he purred, his voice dripping with smooth satisfaction. "You just saved your family from ruin, Elena. And you’ve ensured Marcus will spend the rest of his life regretting the day he ever looked away from you.""When does the funding clear?" I asked, pulling my hands back and folding them tightly across my che

Chapter: The Wicked Bargain
Chapter 2: The Wicked BargainThe air in the room instantly vanished.My heart slammed against my ribs so violently I was sure he could hear it. Julian Vance. The legendary, reclusive titan of the Vance empire. The man who made wall street bankers weep and brought multinational corporations to their knees.And the man whose silver-gray eyes had stared down into mine in the shadows of an underground bar while his hands mapped every inch of my bare skin."You're... Marcus’s uncle," I breathed, my voice barely a raspy whisper. Every instinct in my body screamed at me to step back, but my legs felt glued to the plush carpet.Julian didn't back away. If anything, he leaned closer, his warm, sandalwood-scented breath caressing the sensitive skin right beneath my ear."Fiancé’s uncle, Elena," he corrected smoothly, his deep baritone vibrating through my blood like a low frequency. "Or should I say ex-fiancé?"My eyes snapped to his. "You know?"Julian let out a quiet, dark laugh. He straight

Chapter: The Taste of Vengeance
Claimed by My Ex’s UncleChapter 1: The Taste of VengeanceThe champagne on my tongue tasted like acid, but I kept drinking.I smoothed the silk of my crimson cocktail dress, took a steadying breath, and reached for the crystal handle of the VIP suite door at the grand St. Regis Ballroom. Tonight was supposed to be the best night of my life. My father had just announced my engagement to Marcus Vance, heir to the Vance real estate fortune, and our families were downstairs sipping five-hundred-dollar bottles of wine to celebrate.I had slipped upstairs to grab the velvet box containing Marcus’s late mother’s ring—the ring he’d forgotten in the private suite.I turned the handle. The heavy oak door swung open without a sound."Faster, Marcus... God, if Elena sees us—""She won't," Marcus’s heavy, panting voice cut through the quiet air like a blade. "She’s downstairs acting like the perfect little doll. She doesn't have a reckless bone in her body, Chloe. Not like you."I froze. The glas
