last update Last Updated: 2025-12-31 19:01:13

Rowan’s POV

I shouldn’t have been listening. I knew it was low, pathetic even. But I did it anyway—leaning just close enough to hear Amelia and that smug bastard Gabriel whispering on the balcony.

"…tomorrow night… something special…" Gabriel said.

Amelia’s soft laugh followed, and something inside me sliced open.

They were making plans. Tomorrow night. Together.

I forced myself back into the crowd before I could punch a hole through a wall.

I stood beside Sienna as the auction continued, raising my paddle at random, bidding on whatever shiny nonsense she pointed at.

Jewelry, art, a fucking antique vase she didn’t even bother to look at twice. I bought it all with the same half-dead expression. But my mind was nowhere near this ballroom.

My mind was locked on Amelia.

Of course she’d moved on.

Of course she’d chosen Gabriel. Again.

And yeah—I’d been an idiot for standing her up. I should’ve texted. I should’ve called. Hell, I should’ve run through the damn city barefoot if that’s what

  • After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle   Chapter 186 - Civil Conversations

    Amelia’s POV"Please," the doctor said firmly, stepping between us, palms raised. "Can we keep this civil?"Rowan’s grip loosened, though only barely. Sienna was still glaring at me like she wanted to peel my skin off layer by layer."I’ll be civil," she snapped at Rowan, though her eyes never left mine. "Now let go of me."Rowan exhaled sharply and stepped back, but his body stayed angled toward her. His jaw was clenched so tightly I could practically hear his teeth grinding."Everyone just calm down," the doctor added. "This is a hospital."I folded my arms, forcing my shaking hands to still. "Fine. Then let’s talk like adults."Sienna scoffed. "Oh, I can’t wait to hear this.""I want Liam’s care transferred to a different doctor," I said clearly.The room went dead silent.The doctor blinked. "Ms. Hartwell—""No," Sienna cut in sharply. "Absolutely not. You have no right—""I’m not asking your permission," I said coolly. "I’m stating what needs to happen.""You have no authority he

  • After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle   Chapter 185 - Don’t You Dare

    Amelia’s POVFor half a second, my brain tried to convince me this was another trick.Another manipulation. Another cruel little test.But no—this time there was no mischievous glint in Liam’s eyes, no suppressed grin, no laughter waiting to burst out. His body had gone slack, his head lolling to the side, his skin frighteningly pale."Oh my god—Liam!"I lunged forward, catching him just before he slid off the chair and hit the floor. His body was limp in my arms. Far too light, far too still.Panic surged through me, sharp and electric."Claudia!" I shouted as I ran through the hallway to the elevator, my voice shaking. "I need to leave—now!"She was already on her feet, eyes wide. "What happened?""He fainted. I think—no, he definitely fainted."I adjusted my grip on him, instinctively cradling his head against my shoulder, the way you would with a much younger child. The sensation was… unsettling. Like he was my responsibility, whether I wanted it or not.Claudia hovered helpless

  • After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle   Chapter 184 - Unusual & Unexpected

    Amelia’s POVMy stomach tightened. "Unusual how?"Claudia hesitated in the doorway. "Just, uh… quite unexpected."I exhaled slowly, already bracing myself for the worst. It must be Rowan—who else could it be? After everything lately, my nerves were shot. "It’s fine," I said tightly, even though it clearly wasn’t. "Let him in. I’ll handle him."Her brows knitted. "You… were expecting him?"I let out a dry laugh. "I’ve learned to always expect the unexpected."She nodded, though she didn’t look reassured. "As you wish."I straightened the stack of papers on my desk, schooling my face into something neutral. My heart was already pounding. I looked up toward the doorway, mentally preparing myself for Rowan’s tall frame, his infuriating confidence, the inevitable argument.But when the ‘unusual guest’ stepped into view, my breath caught as my eyes darted downward.A small, frail figure stood in the doorway. A school uniform hung off his narrow shoulders. Dark circles shadowed pale eyes,

  • After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle   Chapter 183 - Bends & Bruises

    Amelia’s POVAs we walked toward the changing rooms, Liz leaned closer to me and whispered, "Wow. She is not over that.""I didn’t do anything wrong," I muttered, though my chest felt tight."I know," Liz said. "But that doesn’t mean she knows."I glanced back once, just in time to see Maya watching me. Her expression was no longer serene at all, but simmering.Yeah. This was going to be an interesting class.The room settled into a low hum as people rolled out their mats. I took a spot near the middle, Liz unrolling her mat right beside mine.Maya walked in a moment later.She wore her usual flowing black leggings and a loose white top, hair pulled back into a sleek knot. Calm. Centered. Untouchable. If I hadn’t seen the way her face had tightened earlier, I might have believed it."Good morning, everyone," she said, palms pressed together at her heart. "Welcome to flow."Her gaze flicked briefly to me. Just a fraction too long.I swallowed."Let’s begin in child’s pose," she contin

  • After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle   Chapter 182 - Exhausted with Exes

    Amelia’s POVMy breath caught. "Cheating? Rowan, we weren’t together.""We were!" he shot back. "Or at least—I thought—Jesus, Amelia, you were in my bed. Hours before—""And then you went out with Sienna," I fired back."That wasn’t—it wasn’t like that!""It sure looked like it," I snapped. "To me. To everyone. You paraded her in a room full of cameras while I was begging the security guard to let me inside."Rowan’s face twisted with shame.Gabriel stepped in, voice low but razor-sharp. "You don’t get to rewrite this into her betraying you. You hurt her. Over and over. And she finally reached for someone who doesn’t treat her like an afterthought."Rowan rounded on him. "Of course you’d say that. You’ve been trying to get between us since day one.""Rowan, stop," I said sharply.He froze, chest heaving.I took a step back from both of them, needing space to breathe. "I’m not cheating on anyone. I’m allowed to walk away from someone who keeps breaking my heart."Rowan’s voice cracked.

    Amelia’s POVMy stomach twisted so hard I felt light-headed. "This is none of your business, Rowan.""The hell it isn’t!" Rowan roared, the sound splitting through the observatory dome like thunder.I flinched.Gabriel’s arm instinctively moved in front of me. "Lower your voice," he said calmly. "She doesn’t owe you any explanations."Rowan barked out a sharp, humorless laugh. "Oh, spare me the therapist's tone. You’re not her guardian. You’re not her boyfriend. You’re a rebound she’s trying to convince herself she wants."Heat shot through my chest. "Rowan—" I warned, my voice trembling with anger and humiliation.But he wasn’t finished. He surged forward a step, eyes blazing, voice cracking with fury. "You think I didn’t hear you two last night? Making plans? Right after—""Enough," Gabriel snapped. The sudden bite in his tone shocked even me.Rowan’s head snapped toward him. "Stay the hell out of this.""Gladly," Gabriel said coolly, "but you’re upsetting her.""I’m upsetting her?"
