After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle Chapter 33 - A Bid Too Far
Amelia’s POVJust as I settled into my seat, the familiar click of expensive heels approached. I didn’t have to look up to know who it was.“Amelia,” Victoria said sweetly, her tone dripping with practiced charm. “What a surprise seeing you here.”I turned slowly and gave her a tight smile. “Hello, Victoria.”Without waiting for an invitation, she slid into the seat beside me, smoothing her designer dress. She leaned in as if we were sharing sisterly secrets.“My condition has stabilized,” she said quietly, with an air of triumph. “Doctors say I’m doing much better. I suppose stress doesn’t help.”“I’m glad to hear that,” I said cautiously, my voice neutral.“Oh, and by the way…” She tilted her head, her voice barely above a whisper. “What you said last time—about Tristan trying to cheat on me? You were lying, weren’t you?”My eyes met hers, my expression sincere. “No, I wasn’t.”She scoffed softly, rolling her eyes. “Please, Amelia. You’re still bitter he chose me—I get it. But don’t
After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle Chapter 32 - Permission To Hope
Rowan’s POVI didn’t feel clear-headed until I was inside the car.My gaze dropped to the crushed cigarette on the passenger seat—unlit, snapped clean in half. Evidence of how tightly I’d been clenching my fist.I hadn’t been smoking for years. But I’d taken it from an old box on impulse.The hickey on her neck was so blatant. A growl caught in my throat. All I wanted to do in that office was sink my mouth over that bruise and replace it with my own. Darker. Deeper. Undeniable.I wanted to grab her chin and kiss her until she stopped lying to me. To yank her in, and bury my face in that damn black lace until she remembered who she belonged to.Heat shot through me, fast and undeniable. It was getting hard before I could stop it.“Damn it,” I muttered, low and sharp. “What the hell is that woman doing to me?”I closed my eyes, trying to reason with myself.She’s just a woman. One who can't follow a simple order to stay away from trouble. One who lies badly, cries easily, yet keeps get
After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle Chapter 31 - Ice Cold Distrust
Amelia’s POVI stood frozen, my beige blouse plastered to my skin from the spilled water. The fabric was now translucent, the black lace of my bra clearly visible beneath it. And worse—just above it, on the slope of my collarbone—the hickey.Rowan stood in front of me, hand suspended mid-motion. His gaze was fixed on the mark. He didn’t speak at first.But when he did, his voice was so quiet it cut through the air like a scalpel.“Well,” he whispered, eyes narrowing. “That explains things.”His tone carried weight. Judgment. I felt heat crawl up my neck and cheeks, even as the rest of me shivered from the icy water. I snatched the tissue from his hand and pressed it awkwardly over the mark, as if that could erase it—and everything it implied.“It’s not what you think. I didn’t—” I started, but stopped myself. There was no excuse. I had promised to stay away from Tristan.Rowan didn’t demand an explanation, didn’t yell. That would have been easier to deal with. Instead, he simply st
After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle Chapter 30 - Uncovered
Amelia’s POVMy mouth opened slightly, then closed again. “How… how did you know?”I skipped over his second question entirely—it felt too raw, too hard to answer.“How did you know I took out a loan for the company?” I asked, my voice barely steady. But even as I spoke, the answer began to form in my mind. Right after the loan appointment... I had run into Miles.“Was it… Miles who told you?”Rowan leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. He didn’t confirm or deny. Just watched me with that unreadable expression of his.I rushed to shift the conversation. “I just need to get my mother’s house back,” I said quickly, clutching the edge of my chair. “No matter what it takes.”I didn’t want to circle back to the other question—the one I hadn’t answered. Because the truth about where I’d gone after leaving his office… It would definitely be a trigger for him.He still didn’t answer. It felt like he was staring right through me.Thinking he might be disappointed—maybe he’d even think I’d j
After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle Chapter 29 - Letting Him In
Amelia’s POVThe memory of Tristan's disgusting touch made my skin crawl. I wanted to scrub the hickey off, erase it from my body entirely. But all I could do was grab concealer and foundation. My hands trembled as I dabbed and blended and covered the mark.Just as I finished, the intercom buzzed. I turned to the security screen and saw Rowan’s tall, commanding frame standing outside on the pavement. Even through the grainy feed, he looked composed, powerful… and completely out of place in this part of town.“Come on in,” I said, pressing the button to unlock the door.A few moments later, there was a knock. I opened the door, and there he was—Rowan Lancaster, in all his tailored, intimidating glory. His presence seemed to swallow up the space in the narrow hallway. “This is me,” I said a little shyly, stepping aside to let him in.He walked in without a word. My apartment was small, but I had done what I could to make it feel like home. Warm lighting, a mismatched but charming so
After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle Chapter 28 - Unexpected Agreement
Amelia’s POV“Are you threatening me right now?” I asked, my voice sharp, eyes narrowed into slits.Tristan smirked. “Good observation.”I didn’t hesitate. I yanked my arm from his grip and shoved him back a step. Fury roared in my chest, but beneath it was something colder—clarity. For a fleeting moment, I’d believed that maybe, just maybe, his earlier defense in front of my stepmother had come from some scrap of decency. A hint of guilt. A flicker of care.But no. Tristan hadn’t changed at all.He still saw me as something to own. To manipulate. A plaything to pull off the shelf when convenient.I stepped closer, grabbed him by the collar, and looked him dead in the eye. “Listen carefully,” I said, my voice like ice. “I am not yours. Not now. Not ever. You can threaten, lie, and twist all you want—but I will never submit to you again.”His smile wavered.I released his collar and turned my back on him, walking away with my head high and my back straight. I didn’t look back.But ev
