For a long moment, the grand ballroom was completely silent. Every guest seemed to be holding their breath.

All eyes turned toward the source of that commanding voice. Roman walked calmly through the crowd, his presence commanding immediate attention. Nathan began trembling visibly.

"U-Uncle?" Nathan stammered, his voice shaking with fear.

Roman's gaze was ice-cold as he looked at Nathan's raised hand, still frozen in the air. "Tell me," he said, his voice dangerously low, "were you about to st

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 117: Built for You.

    Evelyn didn’t expect the drive to end at a private terminal.The moment the gates opened and the car rolled in, she turned to Roman, confusion written all over her face.“…Airport?”Roman didn’t answer.He simply stepped out first and held the door open for her.Evelyn slowly got down, her gaze sweeping across the quiet, restricted space.No crowd, or noise.Just sleek aircraft resting under the fading light.“Where are we going?” she asked, unable to hide her curiosity anymore.Roman took her hand.“You’ll see.”He led her forward, and stopped in front of a helicopter.Evelyn blinked.“We’re not taking the Aurelion jet?”“No.”She tilted her head, studying the aircraft.“This one is yours too?”Roman hummed lightly.At this point, she just exhaled. It no longer appalled her.She took a step closer, then paused.“Wait…”Her eyes slowly lifted to him.“It's just the two of us. Don’t tell me—”Roman raised a brow.“You’re flying this?”A faint smile tugged at his lips.“Is there a prob

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 116: Before the Moment.

    The moment the plane touched down, Roman was already on his feet.He said something brief to the pilot as he stepped off, the wind swallowing most of his words. The pilot only smiled and nodded in response.By the time Roman reached the exit, the car door was already open.“Sir.”James stepped aside.Roman got in without slowing down.Another car pulled up behind them—Leo already inside.The convoy moved almost immediately.—The house was quiet.In the kitchen, Evelyn stood by the stove, stirring absentmindedly.Lena had left not long ago after answering some call, saying it's something urgent. She hadn’t even explained properly before rushing off.Evelyn didn’t think much of it.She heard the door open.“Oh… Lena, you’re back already?” she called out, not turning.No answer.She frowned slightly.Strange.A few seconds turned to a minute.Still nothing.Evelyn turned off the stove and wiped her hands.“Lena?”She took a step.“Hah—!”A solid warm chest met her back firmly.Arms sli

    Lena watched quietly as Evelyn pushed food around her plate.Not eating. Just… moving it.She sighed, reached into her purse, and pulled out a compact mirror.“Eve.”Evelyn didn’t look up."Take a good look at yourself."That got her attention.Evelyn frowned, but took the mirror anyway, and flipped it open.The moment her reflection came into view, she stiffened.Her own face stared back—pale, hollow, dark circles carved beneath her eyes. Her cheeks looked thinner than she remembered. Her lips were cracked from days of crying.Her eyes widened for a moment, then slowly dimmed."See?" Lena set the mirror aside. "I don't know what's going on in your head, but whatever it is—you need to stop. Snap out of it."Evelyn’s fingers clenched.“Stop blaming yourself.”That was all it took.Her lips trembled.“But…” she whispered.Her eyes grew watery. "If I hadn't taken the flash drive from Nathan…"Lena didn't interrupt. She let Evelyn pour it out. Days of silence—keeping everything from Rom

    Evelyn couldn’t keep anything down.Roman sat beside her on the bed, a bowl of soup in his hands, watching her force down spoonful after spoonful. Her face was pale, her eyes hollow. She swallowed, and for a moment, he thought she'd managed.Then her hand flew to her mouth.She barely made it to the bathroom before she was heaving over the toilet, her body convulsing with nothing left to expel.He knelt beside her, holding her hair back, rubbing circles on her spine. When she finished, she slumped against the wall, trembling."I'm sorry," she whispered.He helped her back to bed, and within minutes, she was asleep, her body giving out where her mind couldn't.Roman sat beside her, watching the rise and fall of her chest. The urge to set up an IV drip, to rehydrate and stabilize her faster, it clawed at the back of his throat. But he swallowed it.He didn't want her to ask questions again or trigger her mental state. He had also made a promise to himself—he wouldn’t touch medical equi

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 113: They’re All Dead.

    A soft, broken whimper escaped Evelyn's lips. “Mm… hhn…” Her body twisted under the covers, cold sweat soaking through her nightgown. Her fingers clenched the sheet, her knuckles turning white. "Hh—ah…" Roman stirred beside her. His arm tightened around her waist, then loosened when he felt her trembling. "Lyn?" He called out groggily. She didn't answer. Her breathing turned ragged, sharp gasps echoed through the darkness. Roman's brows knitted. “Hey." He pushed himself up, reaching for her face. Her skin was cold, and clammy. "Wake up. Lyn, wake up." "Mm—ngh—" Her head thrashed on the pillow. "Evelyn." He tapped her cheek, firmly. "Wake up." "Ah—!" She jolted upright. A loud gasp tore from her throat as she shot up, her chest heaving violently. “Hh… hh… ah…” Her eyes were wide and unfocused. Roman grabbed her shoulders, steadying her, before pulling her into his arms. “It’s okay. I’m here. You’re okay.” His voice was soothing, his hand moved

    The room fell into a suffocating stillness.No one moved.No one dared to breathe too loudly.Everyone held their breath, waiting for what came next.Maya’s shoulders shook as she cried quietly, her fingers digging into her thighs.The guard who had whispered earlier stepped back into position, standing rigidly at the side.Marcus surveyed the room, his gaze moving from the servants huddled in the corner to Richard slumped in his chair, to Claire frozen by the table, to Maya crumpled on the floor.“Well…”Marcus’s voice cut through the silence.He swept his gaze across everyone in the room, unhurriedly.“I don’t have time for this.”He began slipping on a pair of black gloves.“Let’s end it.”A bodyguard stepped forward, carrying a box.Marcus took it from him and shoved Maya aside without a second glance.She hit the ground hard. Her cries grew louder.Marcus walked toward the servants. The bodyguard followed close behind.The women whimpered immediately, their hands clamped over the

    Evelyn couldn't believe what she was seeing. Parked beyond the soft glow of the runway lights was an enormous, gleaming private jet. Its silver body reflected the night sky like polished glass, faint golden lines tracing along its sleek length. The stairs were lowered, each step lit with a gentle

    Roman’s heart skipped the moment he saw her lashes flutter and her eyes slowly open.For a second, he couldn’t breathe.‘Did she hear me?’ He stared at her face, wondering.Evelyn blinked slowly, like she was trying to wake from a deep, heavy sleep. Her eyes were hazy and confused, her heart beatin

    “Stay put,” Roman said.Evelyn didn’t move. She sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, trying not to look at the spots where her skin still burned. Every time she shifted, her palm throbbed, and the sting along her side and thighs flared like a warning.Roman walked out.For a few seconds, the room fe
