The car remained quiet for a long while.

Only the soft hum of the engine and the faint sound of tires brushing against the road filled the silence.

Theon stole a glance at Lena before returning his eyes to the road.

She sat still in the passenger seat, her fingers curled tightly against her thighs, her gaze fixed outside the window.

Her expression was calm.

The kind of calm that looked fragile. Like someone holding themselves together by a thread.

Theon’s grip tightened around the steering whe

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 191: The Beginning of the End

    The darkness was thick and suffocating.Roman stood in the middle of a white cold room. The smell of antiseptic burned his nostrils.A woman sat on a metal chair in the center, crying. Her hands were bound, with her dark hair spilling all over her face."Please… help me…" her voice echoed off the walls. "I'm in pain…"Roman tried to move, but his feet wouldn't obey. "My daughter…"He heard his own voice, strong and clear. "She's disrupting the process."He wasn't saying it, but it was his voice.A man stepped out of the shadows. Roman couldn't see his face, he only saw the outline of his frame. "Catherine, I own you. You can't escape from me. You're mine forever."The woman lifted her head.Roman saw her face clearly for the first time. Catherine Hayes stared at him through tears."Evelyn…" she whispered. "My Evelyn…" her eyes locked onto Roman. "You knew."Roman tried to speak, but no words came out."You knew and you did nothing." Her voice cracked. "You let me die. You killed ME!”

    Roman lifted the lid.Nestled inside the faded velvet lining lay a deep red ruby pendant. Even under the bedroom’s warm lighting, the gemstone seemed to trap every strand of light, glowing like a dying ember hidden beneath ash.Everything inside him stopped.He reached toward it almost unconsciously, his fingertips brushing across the cold surface before lifting it from the box.“…No.”The faint smile on his face vanished. ‘It couldn’t be. It wasn’t possible.’Roman remained rooted to the spot. The pendant suspended between his fingers as countless memories crashed through his mind.Every choice he had made. Every secret he had buried. Everything he had convinced himself was safely locked away.His breathing grew uneven. “How… how did this end up here?”His thoughts scattered in every direction.Unable to trust his own eyes, he lowered his gaze to the ruby once more, turning it over carefully. The familiar weight, the tiny imperfection near its edge, the pale gold chain woven through

    Roman leaned back in his study chair, the glow from several monitors washing over his tired face. His gold-rimmed glasses rested low on his nose, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled above his elbows, and the top two buttons had long since been undone.Theon’s voice flowed through the laptop speakers.“If we reduce the compound ratio by zero point three percent, the binding agent should stabilize. The original formula was far too volatile.”Roman jotted down a few notes.“I came to the same conclusion. But the temperature threshold has to come down as well. The original lab had a controlled environment. We can’t recreate those conditions.”“We’ll compensate somewhere else.” Theon scribbled across the page in front of him. “I’ll run another trial with the revised formula and send everything over.”Roman closed his notebook. “Do that. We’re getting close.”The discussion continued for several more minutes as they compared data, challenged each other’s assumptions, and pieced together fr

    Jessica stared at Evelyn, completely caught off guard.Her mouth opened, then closed again. The answer seemed to reach her lips before disappearing just as quickly.Then Evelyn's phone rang, shattering the silence. She glanced at the screen. It was Roman. “I’m sorry.”She rose from her seat and stepped into the hallway to answer it.Roman called to check whether they had arrived safely, how Noah was doing, whether the villa was comfortable, and if she had eaten. Evelyn answered each question, but part of her mind remained inside the drawing room, replaying Jessica’s reaction over and over.When she returned a few minutes later, Noah’s cries greeted her before she crossed the doorway.The nanny Jessica had assigned was pacing with him in her arms while Lena stood nearby, pulling ridiculous faces and puffing out her cheeks in a desperate attempt to distract him.Noah was having none of it.His tiny face had turned bright red, and his cries only grew louder.Evelyn laughed despite herse

    Lena followed Caspian down a quiet hallway lined with portraits. Oil paintings of stern-faced ancestors watched them pass.He stopped in front of a large window overlooking the garden. The afternoon light streamed through the glass, casting long shadows across the polished wood.Caspian was quiet for a moment, then he turned to face her."I know you weren't really Theon's girlfriend," he said.Lena's stomach dropped. "I—"He waved Lena off. "I'm not angry. I've known since the beginning."Lena stared at him. "You did?"Caspian nodded. "Jessica and I know our son. He doesn't bring women home. Especially not women married to his cousin." He chuckled. "We knew something was off. But we also saw how he looked at you."Lena's throat constricted."And we saw how you looked at him." Caspian's gaze held hers. "Even if you were pretending, there was something real there. That's why we never said anything."Lena didn't know what to say. Her fingers curled against her palms."How do you feel abo

    The morning sun spilled through the villa's wide windows, casting golden rectangles across the cool terracotta floors. Evelyn stood on the terrace, Noah cradled against her shoulder, watching the waves roll in below.Lena appeared beside her, a cup of coffee in hand. "You're up early.""Couldn't sleep." Evelyn shifted Noah to her other arm. "He was hungry, and then I couldn't stop watching the sunrise."Lena took a sip of her coffee, looking toward the horizon. "It's beautiful here."Evelyn smiled. "Come on. Let's take him to the beach."—The beach was a short walk from the villa, a crescent of golden sand tucked between rocky cliffs. The water was clear and calm, lapping gently at the shore.Evelyn spread a large blanket on the sand and settled Noah on it, his tiny legs kicking in the air. He stared up at the sky with wide, curious eyes, his small fists opening and closing.Lena sat beside her, watching the baby explore the world with innocent wonder. "He's so calm today.""He's bee

    Roman kept his promise.Later that afternoon, once she could walk without glaring at him every few steps, he took her out.Not just anywhere.Everywhere.He showed her Italy the way only Roman could — unhurried and intentional. Cliffside restaurants overlooking endless blue. Quiet cobblestone stree

    Roman returned to find Evelyn pacing the suite like a caged tiger. She whirled around the moment she heard the door open, her eyes blazing with frustration and determination."We need to talk about this—right now!" she demanded."Not here," Roman said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

    Evelyn's heart hammered as she stammered, "N-no..."Roman's intense gaze never left her face. "I think you understand exactly what I mean by making the pregnancy real," he said, his voice low and dangerous.Evelyn's breath caught. "I thought this was supposed to be a business arrangement."Roman le

    Evelyn struggled wildly as the men dragged her down the hallway. This was her only chance to expose the truth, and it was being ripped away from her. She tried to scream, but one of them pressed a cloth over her mouth.They were almost at the conference room when three large men in dark suits stepp
