BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE Chapter 164: Subtle Threats and Surprises
Marcus remained rooted to the spot long after the elevator doors closed.His jaw was tight. His fists hung at his sides, clenched so hard his knuckles ached."You can try."Roman's dismissive voice echoed in his head. Like he was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.The stiff smile on his face disappeared bit by bit until nothing remained.Arrogant. Even now, Roman still looked down on him. Even after placing him on sabbatical, he still returned and effortlessly took control again.Marcus face darkened.Ring.The sound of his ringing phone cut through his thoughts. His gaze dropped to the screen. The irritation on his face vanished. Something sharper flickered through his eyes.He answered immediately. “I was waiting for your call.”A calm female voice sounded from the other end. “How are things on your side?”Marcus started walking toward his office “They’re progressing.” his voice turned respectful.“Good.”The woman paused. “Then I assume things are going according to plan?”Ma
BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE Chapter 163: Sore
Evelyn woke with a frown. Something felt wrong.The room was dark, the faint glow of the bedside lamp casting shadows across the walls. She stayed still for a moment, blinking at the ceiling. Then a dull ache spread across her waist.Evelyn stiffened. Her hand moved instinctively to her stomach.“…Ow.”The soreness stretched from her lower back to her waist. Not sharp. But uncomfortable enough to make her uneasy.Her brows knitted.Immediately, her thoughts flew to the fortune teller."I cannot feel your pregnancy. As if it's not there."Her heartbeat picked up. Evelyn turned toward the other side of the bed. Roman wasn’t there.Her heart became frantic. “Roman?”No answer. She sat up with effort, pushing the blanket away.The soreness hit again, causing her to wince.“Ugh…” She pushed herself off the bed.The hallway remained quiet. Only one room carried light beneath the door. The study.Roman's calm voice drifted through."…the quarterly projections need to be revised. I want them
BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE Chapter 162: Pink
Lena woke with a splitting headache.Morning light slipped through the curtains and landed straight across her face. She groaned and dragged the blanket over her head.Her head throbbed and her mouth felt dry.“You’re awake.”Evelyn’s voice came from somewhere too close.Lena cracked one eye open.Evelyn sat on the edge of the bed with a bowl of soup in her hands. Steam curled from the top.Lena squinted. “When did you learn to make soup?”“I didn’t.” Evelyn placed the bowl on the nightstand. “I ordered it.”Lena nodded once. “That makes sense.”“Don’t change the subject.”Lena frowned. “What subject?”Evelyn stared at her.“The one where you told me you were meeting Rhys, then somehow ended up drunk at a fancy restaurant.”She paused. "Drunk, Lena. In public."Lena groaned and pressed both palms against her eyes.“Can we not?” Her voice came out rough. “My head feels like someone is punishing me for my life choices.”“You promised me.” Evelyn crossed her arms. “You said you’d pull yo
BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE Chapter 161: Bitter Aftertaste
Rhys didn't turn around. His hands were trembling, shoved deep into his pockets."I can't," he said quietly. "And I won't."Then he walked out.Lena sat alone at the table. The roses sat between them, untouched. The champagne sat in its glass, bubbles rising and popping.She stared at the door where he had disappeared. Then she laughed in disbelief. Her eyes reddened. “Wow,” she muttered under her breath.Even after everything. He still wouldn’t let her go.Her gaze lowered to the ruined divorce papers. The ink had bled into the wine, turning parts of the page into a smudged mess.She almost wanted to laugh again. How ridiculous.Rhys had always been like this. Controlled and calculated.Even after she had lost their child. Leaving her seventeen calls unanswered while she bled.Her throat tightened.Lena reached for the champagne and took a sip.It felt bitter in her throat. Nothing like she imagined champagne would taste. But she drank again anyway.The restaurant looked exactly the
BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE Chapter 160: The first and Last.
That night, Rhys returned home.The penthouse felt cold, empty, and dark.He stood at the entrance for a long moment with a loosened tie. Dark circles sat beneath his eyes with stubbles covering his jaw. His clothes hung looser now. Work had become the only thing keeping him sane.He took on different cases and stayed in long hours meetings. Rhys did anything to avoid returning here. To the silence and place that no longer held Lena.He walked past the couch she used to sleep on, past the kitchen mug she liked, and past her blanket. Everything still smelled faintly like her.He felt his chest bleeding.She had been pregnant and he never noticed or cared for her. He ignored her…ignored seventeen calls.Rhys swallowed hard, then entered the bathroom. He stopped when his eyes landed on something near the trash. The used pregnancy test. There were three of them. Each with two lines.His breathing stopped. Slowly, he crouched.His hand shook as he picked it up with knot forming on his sto

The house felt quiet. Lena stood by the door for a long moment after unlocking it.The familiar scent of the living room greeted her.She still looked pale. The hospital bracelet had only been removed that morning. Her body felt weak. Every step carried a dull ache through her stomach, reminding her of everything she had lost.The doctor had told her to eat properly, rest, and avoid stress. As if grief listened to instructions.Lena lowered her bag to the floor and slowly walked further into the house. Her gaze drifted around the living room, staring at the little lamp at the side, and the framed picture of her and her father by the shelf.For some reason, being back here hurt.Because this was the place she always returned to whenever life became unbearable. Only this time… she felt different. Like something had been carved out of her and never returned.Lena let out a tired breath and walked toward the kitchen, and slowly opened the fridge. Her fingers froze around the handle.There
BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE Chapter 54: Every Moment is Yours
Evelyn’s fingers fumbled at the buttons of Roman’s shirt, her hands betraying her nerves no matter how hard she tried to steady them.Roman watched her quietly, his gaze heavy and unblinking.“Always so flustered,” he murmured, a smirk tugging at his lips as he caught her wrist mid-motion.Evelyn fr

Roman only finally let Evelyn go after she agreed to pack his underwear for the trip.And worse—he stood there and watched her do it.By the time she was done, Evelyn was certain her skin would start bleeding from how hard her cheeks had been burning all day. Roman hadn’t stopped teasing her, his e

Roman swallowed hard, not daring to move.His legs had gone numb.“Darling,” he murmured close to Evelyn’s ear, voice low and tight, “please… don’t move.”Evelyn stiffened.She stayed seated on his lap, cheeks burning, eyes stubbornly lowered to the tablecloth. She could feel everything—his warmth,

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
