As Roman entered his study, Leo followed behind with his head lowered. ‘What did I do to deserve this boss?’ he thought miserably, awaiting whatever punishment would come next.

Roman sat in his chair and glared at Leo. "Your phone," he said, stretching his hand out.

Leo stood dumbfounded, wondering what his boss might need his phone for, but he didn't dare question it. He quickly unlocked it and placed the phone in Roman's hand.

Roman took the phone and scrolled through it until he found what h

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 151: Unspoken Truth.

    For the next few days, Lena buried herself in the hospital.At first, she told herself it was because of her father.But deep down, she knew she was also avoiding home. Avoiding Rhys.Ever since that night, something between them had shattered.Rhys never brought up the photographs again. Never asked another question. Never raised his voice.That somehow hurt even more.He barely spoke to her now.Sometimes she would hear the front door open late at night, only to realize he had already returned from work.Other times, she would catch sight of him in the kitchen or living room.But the moment their eyes met, he would turn away. As if she wasn’t there. As if she had become invisible.The distance between them settled over the penthouse like something heavy.Cold and painful. It affected Lena more than she wanted to admit.Even her father noticed. “Are you and Rhys fighting?”William frowned one afternoon.Lena paused midway through peeling an orange.“Huh?”“That brat hasn’t visited m

    ‘What if I make you fall in love with me within those six months?’Theon's voice echoed in Lena's head as she walked out of the restaurant.Her heart felt torn.The cold evening breeze brushed against her face, but it did nothing to cool the heat building behind her eyes.‘Why did it hurt so much?’Lena wiped at her tears with trembling fingers as she walked down the roadside.“Why do I feel like this…” she whispered shakily.Another tear rolled down before she could stop it.“I clearly don’t like him.”Her voice sounded weak, almost unconvinced. “He’s my husband’s cousin.”The words only made her chest ache harder.Before she knew it, her legs gave out.Lena crouched by the roadside, burying her face in her hands as tears poured out uncontrollably.‘What was wrong with me?’She had never been this emotional before, or this confused.Everything felt messy.Her thoughts tangled together until she couldn’t tell where one emotion ended and another began.After what felt like forever, Len

    Lena had just stepped in front of the restaurant when she bumped hard into someone.“Ow—!”“I’m so sorry!” she apologized quickly, not sparing the stranger a glance before hurrying inside.“Hey—!” the person grumbled behind her.But Lena was already gone.Her stomach twisted harder the moment she stepped into the restaurant.The soft lighting,and the familiar atmosphere. Her eyes landed on him.Theon sat near the window. The moment he spotted her, his face brightened.He lifted a hand, gesturing towards her.That smile only made Lena feel worse.She tightened her grip on her purse before forcing herself to walk over.“I’m glad you came,” Theon said, sitting upright.His gaze swept over her.“I already ordered. The food should be here soon.”Lena sat stiffly. “T-thank you.”Theon frowned. “You okay?”“Yeah, I’m fi— what are you doing?” She flinched feeling his hand on her forehead.“Checking if you’re sick.”Lena swatted his hand away at once. “I’m fine. Just stomach cramps.”Theon le

    Evelyn followed Roman down the quiet corridor.The further they walked, the quieter it became.Unlike the regular hospital floors bustling with nurses and visitors, this area felt secluded. Few medical staff moved in and out of the private wards, their footsteps muted against the polished floor.Evelyn frowned.This wasn’t the ward Alexander had been in when she visited before.“Roman…” she called softly.He glanced at her but said nothing.When they finally stopped in front of a private ward, Roman turned to her.“Wait here.”Before Evelyn could ask anything, he stepped inside.A few seconds later, he came back out holding a medical mask.“Wear this.”He fastened it over her face himself before taking her hand.“Come.”Evelyn’s confusion deepened.The moment she stepped in, she paused.The ward was dim.Soft blue lights glowed from several machines, accompanied by the quiet rhythm of beeping sounds.It took her eyes a moment to adjust to the lighting.Then she saw Alexander lying on

    Rhys smiled at William.“Dad.”The smooth way he said it stunned Lena for a second.“Sorry I didn’t come with Lena earlier to visit you.”The nurse supported Rhys into the room while he spoke.Lena snapped out of her daze and hurried over. “Careful.”She held his arm and guided him toward the chair beside the bed before thanking the nurse.William frowned at Rhys. “What happened to you?”“Just a slight fever,” Rhys answered in a calm tone.William scoffed. “A slight fever wouldn’t leave you walking around like that.”“Dad.” Lena sighed, resting her hand on Rhys’ shoulder without noticing. “He already said he’s fine. You just woke up and you’re already worrying too much.”William opened his mouth to argue, but paused after seeing the concern on her face.He coughed into his fist and turned away.“Anyway…” His lips stretched into a grin. “I’m glad you two finally worked things out as husband and wife.”“Dad.” Lena glared at him.“You rushed away from my side the moment Rhys entered.” Wi

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 146: Still Here

    Gazing into his sincere eyes, Lena felt her chest tighten.‘What will Rhys think if he finds out Theon wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend?’The thought made her stomach twist.‘Wouldn’t that only create problems between the cousins? Maybe even between both families?’Her fingers curled against her clothes.‘It’s just temporary. No need to make it a big deal.’ She tried convincing herself.“Lena?”She jerked from her thoughts.“Lena.” Rhys called again, worry filling his face. “What are you thinking about?”“Hmm?” She blinked fast before avoiding his eyes. “It’s nothing. Just… a small favor I’m repaying him for.”Rhys frowned. “What favor?”His grip tightened around her shoulders.Lena pushed him back against the bed before he could sit up more.“Can you stop moving around?” she complained. “You were critically ill and still didn’t think to tell me.”Her tone turned irritated. “But you let another woman feed you.”Rhys pressed his lips together. “I’m sorry.”Seeing him look so pi
