Elena's POV.

I had urged Caspian to go to his office while I spoke to my father on phone earlier on. He was still authoritative but at least, he learnt a few lessons. I smiled as I walked over to Caspian's office once I was done with him.

I stood outside Caspian’s office door for a moment, trying to calm my racing heart. My hand trembled as I reached for the doorknob. I didn’t knock—I just walked in. The door closed softly behind me with a quiet click.

Caspian was standing near his desk, flipping through some papers. The moment he saw me, he paused. His eyes locked onto mine, and for a second, neither of us said anything.

I crossed my arms and tilted my head slightly. “Start speaking,” I said, my voice low but firm.

He blinked at me, confused. Then he let out a small laugh, like he was trying to play dumb. “What do you mean?” he asked, biting his bottom lip, the way he always did when he was nervous.

I didn’t smile. I took a step closer to him, then another. My boots clicked softly ag

  • Dear Ex, Your Uncle Claimed Me    Chapter 48

    Caspian's POV. Elena held onto me, whispering soft words, but I couldn’t hear them over the ringing in my ears.The doctor cleaned the wound and began stitching me up. I wanted to move, to pull away from the fire in my side, but I forced myself to stay still—for Elena.Minutes passed. Or maybe hours. I couldn’t tell. But finally, the pain started to dull a little. Dr. Keller wrapped the bandage around my waist and pressed down gently.“There,” he said, wiping sweat from his forehead. “The cut wasn’t deep enough to cause internal bleeding. He’s lucky. Very lucky.”Elena let out a loud breath, almost like she’d been holding it this whole time. Her hands were still clutching mine. She looked at me like I had just come back from the dead.“He’ll be okay,” the doctor said, standing up. “He needs rest, and he’ll be sore for a while, but he’ll make it.”As soon as he left the room, Elena broke down again. She leaned forward, burying her face into our joined hands, her body shaking with tear

  • Dear Ex, Your Uncle Claimed Me    Chapter 47

    Caspian's POV. Lying in Elena’s arms, I could feel my blood soaking into her shirt. Warm and sticky. I wanted to speak, but I couldn’t even take a proper breath. My chest burned with every shallow gasp. The knife was still stuck in my side, deep and cruel. It felt like fire tearing through me, spreading wider with every heartbeat.“Elena…” I managed to whisper, but it came out more like a soft cough.She was crying—hard. Her hands were pressed tight against the wound, trying to stop the blood, but it wouldn’t stop. It just kept coming. Her fingers were shaking, her face wet with tears. She looked down at me, her eyes wide and scared.“Shhh… You’re going to be okay, Caspian. You’ll be fine. Nathan is coming, alright?” she said, her voice trembling.I looked at her, and even through the pain, I smiled a little. She was trying so hard to be strong. Her voice shook, her lips quivered, but she still tried to sound calm—for me. That was the kind of woman she was.“You’re the one that nee

  • Dear Ex, Your Uncle Claimed Me    Chapter 46

    Elena's POV"Hello?" I called out, my voice trembling as it echoed into the empty evening. But there was no answer. No figure in the shadows. Nothing to explain the noise.I swallowed hard and tried to shake it off, forcing my feet to move forward. One step, two steps... but on the third step, it happened again—a sound sharper, closer, and more chilling than before.A cold shiver ran down my spine, and I gasped, my pulse pounding like a drum in my ears. This time, I didn’t dare turn around. My instincts screamed at me to keep moving, to get away.I quickened my pace, each step faster than the last. But then I heard it—footsteps. Heavy, deliberate, and far too close. My breath hitched as the sound of them echoed in the quiet, each one like a warning pounding into my ears.I was no longer walking slowly; I was practically running, my heart racing, fear clawing at my chest.The footsteps behind me didn’t stop—they matched my pace, growing louder, heavier, as if whoever or whatever was be

  • Dear Ex, Your Uncle Claimed Me    Chapter 44

    Elena's POV.I slowly opened my eyes, blinking at the soft morning light pouring in through the curtains. My hand reached out beside me, searching for warmth… but the bed was empty. Caspian wasn’t there.My heart skipped a beat.I sat up quickly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Where did he go? I was about to get out of bed to look for him when I saw a tall figure standing silently by the window. My breath caught in my throat.It was him. Caspian.He wasn’t moving. He just stood there, staring outside like the world was far away. His shoulders were tense, and his arms were folded across his chest. Something about the way he stood made my chest tighten.Quietly, I got out of bed and padded across the floor. The cold air brushed against my skin, but I ignored it. All I could see was him—lost in thought, not even noticing I was there.I wrapped my arms around him from behind and rested my cheek against his back.He flinched slightly, as if he didn’t expect me.“It’s early,” I whispered,

  • Dear Ex, Your Uncle Claimed Me    Chapter 43

    Caspian's POV.Nathan pulled up in front of the mansion, killing the engine with a strong grip. The car went quiet, but my heart didn’t. It thumped hard in my chest, loud and uneven.My fingers gripped my pants until they turned white. I sat there for a few seconds, staring at the giant house in front of me—my house. But tonight, it felt cold. Dark. Like it didn’t want me back.I let out a deep sigh and leaned back in the seat, resting my head.I didn’t kill him, I told myself for the tenth time that night. I just warned him. That’s all.But no matter how many times I said it, it didn’t make the guilt go away.After a moment, I pushed the door open and stepped out. My shoes crunched against the gravel, the night air brushing against my skin. It was cold, or maybe that was just me.My feet felt heavy as I walked up the steps. I tried to move quietly, like a thief sneaking into his own home.The door creaked as I opened it. The lights were dim inside, and I hoped—prayed—that she was alr
