The first thing I hear and notice is the sound of water.

It’s not distant and faint, but rather, close enough that I can feel the shift in temperature and damp air on my skin despite my eyes being closed. There’s also a strange kind of heat curling around me, and then, him.

Nathaniel. The man who took me in unimaginable ways and gave me pleasure I never thought I’d ever feel in this life.

He’s arms are strong around me as he walks further into the bathroom, one of them braced under my thigh

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   080 | ELARA ELLIS

    Nathaniel’s words make the breath swoosh out of my lungs.I don’t realize when I reach for the doorframe behind me and press my hand against it to steady myself so I don’t fall. The image of the mysterious man Nathaniel just spoke about flashes in my mind that instant, and my heart drops into my stomach. The mysterious man could be Kieran Blake?I don’t even understand or know why I’m surprised by that information. I mean, it’s very possible, and the look on Nathaniel’s face is a proof of that.He takes my silence as an indication to continue. “Kieran and Vivienne met last night,” he says. “Near the same park the incident happened between you two.”The dread in my stomach intensifies. “My private investigator had his men follow them. They couldn’t hear anything they were saying, though. But it’s clear they’re planning something.”He goes quiet for a short while before adding. “Which is why I said he might be the same mysterious man. It’s not confirmed though, but the chances of it

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   079 | ELARA ELLIS

    I have no idea how long I’ve been standing under the shower. But I do know for a fact that it’s long enough that Theo must already be waiting for me. I shut off the shower, still not ready to move, and stand there. The bathroom is engulfed in silence as the sound of water goes off, and as I rest my hand on the edge of the sink, watching steal curl up the mirror, my mind travels to only one thing. My discussion with Laurent in the morning. Since that time, I haven’t been able to focus fully on anything else. I find myself distracted at times, sometimes not listening to what Theo has to say—even though today was supposed to be our close-bonding day as I planned. I can’t stop thinking whether Adrian is going to take Theo away from me. I mean, the possibilities are there. The chances of him doing that are very high, and if I don’t use whatever I have against him efficiently, he might actually win. And when he does, he’ll walk away with my child without second thoughts like I’m someo

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   079 | ELARA ELLIS

    The whole penthouse is quiet. It’s not the calm, peaceful kind of silence. But rather, a strange one—one that leaves me sitting with my thoughts for longer than I intend to. I’m standing beside the kitchen island with my phone in my hand, staring down at the untouched glass of water in front of me while the sound of cartoons drifts in faintly from the living room. Theo has been there for almost thirty minutes now. Since I ensured he had his bath and changed into one of the clothes Nathaniel got him, he requested to put on cartoon in the living room, and I let him. Every now and then, though, I hear the sound of movement from the television before silence swallows the space again, and each time it happens, I have to stop myself from turning to check if he’s still there. And I have no idea why. But my thoughts won’t stop circulating around how Nathaniel treated him. And despite him telling me why, I still can’t bring myself to understand why someone would love my kid—a kid that

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   078 | ELARA ELLIS

    I wake slowly, like my body is resisting the return to awareness. For a few seconds, I don’t understand where I am at first. The ceiling above me looks very familiar, but my mind fails to recognize it, still trying to catch up to the present. And that’s when everything rushes to my mind. I suddenly remember staring at this same ceiling last night, thinking about a lot of things until Nathaniel and I eventually started speaking. I remember trying to talk to him, him getting up to leave, me still trying to reach him until he left me there. Then, every single detail of the argument that follows comes after. His confession, the woman, the blood of innocent people in his hands, and most importantly, the reason he became like this. I feel my chest tighten instantly, and I close my eyes, trying to breathe through it. I can’t be this toxic. Surely, I should be more worried about the fact that the man I’m married to has a lot of blood on his hands. But no, my mind and heart choose

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   076 | NATHANIEL HALE MONROE

    I’ve been in the study for over an hour. Maybe even longer. I honestly can’t tell anymore. The glass of whiskey sitting in my hand has gone warm a long time ago, but I still haven’t finished it. I just remain there in silence, staring at nothing while the city lights beyond the windows from behind me blur together. My mind should be on the past. On her. On the things I said tonight that I swore I would never say to another living person again. But somehow, that’s not what keeps replaying in my head. It’s Elara. My mind is stuck on the way her breathing turned uneven as I spoke, the tears in her eyes, the way she held onto the door like her body could no longer carry her weight, and — I shut my eyes briefly and lean back against the chair, not allowing the thoughts to continue. Fuck. I’ve seen people cry before. I’ve seen people break. Hell, I’ve caused it more times than I can count. So why the fuck is this affecting me this much? Another image of a tear rolling down El

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   075 | ELARA ELLIS

    I don’t realize when I reach for the door behind me, holding onto it so I don’t fall. My knees can no longer hold me, my fingers are shaky, body taut, heart racing so fast I fear it might jump out of its ribcage, and even inside my body feels hot, like I’m catching on fire from within. And Nathaniel’s words won’t stop playing in my mind again and again. He had someone he loved. Someone he loved so deeply, her death has something to do with how he is now. Another tear rolls down my cheek at the thought, followed by another, and I watch as a look of worry flashes in Nathaniel’s eye, his jaw clenching. He’s worried. But is it about me? For me? As if he can read my mind, he takes a step towards me, but I put a hand out to stop him. “Elara—“ I shake my head, cutting him off. Crazy because I still want to know. Want to know about the woman who carved herself deep into his heart that he hates his own family for her. And why I want to know is beyond me. I have no idea why I

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   021 | ELARA ELLIS

    “Adrian has been granted bail.”The moment the words reach my ears, I freeze for a second, the kitchen cabinet door staying open in my hand. At first, I don’t turn. I just stand there, staring at the row of mugs like I’ve forgotten what I came here for.Then I do.The movement is too quick that my

    The station feels colder than I expect it to be. Not only in temperature, but also in feeling. It’s obvious that in a place like this, you have no one to save you, and the chilling, frightening atmosphere of the building is a proof of that. It’s late in the evening, and just as the lawyer said ea

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   011 | ELARA ELLIS

    The elevator is quiet. It’s not that empty kind of quietness, but rather the type that presses in uncomfortably, settles under your skin, and makes you aware of things you would rather ignore. Like how close to me Nathaniel Hale Monroe is standing. He’s not touching me though, but he’s not standi

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   010 | ELARA ELLIS

    I can’t take my eyes off Nathaniel. His hands are slipped into his pants pockets, his calm gaze fixed on Adrian, and before any of us can say a word, he begins to walk toward us slowly.The moment he stops right beside me, the warmth from his figure making the air feel suddenly heavy, he meets Adr
