I wake up slowly to the feeling of warmth enveloping me.

The next thing I feel after that is the weight of an arm around my waist from behind me beneath the blanket, and I have to blink through my disorientation before I remember where I am.

And that’s when the memories from last night begin to play in my mind at once.

I remember having sex with Nathaniel after he apologized, I remember bursting into tears, I remember confessing what I felt, and lastly, I remember how gently he’d handled me

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   089 | ELARA ELLIS

    My meeting with Laurent is over.The elevator doors slide open with a soft ding, and Laurent steps out first while I follow beside him through the quiet hallway of the law firm.The sound of my heels clicking against the floors is audible in the quiet area, but that’s not what’s on my mind right now since everything feels strangely heavy today. Not like it doesn’t, on other days. On the good side, though, The independent DNA verification process has been approved by the court and is officially moving forward. Once the real results are out, there’d be no more assumptions, private suspicions whispered behind closed doors, and soon, there’d either be proof that changes my entire life or one that I’ve possibly destroyed my relationship and trust in my mother for nothing. I don't know which possibility scares me more."You'll hear from the court-appointed specialist within the next few days," Laurent’s voice breaks through my thought when he finally speaks as we approach the lobby. "Unt

  • Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge   088 | NATHANIEL HALE MONROE

    Theo's question manages to make me stop breathing. And that's because it's the distaste of this entire situation condensed into one painful honest sentence. I mean, I've never ignored the possibility of it being asked, but even as I stare at him, it sounds really insane. And from a child's perspective, it probably makes even less sense.Theo actually tilts his head this head, obviously waiting for an answer. At first, I decide not to say anything and just brush it off. But when we both remain like that for almost a minute—which feels like forever to me— I finally given the only truthful thing I can. "Life doesn't always happen the way it's supposed to."I expect him to ask and push more. To say that's not an answer, but he straights slightly after considering my answer carefully before nodding like I just gave him the answer to everything. Children are terrifyingly accepting sometimes.Just then, he hops off the stool. "Can we watch cartoons now?"I narrow my eyes. "Didn't we est

    a man who loves to thrive on silence, the house feels too quiet to me after Elara leaves. And I don’t even realize I’m still standing near the window overlooking the driveway of the building until I hear the soft sound of footsteps behind me. Theo speaks before I can turn. “She forgot her sunglasses.”I glance down just as he steps beside me.He’s holding a pair of black sunglasses loosely in one of his hands while staring outside the window where Elara’s car just disappeared moments ago. “Maybe we should take it to her, then?” I ask, taking the sunglasses from him.I walk inside the living room and then place them on the table in the middle of the room, just as Theo speaks again. “Nope,” he says, his voice sounding closer. “That place mummy went to was very boring. I wouldn’t want to go there.”A chuckle almost escapes me at the innocence of his words, and I turn to face him, raising a brow. “Can I have ice cream?” He asks before I can even say anything. The question takes me

    I stop in my tracks the moment I walk into the kitchen after showering. Because Theo is seated on the kitchen counter, eating fruit while Nathaniel is standing near the gas cooker, making pancakes. Given I’d just walked in, I can’t really tell what exactly the topic of discussion is, especially since it’s Theo talking about what I assume are the characters from the cartoons he’s been watching recently. The whole view looks domestic. Alarmingly domestic, might I add. And I don’t think it will ever cease to make me feel surprised. I doubt I would ever get used to seeing it. As if he can feel my gaze on him, Nathaniel lifts his head, only for our eyes to lock. “Hi…” I manage out. Theo looks towards me at the sound of my voice, his face brightening. “Hey, mummy,” he says as I walk further inside the kitchen just as Nathaniel’s attention returns to the food. “Are you aware he burns pancakes less than you?” Nathaniel almost chokes on a snort, and my face warms up instantly, m

    I wake up slowly to the feeling of warmth enveloping me. The next thing I feel after that is the weight of an arm around my waist from behind me beneath the blanket, and I have to blink through my disorientation before I remember where I am. And that’s when the memories from last night begin to play in my mind at once. I remember having sex with Nathaniel after he apologized, I remember bursting into tears, I remember confessing what I felt, and lastly, I remember how gently he’d handled me after that. At the thought, heat crawls up my neck, and I close my eyes for what feels like forever. When I open them again, I remain still where I am, staring at the soft morning light slipping into the bedroom through the curtains while Nathaniel’s chest rises and falls slowly against my back. We slept like this. Actually slept like this. Together. The realization sends a strange warmth to my chest down to my stomach, and I will it away, then turn carefully to glance over my shoulder.

    The moment the sob falls from my lips, Nathaniel stills above me completely. His eyes have darkened just a bit, and he seems to not be breathing, like it has suddenly become dangerous. “What happened, baby?” he asks quickly, his brows pulling together into a frown. “Are you—” Another sob escapes me before I can stop it, and a feeling of humiliation washes over me that instant, my whole skin flushing. Oh God. The humiliation should be enough to make me stop, but it doesn’t. If anything, it makes my chest tighten so painfully as more tears spill faster down my cheek, that I have to turn my face away immediately, mortified. Except, Nathaniel doesn’t let me. His hand cups my jaw gently before I can fully turn, and he turns me back towards him. “Elara.” The roughness from earlier is gone completely from his voice now, replaced with a soft tone, and his gaze moves frantically across my face as if he’s searching for something. What? I have no idea. Or maybe I can’t bring mys

    “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

    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
