Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge 121 | ELARA ELLIS
The moment Theo is gone, my smile fades, my skin prickling as the uncomfortable silence returns. That’s when Nathaniel starts driving, and I feel that dreadful feeling return again. Because this time, we’re driving to a court. A place that’s going to determine whether Theo would remain with me after today or not. Lord, I pray I win this case. As if he can read my mind, Nathaniel reaches out and squeezes my hand. When I turn to look at him, he’s looking at me with a glint of pride in his eyes. “I want you to know that you’re a strong woman,” he says, smiling. “Not everyone would’ve made it here like you. Others would’ve given up even before trying.”“Stop it,” I say, choking on a sob. “You’re scaring me.”“I apologize,” he says. “It wasn’t my intention to. Just wanted to let you know how I feel.”A laugh escapes me before I can even stop it, but he says nothing again. Instead, he just lifts my hand to drop a peck at the back of it, then drops it right on my thigh before I’ve full

I wake up before my alarm. At first, I just lie where I am, staring at the ceiling until it finally hits me what today is supposed to be. It’s the court hearing. I close my eyes shut and bite down on my lower lip, listening to the calm racing of my heart in my chest. It’s not because I’m tired, though. It’s because I just want to get up and face it. Slowly, I reach out my hand towards Nathaniel’s side of the bed, only to feel it empty, and that’s when I open my eyes. Just then, I hear the sound of the shower running in the bathroom.Oh. He’s having a bath. That moment, I sit up slowly, taking in the room. It’s still pretty dark, just a little early morning light coming through the curtains. And I’m instantly reminded of what’s happening again today. After all the weeks of lawyers and paperwork and waiting, it’s finally going to happen today. I get up and head for the guest bathroom to have my shower before getting dressed. When I return to our bedroom, Nathaniel is standing

When the words are out of my mouth, none of us saying anything. At first, I think Nathaniel won’t to say anything while somehow simultaneously expecting him to push back. And that’s when he does. “Will we?”The question is confusing at first that I turn my head toward him. “What?”“You seem pretty sure that’s how this is going to go,” he says. “The arrangement between us, I mean. That we’ll go our separate ways once the revenge is fulfilled.”I frown. “Aren’t you sure that’s how it’s going to go?”“No,” he answers so fast it throws me off, but I just stare at him.Then, I say, “That’s literally the arrangement.”Nathaniel lifts a brow. “Was it?”“Yes.”“No.” When I frown at his response, the corner of his mouth lifts a little, but it’s not really a smile. “The arrangement was revenge.”Once the words are out of his mouth, I look away briefly, trapping my lips between my teeth. God. I hate that he’s right. I hate it even more because I know it.But that doesn’t change the entirety

I can't sleep. I've been staring at the ceiling for the last hour. Maybe longer, too. I have no idea. The digital clock on the nightstand keeps changing numbers every time I look at it, but somehow no actual time seems to pass. Tomorrow is the hearing. After so many days of planning, waiting, and months of wanting revenge on Adrian Hale, the time is finally here, and it’s making dread fill me so much that I can’t even get a proper sleep. I turn onto my side, my back, then onto my side again, and Nathaniel lets out a quiet sigh from beside me. I freeze instantly, my head whipping towards his direction. “You've been awake this whole time?" A low chuckle fills the room, followed by his response. “You've been tossing around like you're fighting an invisible enemy for the last forty minutes." Heat creeps into my cheeks, and I close my eyes. “Sorry." "Don't apologize,” is all he says. There’s a round of silence that takes over the room again, and I open my eyes to stare at the

I’m standing in front of Theo’s bedroom door. I’ve been here for longer than I should, really. And with the time I’ve spent here, I should’ve already spoken to him and moved past it. But I haven’t been able to do so. Nathaniel had told me to give him some time, so I did. And now after taking a long shower, pacing around the bedroom like an idiot, I’m finally standing here. Pushing away my thoughts to the back of my mind, I knock on the door gently, then push the door open. Theo is seated cross-legged on his bed with a comic book in his lap, his attention fully on it. And when he feels my presence, he looks up just as I walk in. Then, he drops the comic book beside him and asks. “Am I grounded?” A laugh almost escapes me, but I hold it back in. “No.” His shoulders loosen slightly, like the tension is finally leaving him before he mutters under his breath. “Oh.” Without another word, I close the door behind me and walk further into the room until I’m beside the bed. Then; I

We’re leaving the principal’s office. Theo is walking between Nathaniel and I, his head bowed down while his small hand stays In Nathaniel’s grip. I can tell that he’s still angry about the fight, but the anger is buried under embarrassment and shame. And I honestly don’t know which one I hate more.Mrs. Daniel is still talking about the whole issue and apologizing to the principal, but the latter keeps repeating that she should take more precautions next time. Nathaniel, on the other hand, doesn’t look back at them, and neither do I. By the time we all get into the car, with Theo seated quietly at the back seat, the tension seems to have somehow intensified. When Nathaniel pulls out of the driveway and into the road, I feel the way he glances briefly at me, like he’s expecting me to say something. Except, I can’t. I don’t even know what to say. What do I say? That I feel embarrassed? And ashamed? Or that I’m grateful to him for threatening to sue anyone for defamation back th

“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

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
