The room was still cloaked in a heavy silence, the scent of old whiskey and worn leather lingering like ghosts of a past life. Ben sat alone in the library, hunched over, the glass in his hand warming from the heat of his skin. Outside the window, dusk had begun its slow descent, casting long shadows that crept across the bookshelves, pooling at his feet like sorrow made manifest.

His phone buzzed on the desk—once, then twice—vibrating against the mahogany with a soft urgency.

He ignored it at first.

The third buzz forced his hand.

He picked it up, squinted at the screen.

It was Charles—his attorney, friend, and reluctant keeper during this spiral of self-destruction. With a sigh that felt like it scraped from his soul, Ben answered.

“Yeah.”

“Ben.” Charles’ voice was low, careful, the way someone spoke before delivering bad news—as if the words themselves might shatter whatever fragile thing was left standing. “I just got off the phone with Serena’s legal team.”

Ben didn’t speak. He d

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    The baby is here

    The weeks passed slowly, but Elijah didn’t mind.Every morning, he was there at Serena’s door before the sun had fully risen, ready to drive her to her prenatal appointments or walk her through the quiet gardens near his estate so she could get some fresh air. The pregnancy had been both a blessing and a challenge—Serena’s body was adjusting, and though she tried to hide it, Elijah could see the toll it took on her.He made it his mission to ease every burden.On clinic days, Elijah was the one holding her hand as the nurse guided her through ultrasounds. He would sit quietly beside her, watching her face light up when the faint, rhythmic sound of the baby’s heartbeat filled the room.Sometimes, she cried.Elijah never said a word, never tried to make it about himself. He would simply hand her a tissue, his hand lingering softly on hers, a silent anchor.At home, he made sure the house was stocked with everything she craved or needed—fresh fruits, her favorite herbal teas, even the od

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Divorce papers signed

    Serena stood by the window, the mid-morning sun casting a soft golden hue across her face. Her hands trembled slightly as she buttoned the cuff of her blouse. Her heart was steady, but it hurt. Not the sharp pain of betrayal anymore this was different. This was the ache of letting go of someone she had once built her entire world around.“Elijah,” she called softly, her voice barely carrying.He appeared by the door almost instantly, his shirt tucked, his jacket already on, looking every bit the solid rock he’d been for her these past few weeks.“Get dressed already,” he said with a half-smile. “The meeting with Ben’s lawyer is getting close.”Serena turned from the window, eyes searching his. “Do you… do you think I’m making the right decision?”Elijah took a breath and walked to her, placing his hands gently on her shoulders. “Yes, you are. Or… do you want to still be married to him after everything?”She paused, her lips parting slightly, but her answer came quickly. “No.”“Then be

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    The hollow house

    The grand house that once echoed with laughter, warm aromas from the kitchen, and the quiet intimacy of shared lives had become a museum of sorrow. Dust didn’t dare settle on the expensive furniture, thanks to the relentless hands of the overworked staff, but joy had long since fled the halls.Ben had become a ghost within its walls.Where once he would come home to Serena’s laughter filling the foyer, her arms wrapping around him with quiet affection, now he came home to silence or worse, to Audrey.It was the third time this week he came back later than he should have. The excuse was always the same: work. Meetings. Client dinners. The truth was simpler he couldn’t bear to come home. Not anymore.The house loomed in front of him now like a haunted monument. Lights blazed in almost every window Audrey liked it that way, claiming the darkness was "bad for the baby." Ben scoffed under his breath. The baby.The child she insisted was his.The one he never asked for.The one he wasn’t ev

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    She can never be yours

    The small guest bedroom Serena had taken up in Elijah sister's house was quiet, bathed in soft golden hues of the late morning sun filtering through linen curtains. Outside, birds chirped softly, but inside, Serena sat frozen on the edge of the bed, her hands resting gently over her growing belly, eyes distant haunted.It had been a week since she walked out of Ben’s house.A week since her world came crumbling down with the weight of that video.A week since Stacy’s voice, smug and venom-laced, echoed in her head”Your darling husband has been screwing me behind your back.”Despite the gentle support of her sister, and the quiet but unwavering presence of Elijah, Serena had barely spoken more than a few words at a time. Her world had split in half and she was left trying to hold onto something solid while carrying the one thing that still tethered her to hope: her unborn child.She sat by the window now, staring at the backyard where Elijah had just been watering the small patch of fl

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Manipulation

    Ben slammed the door behind him, the sound echoing through the empty house like a final verdict. His footsteps dragged across the polished hardwood floors as he moved into the living room and sank to the floor, not bothering with the couch. The silence in the house was suffocating, broken only by the faint ticking of the antique clock Serena had once insisted on buyingthe one he used to find irritating, but now clung to like a heartbeat in the dark.He reached for the bottle of scotch left on the table from the night before. The glass was already there dusty, half-full. He didn’t bother pouring it. He drank straight from the bottle this time.Each sip burned.But it wasn’t enough to drown the ache pulsing through his chest.She had looked right at him and said she wanted a divorce. She had said no. No to fixing it. No to hope. No to him.Ben’s fingers trembled as he took another swig.He didn’t even hear the front door open.“Ben?”The voice came softly at first, but it was like nail
