Serena sat in the backseat of the car in absolute silence, her bags of baby clothes abandoned beside her. Her fingers trembled slightly as she pressed them against her lower belly, the protective gesture more subconscious than deliberate.

Stacy is lying, she told herself. She’s bitter. She wants to ruin what I have because she has nothing.

But despite her attempts to convince herself, Serena couldn’t shake the strange, cold sensation settling in her chest. The name of that cologne—Versace Eros—the way Stacy said it so confidently, as if she wasn’t bluffing but certain.

Her heart beat faster.

By the time the car pulled into the driveway, she didn’t wait for the housekeeper to help her with the bags. She all but ran into the house, trying to control the storm swirling inside her. Ben’s study door was slightly ajar, and she could see the edge of his tailored shirt as he leaned over some papers at his desk.

She froze.

She wanted to confront him—badly. But something about the calm hum of h

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    The weight of love and lies

    The sun had barely started to paint the sky with its warm hues when Ben eased open the bedroom door and stepped inside. The room was still cloaked in the quiet peace of early morning. The soft hum of the air conditioner, the faint scent of roses from Serena’s body cream, and the rhythmic sound of her breathing filled the space.Ben paused for a moment, taking it all in.This—this was home.This was what he couldn’t afford to lose.He had showered quickly in the guest room, wiping away every trace of the night before at least the physical ones. But no matter how many times he scrubbed, the guilt clung stubbornly to his skin, etched into his conscience like ink that wouldn’t fade.Still, he pushed the thoughts down, way down, and walked over to the bed, quietly slipping beneath the covers beside Serena.As soon as his body met hers, Serena stirred. Her eyes fluttered open, and when she saw him, she exhaled in relief and snuggled closer.Ben wrapped his arms around her without hesitation

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Bound by lies

    Stacy sat by her vanity, brushing her hair slowly, a sly smirk playing on her lips. Her eyes sparkled with a twisted satisfaction as she replayed her earlier conversation with Ben over and over in her mind. Every word, every pause she clung to it like a victory. To her, it wasn’t just a phone call; it was a promise. One step closer to reclaiming what she believed should have been hers all along.“I know him,” she muttered to herself. “He’s weak when it comes to me. Always has been.”The room was softly lit, scented candles flickering by the windowsill. She had set everything perfectly like a trap. Her wineglass shimmered with a full-bodied red, untouched, waiting. The sheets on the bed were freshly changed, her perfume sprayed lightly on the pillows. A silky robe hugged her curves, barely tied. She glanced at her reflection, tilting her head as if to admire her handiwork.“No way I’m letting that little angel Serena keep a man like Ben,” she muttered again, pacing to the window. “I wa

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Secrets in shadows

    Ben gently eased Serena back onto the bed, tucking the blanket around her. Her breathing had slowed, her features softened by sleep, but her words echoed in his ears: “If there are secrets—Ben, if there’s something you haven’t told me I need to know now.”He sat there for a few moments, watching her. Guilt flickered through his eyes, but he shoved it down, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead.Once he was certain she was fully asleep, Ben stood quietly and crept out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him with painstaking care. His footsteps were silent as he made his way down the stairs, but inside, his heart was roaring.By the time he reached the study, his hands were trembling not with fear, but rage.He shut the door with more force than intended, his jaw clenched tight. He snatched up his phone, scrolled to Stacy’s name, and hit call.She answered on the second ring, her voice like honey laced with poison.“Ben,” she purred. “Did she cry? I bet she cried. She always seemed l

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Crack in the glass

    The soft afternoon sun warmed Serena’s shoulders as she stepped out of the baby boutique, arms laden with tiny pastel onesies, soft blankets, and an impossibly adorable stuffed elephant. Her belly, though not yet prominent, already felt like the center of her universe. She was glowing—body and spirit.Everything felt perfect.She had a doting husband, a loving home, and a baby on the way. Her steps were light, her heart even lighter.That was, until she heard that voice.“Hi, Serena. Long time no see.”Serena froze, her smile vanishing like mist under fire. She didn’t even need to turn around—she knew that voice. That venom-laced silkiness, that mock-sweet tone. Slowly, she turned.Stacy.Wearing a body-hugging emerald dress and designer sunglasses perched like a crown on her head. She looked smug. Too smug.Serena didn’t respond. She tightened her grip on her shopping bags and walked past her like she didn’t exist.But Stacy stepped in front of her, blocking her path.“You think your

  • Dumped by Ex , I married his Uncle    Glowing beginning

    The car ride home was unlike any other. Ben kept reaching across the console to squeeze Serena’s hand, his other hand barely steady on the wheel as excitement pulsed through every fiber of his being. The man who once never smiled without calculation was now grinning like a boy who had just discovered magic.Serena couldn’t stop looking at him. “You’re acting like you’re the one who’s pregnant,” she teased, brushing her fingers across his jaw.Ben stole a glance at her, his eyes full of emotion. “Baby… I might not be the one carrying our child, but I feel like the luckiest man alive. There’s a heartbeat growing because of us. You’ve given me a future.”They pulled into the mansion's driveway, the sun casting golden light across the expansive lawn. As soon as the front doors opened, Ben’s tone shifted firm, commanding, but laced with joy.“All of you, gather here!” he called out.The household staff, including the housekeepers, the chef, the gardener, and the security guards, hurried to
