last update Huling Na-update: 2025-09-07 07:31:08

Marcel's POV

"Mom, what are you saying?"

"I am saying that Raphael knows the truth about the slush funds, the embezzlement case."

"How's that possible?"

"Because he met with the lawyer who made everything up, and he couldn't stand his ground. But not to worry—I already punished the lawyer for not keeping his mouth shut."

"And what did you do, Mom?"

"I did what I had to do, what a mother should do to protect her son."

"Don't tell me you—"

"Marcel, what I did to him doesn't matter. It doesn't concern you. All you need to be focused on now is how to get yourself that company. Also, think of how to clear our names from this scandal, because I'm sure your brother has a record of the whole discussion with the lawyer."

"That bastard seems to get his way in everything," I grumbled, kicking against the wall.

"You will hurt yourself, Marcel!" Mother warned.

But I wouldn't listen.

I had woken up that morning alone in my room. Serena had told me she was going to spend the night with her parent

  • From Ex to In-law    Chapter 72— Confirmation

    Mrs Kensington POVThe quiet in our living room was broken solely by the steady tapping of my nails on the coffee table. I looked at my watch for the fifth time within the past twenty minutes. Patience has never been my forte, particularly when I was so near to achieving my desire. "Is there nothing so far?" Gerrard inquired, sticking his head into the living room. I gave him a frosty look. "If there were anything, you would be aware." He shrugged and moved back to the kitchen. I couldn't fault him for being cautious with me at the moment. My mood matched the cold coffee that sat beside me, dark and gloomy. My phone buzzed at last, and I almost spilt the coffee in my rush to respond. "Sylvia Kensington here," I stated, maintaining a calm tone even as my heart raced. "Mrs. Kensington, this is Dr. Winters calling from Manhattan General." The voice from the other side was gentle, uncertain. "Thank you, Dr. Winters, for getting back to me." I instantly remembered the name – a docto

  • From Ex to In-law   Chapter 71— Brewing Storm

    Marcel's POVThe plan sounded really nice, so I didn't even protest against it."What's going on here?" Marco asked, pretending to be concerned."Marco, could you just fuck off? We both know you don't care about any of this. You're only bothered about your allowance.""Come on bro, it's not fair saying a thing like that to me.""Oh, you know what? I'll show you what's fair," I said, walking closer to him."That's enough, you two!" Mother yelled.But I didn't listen. I went ahead and slapped Marco. I had been wanting to do that for a very long time. Marco has always been a pain in the ass—all he ever does is gamble and party.Mother keeps protecting him, shielding him, and making sure he goes scot-free every time he does wrong. But even though I hated Marco's behaviour, I loved him, and I would choose him any day over that scumbag Raphael."Mom, can you see what your favourite son has done to my face?" he said, showing his face to Mom. "I swear I'm gonna hit him back.""You will do no

  • From Ex to In-law   Chapter 69— The Panic

    Diana's POV"I can't be pregnant, Ciara, no I can't afford to be, not now." I panicked."Calm down Diana, calm down, you are panicking.""I am panicking? Seriously Ciara, you of all people should know—""Come on Diana," Ciara interrupted. "You need to chillax girl.""There's a fetus growing inside me and you ask me to chill!" I feigned a laughter."Oh my gosh Diana, you are being so paranoid right now, just calm down."Louise leaned on his executive seat, his hands folded and watching as I panicked until he couldn't have it anymore.A loud thud on the desk in front of us made us quiet instantly. "Okay, I think I have seen enough of this madness." His gaze shifted from Ciara's to mine. "Do any of you mind telling me what's really going on here?""Uhm, Louise—"Ciara was going to talk but I began to step on her toes, signaling to her not to say a word. But Ciara was too stubborn; she never listens to me, especially when she's certain that what she's about to do will do me more good than

  • From Ex to In-law   Chapter 68— A threat in the cradle

    Mrs. Kensington's POV"Can't we just let her live her life alone?" Gerrard said."Are you serious right now, Gerrard? Leave her be?"He nodded."No way it's going to happen. We aren't letting her be, not when I am alive, not when my daughter isn't happy that she's in the same family she is to be married into.""But they could both live as sisters.""Can you even hear yourself? Live as sisters?" I scoffed."Yes.""Just shut up and drive, Gerrard. I think you would be very happy when I tell our biological daughter that her father wants her to live happily with her sworn enemy.""Hey, come on, Sylvia. That's kinda harsh to say. Look, I believe we can make the two of them live peacefully with each other.""Gerrard, I need you to get this into that thick skull of yours. There's no living peacefully if Diana remains in that family, so if you don't mind, just shut the fuck up and drive."The remaining hour drive to our home was silent.As he drove, I kept trying to devise means to get to Dia

  • From Ex to In-law   Chapter 67— The test that changes everything

    Diana's POV"Here, wear this," Ciara handed over to me a nose mask and a face cap before coming down from the cab."Why are you giving me this?" I asked."For disguise.""Disguise? Why?" I asked, a little bit confused."Oh my gosh, Di, I can't believe you are really asking me that right now.""Come on, Ciara, why are you making me disguise?""What else could be the reason, Diana? You are married to the eldest son of the richest family in the whole of New York City. This eldest son is also stinkingly rich with his own fucking money, and then a few weeks ago, there was a scandal about him siphoning money from his grandfather's company into a slush fund account offshore. His picture was posted on the news alongside yours—your wedding photo to be precise—and you ask me why the disguise?" She took in a deep breath.It was then I realized why she did that. I didn't even know she came with things like that with her."Are you both not alighting here anymore?" the cab driver asked."A minute,
