Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 27 This Is War
ADRIAN’S POVWhen Lila’s phone rang, I picked it up without thinking.Her phone had been left on the arm of the sofa while she went upstairs to change, and the name on the screen wasn’t saved. Just a number.Normally, I would have let it ring out.But something made me answer. “Hello?”A pause. “Lil?”A man’s voice. Intimate in a way that irritated me instantly.I straightened in my seat.“Lila’s not here right now,” I said, keeping my voice even while wondering who, exactly, had the audacity to call my wife Lil.Silence.Then, on the other end, I heard the faint shift of someone breathing harder than before. And just like that, a name clicked.“Jason,” I said calmly.More silence.Then, “Put her on.”I leaned back slightly, the phone cool against my ear. “She blocked you, so you’re using someone else’s phone to call her? Are you really that pathetic?”His voice sharpened immediately. “I have a right to speak to her.”“Oh, I’d love to hear this,” I laughed.“She and I have history,”
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 26 Am I Being Followed?
LILA’S POVWhen I walked into the living room that morning, Adrian was holding my phone.For one ridiculous second, my heart skipped.He looked up immediately. “Sorry,” he said. “You left it here. I was about to come look for you.”I crossed the room and took it from him, my fingers brushing his. “Thanks.”He had already changed into a dark shirt and trousers, looking halfway between relaxed and ready to take over a country. On the coffee table beside him sat a laptop, two folders, and a cup of coffee that had gone untouched.“Are you going in to work today?” I asked.He glanced at the folders. “I was planning to work from my home office. In case you need anything.”I looked at him.“Didn’t you have a meeting at Ambrosia?”“I can call in.”That made me pause.I knew he meant it as care, and some soft, dangerous part of me warmed at that. But another part of me—the part that had watched him fight for Ambrosia with calculated precision—did not like the idea of him skipping important mee
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 25 Wrong Number
JASON’S POVAfter the call with Chloe, I stood in the middle of my penthouse with my phone in one hand and a drink in the other, trying very hard not to throw both across the room.The city sprawled beneath me in glittering silence. Glass towers. Red taillights. Pools of gold streetlight. The kind of view people paid stupid money for because it was supposed to make them feel powerful.Tonight, it just made me feel tired.I took a long drink.What the hell had I done, tying myself to this complete shitshow?Chloe had always been dramatic. I knew that. She liked attention, liked being watched, liked the little performance of being admired. But lately, it felt like that was all she was. Every thought led back to social media, appearances, who was talking, who was watching, and what people were saying.My life was public enough already. The one thing I wanted from a partner was quiet. Chloe had never been capable of that.Lila had.The thought came so naturally that it made me angry.I lo
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 24 Pretty Girls Break Too
CHLOE’S POVThe first thing to break was not the business… it was my circle. It didn’t happen all at once; atleast that would have been honest. No, it happened so quietly and elegantly that I almost didn’t notice it. Group chats slowed down. Replies came later. Invitations stopped arriving. Girls who used to comment under every photo with hearts and fire emojis suddenly watched my stories without even reacting to them. A few brands that had been “so excited” to discuss collaborations with me went silent.Even my post announcing my engagement to Jason wasn’t performing as it should have.That was what made me finally call Nikki.Nikki had known me the longest. She was the sort of friend who could say awful things prettily enough that nobody slapped her. If anyone would tell me the truth, it was her.She picked up on the third ring.“Hey,” she said cautiously.That tone alone annoyed me.“Where have you been?” I asked, unable to hide the irritation. “Chlo, the phone works both ways,”
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 23 An Army for Me
LILA’S POVThe next morning, Adrian brought in lawyers.Not one or two… a whole army. By ten o’clock, the formal sitting room at his house had been transformed into something that looked halfway between a war room and a board meeting. Dark folders covered the table. Tablets glowed. Coffee appeared and disappeared. Luca moved in and out of the room with the same silent efficiency as always, and Monica sat among the lawyers like she had belonged there all along.For a strange second, I just stood in the doorway and stared.All these people.All this seriousness.All this… for me.Adrian noticed me first. He stood from his chair at once, crossed the room, and guided me to the empty seat beside his with one hand lightly at my back.“Sit,” he said quietly. “Just listen first.”Monica looked at me, her expression calm and steady. “You okay?” “I think so,” I said.One of the lawyers, a sharp woman in cream with a severe ponytail, opened a file and got right to it.“Publicly, their statemen
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 22 The Full Truth on Camera
LILA’S POVThe night before, I had gone a little wild online and bought myself clothes I never would have dared to order while living under my aunt and uncle’s roof. When the boxes arrived that morning, one of the maids had kindly unpacked everything and hung the dresses in my wardrobe.Now I stood in front of it in a robe, staring at row after row of beautiful new clothes and feeling completely lost.What exactly did the secret wife of a CEO wear to her first television interview?A soft knock sounded on my door. I pulled the robe tighter around myself.“Come in,” I said.The door opened, and there was Adrian Shepard in a devastating navy suit.“How long do you need?” he asked. It didn’t sound impatient or sarcastic. He really wanted to know.“I don’t know what to wear,” I admitted.His gaze shifted past me toward the wardrobe. Then, without making a fuss about it, he stepped into the room. Something about it felt oddly intimate. Not improper. Not aggressive. Just... close. Like thi
