Scarlett’s POV.

Monday morning dragged on more than it should have.

It wasn’t because of the dreary weather, or the lack of sleep, but because I already knew what kind of day it would be the second I would walk into that building.

I told myself to keep my head down, stay focused, and pretend everything was normal. That was the lie I repeated while walking through the main entrance with my bag over my shoulder, trying to ignore the way people looked up from their desks as I passed by.

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 214

    Scarlett’s POV.Six months later…The dressing room erupted into the kind of chaos that could’ve easily counted as a natural disaster. Ribbons flew everywhere and perfume practically choked the air. Someone was crying somewhere. Someone else was shouting. The energy pulsed through the walls like the building itself was alive and panicking right along with us.I sat in front of a glowing vanity mirror, trying to steady my breath while brushing the last sweep of blush along my cheekbones. My reflection stared back at me—calm on the surface, even though every woman in the room was seconds away from losing her mind.Helena raced past behind me, arms loaded with fabric swatches I didn’t remember approving. “Scarlett, I swear the florist mixed the order! These lilies are too white. I didn’t even know that was possible but look at them! They’re aggressively white. Miriam is going to have a fit.”“Helena,” I murmured with a sigh, “they’re fine.”“They’re judging white,” she insisted before st

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 213

    Scarlett’s POV.Leila’s tiny fingers curled around the edge of her onesie as I slipped her arm through the sleeve, her warm skin soft beneath my palms. She cooed at me, her little chest rising and falling in calm, steady breaths. The sound sent a wave of gratitude through me so fierce it nearly buckled my knees. Three weeks ago, I watched her fight for her life. Now she was kicking at me, impatient, as though she couldn’t stand another second of being still.James lay on the bed beside her, wiggling his legs so dramatically that his socks kept sliding off. I had already put them back on. Twice.“Why do you hate socks?” I muttered at him.He responded with a loud, enthusiastic gurgle.I was in the middle of pulling his sock back up for a third time when my phone buzzed. I grabbed it quickly, balancing James between my knees.“Miss Lemaire,” Ezra’s voice came through, clipped and formal as always. “Miss Olivia and Miss Helena are here to visit you.”Before I could respond, Olivia’s voic

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 212

    Leon’s POV.Ezra’s knock wasn’t violent, yet the impact of it hit with a force that cut straight through the peace of the morning. The moment I stepped into the hallway and closed the bedroom door behind me, everything warm and steady dissolved. The lingering heat from Scarlett’s skin faded too quickly. The scent of her hair drifted away. The quiet, intimate safety of our bed—of her—vanished the instant I saw Ezra’s stance.He stood rigid near the wall, shoulders locked, hands clasped neatly behind his back. His jaw had a line of tension that only formed when something serious demanded his full attention. There was a sharp, focused alertness in his expression that told me this wasn’t something that could wait.My voice dropped. “This better be important. You interrupted something I didn’t want interrupted.”Ezra didn’t shrink from the edge in my tone. “It is important, Sir. The investigator arrived unannounced. He’s waiting for you in the study.”A cold pressure slid into my chest. “W

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 211

    Scarlett’s POV. The rest of the night unraveled with a depth that touched me deeply. After Leon had proposed to me—after that final kiss that left my entire body trembling with relief and joy all at once—Leon threaded his fingers through mine and drew me toward the pier behind the venue. Every step made my heart climb higher in my chest. I wondered what he had planned for us. What I did know, and could tell just by appearances alone—he had most certainly put a lot of thought into everything.It was absolutely beautiful out here. Even more so than what is was inside of the venue.The water stretched out into the distance, dark and steady, reflecting the muted glow of lanterns arranged along the wooden railing. At the far end of the pier, a private ferry waited—small, intimate, and illuminated with rows of soft lights that traced the outline of the deck. The lanterns cast gentle pools of gold across the water, bending and shifting with each ripple.“Leon, this is—” I lifted a hand to m

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 210

    Leon’s POV.Scarlett stood at the bottom of the staircase, staring up at me with eyes wide and her lips parted, her breath caught somewhere between disbelief and wonder. The white-and-gold dress framed her perfectly, catching every line of her body with a quiet power that nearly knocked the air from my lungs.Her skin glowed softly under the entrance lights, and the look she gave me—confused, slightly flustered, undeniably beautiful—pulled something tight in my chest.She looked breathtaking.I had imagined this moment for days. I had pictured her reaction to the dress, to the venue, and to the night I planned for her. But watching her now—alive, safe, and luminous—was more overwhelming than anything I had prepared myself for. The sight of her after everything we had survived struck through me with unexpected force. Two weeks ago, I feared I might lose her forever. Tonight, she stood here in front of me, whole and steady, wrapped in nothing but light.“What is going on?” she asked aga

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 209

    Scarlett’s POV.Two weeks had slipped past so fast—in a blur of spending hours upon hours in hospital corridors, surviving sleepless nights, and the endless rhythm of monitors tracking every breath Leila took. If I ever closed my eyes during that time—the sound would haunt me in my dreams.I lived every hour holding my own breath, waiting for the moment the doctors would say she was stable enough to leave. When that moment finally arrived, I nearly collapsed from the relief of it.I just wanted my whole family home together, at last. Safe, and at peace.Leila looked so content in her crib that morning—her tiny chest rising with steady breaths, her cheeks full again, her skin warm and flushed with strength she hadn’t had before. The doctor ran through the final check, inspected every detail of her recovery, and finally signed the release documents.There would never be enough words to describe how happy I felt in that moment.“You can take her home,” the doctor had announced in a gentl

    Scarlett’s POV.My phone buzzed while I was still lying in bed, unable to find the willpower to move. It took a long moment before I was able to sit up and see it was Olivia.“Check your messages. It’s urgent.”My shoulders tensed, my heart already beating faster. I opened the message and stared at

    Scarlett’s POV.The interview was set up through Olivia’s contact—someone she swore was discreet, seasoned, and immune to bribery. The location was quiet, a small rented office in a mixed-use building downtown.There were no cameras or people around that could potentially add more to the already fa
