Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle Chapter 180
Scarlett’s POV.The knock still echoes in my ears when the handle turns. Leon is already there before the door even opens, one hand braced against the frame, his whole body tense like he’s preparing for the worst. I stand behind him, clutching the edge of the couch, my heart thudding hard enough that I can hear it.But when the door swings inward, it isn’t danger waiting on the other side. It’s an older woman, breathless and wide-eyed, bundled in a heavy cardigan and house slippers that look too soft for the sand outside.She clutches her phone with shaking hands. “I’m so sorry to bother you,” she said quickly, voice high with nerves. “I wouldn’t have come over this late, but I thought you should know. Someone was climbing your back fence not even fifteen minutes ago.”Leon froze. His tone when he spoke was sharp and intent. “Someone was climbing the fence? Could you see who—or what they looked like?”She glanced between us, flustered. “I’m afraid I couldn’t see properly. I was walkin

Scarlett’s POV.By the time we arrived back at the beach house, the sun had long begun to sink into the sea, staining the horizon with streaks of deep orange and fading violet. The air outside smelled of salt and summer blooms. The ocean seemed calmer tonight, as though it understood we’d been holding our breath all day and needed the extra peace.The drive home had been silent, but it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence. Leon’s hand had rested over the gearshift, close enough that our fingers brushed now and then, though neither of us said much. I knew he was thinking about what we’d found. Of those letters, the bitterness that lingered through generations, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it either.Dana. My mother. The history between them that I never knew existed until today.It still didn’t feel real. That woman’s hate had shaped so much of my life and I hadn’t even known the root cause until now.When we pulled into the driveway, the beach house looked the same, but it felt diffe

Leon’s POV.The night before hadn’t ended for me; it just bled into morning. I’d dozed off in my chair sometime before dawn, still in the same clothes, the weight of Ezra’s call sitting heavy behind my eyes.I know where Dana is.Those five words had gutted any thought of rest.I sat in the kitchen, half-dressed, half-awake, staring at the coffee I hadn’t touched. The cup had gone cold an hour ago, but I didn’t move to replace it. I was watching the baby monitor on the counter instead, paying attention to the soft breathing sounds and the gentle motion of the twins shifting in their bassinets. Scarlett’s light snores had faded about an hour earlier. Peaceful. I envied that peace.When she finally walked in, sunlight framed her in the doorway—barefoot, her hair loose, her robe tied haphazardly. She looked half-asleep but alert enough to notice my mood.“You’re already up,” she stated. “Or did you not go to bed. Again?”I forced a smile that I knew likely didn’t reach my eyes like I hop

Leon’s POV.Sleep refused to come.The house was quiet in the way that made silence feel like noise. I could hear the distant pull of the tide, the hum of the generator, the faint creak of the hallway floor whenever the sea wind shifted against the windows. Every noise kept me awake, but it wasn’t the noise keeping me there—it was the name. Dana.Sarah’s voice still played in my mind, casual and warm, completely unaware of the weight she’d dropped into the room with that single word.By the time the clock read nearly two in the morning, I gave up trying to rest. Scarlett and the twins were asleep upstairs, and I didn’t want to wake them. I needed to think, and thinking came easier when I was alone.I went down the hall and opened the door to my office. The air was colder there, touched by the sea. I left the lights low, just the desk lamp on, and sat down. Papers were already spread across the desk, which consisted of Ezra’s reports, property files, old records tied to Scarlett’s moth

Scarlett’s POV.The first thing I noticed was the smell of coffee.The second was the sound of voices.I opened my eyes slowly, sunlight spilling across the sheets, the faint crash of the ocean breaking against the rocks outside. For a second, I forgot where I was. Everything felt too still, too quiet after last night’s chaos.Then I heard someone sweep glass into a dustpan downstairs, and it all came rushing back—the alarms, the wind, the open window, Leon sitting beside me until sunrise, the shadows that had clung to the edges of the room long after the noise stopped.I sat up carefully, my muscles aching, my mind foggy.The twins were still asleep in their bassinets near the window, bundled tight, their tiny chests rising and falling in rhythm. Relief washed through me seeing them like that—peaceful, untouched by the night’s tension.But it didn’t last long.The moment I tried to stand, James started fussing. A second later, Leila joined him, her soft cry turning into a full-blown

Leon’s POV.“Leon!”The house lights flickered red, the alarm echoing off every wall. I was halfway down the stairs before I even realized I was barefoot and shirtless, the marble floor ice-cold under my feet. My heart was hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat.Scarlett was in the middle of the living room, hair falling over her shoulders, both babies clutched tight against her chest. The twins were screaming hysterically, their tiny faces red, their cries breaking through the wail of the siren. Scarlett’s face was pale, eyes wide in panic. “What’s happening?” she gasped. “Leon, I think someone is out there! They found us. I think—"“Scarlet… I don’t know—please, stay still. Just stay here,” I pressed, crossing to the wall panel.The alarm lights pulsed in quick, angry bursts. The system was showing a breach. It was on the east wing, near the kitchen.Behind me, the twins cried harder. Scarlett was shaking but refused to move toward the stairs when I motioned for her to go.“
