Scarlett’s POV.

The world tilted for a moment as my body hit the floor.

I felt the impact sharp in my tailbone and shoulder, but I didn’t cry out. Not when I knew everyone in the room was staring.

Phones were already pointed my way, no doubt recording. A few of the guests gasped, while others started whispering among themselves.

But they weren’t my main concern at that moment.

I was focused on the hand that shoved me—and the coward trying to disappear into the crowd like nothing had happened.

I would not stand for it.

I pushed myself up on one elbow and lunged forward, my hand snapping out and grabbing hold of a sleeve.

The person froze, startled, then twisted violently to break free.

“Oh, no you don’t!” I didn’t let go. “You’re not going anywhere!”

It turned out to be a man—and he was panicking.

I could feel it in the way his muscles tightened, the way he didn’t look my way once—as if trying to hide his identity.

“What is your problem?” I snapped. “Why are you doing this?”

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex, I’ve Married Your Uncle    Chapter 185

    Scarlett’s POV.The scent of freshly brewed coffee was the first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes. It drifted in from downstairs, mixing with the faint sound of laughter—soft and melodic. It was unmistakably Miriam’s. For a moment, I allowed myself to lie there, the morning light spilling through the curtains, warming my face.The house felt alive.Thankfully, not in a way that involved screeching alarms, shouting, or late-night distressed knocks at the door. Just the quiet hum of normal life, something that felt rare these days.When I finally made my way down the stairs, the calm illusion shattered almost instantly. It was not in a bad way, but in that distinctly Miriam fashion that made subtlety impossible.The dining room looked like a wedding had exploded inside it.There were fabric swatches, stacks of papers, and open binders spread across every surface. An actual florist and an event planner stood at the table, both looking mildly terrified as Miriam gestured dramatically

    Leon’s POV.By the time evening came around, I was already regretting scheduling that meeting.Not because it wasn’t important—it was. But because leaving Scarlett alone with my mother felt like handing a match to a woman standing beside a barrel of gasoline.When I told Scarlett I had to step out for a few hours, she’d smiled sweetly and said, “I’ll be fine. What’s the worst that could happen?”I didn’t have the heart to answer that question.Miriam Rosenthal was unstoppable once she set her mind on something. And now it appeared that her mind had decided that Scarlett and I were a wedding waiting to happen.I made Ezra swear he’d keep his phone on in case the house went up in metaphorical flames and left, half convinced I’d come home to a floral arrangement catalog spread across the dining table.The meeting itself dragged.My associate—which was one of the security consultants we’d hired after the incident at the beach house—went through system updates, new protocols, camera covera

    Scarlett’s POV.It started innocently enough. Late afternoon tea in the sunroom, soft music playing somewhere down the hall, and the twins asleep in their bassinets beside the table. Miriam had insisted on making it “a family moment,” which sounded lovely in theory—until she opened her mouth.“So,” she began, stirring her tea like she was preparing for battle. “How many children do you and my son plan to have?”I froze mid-sip. The tea went down the wrong way, and I nearly choked trying to swallow.“I—uh—what?” I managed, wiping my mouth with a napkin.Miriam’s expression stayed perfectly composed, like she hadn’t just dropped the conversational equivalent of a grenade. “Children, dear. You know, siblings for these two. You and Leon make such beautiful babies, it would be a shame to stop at one set.”I blinked at her. I wasn’t sure if she was joking or completely serious. “Oh, we haven’t really… talked about that yet.”“Nonsense. It’s never too soon to think ahead,” she said, waving o

    Leon’s POV.Peace never lasted long in my world. It lingered just long enough to make you think maybe, just maybe, things were changing, and then something always came along to remind you where you stood.For a handful of days, the mansion had been quiet. The kind of quiet that should’ve felt comforting. The security guards made their rounds without issue, Ezra had stopped frowning every time his phone rang, and Scarlett had begun to look more rested. She’d started humming to the twins again, walking through the garden when the sun was out, even joining me for breakfast in the mornings when the house was still calm.The babies had filled the place with new sounds—tiny cries, hiccups, the occasional wail that made me drop everything I was doing and run to the nursery before Scarlett even had the chance to stand.Leila had the sharper cry of the two, high and demanding, while James was the one who always followed her lead, as if afraid to let her outdo him.Some mornings I found Scarlet

    Scarlett’s POV.Returning to the mansion felt like exhaling after holding my breath for too long. The sight of the tall iron gates and the familiar stretch of the long driveway somehow brought a great sense of peace to me.The stone walls gleamed faintly in the late afternoon light, and the familiar sound of fountains by the entrance reminded me that this place—despite everything—was… home.Even though technically, it was Leon’s, it still felt like it was where I should be.Security was everywhere. Ezra had hired replacement security guards, after the last one who somehow messed up and allowed in whoever had managed to get into Leila and James’s room.Two cars idled by the gate, and another at the side entrance. It was then when I realized, with a quiet ache in my chest, that no matter how much danger followed us, at least this was home.Leon got out first, speaking with Ezra as staff began unloading the bags and the babies’ things. I unbuckled James’s carrier while Leon lifted Leila

  • 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
