I KISSED MY EX'S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE CHAPTER 35
LELLAThe silence in my apartment was shattered the moment the door was open. I barely had time to breathe before his hand landed on my cheek. I gasped, clutching my face as the slap made my skin sting.He walked past me and entered my living room."Two years," he hissed. "Two years of making me look like a fool. You think running away to this... this unpleasant place makes you independent?"I stayed silent with my head bowed. I didn't know how he’d found me. Perhaps Joaquin had finally cracked under the pressure, or perhaps my father had known all along that my brother was funneling me money and had simply waited for the right moment to strike."And as if your disappearance wasn't enough," he continued while pacing the living room, "You were in a relationship with Conrad. My daughter, the future Mrs. Viktor Volkonsky, was playing house with her own fiancé’s nephew? Do you have any idea how close you came to destroying our family's leverage?"As if I knew Viktor was my ‘fiancee’ a

LELLAI had barely taken ten steps onto the sidewalk when the world seemed to turn into a wall of black wool. A tall man in a dark suit and earpiece stepped directly into my path. He didn't touch me, but his stance was a physical barrier I couldn't cross."Dr. Sandoval, Mr. Volkonsky has requested that we escort you home immediately. The car is right here."He gestured to a familiar armored SUV idling at the curb.Viktor assigned a driver for me? For what? Conrad is in the hospital, probably ashamed of what he did."I'm going to meet my brother. Tell Viktor I'm not a child and I don't need a chaperone," I snapped.I tried to sidestep him, but as I moved to the left, another man appeared, then another one. I stepped back as they created a human funnel that led directly to the open rear door of the vehicle. People passing by began to slow down, their eyes widening at the sight of a young woman surrounded by a small army of security. The curious and judgmental whispers started insta

LELLAI stared at the blinking cursor on my computer screen as the data points blurred into a hazy mess. My hands were ice-cold, my head was aching, and I didn't sleep a wink last night.I closed my eyes, the conversation with Joaquin from last night echoing in my ears.—-“You're getting married, Lorelei Alvarez.”I stared at Joaquin’s face, twisted in a mixture of protective fury and deep-seated regret and looked back down at the ring on my hand, trying to digest his words in my head.I… what? Getting married? “What the hell are you saying, Joaquin?”Joaquin stood up with a weary sigh. "Our father signed the contracts two years ago, right after you vanished. He sold you to the Volkonsky empire to save our family’s assets in Spain. I’ve been fighting him for twenty-four months to keep your name out of the papers, to keep Viktor’s hands off you–”“WAIT!” I screamed, causing him to stop talking. “W-Who… W-Who's the groom again?”I swallowed hard as my hand gripped the small box tigh

VIKTORI kicked the doors of the boardroom that silenced the room instantly and walked past the row of stunned vice presidents. At the head of the table, my older brother, Alek, was leaning back, with a wide grin on his face as he shared a joke with the CFO.The second he saw me, his smile curdled.He leaned his back as he straightened his silk tie. “Viktor, we’re in the middle of the quarterly projections. I assumed you’d at least have the courtesy to–""Out," I coldly said and simply looked at the men flanking him. "All of you."The executives scrambled to the door until the door shut behind the last of them. “What the hell is this? You can't just storm into my office and–"I reached into my coat and pulled out the file case, throwing it onto the center of the table. It slid across the wood, coming to a dead stop inches from his chest."Your son is a stain on this family name." Alek looked down at the file with a frown. "Conrad? He’s in the hospital, Viktor! That woman atta

LELLA“Slow down.”I almost choked when Viktor talked, cutting off the silence in the air.I have been trying to finish the food he prepared as quickly as I can because I want to get out of here as quickly as I can. But it seems he noticed me filling my mouth nonstop.I drank some water and set my fork down for a moment, glancing at the crystal glass of deep red wine in his hand."Are you not going to eat? I thought you were supposed to have a meeting today."Viktor leaned back against the counter, swirled the wine in his glass, and watched the legs of the liquid coat the sides. "I had a meeting in DC. I ate on the flight back," he simply said.The realization hit me. He hadn't just 'landed back in New York' by coincidence. He was out of town, likely busy with the very empire, and he had cut his trip short the moment the news of the "accident" broke. He came back because of what happened to Conrad and handled the fallout that involved me."You came back because of what happened,

LELLAWe weren't at my apartment. We weren't even at the Valerius Pharmaceuticals headquarters.The car was idling in front of a familiar building and everything that happened that night flashed in my head in an instant. I swallowed nervously.“W-Why are we here?” I turned to him with my flushed face. "Viktor, wh-what are we doing here? Yo-You said you were taking me back," I stuttered.Viktor was busy tapping a final command into his phone before sliding it into his pocket. "I said I'm driving you back," he corrected smoothly. "I never specified whose home.""Viktor–”"I need to make sure you're fine, Lella.”“I am well, Viktor.”He pointed at my wounded temple. “You are not well.” Before I could protest, he stepped out of the car, rounding the back to open my door himself and extending a hand toward me. "I have a private physician on the way to check that wound properly. No arguments, so now get out."My hands clenched at the strap of my seatbelt as I stared at his outst

LELLA"He's not even a scientist or a doctor," I uttered to the empty elevator, pressing the button for the lobby with a little more force than necessary. Maybe Viktor won't tell Conrad that I'm here. That's the only thing I'm worried about. In the first place, he was the one who kept insisting t

LELLAMy jaw dropped as I stood rooted to the floor with my leather portfolio clutched so tightly against my chest that my hands trembled."You've got to be kidding me," I breathed.Viktor leaned back in his leather executive chair, looking infuriatingly handsome and too comfortable. He twirled a

LELLAAs the following days passed quickly, I spent my days busy with my resume. I had graduated with a degree in medicine, a path I had chosen out of genuine passion before my life became a series of "favors" and "obligations" to the men in my family and, eventually, to Conrad. For the first ti

LELLAI gasped, startled at the ringing of my phone. I groaned as my head felt like it was being squeezed in a vice, a parting gift from the lack of sleep. I fumbled for the phone on the nightstand, squinting my eyes at the caller ID.It's Joaquin."Hello?""Lorelei, are you safe?" My brow fur
