Daxton

“Cute” A smile stretched the corner of my lips as I stared at the unaware picture Josh had taken of Verena with the caption ‘She’s settled in, sir.’

Words were not enough to describe the warmth that spread on my chest knowing that she was now close to me. While Verena thought that our story was over, I had spent the last two weeks decorating this room for her.

I wanted to create a space where she was comfortable, a space better than her own home and now, I couldn't help but wonder if she loved the room.

Was it to her taste?

Suddenly, the smile on my face slowly faltered when a knock sounded on my office door. I twisted on the couch, watching as the door creaked open when the receptionist poked her head inside—eyes searching around until they landed on me.

She straightened immediately, offering me a small smile. “You have a guest”

“Who?” I raised a brow.

“Mr—” Before she could finish, a familiar head of messy brown hair appeared behind her and the smile o

  • In Bed With My Ex-Husband’s Uncle    The idea of Space

    Daxton Anger seethed through me as I stared at the cold bowl of noodles—the one I’d made her. I should have grabbed her by the wrist, shoved her against the wall, and kissed her until she melted into my arms. But I didn’t. Instead, what did I do? I remained in the same spot helpless, like a dummy as the word ‘space’ spiraled into an endless loop in my head. What the fuck did ‘I will be needing space from you for a few days’ even mean? I’d searched those words online, going through websites to understand what the concept of ‘space’ meant. Time to reflect, boundaries, and a breathing room— they all spat and churned out the same nonsense. If she wanted space, didn’t that mean she was leaving? And

  • In Bed With My Ex-Husband’s Uncle    To know you

    Verena I paced in the hallway. The random cuffs sitting in his drawer. The basement where he kept Kian in torture for days. His admission to framing Cassandra. It all came back to me and I couldn't help but feel scared. Not of him. But of things he could be. Daxton wasn't the perfect businessman he posed as, he was involved in something far more dangerous than the image he had always shown me. And to add to the top of the list, the fact that a gang worked for him. It was either that he was that influential or straight-up engaged in criminal activity. I needed answers because I didn't know Daxton. Not at all. Daisy barked and I figured out that Daxton was back home. I rushed down the stairs, his face coming into view as he brushed his hand through Daisy’s fur, his eyes coasting over to mine. “Hey, Pr

  • In Bed With My Ex-Husband’s Uncle    Dog Park

    Verena I walked Daisy to the Dog park. That’s been my new routine since I returned from New Orleans. Take her on a walk after work and return home to take care of my bunnies. Daisy never hesitated to show that she loved coming here to play with the other dogs. She wagged her tail, ears flopping, tongue lolling while I ran a finger through her fur, falling to one knee and unclipping her leash. “Have fun, Daisy and…” I had barely completed my words when she sprinted to the gate, another golden retriever bounding towards her, sniffing my Daisy. I whipped my phone out, ready to take pictures to share with Daxton when a voice touched my ears. The back of my neck prickled from the familiarity of that voice. I just hoped it wasn't who I thought it was&

  • In Bed With My Ex-Husband’s Uncle    The best day

    Zita Verena had to be the most heartless woman that I’d ever met. Cold. Stone-hearted. She was so impossible. How could she return every gift box that I sent? All the other gift boxes that I sent to some important wedding guests were made by the maids. But, I had actually put my heart and money into everything that I sent to Verena only for her to dump it into the trash and send a picture of it. Well, it wasn’t her fault. It was mine. If it weren’t for the fear Kian had instilled in me—about his uncle—Verena would be the last person that I would ever send a wedding invite to. At first, I disregarded Kian’s warning—thinking that he was only being paranoid because of the fear of his uncle. Plus, no one knew that I was the one who tipped Mandy off. That was wha

  • In Bed With My Ex-Husband’s Uncle    Ten Minutes

    Verena I heaved another frustrated sigh, staring at the letter in the unwrapped gift box. Zita was bent on infuriating me. This wasn’t normal anymore. I reached for the letter, unfolding it—face devoid of any emotion. It read; “Dearest Verena, I will keep trying until you accept my request to be friends. I want us to put the past behind us and move on to something better. To begin this new chapter together, would you honor me by joining my bridesmaids?” “It would mean the world to me. Have a nice day. Please don’t send back the invitation this time. Love you.” This ridiculous cycle of her sending back the invitations that I already returned has been going on for a week now. It first started when she texted me a digital copy of the Invitation. I a

  • In Bed With My Ex-Husband’s Uncle    Invite

    Kian It’s been three days, and I still haven't moved on from what happened in Nina’s house. My explosive reaction to hearing my Uncle and Verena have sex. The stupid fight that I had with my uncle and most importantly, the horrible names that I called Verena. Everything haunted me back. Since then, I have been crafting apology messages in my head to Verena. I couldn’t even face her after the embarrassing moment because I was sure she hated me now. Worse than before. If I had supernatural powers, I would have erased that moment from my memory. Nina said I was doing too much. I was just relieved that she didn’t tell my parents about it. I exhaled, about to grab my fork when Zita’s voice stopped me. “I think we are soulmates—” She slanted her head, a smile tilting her lips as she raised the fork to her mouth. That was totally unexpected. Confusion muddled my brain as I raised a brow. “What?” She dropped her fork, leaned forward with that smile still plastered o
