Damian Pov

I fastened the last button of my cuff when my phone vibrated against the bedside table.

Grandpa.

His name lingered on the screen for a moment before I answered.

"Good morning, Grandpa."

"Good morning, Damian." His voice was as calm as ever. "Have you given any thought to what we discussed?"

I didn't need him to say another word. I already knew where this was going.

I turned away from the bed and walked to the window, watching the morning traffic far below.

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 118 : Alone In The Spotlight

    Ariana Pov "Who the hell do you think you are?"The words tore out of me, sharp with anger. My jaw clenched as I stopped right in front of him, close enough that he had to tilt his head to meet my eyes.The smirk dropped off his face."You barged in on me while I was out with a friend, and all you could do was make a fool of me!""Ariana...""What?"I jabbed a finger at his chest, hard enough that he shifted on his feet. My face burned.He glanced around as if he suddenly cared who was listening."Lower your voice. You're creating a scene."I stared at him. My jaw tightened."I'm creating a scene? I'm the one creating a scene? You just ruined my evening, and I'm the one creating a scene?"My voice shook, but I didn't look away. I held his gaze."You stood in front of a man you barely know and said I have a thing for older men. In front of him, you dragged my dignity through the mud. You did it with a smile, and now I'm the one creating a scene?"His throat bobbed."And now that I thi

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 117 : He Found Out

    Ariana Pov Jonathan's question hung in the air, and I couldn't breathe. Girlfriend? I had walked in thinking this was a date between friends, a celebration after the project. I hadn't expected him to ask me out. And I definitely hadn't expected to be sitting here as the girl who had told him she was single. I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. "Ariana." He leaned forward, his brows drawn together. "Just say something." I stared at him, still speechless. He reached across the table and took my hands, his face full of concern. Mine were damp. I hoped he couldn't tell. I tried again, forcing my lips to move. "I..." "Look who we have here." The familiar voice cut through my attempt to speak. I turned towards it slowly, and my jaw dropped. Adrian? What was he doing here? Standing right in front of our table? Him? Seriously? Of all the people I could run into tonight, it had to be him. My jaw tightened. The nerve of him. He had actually stood there and told me I

    Jonathan Pov "Ariana." She turned. The lamplight caught the grey of her dress and the delicate line of her collarbone, bare without the sapphire necklace. Then she smiled. "Jonathan. You were wonderful." "So were you." She laughed softly. "We both did perfectly. Partners." "Partners," I agreed. I held out my hand, and she took it. We shook hands, then laughed at how formal the gesture felt. "The pictures came out beautifully," she said. "Did you see how many people were taking them?" "I did. The reporters wouldn't leave us alone." I smiled. "And the story we gave them about the jewellery was convincing. I almost believed we were telling our own love story." "Almost?" She raised an eyebrow. "All right. I believed it." She laughed. "We make a good team," she said. "The best team." I hesitated. "Have dinner with me tomorrow." She tilted her head. "Dinner?" "The presentation is over, and we've finally finished the project. We can celebrate and relax

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 115 : Under The Spotlight

    Ariana PovThe first week went by in a blur of white light.Chloe ran the calibration on the first morning and never really stopped. Skin-tone checks, reflection tests on the platinum, then the close-ups: my hands setting a stone, the sapphire tilted toward the softbox, Jonathan's loupe held steady beside my wrist. Soon I could find my mark without looking down, and before long I knew which side of my face the camera liked.Jonathan made it easy. He had a way of saying "one more and we're done" that was never true, and somehow I never minded.When the shutter stopped and my neck ached from holding the angle, he glanced at the monitor."Chin down. You're posing like you owe the camera money."I laughed and let my shoulders drop.By the second week, the shoots gave way to interviews.The docuseries crew set up in a corner of Studio B with a single armchair and a lamp, and for hours I sat under it explaining why I had chosen an emerald cut over a round one, why the setting curved the way

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 114 : Poor Little Wife

    Vanessa Pov I finally woke up, stretching beneath the covers as the corners of my lips lifted before I could stop them. Last night kept replaying in my mind. I had been cleaning Damian's injury, pressing the ice against it, and we had been so caught up in each other that neither of us noticed Ariana come in until the cup struck the counter. Damian and I both turned towards the sound. She stood there, watching us. The thought warmed me all the way through. She had walked out with her back straight, and I had not missed the stiffness in her shoulders. A small laugh escaped me. I pressed my lips together, but it only grew, and I turned my face into the pillow to muffle it. Poor little wife. I stretched against the silk sheets, pale light slipping through the curtains. Nothing about this morning needed hurrying. My phone rang on the dressing table. Damian's mom. I sat up, smoothed my hair back and answered. "Good morning, Mom." "Vanessa, my dear. Are you up?" "I

    Damian Pov The door slammed shut behind me. I turned away and headed for the desk. I picked up the glass, poured two fingers of whiskey and walked to the window. I didn't drink. I stood there, staring out at the dark garden, the untouched whiskey in my hand. She had looked me straight in the eye and refused, even with my hands pinning her wrists against the wall. My grip tightened around the glass. I had crossed a line, and there was no excuse for it. She was right. It was her career, her work, and her chance. I had no right to corner her in that corridor. I set the glass down, picked it up again, then turned it slowly between my fingers. Finally, I pushed away from the desk and walked to the window. I stood there, staring out at the dark garden, the glass still in my hand. Every time she stood near another man, something stirred in me. I kept telling myself it meant nothing, but why did it bother me so much? “Get a grip, man,” I muttered to myself as I inhaled, held my bre
