Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 32: Go Upstairs, Xena.
Xena.“What did you just say?” Dante’s voice intensified as he pressed Gerald against the wall.Gerald grunted, struggling to get free. Meanwhile, his men still had their guns raised at Dante.And the Yale elder seemed not to give a fuck. Personally, I didn't care for the comment. But Dante...“Don't make me repeat myself, Gerald,” he growled. “What. Did. You. Say?”Gerald opened his mouth, but before anything could come out, Dante tossed him to the ground.The guns clicked.“Stop!!!”Everything seemed to freeze at Gerald's command. The guards hesitated for a while, just glancing at each other, unsure of what to do.I rolled my eyes.“Put the guns down. Jeez, does everyone in the Yale family have a screw loose?”They didn't say anything at first. Then one of them looked at Gerald, while the other kept his eyes on Dante.“Drop the guns, boys.” Gerald coughed, then managed to sit up, blood trickling from his nose.At that, they dropped their weapons.Gerald sat up slowly.Like a man who

Dante."I just met Reeves."At first, I wasn't sure if I'd heard correctly. But after three seconds, I realized my brain was working fine."Are you sure you didn't see someone else?" I asked, immediately getting up and heading toward my wardrobe."Oh, because someone would just walk past me, lean in, and say, 'Hey, my name is Reeves, the most notorious criminal and billionaire in all of Chicago.'"She sounded so exasperated and frustrated. A little tigress, if you asked me."Yeah..." I adjusted my cuffs. "We have crazy people everywhere. You wouldn't know the half of it."She heaved a sigh, and I could swear I heard her curse under her breath."Where are you?""Don't worry about it," she replied flatly. "I'll come back myself."What did I do now?Before I could ask, the line went dead.Just great. Women and their hormonal attitudes. Not that I was complaining.I stared at the phone for a second.Why would he show up now?I turned back to the mirror and finished with my cuffs. My refle
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 30: Why Me?
Xena.The prison was forty minutes outside the city.I spent thirty-nine of them looking out the window.The city thinned as we drove. Buildings giving way to highways and to the specific nowhere that exists between places. Grey sky and bare trees. The kind of landscape that didn't have opinions about anything.I had enough opinions for both of us.Why me?I'd been carrying that question since the gala. Through the contract signing and the one night stand and the business trip and the studio burning and gasoline on my apartment floor. I had theories. I had guesses. I had Dante's surveillance reports, Hannah's phone messages and three years of living inside a family that had never once looked at me like I was worth protecting.None of it was the same as hearing it from her mouth.Today I was going to hear it from her mouth.I wasn't entirely sure I was ready.I looked out the window and got ready anyway.The car stopped at the facility. I stepped out and was immediately surrounded by

Xena.The city blurred as we drove through the cold night. I looked out the window, my mind drifting.What was with that smile?I'd never seen Hannah smile that way before. Not once in my entire life. Not when we were children, not at the gala, not in all the months she spent making my life inside the Yale household a calculated nightmare.This was different.My fingers tightened around my own arm without me telling them to.Beside me, Dante hadn't spoken since we got in the car. I didn't need to look at him to know that smile was sitting in his chest the same way it was sitting in mine. He had that quality of stillness that wasn't peace. The kind that meant something was running very fast underneath a very controlled surface.The city kept moving outside the glass.Neither of us said a word which somehow said everything.The house was quiet when we got home. The staff were still awake, but they'd started closing up.Even they had to rest from time to time.We walked in, and not a wor

Dante. Xena sat on the passenger's seat, obviously still shaken from last night.Her dark hair which was usually tied into a pony tail was now down, covering half of her face. Honestly I wouldn't blame her. I got her perspective, twenty years of trying to reclaim what's mine and I'd nearly ran mad. For a brief moment, I thought of everything that had happened so far. And realized… there hasn't really been any difficulties.Which was weird on its own. Usually dealing with my family was dangerous.Adrian had apologized with no ground, Gerald just remained silent and all of a sudden Xena was facing the backlash.I was missing something or rather someone. Reeves.The name crossed my mind and before I could dwell on it, my phone rang. I stared at the device. It was an unknown caller.Of all the times… I picked it up. “What is it?” My voice came out colder than intended. “Well good morning to you too…” Victor's voice came through.I nearly tossed the phone out of irritation but inst
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 27: You Matter To Me
Xena.I woke up before sunrise.For a few seconds, I didn't remember where I was.The mattress was softer than the one in my apartment. The room was bigger. The curtains were heavier.Then the memories arrived one after another.My eyes drifted toward the ceiling.I was back in the Yale house. Again.The realization sat strangely in my chest. Like a piece that had been removed from a puzzle and then fitted back into place without anybody discussing it.I rolled onto my side and stared at the digital clock on the nightstand.6:14 a.m.Sleep wasn't happening again.Not after last night. Not after watching three years of my life burn from the opposite side of a police barricade.I pushed myself upright and swung my legs over the side of the bed.The room was quiet. The entire house felt quiet.For a moment, I sat there and let myself think about the studio.The scratched drafting table I'd bought secondhand and spent three days refinishing myself.The wall of fabric samples.The coffee m
