Miley’s POV

“Why aren’t you wearing the clothes I bought for you? Didn’t you like them?” Horacio began.

“I—I don’t want to owe you anything,” I stammered, keeping my eyes fixed on my food.

“Well, you can pay me back,” he said smoothly.

That made me look up—his lips curved into a sly, taunting grin as his gaze roamed over my body.

My grip on the fork tightened, jaw clenching as I tried to contain the fury burning inside me.

I flinched when he suddenly set down his utensils, accidentally hitting a porcelain plate that made a sharp clatter.

“Leave. I want to rest,” I said firmly, refusing to look away from him.

Before he could reply, we both heard a series of knocks at the door. He turned toward the sound, giving me the perfect chance to slip the fork under the couch.

I stood and headed for my bed—but I didn’t realize he had followed until he roughly spun me around. In one swift motion, he pulled at the tie of my robe, and it fell loose—exposing one side of my chest to his gaze.

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 106. Chanda's Past

    Chanda’s POVI was standing outside the gates of Horacio’s vast estate. Stepping out of the car, I looked around at the wide enclosure before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d return to this place—the place where my nightmares began.My hands trembled as I pulled the cigarette from my lips and exhaled a long stream of smoke. I couldn’t stop the flood of memories this place brought back. My chest tightened, and tears welled in my eyes before I shut them tightly.The past came rushing in all at once.“This will be your home from now on, Chanda,” said the old man who had bought me at an auction, smiling as he stroked my hair. I flinched and pulled away, uneasy and afraid.I used to work as a waitress at a bar to help my mother, who earned a living washing clothes. I was only eighteen then. I had no idea that job would mark the beginning of my torment. The bar owner was secretly involved in prostitution—and Horacio was one of his regular clients. That’s where he first saw m

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 104. Ulterior Motive

    Miley’s POVJust like during lunch, Horacio invited me once again to have dinner with him—but this time, I refused. I wasn’t comfortable sitting across from him, especially at the dinner table. There’s something about his presence that I can’t quite read—an aura I can’t decipher if it’s danger or concern. But either way, I have no intention of finding out.I stayed inside my room even when the maid came to call me. I also refused to wear the clothes he bought for me. There were bathrobes in the bathroom closet, so I settled for one of those instead. I had already washed and hung my undergarments, which meant, of course, I wasn’t wearing any beneath the robe.There wasn’t much to do in this room. The TV was there, but I didn’t feel like watching anything. My thoughts kept drifting to Clifford—and how I could possibly escape from here. Horacio may seem to be treating me kindly, but I know he won’t just let me go home if I asked. It feels like he’s waiting for something.I stood from the

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 103. Chanda's Plan

    Miley’s POVI didn’t know why my knees suddenly trembled when our eyes met. I couldn’t even take another step forward.His expression dimmed. He cleared his throat before speaking.“Come, have a seat beside me, hija,” he said, pulling out the chair next to him.I moved like a robot, slowly walking toward him. The silence in the room was deafening, matched only by the pounding of my heart. His sudden gentleness frightened me even more.When I reached the chair he indicated, I didn’t sit right away. I stayed standing, meeting his gaze head-on. The hair on the back of my neck bristled with fear, but I forced myself to ignore it.“What are you planning to do with me now that you know I’m pregnant?” I asked, mustering all the courage I had left.I watched him closely, waiting for a reaction, but his wrinkled face remained unreadable—devoid of emotion. He cleared his throat again and adjusted himself on the grand, throne-like chair he sat on.“If you’re planning to use my pregnancy to get C

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 102. Real Motive

    Miley’s POVI woke to the savory aroma of garlic and onions being sautéed. When I opened my eyes, a bright room greeted me. As I glanced around, I realized I was no longer in the same place as before. A large window covered with white curtains dominated one wall. Though iron grills still barred it, I could clearly see the outside world bathed in sunlight.Aside from the wide window, the bed I was lying on was softer, and the room itself was filled with furniture and belongings—as if it were an ordinary bedroom, not a prison. Slowly, I sat up, instinctively resting a hand on my belly.“How are you feeling?”I flinched at the sudden sound of Horacio’s voice.Peering over the side of the bed, I spotted him seated comfortably in a rocking chair in the corner, as if he’d been waiting for me to wake up.“W-What happened to me?” I wanted to ask about my baby, but I stopped myself. I couldn’t let him know I was pregnant.I swung my legs over the side of the bed, not knowing how long I’d been

    Chanda’s POV“What do you mean the CCTV cameras in your hotel hallways are broken?” I snapped, my voice rising as anger surged through me. The receptionist in front of me flinched slightly, clearly startled. I was at the same hotel where the party had been held, now arguing with one of its staff.She was telling me that I couldn’t view the CCTV footage because the cameras weren’t working at the time of the abduction—and that I’d need a warrant to access them anyway. The f*ck!“Ma’am, I’m really not sure. Please wait for the operator to explain the situation,” she said apologetically.I dragged a hand down my face, resting my arm on the counter. I could hardly stand the incompetence of these people, but since I was the one who needed something, I had no choice but to endure it.“Anyway,” I said, changing the topic, “just tell me which room they occupied that day. Did they leave any belongings behind?” It occurred to me that if they had really been kidnapped, they might have left their
