last update Last Updated: 2025-08-26 14:02:08

Miley’s POV

It had been three days, and Clifford still hadn’t come home. I hadn’t seen him at the office either, though Cara sometimes mentioned he would drop by for his meetings. Even Chanda was rarely at the house these days. I tried to bury myself in work, refusing to think too much, but deep down I knew I was burning out.

So one late afternoon, instead of calling the driver, I decided to go on my own. I hurried out of the lobby and onto the street, raising my hand to hail a taxi. I didn’t even bother telling Cara—I only sent her a quick text.

That’s when an orange Toyota Wigo stopped in front of me. The window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

“Millicent, is that you? Headed somewhere? I can give you a ride,” he offered.

I frowned, trying to remember where I’d seen him before. Catching the confusion on my face, he quickly stepped out of the car and walked over.

“It’s me—Oliver. From the party? Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten me. That hurts,” he said in mock offense.

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 63. Uneasy

    Miley’s POVThe moment the call ended, my brows furrowed. I hadn’t realized Clifford had already hung up on me. The last tone of his voice before the line went dead—confused, rushed, and as if he was hiding something. And I couldn’t ignore the sound of his heavy breathing.I set my phone down on the table, but my hand wouldn’t stay still. A strange unease crept into my chest, as though something was wrong.I drew a deep breath and tried to shift my focus to the papers he had left in his office—contracts, reports, and stacks of documents scattered before me. I tried to drown my thoughts in the scratch of the ballpen gliding across the paper, anything to quiet the tightness building inside me.But the longer I tried, the worse it became. Every tick of the wall clock thundered in my ears. He’s just busy… maybe he’s handling something important, I whispered to myself. Yet no matter how much I tried to convince myself, the heaviness in my chest would not ease.My gaze slid back to the phon

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 62. The Real Culprit

    Clifford’s POV“Fuck! Fuck!” I couldn’t stop cursing. It felt like the enemies just wouldn’t run out. I had promised myself I would never stain my hands with blood again, but right now, I had no choice. If I didn’t kill them, they’d be the ones killing me.Gustav and I bolted out of the warehouse, ducking behind a parked vehicle. I gasped for breath, wiping the sweat streaming down my forehead.“Boss, we need to escape. We can’t take them on. It’s just the two of us,” he muttered, his voice strained. That’s when I noticed the gunshot wound in his side, his lips pale from blood loss.I had a bullet lodged in my shoulder too, but I ignored the pain. Drawing in a deep breath, I said, “Save yourself, Gustav. I’ll go back for Aurelius.”“H-Hell no, Boss,” he stammered, shaking his head, his eyes glassy. He looked ready to cry.I dragged my palm down my face. For a man built like a giant, his heart was soft. He would gladly give his life for me. How could I throw him to the wolves? My thoug

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 61. Gunfire

    Clifford’s POV I knew at that very moment Aurelius was seconds away from pissing his pants after everything I had just revealed. But there was still one more card up my sleeve—something he didn’t know yet. Once I showed it to him, the last shred of courage he was holding onto would crumble to dust. I lowered the gun from his forehead, sat down on a nearby crate, and let my eyes sweep over his men surrounding me. Silently, I counted them, calculating. There were over twenty of them, Aurelius included. Gustav was with me, but I had ordered him to stay in the car. All I had on me was a .45, and twenty men to go through. Breaking the silence, I said, “Did you know when I got the chance to meet with Big Boss, I never showed up? Instead, I went straight to the company—because I found out one of your men was tailing my wife.” His brows knitted together as his face snapped toward me. “What the hell are you talking about? I was at the place where we were supposed to meet. I didn’t order an

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 60. Confrontation

    Clifford’s POVMy grip tightened around the gun at my side as my glare bored into the man who murdered Cara. My jaw clenched, rage simmering beneath my skin, while he sat there with that same unflinching stare. Once, I had treated him like a brother—but he betrayed me. He dragged my innocent, defenseless niece into his mess.“So, Clifford,” Aurelius sneered, lounging casually on the crate like this was nothing. “Are we just going to stand here staring at each other? Why don’t you pull that trigger already?”The same warehouse. The same place they had once dragged me into.“You bastard,” I spat, my voice low but sharp with venom. “How could you? How could you do that to her? You knew Cara. You held her in your arms once—at her baptism, damn it. Didn’t you feel even a shred of mercy for her?”His men surrounded me. I knew one wrong move—one twitch of my finger—and they’d open fire without hesitation.For a fleeting moment, I expected to see some crack in his armor, a flicker of remorse.

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 59. I Love You

    Miley’s POVI went downstairs to the first floor, heading toward the kitchen when hunger struck me. My feet were bare, but it didn’t matter—the floor was carpeted anyway. The whole place was shrouded in darkness, with only the heavy rain outside breaking the silence. Now and then, flashes of lightning illuminated the shadows, throwing fleeting shapes across the walls.Not a single soul was in sight. Perhaps everyone was already asleep—it was the middle of the night, after all. But what unsettled me was the absence of even a single bodyguard.I froze mid-step when something damp touched my foot. My skin brushed against something solid. A streak of lightning tore through the night sky, flooding the room with light just long enough for me to see. My eyes widened in horror as I staggered back.“C-Chanda…” I stammered, my voice shaking.She was sprawled across the floor, blood spilling from her mouth, her eyes wide open and lifeless.I dropped to my knees and crawled toward her, trembling

    Miley’s POVSweat trickled down my temples as I stood before the bare wall, hands on my hips. I had just cleared out the decorations, and the rest I had asked the bodyguards to remove. Now, nothing clung to the space.I followed Ofe’s advice, but I decided to start with the master’s bedroom. It was good timing too, since Clifford was away on a week-long business trip. This was his third day gone, and I already missed him. He called, yes, but always in a rush, his voice hurried, fleeting—like I was just another task to tick off his schedule. Instead of wasting my days drowning in thoughts of him, I chose to do what had been gnawing at me for weeks.“Miley, the things you ordered are here,” Nora’s voice broke my focus.A smile spread on my face when I saw her, arms full of paper bags, followed by the other house staff. Behind them, a bodyguard carried the large framed photo of Clifford and me from our wedding.“Boys, could you hang that above the bed?” I instructed, pointing to the wall
