Miley’s POV

A few days later I was finally feeling better. Clifford and I went back to the company. He had a few things to handle—share transfers since one of the senior shareholders was retiring and their child would be taking over.

We were due to attend a farewell party for that shareholder tonight, but for now it was all work.

I was sitting in front of my computer finishing the monthly report I needed to submit to Clifford. While I typed I suddenly felt a little dizzy; I blinked and paused for a moment. Maybe my eyes were tired from staring at the monitor all day.

I took off my glasses, wiped them clean, and rubbed my eyes.

“Hey, are you okay?” Clifford asked—I hadn’t realized he’d come up behind me.

I put my glasses back on, looked up and gave him a small smile. “Yeah. Probably just eye strain,” I answered.

“Stop working for now and rest,” he ordered.

“I can’t. This monthly report is due, and I don’t want you heading into a board meeting without a progress report,” I explained.

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 100. Bad News

    Chanda’s POVI woke up with my head splitting from a hangover. Sitting up, I glanced at the clock on my bedside table—seven in the evening. I’d only just gotten home from the club at dawn and crashed straight into bed. I didn’t even bother looking for Clifford and Miley since I was sure they’d still be asleep.I went straight to the bathroom to freshen up, then headed downstairs to the kitchen in search of food. I was certain either Miley or Nora had cooked something.But the place was empty. No one was in the kitchen, and by the looks of it, no one had even touched the counters. Back in the living room, I noticed there were fewer bodyguards around than usual.I decided to check the maids’ quarters, but just as I turned, Nora appeared out of nowhere, making me jump.“Sh*t! Do you have to pop out like that?” I snapped, clutching my chest.She didn’t answer, and I immediately noticed her face—drawn, uneasy, almost scared. Typical Nora.“M-Ma’am Chanda—” she stammered, and for some reaso

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 99. No Match

    Clifford’s POVI squinted against the flood of light that poured into the room when Orly flipped the switch. That same twisted grin was still plastered on his scarred face, as if reminding me I was beneath him. The rifle slung across his chest swung slightly as he walked toward me.I was still chained—my wrists and ankles rubbed raw from struggling. My stomach growled after days without food. To them, I was nothing more than a prisoner to be tortured whenever they pleased.I turned my gaze away, unable to stand the sight of his scarred face and bloodshot eyes. I spat on the floor, a streak of red liquid splattering as it left my mouth.“I’ve got good news for you, Steel…” he crooned in a sing-song voice.I stayed silent, not even bothering to look at him. If his “good news” meant Horacio was finally going to kill me, so be it. But I’d make sure to at least try to escape before then.Even in my weakness, the thought of Miley gave me strength. I would fight—I had to go back to her.“C’m

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 98. The Old Man's True Identity

    Miley’s POVI wiped the tears streaming down my cheeks and stared at the closed door of the room where I was being held. I wanted nothing more than to go home and see Clifford, but I couldn’t even save myself.I was terrified that if I fought back, they might hurt me—or worse, our child. I’d lost count of how many times I’d prayed for Clifford to come and rescue us. But I couldn’t help thinking that maybe something had happened to him too—that’s why he still hadn’t come for me.Sniffling, I pushed myself up from the bed. I had to talk to whoever had taken me. I didn’t know how yet, but I had to try.I stepped slowly toward the door, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. Drawing in a deep breath to loosen the knot in my throat, I was almost there when the door suddenly opened. I froze and stumbled back slightly, my eyes going wide at the sight of the old man standing before me.“You…?” I whispered.He was the same old man I’d seen at the farewell party Clifford and I had attended.“Yes

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 97. Chained

    Clifford’s POVI woke when cold water splashed across my face. I forced my swollen eyes open—swollen from the beating Horacio’s men had given me—and slowly the grinning face of one of them, Orlando, came into focus as he stood there holding an empty bucket.Behind him stood Horacio, watching me with that serious, creased expression I couldn’t read. I grinned and struggled against the bindings on my wrists. The chain dug into my skin and hurt, but I didn’t care—there was only one thing on my mind: getting out of this place.“You’ve got nerve, Steel. You’re grinning even when you look like hell,” Orlando taunted.“Why shouldn’t I? You’re only brave because I’m tied up. Try untying me and you’ll see what I came here for. I’ll smash that skull of yours into your neck,” I shot back, mocking him.“You’re an idiot—” he was about to strike me with the bucket he held when Horacio’s voice filled the room.“Enough, Orly! Leave us alone,” he ordered, and walked toward where I was.I spat to the s

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 96. Weak

    Miley’s POVI woke in a room I didn’t recognize, its emptiness pressing down on me like a weight. Nothing but the bed beneath me, four bare walls, and a barred window that allowed no light, no freedom.My stomach lurched before I could gather my thoughts. I staggered toward the bathroom, barely making it to the sink before retching, the acid burning up my throat. I collapsed on the cold tiles, shaking, one hand wrapped protectively over my abdomen.The baby…Just last night, I’d been overjoyed. Hopeful. Now that joy curdled into raw fear. What if they had done something to me? What if the sickness wasn’t from pregnancy, but from whatever they injected or fed me?The thought clawed through my mind, leaving me cold.I forced myself to stand, clinging to the wall for balance. I couldn’t give in to panic. Clifford would come for me—I knew that—but I couldn’t sit here and wait like prey. I had to fight. I had to escape.Climbing onto the toilet, I peered through the small, barred window. D

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 95. Kidnapped

    Miley’s POVMy hands trembled as I held the pregnancy test kit. I couldn’t even bring myself to look at it, fear consuming me with every second that passed. The words of the doctor replayed in my mind after I had called her earlier.“D-Doc, I-I think…I-I’m p-pregnant…” I had whispered.I remembered the heavy sigh she let out. I wasn’t sure if she was upset that I had called her at such a late hour.“Are you with your husband, Miss Alfonso?” she asked.“N-No, I… I’m alone. I’m sorry, Doc, for disturbing you this late. I just can’t stay still. I don’t want to tell my husband about my suspicion until I’m certain. You know about my case… but this time, I think I really am pregnant,” I explained, referring to the phantom pregnancy I had once gone through.“I understand you, Miss Alfonso… It’s difficult when you’re stressed—”“I’m not stressed!” My voice rose without my control, but I quickly regretted it. “I-I’m sorry, Doc. I just want to know what I should do first to confirm it. Do I nee
