My ex's uncle is my husband.

Chapter 2 Betrayal and HumiliationElizabeth travels in one of her father's cars with one of the drivers while sitting in the back seat, sending several messages to Taylor."Where are you? Why aren't you responding to any of my messages? I'm heading to the college to meet you," she warned impatiently.But Taylor wasn't at the college, and a woman picked up his phone, reading the message and stifling a laugh before tossing the phone to the other side of the bed."Who was it?" Taylor asked disinterestedly, lying relaxed on the bed."Your screwed-up girlfriend," she mocked. "I don't know how you manage a relationship with her. She has nothing to offer. You haven't even been intimate.""Yeah..." He lamented sarcastically."When will you break up?" she asked, sitting at the edge of the bed, showing disinterest."Soon. I don't want any connection with her since I fell in love with you. After all, she's nobody compared to you.""But... even if she doesn't give you anything, you've spent so m

Chapter 4. Absurd Proposal"Hey, back off!" He shouted, stepping out of the car a few meters ahead of Elizabeth."What?" She murmured, confused, looking in the same direction as the man. She spotted the thief who got startled and ran off because of Richard."You should be more careful, what are you doing by the roadside?" He asked, walking towards her.Elizabeth stood up but fell to the ground while trying to step back, landing on the grass."What do you want?" She asked, startled, her vision still blurry as she wiped away tears."You're so careless." He grumbled, holding her wrist to help her up." What are you doing in a place like this?"Who are you?" She growled, moving away, alarmed."Damn it..." He muttered inaudibly, backing away from her." You study at Elêusis campus, right?He swallowed, trying to disguise his posture, but she eyed him suspiciously, never having seen that man before."Who are you?"I'm one of the contributors to that place.She furrowed her brow, puzzled, as s

chapter 6: Destined It was nighttime, and Elizabeth's father was in his office with his wife, who was pacing back and forth anxiously. "Do you think she saw it?" She asked anxiously. "I showed her, the investigator said she entered while they were still there. "And the elder Campbell? Is he still available for the marriage? "Despite Richard being a sought-after man, and he rarely shows up for this, he wouldn't find a wife so quickly. He's so calculating and meticulous; he wouldn't choose just any woman, even to throw us off and make me keep my word. "You don't know if he really hasn't found someone; if I were you, I wouldn't count on that man's coldness. He might just want to use any woman when it comes to such an important matter. "Not that man, he's not that type. "Well... what's the deadline, at least? "Actually, I hope Elizabeth decides tomorrow. I want her to be able to marry before her brothers go to the United States; they won't think about going until they're sure thei

Chapter 8: The Man I'm Going to MarryElizabeth could hardly rest; she headed to the garden, where she walked until late, pondering how Taylor would react upon learning that she was suddenly married. Yet, she was also afraid, having no idea who the man she was marrying was. This troubled her chest even more. In seconds, she thought of a thousand possibilities and hells she might experience at the hands of this man her father deemed someone who would keep her safe.After much contemplation, her insomnia only worsened. Still, she retreated to her room and locked herself in. Early in the morning, she awoke to her mother opening the curtains of her large window, flooding the room with light."Mom!" she protested as the maids entered eagerly."Get up, okay? Even though it's a blind marriage, let's make it perfect. You're getting married today, and everything is being arranged in haste.""And this dress?" she asked indifferently as the maid carefully placed the shimmering crystal-like piece

Chapter 10: Subtle AttractionFor Elizabeth, the wedding felt like a funeral; her stomach churned constantly. After the forced "yes" and the ceremony concluded with the signed contracts, there was no further contact between them.She remained in the hall since her father wouldn't allow her to leave."So?" Gaby asked, apprehensive."I just want to get out of here as soon as possible!" Elizabeth grumbled, while sneakily observing Richard, who was beside her father and mother, all engrossed in lively conversation.Her parents smiled eagerly, and Richard attempted to appear receptive, even if he didn't smile. However, in a few brief seconds of contact, his gaze met Elizabeth's sulking stare, one of the few things that made him feel like laughing, though it remained a mere urge."That jerk, how dare he go through with the marriage," she continued grumbling."Why do you keep complaining? He doesn't seem so bad, even if the circumstances aren't the best.""You know... I didn't tell you, but
