Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle The truth
Layla’s eyes shifted slowly to the last man in the room.Ross.He had been silent until now,watching everything unfold with a dark, unreadable expression.“It wasn’t us Layla!.” Liam continued. “It was my father! He’s the one who ordered it! He’s the one who sent those men! Release me and my mom! We had nothing to do with it! He’s the guilty one! He did this because Elias was destroying our company! Please, Layla! Tell Elias to let us go!”Ross Carter, who had been sitting silently in the corner with his hands and feet chained, suddenly looked shocked. His face twisted with disbelief and fury as he heard his own son throwing him under the bus so quickly.“Liam!” Ross barked, his voice hoarse but sharp. “Shut your mouth!”But Liam turned on his father, his eyes wild with fear and self-preservation.“No!” Liam snapped back, his voice shaking. “I’m not taking the blame for this! You think I’m going down for something I didn’t do?. It was you! You ordered those people to kill Layla’s fami
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Questioning
Layla suddenly turned to Elias.“Where is Liam?” she asked. Her voice was quiet, but there was a cold edge to it that hadn’t been there before.Elias stared at her for a long moment. He looked at her for a long second—his gaze unreadable, heavy, searching her face like he was trying to measure something deeper than her question.He didn’t take her hand this time. He simply gave a small nod and began walking deeper into the warehouse and Layla followed without hesitation. Marcus fell into step behind them, his blood-stained hands hanging loosely at his sides.The corridor narrowed as the air grew thicker and more oppressive. The stench of blood and fear intensified. They passed several locked metal doors before Marcus stepped forward,unlocked the one at the very end and pushed the heavy door open with a loud creak.They entered a larger, dimly lit room. Layla's eyes adjusted slowly to the dim light—And then she saw them.The first person Layla’s eyes landed on was Mrs. Carter.She sa
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle The Warehouse
The words hung between them like a promise and a threat at the same time.Layla didn’t ask any more questions. She simply turned her face toward the window again, but something new flickered in her cold eyes.Anticipation.The car continued driving through the city, heading toward the outskirts where the warehouse waited — the place where the men who had destroyed her family were being held.Elias watched her silently. He knew what was coming and he was ready to let her decide how far they would go.The black car glided through the city streets, moving away from the familiar neighborhoods and into the industrial outskirts. The sun had already begun its slow descent, painting the sky in deep oranges and purples that bled into the horizon. Inside the vehicle, silence hung heavy between Layla and Elias.Layla sat by the window, her forehead occasionally resting against the cool glass. The world outside blurred past — abandoned factories, rusted fences, empty lots overgrown with weeds. S
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Crime scene
“Come in.”Elias’s voice was calm and low as he answered the knock on the door. He remained seated beside Layla’s hospital bed with one hand still resting protectively near hers.The door opened slowly, and the doctor from earlier entered, holding a clipboard. He gave both of them a polite nod, his expression professional but kind.“Good morning Mr. Thorne,” the doctor greeted.Elias nodded. “Good morning,How are you feeling today, Miss Layla?”Layla didn’t answer immediately. She simply looked at him with tired, shadowed eyes. Elias gently helped her sit up a little straighter against the pillows.The doctor performed a quick check — listening to her heart, checking her blood pressure, shining a small light into her eyes. He asked a few simple questions about dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Layla answered in short, quiet words.After the examination, the doctor pulled up a chair and sat down, facing them both.“Your collapse last night was due to extreme emotional shock and physi
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Apology
“Oldie. I’m sorry.” The words slipped out of Layla’s mouth suddenly, raw and heavy, breaking the quiet tension in the hospital ward.Elias paused, the spoon of warm soup hovering near her lips. He looked at her for a long moment, his dark eyes searching her face. There was exhaustion in his gaze, deep guilt, and something softer — love that refused to leave even after she had pushed him away so violently the night before.He didn’t respond to her apology right away. Instead, he gently brought the spoon to her mouth.“Eat first,” he said quietly, his voice low and steady. “You need strength.”Layla hesitated, then opened her mouth and accepted the food. She ate slowly, spoonful after spoonful, while Elias fed her with careful patience. The soup was warm and light, easy on her empty stomach. She finished every bite he offered — the soft bread, the cut fruits, the juice. She ate without speaking with her eyes mostly downcast. The dark cloud that had settled in her heart the night before
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Boundary
Morning light filtered weakly through the hospital blinds, casting pale stripes across the ward room. It didn’t carry warmth. It didn’t bring comfort. It only made everything clearer.Layla stirred slowly.Her body felt heavy, like it didn’t belong to her anymore. Every movement dragged, every breath felt deeper than it should,like every part of her had been drained of strength. Her throat was dry and raw from all the crying the night beforeHer eyes fluttered open slowly and for a few seconds, she stared at the white ceiling, confused, until the memories crashed back in — the gunshots, her mother falling, her father in the study, Nadia bleeding on the floor, her own collapse.A soft whimper escaped her lips while her eyes shut immediately, like that could push it away but it didn’t.She tried to sit up, but her arms were too weak.“Layla.”Elias was there instantly.He had barely slept, staying awake all night watching over her.His eyes were tired but alert.He leaned forward, slidin
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Confident
The cold night air outside the warehouse felt almost unreal after everything that had just happened.Layla stepped out beside Elias, the wind brushing against her face as if the world was reminding her she was still alive. Her legs felt slightly weak as they crossed the empty industrial yard toward
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Gone in seconds
Across the city, Elias sat in the back of his car while the skyline drifted past the tinted windows.Traffic crawled slowly along the highway, red brake lights stretching endlessly ahead like a glowing river. Elias’s attention wasn’t on the road. It was on his phone. Layla’s message still glowe
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Three blocks away
The ride home felt longer than usual. Layla sat quietly in the backseat of the taxi, staring out the window as the city moved past in a blur. Normally, she would have been talking with Chloe on the phone about everything that had happened at school. But today was different.Today had been… insane.
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Expelled
For two seconds—The entire hall went silent.Then it exploded.“What?!”“No way!”“He BOUGHT the school?!”Students turned to each other in disbelief.Teachers looked stunned,even some staff members were whispering.Chloe slowly turned toward Layla.Her eyes wide.“LAYLA.YOU DID NOT TELL ME HE COUL
