Your uncle is a better choice, dear ex-husband Chapter eleven.
Renna's POV.I stood in front of the mirror, tugging at the hem of the emerald bodycon dress I’d just pulled out of the wardrobe.The wardrobe Landon had stuffed full of expensive clothes for me the moment I moved in. I hadn’t bought a single thing in there, and tonight, I was grateful for it.The dress hugged my body like a second skin. Too tightly. I wasn’t used to this.I turned sideways, surprised by the hourglass figure I was seeing in the mirror, I wasn't used to wearing tight clothes back when I was married to Hayes because I was a married woman and wanted to act as such, I've hidden myself under those baggy hideous gowns that I actually forgot how my body was shaped like. I exhaled deeply and lowered myself on the dressing chair, facing the mirror close-up as I reached for the little tube of mascara I kept in my drawer. I wasn’t a makeup person, never had been. But I figured a little something might make me look more put together. A light sweep on my lashes, a dab of gloss, a

Renna's POV.It was the weekend, which meant Landon was home.And because he was home, I’d been hiding for the better part of the day.The bedroom had become my refuge. I’d slept, scrolled mindlessly through my phone, read the same page of a book five times without comprehending a single word, and mostly stared at the ceiling, listening for the faintest sound that might mean he was walking down the hallway.I hated that I was this jittery, but after everything that had happened in the last week, especially with Landon being an effortless flirt... it was easier to stay away. My pulse had been dancing in my throat every time I imagined running into him in the kitchen or living room, thankfully he never stayed in the room for longer than few minutes. I had only just started to relax, legs tucked up against my chest on the bed, when the door creaked open without warning.Landon stepped in.I froze immediately, my heart beating so hard against my chest. He was dressed casually, black shi

Renna's POV.The next morning started out the same way as the day before... breakfast served like I was a queen instead of a woman still trying to figure out her place in this unfamiliar world.As I walked back to the room after a really good breakfast, I happened to glance at the mirror by the dresser.And my stomach sank.“Oh my God,” I muttered under my breath.I stopped and stared at my reflection.My hair looked dry and tangled as hell, my face looked tired, and the oversized T-shirt I’d thrown on made me look like a lost teenager instead of someone trying to rebuild her life.No!I’d been so busy adjusting to this new environment that I hadn’t even noticed how… tattered I looked.“This,” I whispered at my reflection, “is not the version of me I want walking around this mansion.”And then it hit me... finally, I had a reason to leave the house.I marched to the closet, and picked out a simple but chic outfit: dark fitted jeans, a cream blouse tucked in, and flat sandals. A little

Renna’s POVWhen I woke up, the room was already dark. I blinked rapidly and sat up, rubbing my eyes. “What the hell…?” I mumbled to myself, glancing at the clock on the bedside table. Evening.I had slept the entire day away.I ran a hand through my hair and groaned softly. I never slept this much.. ever. Maybe my body was still trying to adjust after the hospital, or maybe it was this ridiculously soft bed that felt like a trap.I slipped out of bed and padded barefoot down the wide hallway, when I reached the stairs and strolled to the living room, a couple of the maids immediately spotted me.“Mrs. Campbell,” one of them said, hurrying toward me with a warm smile. “Are you ready for dinner?”I hesitated. “Dinner? Uh, no, not yet. I just… need to stretch my legs for a bit.”“Shall we prepare something light for you while you walk?” another asked.I waved them off gently. “No, no, it’s fine. I’ll let you know when I’m hungry.”They bowed slightly and stepped back as I slipped out o

Renna’s POVI woke up to the sound of a soft knock on the door.For a moment, I thought I was dreaming, because the knock was gentle, absolutely nothing like the thunderous pounding Hayes used to do when he was in one of his moods; back then, I’d wake up with my heart hammering against my ribs, already apologizing for things I hadn’t done.But this was different.I blinked my eyes open, and pushed the covers aside. “Who’s there?”There was a brief pause before I heard a female voice. “Good morning, Mrs Campbell, breakfast is ready and served.”I froze halfway to the door. 'Mrs. Campbell?It still felt strange hearing it.I guess I'll get used to it.I opened the door slowly and found one of the maids standing there.I blinked at her, a little dazed. “Breakfast… is ready?”“Yes, ma’am,” she said, bowing her head slightly.I stared at her for a moment too long, my mind flashing back to my life with Hayes.Every single morning, I’d drag myself out of bed before the sun, tiptoeing around
Your uncle is a better choice, dear ex-husband Chapter six.
Renna’s POVThe hospital discharge was a whirlwind; doctor Adolphus reminded me, for the third time, to rest and not overexert myself. Landon hovered the entire time, his presence commanding the space like he owned it... well, technically, he owned everything else, so why not the hospital, too?Then we left.The ride was long and quiet. I stared out the tinted car window as New York’s bustling streets rolled past, my mind still clinging to the signature on the marriage papers I’d signed the night before. That pen stroke had changed everything, though it didn’t feel real yet.But it became real when we finally pulled up to… this.“Oh.. My.. God,” I breathed, my mouth falling open as the car came to a smooth stop in front of an enormous gate.Landon glanced at me from the driver’s seat, his mouth curving into a smug smirk. “Something wrong, kitten?” I whipped my head toward him. "Why is this place so… so huge?!”He chuckled lowly, pressing a button on the console. The iron gates began
