Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dating My Ex’s Uncle: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

I never imagined someone so independent, so determined to survive on his own without his parents' wealth to depend on. Ares was different, I could tell as I looked up at the strong, tall building standing right in front of me. He had established such a magnificent image on his own.I wonder how much effort he must have put into this company all by himself. I really wouldn't be impressed if his father didn't help him out, not even adding a penny to establish his company.As I walked all the way to his office with his secretary's assistance. I was intrigued by all that I saw. Very hardworking, busy employers he had. They almost didn't notice me walking into the office with how busy they were. Or was Ares just a cruel boss who loads them all with work?He could be, with the way he talks to me. Asking me if I was really keen on exacting my revenge on Daniel or not and with the way he asked me to come out of my room so he could teach me how to shoot a gun. Who exactly was l training to kil

"Everything about this place icks of incompetence." Ares grumbled as he looked over the window, watching the rain pour down heavily. It seem to have angered him so much that he yanks the curtains closed."We should have left when I said so." He complained. Was he blaming me now? The nerve!"Under this heavy rain? You certainly don't want to last long, do you?""And what does that mean?" He asked and looking at his face, he was agitated. I thought wisely to choose my words carefully."You wouldn't be able to drive under this heavy rain, Mr Ares. We'd just get into an accident or something before we get to our destination." I said boldlyAres scoffed. "An accident? If that was the case then I would have died a long time ago." He said, taking out his phone from his pocket as he sat at the edge of the bed. What did he even mean by that?I laid down my handbag by the headboard of the bed, taking out my phone. It was late in the evening, I needed to shower even though the weather was a bit

I was going to say something when I saw Val's body tense up. Following her gaze, I immediately knew why. Instinctively, I pulled her close, holding her waist and looking into her eyes more intimately than I did on the night we had sex. "I'm here, don't be scared." I said, and immediately it sounded so cheesy to me. Did it just come out of my mouth? A lot has really been happening to me since that sex with her, I couldn't explain it. "Hey Uncle... and his lady or perhaps, escort." Daniel said, approaching us where we stood. Did he just refer to Valerie as an escort? I clenched my fist. Ares, we are in public, calm down. "Ignore him." Valerie whispered. "Still reeled that I'm with your ex wife, huh? You don't have to be. I'll take better care of her." I paused and scoffed. "Hold on, it's not like you even took care of her but rather you stole from her and tried to kill her and now, look at you, spending it all on your next victim." "What the hell?" The lady beside him excla

"Damn that bastard Dante!" I bellowed, slamming my phone to the ground in a fit of rage. My trusted friend, Steve, attempted to calm me down, his voice a tranquil oasis amidst the storm of my anger. "Let's find a way around this, Ares. Don't let it get to you."But his words fell on deaf ears. I was beyond consolation, my fury raging like a wildfire."The news is spreading like wildfire, Steve! It's everywhere! That lying Dante wants to destroy my image, and I can't just sit back and take it." I paced around the room, my anger and frustration threatening to consume me whole.Steve's question pierced the air, "Who could be behind this?" I shook my head, feeling helpless for the first time in my life."I have no idea, Steve. But I need to find out, and fast." My mind raced with the implications - my investors, my family, and worst of all, Valerie. How would I ever explain this to her? How would I convince her that I'm not the monster the news has made me out to be?Steve's words struck

As I opened my eyes, I found myself once again in Ares' bed, a familiar scene that had become a regular occurrence. I couldn't recall the last time I had woken up in my own room. Ares' sleeping face was the first thing I saw, his lips inches from mine, his gentle breathing a soothing sound. He looked endearing, his mouth puckered in a childlike pout. I was captivated by his peaceful expression, my gaze lingering on his features. But as I tried to slip out of bed, his hand instinctively grasped mine, holding me in place. "Good morning," I whispered, smiling. Ares yawned, his eyes still closed, but as they opened, his hazel gaze locked onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. It was as if he had never loved before, but now, he was consumed by it, unable to tear his eyes away. He playfully asked, "Won't I get a morning kiss?" His words were met with a gentle pull, drawing me closer to him on the bed. His eyes burned with a passion that left me breathless. "Cheesy t
