Semua Bab Dear Ex, Your Uncle Claimed Me : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Elena’s POVThe sound of Caspian choking hit me like a nightmare.He dropped the half-eaten cookie and stumbled backward, his hand clutching his chest tightly as he dropped to his knees. His handsome face twisted in pain, eyes tightly shut, mouth gasping for breath.“Caspian!” I screamed, the box of cookies falling from my hand as I rushed to his side.He couldn’t speak at first. His throat sounded tight, as if something was blocking his air. I touched his face, my hands shaking as I tried to understand what was happening.“I… I’m allergic…” he finally forced out through clenched teeth, sweat dripping down his forehead.“Allergic?” I whispered, trying to stay calm, even though my heart was racing in fear. “To what?”He looked at the cookie he’d just eaten, his eyes fluttering with pain. “Nuts… There were nuts…”I froze. Nuts? Oh no… I didn’t check. I didn’t even read the label. I had just thought they looked nice and would be a fun little treat. Something to celebrate. Something sweet

Caspian's POV. I stood in front of the mirror, buttoning up my white shirt slowly. My hands moved without thinking, but my mind was far away. I hadn’t seen Elena since last night… since the fight with Caleb outside the mansion.She had called out to me after it happened. I remembered her voice—soft, scared, almost broken. But I didn’t stop. I walked away from her. I couldn’t face her.I didn’t sleep in our room last night. I stayed in the guest room. Alone.Now, I was getting dressed, trying to act like everything was fine. But it wasn’t. My chest felt tight. My heart was heavy. I wasn't even sure why. Maybe… maybe I felt guilty.Why should I feel guilty? I didn’t do anything wrong. Caleb was the one who crossed the line. But then, I remember Elena’s eyes; they were confused when I left the room. Leaving her all alone. And it made my stomach twist.I fixed my tie and stared at myself in the mirror. My face looked calm, cold even. Like I had no feelings. But inside, I was a mess.A

Elena's POVI couldn't stop myself from staring out of the window at every second that passed by. I hadn't seen Caspian for the whole day, and he clearly didn't want to see me. I wasn't sure why, but whenever I tried to ask, he shoved me away.After the incident with Caleb, who had stormed into his mansion last night, things weren't the same. He ended up shutting me out. I wasn't sure what Caleb, that moron, had said to him, but I really needed to clear things up.I hadn't expected to fall for him, to fall in love with someone as dangerous as he was, but then I couldn’t stop myself, and this is what I get? Was love this difficult?My fingers ran through every strand of my hair as I walked back to my bed. I picked up my phone, and turning the screen on, I was expecting to see his call, but nothing came.“Maybe he's busy? But how can he be busy? He's never too busy to pick up,” I mumbled in worry, several thoughts slamming through my mind at this point.I ended up dialing his contact ag

Elena's POVJust as I kept walking around in the mall, I suddenly caught the beautiful and stunning sight of a white sleeveless dress. It had crystal stones adorned on it and not to speak about the beautiful patterns on it.With joy in my heart, I rushed into the store. I was so excited that I could buy it right away. It was so beautiful. Getting closer to where it was displayed, I stood still, admiring it.“This is perfect,” I muttered under my breath. I looked around the area, but there were no sales personnel. But I was willing to wait.Trust me, the dress was worth it. Just as I stretched my hand towards the dress to feel its fabric and know what kind of material it was, a hand, strong and firm, held mine out of the blue, making me jerk in shock as I turned my face towards the person.“How dare you barge in here to steal clothes?”From what I could tell, she was the sales personnel. But her statement was outrageous and annoying too.“I didn't barge in here, the doors were open. Wh

Elena's POV. I looked down at Isabella, still kneeling on the ground like a snake caught in her own trap. My hands trembled, not with fear, but with rage. I remembered how she had humiliated me—how she stood there lying with a straight face, how she smiled while they dragged me across the floor like I was nothing. And the saleswoman—how she had slapped me, called me a thief, and made me feel so small.But now? Now everything had changed.Caspian had given me the power. He wanted me to get back at her. He wanted me to do it without pity.So I stepped forward, my legs still shaky, but my heart steady. My chest rose and fell as I raised my hand and slapped her across the cheek. The sharp sound echoed like thunder in the mall, making everyone freeze. Isabella’s head jerked to the side, her eyes wide in shock.That first slap stung my palm, but it didn’t stop me.She deserves it. I slapped her again. And again.Tears burned in my eyes, but I wasn’t crying because I was sad—I was crying
