Semua Bab Oh No!! I Accidentally Married My Ex-Husbands Uncle: Bab 101 - Bab 110

/-Maxmillian-/“I honestly do not see the point of this meeting. She didn't inform anyone of her mother's illness. We were all kept in the dark so why are we trying to bring back the dead?” Eric asked and my jaw tightened. A few minutes after he arrives with Dante, other members of the North family arrived too. Our distant relatives were coming within the week so for now, only a few cousins and aunties were present. “No one said anything about bringing back the dead. I only said that I believe her death was not natural,” I hissed. “Does the doctor agree with you?” Eric challenged. “Because according to Melody here, it was a terminal disease, wasn't it?”Melody's eyes were still watery. Her wounds were still very fresh and the bastard was just poking at it like it meant nothing. “A terminal disease that sprung out of nowhere. Dante and I had dinner with her a few months ago and she was perfectly fine!” I stated. I glanced at Dante hoping that he would actually say something useful

/-Eric-/It was simply amusing how she thought I would want to be with a woman who was cheating on her own husband. A freaking slut!She seriously thought I was in love with her? The only reason I was fucking that pussy of her was because she was Dante's wife. I wanted to mess them all off and Piper was way too easy. A few millions here and there and was already ready to worship the ground I walked on. Stupid desperate bitch!I blocked and deleted her number from my phone. The last thing I wanted was a desperate woman clinging to me. I didn't fuck with that. Besides, I had more important things to worry about. Like the matriarch's burial. It was obvious that Maxmillian was out to get me. He might not have mentioned me directly but his actions insinuated that I was his target. Even though I was in control of the North group, the Matriarch wad the sole holder for power. She was in sole commander of of the North international network. Her command could override mine, even in my own

/-Maxmillian-/The moment I stepped out of the house and into the black SUV waiting outside, my mind was racing. Eric wasn’t wasting time. If he’d already gone to see Gerald Kline, it meant he was up to something. And if I knew Eric, and unfortunately, I did, then he was already making moves to seize control.The car ride was a blur of city lights and thoughts I couldn’t quiet. My phone vibrated twice, texts from members of the inner circle, board members suddenly “curious” about the burial. The vultures were circling. They could smell the shift in power and wanted a piece of the carcass.By the time I reached the law firm, it was nearly dark. The old building stood like a relic against the backdrop of modern glass towers. Still dignified. Still dangerous.“Mr. North,” the receptionist said cautiously when I entered, eyes wide. “Mr. Kline will be with you shortly.”“Tell him he has five minutes. Not a second more,” I said, my tone brooking no argument.She disappeared quickly, and tru

/-Piper-/I stared at Dante’s message longer than I should have. The words were harsh, meant to make me cower, but deep down, I knew Dante. I knew that no matter how furious he was, no matter how many mistakes I’d made, he still loved me.The realization hit me like a weight to the chest. Maybe I didn’t deserve it, but I had to go back. I couldn’t let everything I had with him slip away because of my confusion.I wanted to believe that the mess I’d made could still be fixed. I thought that if I apologized, if I explained the pain, the fear I had been running from, Dante would listen. He always did before, right? He would hear me out. He would understand that I was lost, that I didn’t know where to turn.I kept replaying the conversation with Eric in my head. How he had looked at me, his eyes dark with irritation when I mentioned leaving Dante. How he had shrugged me off, his smile never quite reaching his eyes when I spoke of love.Eric wasn’t the answer. I had let him be a distractio

/-Piper-/I returned home to find Dante waiting for me. “What happened?” I asked worriedly, hurrying to him. “I talked to Gianna and…”“This isn't about Gianna, Piper! It's about my business! My company. My manager called me this morning, he found the mole. You won't believe who has been behind the downfall of my company!” He gritted. “Maxmillan?” I guessed. “No, if it were Maxmillan, it would have been better but he doesn't have the time to go around scheming how to bring people down. It's fucking Eric North!” I was dumbfounded. Of course the man I was fucking cheating on my husband with was the orchestrator of his downfall. How the hell did I not see that coming?My jaw was literally on the floor. “I am going to have a fucking long talk with that bastard! He will pay for everything he has done to me! I was going him deceiving you slide for a while but it's obvious that he wants war!” I stepped in front of him, blocking his path. “Dante, wait. You can’t just go after him like
