Oh No!! I Accidentally Married My Ex-Husbands Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

/-Gianna-/When Max had me to dress up nicely and prepare dinner for three, I naturally assumed it was a work associate that was coming over.Nothing prepared me to face his ex-wife, Kesley. I didn't know whether to be mad or confused.To think he even went to pick her up and she looked God, like she was going on a date. Maybe she was.The moment I opened the door, Max walked to me and kissed me deeply on the lips.“You look gorgeous, baby,” he commented and despite the way I felt inside, I found myself smiling like an idiot.“You have company,” I noted,. letting my attention rest on Kesley.“Yes, she will be joining us for dinner. Kesley meet the love of my life, Gianna. Gianna, meet Kesley, my ex-wife,” Maxmillian introduced.I could have sworn I saw a glint of disappointment in her eyes when he introduced me to her. Another reason for me to believe that she had an ulterior motive.I forced a polite smile, even as my stomach twisted. “It’s nice to meet you.”Kesley’s lips curved int

Gianna-/I was back to the same boring routine. Meetings, seminars, break, more meetings and work.Despite all that, it was better than staying idly at home. Maxmillan was still in a meeting but he dismised me for lunch break and as much as I wanted to display professionalism, I was hungry.I headed downstairs to the company's cafeteria. As I walked to the cuisine to pick my lunch, I could feel the eyes on me, boring holes into my skin.No matter how hard I tried, I could never get used to the stares. Some were glares, others out of plain curiosity and then the judgemental ones.After picking my food, I turned, searching for an empty table with my eyes.I spotted one at the far back but even as I walked, I could feel the eyes follow me with hushed whispers. After what seemed like forever, I got to table and kept my head down.I was well aware of the rumors spreading. Everyone was worried about my closeness to Maxmillan. Some believed that I was seducing him to keep my job but Max wasn

Maxmillian-/The drive should have been peaceful. With Gianna in my arms, all I wanted was a little peace but apparently, I wasn't going to get that.The first bullet hit the rear mirror and Gianna immediately jumped away from me.“Max…”She barely completed the sentence before the next round of bullets shattered the back windshield.“Down!” I barked, pulling her onto the floor just as the driver swerved sharply to avoid the gunfire.The SUV skidded, tires screeching against the pavement. Another shot rang out, hitting the side mirror, sending shards of glass flying.“Where the hell is it coming from?” I demanded, gripping my gun.“Three vehicles tailing us!” the guard in the passenger seat shouted. “Fully armed!”Of course, they were. This wasn’t random. It was a planned hit.Gianna was trembling beside me, her fingers clutching my arm. “Max—”“I’ve got you, baby,” I muttered, pressing a quick kiss to her temple before rising slightly to get a view.One of the black SUVs pulled up on

Gianna-/When we got home, I hurried to my room, locked the door and hurried to the bed before pulling the duvet over my head.“Gianna,” Maxmillian called from outside the room, knocking repeatedly on the door. “Baby, open the door please. I can explain.”I didn't want any explanations. I just wanted to sleep this off. It would be easier than confronting the truth.“Go away, Max. I want to be left alone,” I pleaded.Silence stretched on the other side of the door, but I knew he was still there. I could feel his presence like a shadow creeping under the crack of the door, refusing to leave me alone.“Gianna,” his voice was softer now, pleading. “Please don’t shut me out like this.”I squeezed my eyes shut, gripping the duvet tighter around me. What did he expect me to do? Pretend I didn’t just watch him kill men like it was nothing? Pretend I didn’t see how easy it was for him?I thought I knew him. But today proved otherwise. What did I even expect when I agreed to marry a man after j

Kesley-/I knew he was going to come.Maxmillan couldn't resist me even if he wanted to. Ex-wife or not, I had that man wrapped around my finger.I tossed my phone and got off the bed. I had already picked out the sexiest lingerie I owned and a transparent nightie.That was more than enough to do the job. With Max, you didn't even need to do a lot, especially when he was head over heels for you. Every single action of yours becomes automatically appealing to him.I soaked in the tub, using all the fragrances he liked and after drying my body, I got dressed. A little bit of perfume and falling hair, I knew I was going to steal not only his eyes but his heart.I picked out the oldest wine in my collection and set two glasses.“Alexa, set the mood with something soothing,” I ordered and the lights turned into a dim blue with soft music playing in the background.Perfect.A few minutes later, I heard the car drive in and I was beyond excited.I took another look at myself to make sure I w
