Lahat ng Kabanata ng After My Wedding Was Stolen, I Married Ex's Uncle: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

The drive home should have calmed me. Normally the quiet of the evening streets soothed my mind. But tonight my thoughts refused to settle.All I could see was Sienna’s face. More specifically, the look in her eyes when I left Rowan’s hospital room.My fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel.What if she had something to do with the motorbike accident?The thought had surfaced before, but I had always pushed it away as paranoia.But now? Now I wasn’t so sure.Sienna had motive. Plenty of it.She hated me. That much was obvious. To her, I was the inconvenient woman who kept distracting the man she wanted to win over.I swallowed hard. "No," I muttered to myself as I turned onto my street. "She wouldn’t go that far."Trying to murder someone was a completely different level of cruelty. Even Sienna couldn’t—…or could she?I parked outside, still feeling unsettled.The moment I stepped inside my house, kicking off my shoes and dropping my purse on the couch, my phone buzzed lou

Amelia’s POVThe café Luca had chosen sat on a quiet corner overlooking the river. Normally I would have loved a place like this. But today I felt… tense.I spotted Luca immediately. He was seated at a table near the window. Dark hair perfectly styled, crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled just enough to show his forearms, and that effortless confidence that seemed to cling to him like cologne.When he saw me, his face broke into a dazzling smile as he stood. "Amelia!" he called warmly.I forced a polite smile as I walked toward him. "Good morning, Luca."He stepped forward and took my hand before I could react, brushing a kiss across my knuckles. "Such a pleasure to see you again."I gently pulled my hand back. "Right. Well, uh... Thank you for meeting me.""For me it is the honor," he said smoothly.I sat down across from him.I couldn’t forget one crucial fact: he was Zara’s boyfriend. And no matter how charming Luca might be, I couldn’t let anything inappropriate happen. Not e

Amelia’s POV"I heard you, Amelia." Rowan growled, his voice low and dark."When you said you were going to find out what Sienna’s been doing," he continued, his sharp eyes locking onto mine, "I decided I’d like to know what that meant."I stared at him in disbelief. "You were awake?"Rowan leaned slightly back in the wheelchair, arms folded carefully over his injured ribs."Awake enough."Behind him, the nurse who had wheeled him in was smiling down at him like he was the most fascinating man she’d ever seen.Which, unfortunately for my sanity, seemed to be a common reaction women had around him."She’s the one who helped me," Rowan said, gesturing toward her.The nurse beamed."When she saw you taking Liam out of his hospital room," Rowan continued, "she warned me."The nurse tilted her head sweetly. "I was just looking out for Mr. Lancaster."I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly saw my own brain. Of course she was."And then?" I asked flatly."And then," Rowan said calmly, "we followe

Amelia’s POVLiam hit the floor with a sickening thud.For a split second, everything froze. Then instinct took over."Doctor!" I shouted, dropping to my knees beside him. "Somebody help him!"Liam’s small body lay crumpled, his skin suddenly even paler than before. His lashes fluttered faintly."Liam—hey, Liam, can you hear me?" I said, my hands hovering over him, afraid to move him the wrong way.I lifted my head, looking around frantically. "We need medical attention! Can someone call a doctor?!" I called out."No!" Sienna’s voice cut through the chaos like a whip.She rushed forward and grabbed my arm, yanking me back."We are not doing this here," she snapped. "We’re taking him back to his actual hospital."I stared at her, completely stunned. "Are you serious right now?""Yes," she said sharply. "I don’t trust anyone here. Least of all you."I let out a disbelieving laugh. "This is not about me!""Isn’t it?" she shot back, her eyes blazing. "Who knows what your real intentions w

Amelia’s POVThe sound of the doors swinging shut behind Sienna echoed through the hallway long after she had disappeared.For a moment, no one spoke. It was like the air itself had been knocked out of the room.I stared at the spot where she had stood just seconds ago, my mind struggling to catch up with everything that had just unfolded."She really…" I whispered, my voice trembling. "She really did that to him."Rowan didn’t respond immediately.When I turned to look at him, my breath caught.He looked… shattered.Not angry. Not even furious. Just… broken."I need a minute," Ethan muttered, running a hand through his hair. "Coffee, anyone?""No, thanks," Rowan and I said in unison.Ethan’s gaze flicked between us, something knowing in his expression. He gave Rowan a small nod—almost like a silent encouragement—before walking off, leaving the two of us alone in the hallway.The silence stretched between us. Heavy. Loaded.Rowan shifted slightly in his wheelchair, his hand tightening
