In Bed with My Shitty Ex and his Uncle: His Contractual wife의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Elena’s POVI shouldn’t have come back ready to fight.But I did.The word child kept replaying in my head like a broken voice note I couldn’t delete. A child. Adrian had been keeping Secrets about a child. By the time the car pulled into the mansion, my jaw was tight and my chest felt like it was full of static.I was going to confront him.Tonight.No dodging or pretending.I pushed the door open….And stopped.The dining room was lit.Not mansion-lit.Not “staff prepared this because the boss said so” lit.Candles.Actual candles.Soft music playing low. It looked like everything I wished for.A table set for two.And Adrian.No suit or Cold CEO Energy.Just him. In a dark shirt with his sleeves rolled up, hair slightly undone like he’d dragged his hands through it too many times.He looked… nervous. I loved it.I froze.He looked up and saw me.For a second, neither of us spoke.Then he cleared his throat.“You’re back.”“…Yeah,” I said slowly. “I was going to…just leave.”“I kno

Adrian’s POVI was late to the meeting because I didn’t want to leave my bed….that alone should’ve scared me.A flash of what had happened last night jocked my memory. I remembered her lavender smell, her beautiful moans and then how she kissed me like she wanted to forget herself.I stared at the ceiling, jaw tight.This was a mistake……Letting her get under my skin.I could still remember her soft fingers on my chest.I reached for my phone..“Shit…” I exclaimedI had missed three calls. All from the same number…..Serena.I looked at my reflection in the mirror for the last time before opening the door to the boardroom The boardroom was already full when I walked in.Which meant they’d been talking…..About me.About what they always talked about when they thought I wasn’t listening.My uncle sat too comfortably in my chair.That was the first thing I noticed.He didn’t stand or pretend to act like it was a mistake.I stopped walking.“Enjoying yourself?” I asked.A few people flinch

Elena's POV My lips crashed into his, hungry and desperate, our mouths devouring each other like we were starved for air. Adrian's hands trace my body as he grips my hips, yanking me against him, and I moan into his mouth, tasting the bitter edge of your arrogance mixed with hot burning scotch. He shoves me back, slamming me onto his desk, knocking over everything in his path. The glass breaks and the papers scatter all over the floor….. but none of it matters. All I see is him….. all I feel is him…..I wanted him deep inside me so badly. His fingers dug into my thighs, lifting me, spreading me, and I arch into him, wanting more. "You always think you're in control," I hiss, but my voice cracks with want. “Just shut up for once!" He says and he places me on his deskHis mouth trailed down my throat, licking the pulse pounding beneath my skin, as I gasped in pleasure, gripping his hair and pulling him closer. Adrian knew exactly how to push my buttons, how to make me beg for his

Elena’s POVThe moment Adrian said “ his uncle”, something cold slid down my spine. He was right about not trusting his uncle…. except I and his Uncle were working together to destroy him.I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly very aware of how exposed we were standing out here….smoke still hanging in the air, firefighters moving around like ants as reporters circled the gates like vultures.“Your uncle?” I repeated.Adrian nodded once, his face contorted. But I could see it in his eyes….rage trying to stay on a leash.“He’s the only one bold enough,” he said. “And the only one stupid enough to think I wouldn’t trace it back to him.”I swallowed. “Adrian… listen to me.”He turned fully to me now.“Don’t confront him yet,” I said quickly. “Not like this….. You're angry and not thinking rationally….You could do things you regret….You could literally be tearing your family apart from nothing.”His jaw tightened in rage. “You want me to do nothing?”“No,” I said. “I want you to be sma

Elena’s POVThe penthouse looked nothing like it had when we first arrived….Party decorations and the smell of Vodka filled the room.I wanted to use the opportunity to forget everything that had happened with the fire and the child…Adrian on the other hand had locked himself in his study.He didn't understand the concept of the party as a Millennial.Cate went full influencer mode the second the first guests arrived.She was in a silver mini dress,her hair slicked back. She was on an Instagram live with her phone already up, front camera on with her Influencer light, voice pitched two octaves higher than normal.“Okay guys, don’t freak out, but yes….this is the view,” she said, panning the camera toward the windows. “ This is the temporary penthouse while the mansion gets renovated…..I'm sure you heard about it on the news, it's a long story. The Fire and all…..You’ll hear about it later.”I walked past her with a tray of drinks.She swung the phone toward me. “And this is my sister-
