Semua Bab BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE : Bab 1 - Bab 10

The Hayes family mansion felt like a tomb as Evelyn pushed through the heavy front doors. Her stepmother's shrill voice called from the living room"Evelyn? Is that you? What are you doing here?” Evelyn didn't even slow down or glance her way. Her target was her father's study.She climbed the marble staircase, her heels clicking against each step like a countdown. When she reached the heavy wooden door, she didn't bother knocking. She shoved it open so hard it hit the wall.Her father, Richard Hayes, looked up from his computer with irritation. "Evelyn? What's the meaning of this?""I'm calling off the engagement." Her voice came out steady, and controlled. "I won't marry Nathan."Richard's face darkened. "Excuse me? What is this nonsense you're spilling about?""I found him with Maya. In his bed. She's pregnant with his child."She waited for shock. For anger on her behalf. For some sign that her father cared about her pain.Instead, Richard leaned back in his chair and sighed like

WARNING: MATURE CONTENTEvelyn checked her phone again. Nathan was over an hour late. If she hadn't been here to gather evidence, she would have left long ago. Her patience was wearing thin, but she needed this confession.She stared at the untouched glass of wine, her nerves getting the better of her. Maybe just a small sip to calm down, she thought. After everything that had happened today, she deserved at least that.She lifted the glass and took a careful sip. The wine was sweeter than she expected, with an odd aftertaste that lingered on her tongue.Within minutes, something felt wrong. Her body started feeling warm, then hot. Her throat became dry, and she found herself drinking more of the wine, thinking it would help. It only made things worse.The room began to spin slightly. Her limbs felt heavy, and keeping her head up became difficult. Panic started to set in as she realized what was happening.The same server appeared beside her table, his smile too practiced, and fake."

Evelyn finally made it home to her apartment. She didn't even remember the taxi ride or climbing the stairs. She collapsed on her living room floor, tears streaming down her face.Then she remembered her phone had been recording all night. With shaking hands, she found the audio file and pressed play.She heard her own voice first, weak and desperate. Then a deep man's voice she didn't recognize. Then... sounds that made her stomach turn. Moans. Her moans mixed with his.She cried even harder, clutching her phone like it could somehow undo what had happened.She dragged herself to the bathroom. When she saw the purple marks scattered across her skin, she felt sick. She grabbed a rough sponge and started scrubbing hard. She scrubbed until her skin turned red and raw. The physical pain was nothing compared to the ache in her chest.But as the hot water ran over her, something shifted inside her. The tears stopped. The shaking stopped.She couldn't take this lying down. She had to confro

Evelyn struggled wildly as the men dragged her down the hallway. This was her only chance to expose the truth, and it was being ripped away from her. She tried to scream, but one of them pressed a cloth over her mouth.They were almost at the conference room when three large men in dark suits stepped out of nowhere, blocking their path."Let the lady go," one of them said. His voice was calm but deadly.The men holding Evelyn laughed. "Get lost! Do you know who we work for? This is Sinclair family business! How much did this crazy girl pay you?"The three men didn't move an inch. "We won't ask again."Evelyn's captors made the mistake of attacking first. The fight was over in seconds. The three newcomers moved like professionals, dropping Nathan's men to the floor without breaking a sweat. The last guy holding Evelyn got so scared he let go and tried to run, but a quick hit to the back of his head knocked him out cold.The men turned to Evelyn, who was still gagged and shaking. She st

For a long moment, the grand ballroom was completely silent. Every guest seemed to be holding their breath.All eyes turned toward the source of that commanding voice. Roman walked calmly through the crowd, his presence commanding immediate attention. Nathan began trembling visibly."U-Uncle?" Nathan stammered, his voice shaking with fear.Roman's gaze was ice-cold as he looked at Nathan's raised hand, still frozen in the air. "Tell me," he said, his voice dangerously low, "were you about to strike your aunt?"Nathan's hand dropped to his side like he'd been burned. The crowd buzzed with confusion and shock. Alexander looked completely bewildered. Evelyn's mind was reeling. Uncle? This was Nathan's feared uncle? Nathan had actually sent her to his own uncle's bed? And what did he mean about being pregnant?Roberts, Nathan's father, finally found his voice. "Roman, perhaps you could explain yourself? Do you understand what you're implying? She is your nephew's fiancée."Roman let out a
