All Chapters of Claimed by my Husband ruthless Uncle : Chapter 101 - Chapter 107

Josie’s POVThe safe house had started to feel almost like home. Lily woke up every morning and ran straight to the lake to throw stones with Alexander. She laughed louder here than she had in the city, she called him Dad without thinking twice and she kept asking me to tell her more stories about when I was a little girl. I told her the happy ones, the ones before Julian and Sarah and all the pain. She listened like they were the most important stories in the world and then she would climb into my lap and put her hand on my stomach so she could talk to the babies.“Hi little brothers or sisters” she would whisper. “I’m your big sister. I’m going to teach you how to skip stones and draw pictures and eat ice cream for breakfast when Mommy and Dad aren’t looking.”Alexander and I would smile and hold her tighter, the cramps had eased and the babies were moving more every day, in strong little flutters that reminded me why we were here and why we were fighting. The estate felt safe, hig

Josie’s POVThe safe house felt smaller every day, the walls were thick and the security was tight but I could feel the pressure building outside like a storm that refused to break. Lily had started therapy the morning after the attack, a quiet woman named Dr. Elena came to the estate twice a week and sat with her in the sunroom, I stayed close the first time just in case but Lily asked me to wait outside, I paced the hallway the whole hour and when she came out she looked lighter somehow, she climbed into my lap and rested her head on my chest.“I told her about the bad man” she said softly. “And how Mommy shot him to save me. She said it’s okay to feel scared and okay to feel proud of Mommy too.”I hugged her tight and felt the tears prick my eyes, my eight-year-old daughter was already learning how to carry the weight of what I had done, she looked up at me with those big eyes that saw too much.“Mommy can we have another baby after the twins? I want a big family, so no one ever fe

Josie’s POVThe safe house felt different after the leak. The air was lighter, like the storm had finally broken. I sat at the small kitchen table with my laptop open and watched the news ticker scroll across the screen. Victor’s face was everywhere. The old photos from his military days. The leaked documents showing the payment to the fixer. The witness statement that placed him at the hunting lodge the night his father died. I had sent it all. No more hiding behind anonymous tips. I signed the email with my name.Josephine Hart-AlexanderThe vengeful architect was back. I wasn’t hiding anymore. I was done being the woman who waited for the next knife. I was the one holding the blade now.By noon the stock had stopped bleeding. By three it was climbing again. Board members who had been whispering on the side lines started calling to congratulate me. I answered every call with the same calm voice. The empire was ours. The name was ours. Victor was the one running now.Alexander came i

Josie’s POVThe safe house had started to feel like a cocoon. The walls were thick, and every night Alexander held me like the world couldn’t touch us, but the world was still out there, victor was still breathing, sarah was still married to him and still carrying her proof like a loaded gun, the Langfords were still pulling strings from the shadows. Yet here we were, two days before the wedding, trying to pretend the storm had passed.I stood in the small sunroom with the wedding dress hanging on the door. It was simple white silk with a soft skirt that skimmed over my stomach. The babies were starting to show now. A gentle curve that made my clothes fit differently. I ran my hand over the fabric and felt one of them kick hard like he was reminding me he was there. Twins. Two little boys the doctor had confirmed on the last ultrasound. I still hadn’t told Alexander the gender. I wanted to wait until the wedding night. A gift. A promise. Something pure in the middle of all the blood
