Semua Bab His ruthless uncle's obsession : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Kate's parents were very gentle, peaceful people. I doubted they had ever made an enemy in their entire lives. They were the most easy-going and cheerful people I had ever met, and yet, I had just brought a deranged psychopath to their doorstep. Someone evil enough to bypass security and stroll into their daughter's room as if it were a public playground.The police were currently in the living room, and investigations were ongoing. But as I stood by the staircase, staring at the terrified look on Mr Jude's face, I made a decision.I had to leave immediately before I caused any more trouble for a family that had known peace all their lives.I quickly walked back to Kate's room, grateful she was still in the bathroom. I grabbed my bag, shoved my phone inside, and slipped off the front door, intentionally avoiding her parent’s gaze as I walked past them.I hailed a cab, instructing the driver to take me to the hotel Kate and I had recently been lodged in.I paid for a week in the lobby,

I was suffocating.Veiny, pale hands were wrapped tightly around my throat, strangling me. I was gasping for breath, thrashing and struggling against the sheets, but my efforts were futile against the strong, masked intruder pinning me on the bed. I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out.The next moment, I felt another pair of arms engulf me, pulling me against a strong chest. I jolted awake, snapping my eyes open and quickly glancing around the room.I was still in Michael's bedroom. I looked down at my trembling body and discovered I was covered in sweat.“Kitten. Look at me,” Michael spoke, breaking through the panic. I quickly swung my head back, just realizing that he had been here the whole time with his arms wrapped around my waist. “You are fine and safe," he murmured firmly against my hair. "No one is going to get to you. I won't allow it,”I slowly nodded without saying a word to him.He pulled me tighter against his chest, and began to slowly stroke my hair. “Yo

That was quite literally the last question Adam's father asked throughout the proceeding. I had never witness a case move so flawlessly. At first, I thought it would be adjoined and I would have to wait a couple more months to rid myself of the toxic Adams. But my newly appointed powerhouse of a lawyer walked in, and was like, hold my shoe.I was grinning from ear to ear as I walked out of the courthouse with the towering attorney walking right beside me. Power can be very contagious because at that moment, I felt untouchable.The man had dismantled the defense in less than thirty minutes. He didn't just present only one evidence, he projected photographs of my bruised cheek onto the court screens, a legal marriage document signed by Elena and Adam, my fake marriage certificate and videos from when Adam was throwing tantrums inside Greene Empire. But the beautiful icing on the cake was the moment one of Adam's lame friends walked into the witness box.I had been shocked to the bone,

As my face turned pale, Michael seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. He quickly closed the distance between us, and snatched the phone from my trembling hands.As he stared down on the screen, his jaw immediately tightened and he gripped the phone as though he wanted to snuff life out of the device.“I think it's high time I personally paid someone a visit,” he said, before slowly tearing his eyes away from the screen to look at me. “But before I do, we'll be having a party here tonight.”I stared up at him in shock, wondering why he was even considering a party after I just got threatened via text by someone still unknown.Before I could say anything, he pulled me flush against his chest and pressed a kiss on my forehead. The next second, he swept me off my feet and took me to the master bedroom.“You need to get some rest, it's going to be a long night.” He murmured against my hair, laying me down on the bed.I didn't argue with him. Hell, I couldn't. It was probably a co

My mind was still wandering when Michael's friends finished their joint speech and a slow ballroom music began to play softly.Adam and his family drew their attention away from the stage, and began to bitterly criticize anyone in the party who didn't meet their standards.“That's no way to wear a suit.” Adam's father sneered, gesturing dismissively toward Kate's dad.They all burst into a mocking laugh.“He's always looking weird," Adam's mother added in between fits of low laughter. "If it weren't for generational wealth. He won't even be qualified to be called an elite because he knows nothing. And his wife, Miranda on the other hand, is a soft clown.” “Oh she bears the same name as uncle Knox's late wife?” Elena asked.“Yeah she does. And they're both the same pair of dumb freaks.” Adam's father replied, his voice dripping with disgust.Adam's mother sighed heavily. “I can't believe Michael cut us off and believed we caused her death. We were his true family and she was just a du
