Semua Bab The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Ava stepped out of the car slowly, her eyes scanned the familiar environment, nothing had changed and yet…Everything felt different.The neighborhood was quiet, not rich, not poor, just…normal. The kind of place where people minded their business, where children still played outside and neighbors greeted each other without hesitation.Lauren came around the other side, holding the shopping bags. “Still the same,” she said and sniffed the air.Ava nodded faintly, “Yeah…”They walked toward the small house, before they could knock, the door opened.“Ava!”A woman rushed out immediately. Graceful, yet visibly tired. Her eyes widened with relief as she pulled Ava into a tight hug.“Mom…”Ava’s voice softened instantly. Mrs. Sterling pulled back, holding her face, “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” she asked.“You would have worried too much.”“I’m already worried,” she replied.Ava smiled faintly. “I’m fine.”Before anything else could be said, A smaller figure rushed out.“Ava!”

The day was slowly coming to an end as the sun was beginning to set. Ava stepped out of the fashion house, looking tired as she yawned but stopped.Because someone was waiting, leaning casually against a car. It was Livia.A slow smile spread across her lips.“Well… look who it is.”Ava didn’t react, She kept walking trying to avoid whatever Livia's mission was.Livia pushed herself off the car, “You really think you can just walk away?” she asked.Ava stopped and turned finally acknowledging her, “What do you want?”“To remind you of your place.”Livia frownedAva raised a brow, “Oh?”Livia stepped closer, “You can pretend all you want,” she said softly, “but we both know you’ve already lost.”Ava smiled, “Lost what?”“Adrian.”Ava tilted her head slightly, “You mean the man I’m divorcing?”Livia’s smile stiffened, “That’s not how it looks…your marriage is ending because I'm giving him what you can't give to him” she smiled, rubbing her slightly protruding tummy.Ava stepped closer, he

Days later, A big wide hall was getting decorated…The hall shimmered with wealth, crystal chandeliers hung like falling stars, Golden lights reflected off polished marble floors and every table was dressed in silk and glass.The hall stinked with luxury, power, and control.Reporters filled the entrance, cameras flashing endlessly, paparazzi shouting names. It was everything Damien hated but he included everything into the birthday party preparation.Albert adjusted his suit as he stepped in while Amber walked beside him, smiling for the cameras. “My brother sure knows how to confuse people,” she muttered through clenched teeth.Albert glanced around,“I thought he hated attention?” Amber scoffed lightly, “We’re related by blood, not by brain,” she said. “So I don’t know what he’s thinking.”The doors opened again, Grandfather Jonathan walked in confidently, dressed in a deep navy suit with a silver cane in hand, beside him, Grandma Marie wore an elegant wine-colored gown, diamonds res

Livia sat on the edge of her bed, she looked pale and still, too still. Her phone rested loosely in her hand, but her mind wasn’t there. It was stuck, looping and repeating the hurtful words Adrian threw at her during Damien’s birthday party. Days have passed but she still couldn't get over it.“…I only want your child… for us.”Her lips trembled and her fingers tightened around the bedsheet as the memories flooded her mind.“…You didn’t think I was going to marry you, did you?”A tear slipped down her cheek slowly, she felt her chest burning.“I still love Ava.”That one…that one hurt the most. Livia let out a shaky breath.Her chest tightened painfully, “So what was I?” she whispered but the silence answered her.Her eyes hardened slowly as the pain in her chest twisted into something darker, “This is all her fault…”she said, her voice was no longer shaky. It was cold and steady.“If she wasn’t there… if she didn’t exist…I could have done better in winning him over” Her jaw clenched

Another school day just came to an end and April adjusted her bag as she stepped out of the school gate. Her eyes scanned the road and she saw him again leaning casually against his car, smiling like this was a routine.April rolled her eyes.“This is no longer a coincidence.” She walked toward him, opened the door and got in before he even spoke.Lucas raised a brow as he entered the driver’s side.“…Confident today.”“Take me to your house,” she said flatly. Lucas blinked surprised, then smirked,“Aren’t you too young to be going to a stranger’s house?”April turned to him, her face squeezed in disgust at his thoughts. “My mom works for you, dummy,” she said. “Obviously I’m going to see her.”Lucas chuckled,“Fair enough.”The car pulled off and minutes later, they arrived. The house was calm and warm. The scent of food filled the air.April stepped in first, “Mum?”“I’m… here!” Mrs. Sterling’s voice came from the kitchen. She recognized her daughter's voice but wasn't sure this was the
