All Chapters of The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The city streets glistened with the remnants of an earlier rain, the wet asphalt reflecting neon signs like liquid jewels. Lauren was briskly walking toward a boutique she had been tasked to review for a client, her heels clicking on the pavement in steady rhythm. She barely noticed the drizzle that had begun again, pressing her coat tighter against her shoulders.“You’re late.” The voice was smooth, measured, carrying that familiar irritation that always made her bristle, no matter how much she tried to suppress it.Lauren looked up. Victor Kane stood, arms crossed, his expression a mixture of impatience and something else she couldn’t quite identify. Why does she always have to meet with him?“Traffic,” she replied evenly, her lips twitching into a small, restrained smile. “And rain.”Victor’s gaze lingered a second too long, as if weighing whether her excuses were truth or pretense. “Sure,” he said finally, stepping aside. “Come in.”The café was warm and dimly lit, a stark contras

The night had a chill that filled Livia’s residence, but inside, the tension was far warmer…it was almost suffocating. Livia sat at the small dining table in her apartment, her hands resting over the curve of her stomach, and her mind racing rapidly. Ethan’s words from earlier that day echoed in her ears.“You can’t keep it bottled forever. One day, the truth will finds its way out.”She closed her eyes, letting her fingers trace patterns over the swell of her bump. “Not yet. Not now” she whispered. Her breath felt heavy, and she was filled with fear she couldn’t let Adrian sense. Her phone vibrated on the table…it was a message from Adrian.“Call me when you’re free.”Her chest tightened. The doctor hasn't exposed her yet so what could he possibly want? Or did he find out somehow?“He’s getting suspicious” she muttered,forcing herself to breathe evenly. —Across town, Adrian leaned against the railing of his apartment balcony, phone in hand, eyes scanning the city below. He hasn't

Three luxurious cars drove into an estate, as Ava looked around she couldn't help but admire the serenity of the place, the houses, the environment…everywhere looked peaceful but one thought was at the back of her mind, “Where was Damien taking her and her family to?”The last car at the back was occupied by her father with two medical personnels and a little set up to keep him in check, the car in the middle was occupied by her mother, April, Lauren and their driver was Lucas, then Ava and Damien occupied the first car leading the other two and the car drove into big mansion, heavily guarded.Everyone got out of the car, Mr Sterling was placed on a wheel chair as he was rolled to where the others stayed but his expression wasn't friendly.“Care to explain why we are all here?” “Honey…” Mrs Sterling placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to tell him to be less strict but Damien just smirked.“Father in-law, it has come to my notice that you don't really like me”. He said while Ava st

[Silver Crest Academy]April and Gavin sat side by side, attentive to what the lecturer taught…the whole class was attentive mainly because the man standing and impacting them with knowledge ran a very strict program.One hour later, the class was over and Gavin returned to his goofy self while April tried to focus on the assignment they were given.“You're supposed to do that later…that's why it's an assignment”. Gavin stated while April rolled her eyes“I know that…but my parents are organizing a housewarming party tonight and I won't have time for this assignment”. She explained while Gavin sat up.“Housewarming? Can I come?” He begged“Nope…it's a private party and we didn't invite anyone”. April said“Please please, my parents aren't in town…it's so boring at home and I'm an only child, introduce me as your bestfriend”. He suggested “Bestfriend?” April laughed “Aren't I?” Gavin frowned while she stood up but he blocked her.“Gavin…I need to go to the library” she said but he sh

Outside the Sterling Mansion, the night was unusualy still and it made Livia fill uneasy. Maybe it was her pregnancy hormones or maybe it was the fact that she was worried about her secret being exposed.“Oh God, I hope that doctor doesn't rat me out”. She groaned and held her head.“Can I at least get you something chill to drink?” A male voice came from the kitchen “Yeah…sure”. Livia responded but the apartment door clicked and Adrain walked in, shocking her.His expression showed that all was not well.“Adrian…”. Livia stuttered while he walked closer“Livia…”. Adrain called“Here's your chilled…” The voice in the kitchen paused as Adrain turned to him. It was Ethan.“Adrian…”. He muttered, visibly shaken“Shouldn't you be in San Francisco?”Adrain asked not understanding anything but Livia pulled his hands.“Adrian…we need to talk”. She firmly said and dragged him to the room while Ethan used the opportunity to leave the building.As soon as Livia shut the door, Adrain's patience
