All Chapters of Ex-Husband, You Cheated. Now, Watch Me Love Your Uncle: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~Eliza~He didn’t say anything as he stalked towards me with long steps.“Wha—”The rest of my words froze in my throat as his hand grasped my arm. My breath hitched at the feel of his warm hands on my skin.“Get back in bed right now,” he snapped.That shot me straight out of my shock. I bristled and glared at him.“Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?” I said sharply, digging in my heels.He gently but firmly got me back onto the bed without replying to me. I immediately pushed back up, but he placed his palm on my chest.“Stay,” he ordered like he was talking to a dog.But it wasn’t the ridiculous order that made me stay put. It was the rather distracting fact that the heel of his palm was dangerously close to my right breast. Any wrong movement and he would brush against me.I swallowed and stilled, hardly daring to draw a deep breath.“Get your hand off me,” I ground out quietly.For a second, I thought he would refuse. But then, he moved and stepped away from the bed.

~Eliza~I was floating, in and out.Behind my eyelids, something bright above me seemed to be swinging back and forth. Or was it me?Also, what is that loud sound? It was persistent, piercing through my ears, steady and unrelenting.Groaning softly, I opened my eyes and blinked blearily. My surroundings were a familiar, eerie white.After spending weeks there after the accident, I knew without asking that I was in a hospital. Of course, I was, thanks to my shitty luck so far.I shifted and pain cut through my stomach. I groaned and touched it, pausing when my hands encountered something hard.I lifted the thin, scratchy hospital top and gulped at the sight of the thick bandages covering my stomach.Wow! Daniel really did a number on me, I thought ruefully, and tears gathered in my eyes.A breath shuddered out of me as I dropped the top and leaned back in bed.But I barely had a chance to settle before the door opened. A doctor walked in, holding a slim clipboard.Instinctively, I looke

~Eliza~I still couldn’t believe it.Twisting my simple gold band on my finger, my heart thudded against my ribcage as it sank in that I was actually married.For the second time. To my ex-boyfriend. Who was also my ex-husband’s uncle.If the evidence weren’t staring me right in the eye this moment, I would dismiss this as a dream. It was as real as the deep blue colour of Atlas’ unsmiling eyes in the picture frame.Four weeks ago, my marriage to Damien officially ended, and I was left with nothing to my name. Somehow, Atlas pulled some strings to get us married two weeks later.The whole ceremony had been a blur, and I had barely managed to greet the two people he had brought in as our witnesses. He introduced them as his friends, but the two of them had been as warm as a block of ice.And maybe I had imagined it, but one of them, a tall, beautiful blond-haired woman, had been especially hostile towards me. I had wondered whether she had some sort of claim over Atlas, but I couldn’t b

~Atlas~I turned my neck to the side to ease the cramp.But the tension in my shoulders stubbornly remained. I dropped my pen and removed my glasses before rubbing my burning eyes.I was more than tired. I was darned exhausted.It was evening already and almost everyone had left. For a brief moment, the thought of going home too crossed my mind, like it had done at least a hundred times since I got married to Eliza.And just like before, I immediately discarded the idea before it could take root. Because I knew that going home would be the most dangerous thing I had ever done.My house was the last place I could afford to be right now. Not when Eliza was there, in my house, in my bed.I closed my eyes and heaved a breath as my mind drifted to the day we got married. The memory of her wide, scared eyes was burned into my brain as surely as the way her lips had parted when she said the words, ‘I do.’Only after the registrar pronounced us as husband and wife did my heart settle into a mo

~Eliza~I blinked, squinting my eyes as if that would make me see her better.My eyesight was perfect, but I couldn't believe how much she had changed.Aria was one of Atlas' friends back then. I knew her as a quiet, blond-haired woman. She never used to say much and seemed to prefer being on the edge of the friendship.After making some attempt to get close to her like the rest of his Atlas' friends, I gave up when I was met with stony silence. I actually used to think she disliked me or something, but Atlas had said that was just the way she preferred to be.This woman standing before me right now with bright eyes and a runway-worthy smile was nothing like the person I met six years ago.“Wow,” I said after several seconds of silence had passed.Aria grinned at me and bobbed her head up and down. “I know, right!”“It's been quite the change, so I don't expect you to immediately know who I was, but really,” she rolled her eyes and laughed lightly.I chuckled too, trying my best not to
